Inmiddels heb ik zo'n 10 dekentjes gehaakt.Allemaal verschillende.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;A little over a year ago I got inspired to crochet a Granny Stripe blanket after seeing them on&amp;nbsp;the Attic24 blog. I ordered the wool and got to work.Now I made over 10 different Granny Stripes blankets and am still not hooked out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_6vFquCI6j8/TuhoZqn6kGI/AAAAAAAAKI0/EvWYJBQIOz0/s1600/DSCN6522.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="239" oda="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_6vFquCI6j8/TuhoZqn6kGI/AAAAAAAAKI0/EvWYJBQIOz0/s320/DSCN6522.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;Dit keer werd ik voor de kleuren weer geinspireerd door een Bridgewater servies. Het is het servies genaamd Feather and Eggs. Een hele mooie tere Scandinavische kleuren combinatie van bruine, beige en blauwe tinten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;This blanket is inspired by the Emma Bridgewater, Feather and Egg pottery.Very pale blues and browns and beiges.

text-align: center;"&gt;Eerst verfde ik de muur wit&amp;nbsp;en werd er&amp;nbsp;een houten frame geplaatst door m'n zoon.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;From an&amp;nbsp; opening between our kitchen and our hall we made a little play kitchen for our granddaughter.It is only33 x&amp;nbsp;30 inch. First I painted the wall white to have as much light as possible and then we placed a wood frame.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EKENTMH4CqQ/Tted62LGg-I/AAAAAAAAKGk/VJ5JeCTFGOQ/s1600/DSCN6443.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" dda="true" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EKENTMH4CqQ/Tted62LGg-I/AAAAAAAAKGk/VJ5JeCTFGOQ/s320/DSCN6443.JPG" width="239" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;Aan dat frame bevestigden we MDF platen van 18 mm. Vanboven werd de buiten en de binnenkant afgewerkt. Vanonder werd alleen aan de kant van de gang MDF geplaatst.We lieten een opening tussen de onderkant en de bovenkant omdat ze er dan later ook winkeltje in kan spelen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;On the frame we fixed wooden panels. At the hall side we did both side and on the kitchen side we also fixed a second panel on the top. We left an opening between top and bottem because in a later stage she can also use it as a shop.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Qp1bcXEkyrg/TteeEUpHaOI/AAAAAAAAKGs/utuYidEb7x8/s1600/DSCN6469.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" dda="true" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Qp1bcXEkyrg/TteeEUpHaOI/AAAAAAAAKGs/utuYidEb7x8/s320/DSCN6469.JPG" width="239" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tZl1cb5Ls3c/TteePtP_ckI/AAAAAAAAKG0/4sDEpoLmlPs/s1600/DSCN6482.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" dda="true" height="239" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tZl1cb5Ls3c/TteePtP_ckI/AAAAAAAAKG0/4sDEpoLmlPs/s320/DSCN6482.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;Twee planken werden op dragers gelegd en we probeerden al eens of we alles wat we wilden zetten een plaatsje vond.&amp;nbsp;De bovenste&amp;nbsp;plant is dieper dan de plank eronder. Daardoor kon ik&amp;nbsp;een gordijntje monteren onder de plank. Een honden eetbak werd de pompbak en een&amp;nbsp;klein&amp;nbsp;defect kraantje maakte de natte kant af.&amp;nbsp;Voor het&amp;nbsp;kookplaatje heb ik&amp;nbsp;lang getwijfeld wat te doen maar toen ik op Marktplaats dit losstaande gasfornuisje uit Hema zag&amp;nbsp; wist ik dat dat het was wat ik wilde. Wanneer we dan een winkel willen kunnen we dat gewoon ergens anders zetten.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;On the kitchen side we mounted two shelfs.The top one is wider then the bottem one to allow us to have a curtain in front. A dog bowl is the sink and my son provided a broken tap to complete the wet side. On the other side I found a second hand gas stove that was perfect in size.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AAn3o2KtaHY/TteebcnrN1I/AAAAAAAAKG8/2Lc-t55OntY/s1600/DSCN6477.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" dda="true" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AAn3o2KtaHY/TteebcnrN1I/AAAAAAAAKG8/2Lc-t55OntY/s320/DSCN6477.JPG" width="239" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Je ziet wat een ravage het is geweest deze week.En natuurlijk had oma sint veel te veel gekocht om plaats te vinden in de keuken!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;You can see what a mess I made this week and of course grandma had bought to much to place it all in the kitchen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-O6gUUerUnRA/TteelKfSFQI/AAAAAAAAKHE/A9ANf8NzJeQ/s1600/DSCN6483.