Dutch night

We've had ourselves a real dutch night with traditional pea soup, following my mum's receipe, yummie.

And with all dutch presents from our friends out of the Netherlands, it really looked like a dutch event aswell,

Following will be the quest of finding the recipe for 'pepernoten' & speculaas', because Sint is coming the 5th of December....

Doll Sam

Doll Sam is going to live with Noah and I think he will have a wonderfull time with him.

Have great adventures!

Amber on a stroll..picking acorns

project: doll fashion... for Amber, Suzie and Mila

This weekend I finished all the clothes of the new doll-girls.

So many clothes as I already made, so little made it to the dolls. Now they are nicely and ready to play, I think.

So with the idea to finish other waiting projects and not to touch my sewingmachine for a while, is it that I am seeing all those lovely fabrics laying on a 'working'pile, giving me fresh clothing combinations and great new ideas...

So first all the other projects I am working on will have their turn,as I promise myself.

Know that feeling????

Oja, and the best job of this weekend what I can advise you to do after a finished project is: cleaning up! Everything ready to use any time soon.

Happy Halloween,

Forgot all about my little witch.

Just in time on Halloween in front of our window.

Hope you had a great time!

My first carved Pumpkin!!!

And it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be..... I do however want to 'have', no, refrase I 'need' this special knife we used for it at the communitycenter at Coal Harbour....Just to do it again, so handy! even to use to cut up all the pumpkins for all the soups I like to make. (now you know how my shopping-alterego works)

The best Pumpkinsoup of our Family this season is: with Thyme/Bayleave/Sage!!!!

Yummie.

Just fry onions, add garlic and cutted pumpkin, bake. Add herbs, (If you have fresh just bundle it up with a piece, say: onion, or leek) Add veg.stock (or chicken if you like) and just leave it on the stove. Puree the mass, season it with salt to your likings. Serve with some sourcreme. we love to eat it together with a toasted sandwich and goatcheese!!!!