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" dda="true" height="239" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-O6gUUerUnRA/TteelKfSFQI/AAAAAAAAKHE/A9ANf8NzJeQ/s320/DSCN6483.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Vanboven was het nogal een kaal groot stuk hout dus schilderde ik er&amp;nbsp;wolkjes op, hing een vogelhuisje op en een klok en op het internet vond ik figuurtjes in hout. Deze figuurtjes waren zondag besteld&amp;nbsp; in de UK en dinsdag al hier. Gistermiddag verfde ik de figuurtjes&amp;nbsp;en&amp;nbsp; daarna&amp;nbsp;plakte&amp;nbsp; ik ze vast met houtlijm en dit leuke venster tafereeltje is het resultaat. Het enige wat rechts nog ontbreekt is een grote houten kat die men vergeten was mee op te sturen. Jammer want nu zal ik ze tegen zaterdag niet hebben.Een goede lamp van Ikea zal er voor zorgen dat het keukentje altijd klaar en helder is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;The top part was rather a large bland piece of wood so I painted some clouds on it, fixed a birdhouse and painted and glued some lazer cut wood birds and leafs to it. With this lovely window view as a result.A good lamp from Ikea gives her good light all day long.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jKDjO9phozc/TteethRH-uI/AAAAAAAAKHM/r-YtDEMqQ00/s1600/DSCN6485.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" dda="true" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jKDjO9phozc/TteethRH-uI/AAAAAAAAKHM/r-YtDEMqQ00/s320/DSCN6485.JPG" width="239" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Het laatste werk vandaag was dan alles af te wassen en de gordijntjes te maken. Het thema van het keukentje komt van een set kinder poetsgerief dat Casa deze zomer verkocht.&amp;nbsp;De hele set was gedecoreerd met&amp;nbsp;witte bloemetjes en rode lieveheersbeestjes.Dat thema heb ik verder getrokken in de gordijntjes en in de kleur van de handdoeken en zo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;My last work today was making the curtains. The&amp;nbsp;theme of the kitchen is&amp;nbsp;lady bird or lady bugs. I bought a childrens cleaning set, broom, mop, bucket and so on with&amp;nbsp;white flowers and red lady bugs on it and I used these colors also in the curtains and in the towels and dish cloth' s.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--1YM-7YABvI/Ttee1CeTAlI/AAAAAAAAKHU/_jiS4x1qDVk/s1600/DSCN6486.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" dda="true" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--1YM-7YABvI/Ttee1CeTAlI/AAAAAAAAKHU/_jiS4x1qDVk/s320/DSCN6486.JPG" width="239" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Wanneer Anne-Fleurtje er nu niet is kunnen we het keukentje afsluiten met het gordijn en daarachter ook nog haar poppewagen en haar schommelstoel proppen. Zo staat de living dan ook weer wat minder vol.&lt;br /&gt;En nu maar hopen dat Oma Sint het goed gedaan heeft en de kleine meid er veel plezier aan zal beleven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;When our granddaughter is not with us we can close the big curtain and stash a few other toys in the kitchen too.Now I only hope she loves it and she will have much play out of it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-2147188369569178867?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/2147188369569178867/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=2147188369569178867' title='4 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/2147188369569178867'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/2147188369569178867'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2011/12/speelkeukentje-play-kitchen.html' title='Speelkeukentje  Play kitchen'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EKENTMH4CqQ/Tted62LGg-I/AAAAAAAAKGk/VJ5JeCTFGOQ/s72-c/DSCN6443.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-7011129677070142535</id><published>2011-11-01T13:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-11-01T13:13:04.420-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='granddaughter'/><title type='text'>Dag créche...Bye bye creche...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LNYPoP1zCKY/TrBPMMaWL1I/AAAAAAAAKCg/5SK4wFdoxrM/s1600/DSCN6353.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="239" ida="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LNYPoP1zCKY/TrBPMMaWL1I/AAAAAAAAKCg/5SK4wFdoxrM/s320/DSCN6353.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Vorige week donderdag was het dan zo ver.Onze kleindochter verliet de creche om naar het instapklasje te gaan.

Het is een eenvoudig modelletje bestaande uit een rechte lap met een tunnel voor een elastiek. Om het toch een beetje speciaal te maken&amp;nbsp; maakte ik nog een volant die ik iets hoger op het rokje zette.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UBRA07gG-Gg/TqfCRYME0qI/AAAAAAAAKCA/cjft2OzyLBk/s1600/DSCN6365.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" ida="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UBRA07gG-Gg/TqfCRYME0qI/AAAAAAAAKCA/cjft2OzyLBk/s320/DSCN6365.JPG" width="239" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;My little granddaughter is leaving creche to go to pre-school. Since Thursday&amp;nbsp; is her last day she needed a little Halloween skirt to go in style.It's made from a patchwork fabric with black bats and pumpkins on that are rimmed in silver.Its a simple rectangular piece of fabric&amp;nbsp;with a tunnel for elastic and I made a ruffle of the same fabric. I put the ruffle about&amp;nbsp;5 cm from the bottom of the skirt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ur4mKKy89a0/TqfCfAh8LpI/AAAAAAAAKCI/partwNal_vg/s1600/DSCN6373.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" ida="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ur4mKKy89a0/TqfCfAh8LpI/AAAAAAAAKCI/partwNal_vg/s320/DSCN6373.JPG" width="239" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Na het poseren wilde ze graag nog even op de schommel die ze van m'n moeder kreeg voor haar eerste verjaardag.

Na die plaid zijn er meerdere&amp;nbsp;plaids&amp;nbsp;gevolgd. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Het resultaat van mijn haakwoede en verzamelwoede is deze plaid gehaakt in een mandjes steek maar in de kleuren van het meest bekende Emma Bridgewater servies:Polka Dots&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Hierboven met twee&amp;nbsp;bekers van het genoemde servies en hieronder met een van de honden met hetzelfde patroon.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2Dx4zCehvJs/TqPeLP1LvMI/AAAAAAAAKBw/mPtIFQuuJKA/s1600/DSCN6172.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" rda="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2Dx4zCehvJs/TqPeLP1LvMI/AAAAAAAAKBw/mPtIFQuuJKA/s320/DSCN6172.JPG" width="239" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;I have collected Emma Bridgewater pottery since the early nineties but this year I more then doubled my collection.&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand I never have crochet so much as this year. It all started a year or so agoo with the Granny Stipe plaid from the Attic 24 blog and more plaids followed that first one. The latest plaid combines my love for Emma Bridgewater and crochet. This new plaid is not in Granny Stipes but in a sort of a basket stich. I don't know the English name for it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;The plaid is in the colors of the most famous pottery pattern of Emma Bridgewater:Polka Dots.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;Here it is featured with one of the Polka Dots dogs I got as a Christmas gift last year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-893605444504412177?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/893605444504412177/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=893605444504412177' title='1 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/893605444504412177'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/893605444504412177'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2011/10/emma-bridgewater-chrochet-plaid.html' title='Emma Bridgewater chrochet plaid, gehaakte plaid'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jE0wn1vDunA/TqPdzcorMxI/AAAAAAAAKBo/QzbB0rlrkl8/s72-c/DSCN6169.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-1269299386493305355</id><published>2011-10-21T08:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-23T02:53:46.154-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='haken'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='crochet'/><title type='text'>Poncho</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0DO3hvdoFhw/TqGPoNExpZI/AAAAAAAAKBY/ygtDLBWSiWs/s1600/DSCN6216.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" rda="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0DO3hvdoFhw/TqGPoNExpZI/AAAAAAAAKBY/ygtDLBWSiWs/s320/DSCN6216.JPG" width="239" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Vorige maand brak onze 2,5 jaar oude kleindochter haar armpje. Ze kwam ongelukkig terecht toen ze voor de eerste keer&amp;nbsp;probeerde alleen uit haar kinderbedje te kruipen en daarbij&amp;nbsp;viel ze&amp;nbsp;ongelukkig op haar arm die&amp;nbsp;brak net voor de elleboog. Omwille van de plaats van de breuk moest ze in het gips tot boven de elleboog met als gevolg daar weer van dat ze in geen enkel jasje kon met haar armpje. Op 1 dag tijd haakte ik toen deze grijze&amp;nbsp; neutrale poncho voor haar.Een kleine boeketje bloemen friste het geheel op.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Omdat het zo'n leuk werkje was en het zo vlot ging heb ik een paar dagen later nog een tweede vrolijke poncho gehaakt.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;Our little granddaughter broke her arm last month and because she had no coat that would fit her I made here these poncho's.

Stilletjes op de grond. Ik dacht dat hij gewoon of een jonge vogel was die niet goed kon vliegen of een gekwetst dier. Het verbaasde mij dat hij er maandag nog steeds zat. Na een aarzelende poging tot vliegen kon ik hem vastpakken. Zijn vleugels zagen er helemaal ok uit en ook zijn pootjes en zo waren niet gebroken.&lt;br /&gt;Waarom zat hij dan daar zo zielig aan de keukendeur?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8SBL0E_PgBo/Te_csudpAWI/AAAAAAAAKAc/BPS6TTKw3d8/s1600/DSCN5621.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615949921299005794" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8SBL0E_PgBo/Te_csudpAWI/AAAAAAAAKAc/BPS6TTKw3d8/s400/DSCN5621.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Maandag morgen zat hij er nog. Het was gratis tv kijken voor de katten. Het kauwtje bleef rustig zitten. Pikte af en toe aan de vuilbak dus dacht ik hij heeft honger. Hem opgepakt en wat vlees in z'n bek geduwd en wat zaden op de grond gelegd en een bakje water bij hem gezet. Even laten zat hij op de waterbak. Toen begon het te stortregenen en hij bleef zielig zitten. Effen een bakje gehaald voor hem en er een zitstok in gezet maar het maakte hem alleen maar bang. In de vroege avond vloog hij hortend en storten door het tuinpoortje ,weg van de keukendeur.&lt;br /&gt;De katten die buitenliepen lieten hem gewoon zitten. Jack zat er op een zeker moment 10 cm vandaan maar kwam niet aan hem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vWWY0CRFMYY/Te_ciF7I64I/AAAAAAAAKAU/PP-rhq9fviw/s1600/DSCN5623.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615949738618186626" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vWWY0CRFMYY/Te_ciF7I64I/AAAAAAAAKAU/PP-rhq9fviw/s400/DSCN5623.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Dinsdagochtend vond ik hem in de voortuin. Hij was duidelijk stervende. Vliegen zaten al om z'n mooie grijze kopje te draaien. Ik vond het naar om zien. Het kauwtje had zo'n mooie blauwe oogjes en keek zo onschuldig en vol vertrouwen naar me. Hij had het moeilijk maar ik kon het niet over m'n hart krijgen om het naar het hiernamaals te helpen. Vier uur later lag hij nog te sterven. Mijn hart huilde om dit mooie dier dat zo'n moeite had om dit leven te verlaten. Ik aaide zijn kopje en legde hem onder een plant in de schaduw.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Vanmorgen was hij dood......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-5244633608638412372?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/5244633608638412372/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=5244633608638412372' title='2 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/5244633608638412372'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/5244633608638412372'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2011/06/kauwtje.html' title='Kauwtje'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cfL00o6JPGQ/Te_c2WLsYAI/AAAAAAAAKAk/Mh7jq-F9Z7A/s72-c/DSCN5622.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-1492042533151283056</id><published>2011-05-06T06:38:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-06T06:46:48.460-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='creating'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='koken'/><title type='text'>Tractaties van de jarige</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Lnxjj3RH910/TcP6v_O2W-I/AAAAAAAAKAA/ltfuEEMLQvs/s1600/DSCN5408.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603598063713541090" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Lnxjj3RH910/TcP6v_O2W-I/AAAAAAAAKAA/ltfuEEMLQvs/s400/DSCN5408.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; De kleindochter was dus jarig afgelopen weekend en dus moest er ook getracteerd worden in de creche.

Ik maakte hem in een luxe versie met briochebrood dun besmeerd met boter en braambessengelei. Daartussen flinterdunne schijfjes appel. Dan werd er een bakje braambessen over gestrooid en dan was er het deeg dat er een soort pudding van maakte en dat bestond uit 600ml melk, 2 eidooiers en 2 ganse eieren en 50 gram suiker. Overgiet het brood en het fruit met het melkmengsel en bak 10 minuten op 150 graden en dan 15 a 20 minuten op 170 graden.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;De Paas brunch was vanaf de eerste keer n' groot succes in de familie en ik vind het ook altijd heerlijk om te doen. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-7542748090293210499?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/7542748090293210499/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=7542748090293210499' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/7542748090293210499'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/7542748090293210499'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2011/04/paseneitjes-rapen-en-paasbrunch.html' title='Pasen,eitjes rapen en paasbrunch.'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IkWYWns4wCQ/TbmBFLhi5RI/AAAAAAAAJ-k/mdNqax5fouM/s72-c/DSCN5327.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-1955964648227317747</id><published>2011-03-18T14:32:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-18T14:47:03.392-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sewing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='naaien'/><title type='text'>Poesje Mau-Mau</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vtXpyTdbijA/TYPQek0rVXI/AAAAAAAAJ8o/UvL6d9fdRjA/s1600/DSCN5194.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585537186568820082" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vtXpyTdbijA/TYPQek0rVXI/AAAAAAAAJ8o/UvL6d9fdRjA/s400/DSCN5194.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Poesje Mau-Mau is een creatie van Bit of Whimsy Dolls.

Knijp de look uit over de scampi's. Rasp de schil van de citroenen en strooi over de scampi's. Kruid met peper en zeezout.&lt;br /&gt;Als de scampi's klaar zijn ( paar minuten hooguit) dan doe je er het sap bij van 1 citroen en je gooit er de ganse bos gehakte peterselie bij. Roer nog even om. Neem de scampies dan gelijk van het vuur.&lt;br /&gt;Giet de spagetti af en bewaar een paar soeplepels kookwater.&lt;br /&gt;Meng de scampies  en met de spagetti en het kookvocht en serveer meteen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6jPKL856Jfw/TXi-e84y1QI/AAAAAAAAJ7w/il2LZWSayvg/s1600/DSCN5141.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582421177075422466" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6jPKL856Jfw/TXi-e84y1QI/AAAAAAAAJ7w/il2LZWSayvg/s400/DSCN5141.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-6793422152774648148?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/6793422152774648148/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=6793422152774648148' title='1 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/6793422152774648148'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/6793422152774648148'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2011/03/lekker-en-snelle-scampies.html' title='Lekkere en snelle scampies'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EWgFF2ks5UQ/TXi-qEH7NDI/AAAAAAAAJ74/XKOYeXvOpRE/s72-c/DSCN5137.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-3402889213315320850</id><published>2011-02-26T02:31:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-26T02:40:34.016-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='naaien'/><title type='text'>Tuniek jurkje</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uFG76aWez20/TWjXOn4yioI/AAAAAAAAJ3Y/cFqJ9LYAcHo/s1600/DSCN4993b.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 238px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577944784723675778" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uFG76aWez20/TWjXOn4yioI/AAAAAAAAJ3Y/cFqJ9LYAcHo/s400/DSCN4993b.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Een nieuw jurkje stond al een tijdje op de planning.

Ik vergeet zo'n dingen altijd op te schrijven. Het schortje is volledig gedubbeld en dat maakt dat je het langs twee kanten kan dragen.&lt;br /&gt;Uit twee lapjes van zo'n 65 cm hoog X 110 cm breed kan je twee schortjes maken.&lt;br /&gt;Deze maat is geschikt voor kindjes van ongeveer 2 tot ongeveer 4 jaar. Maar de maat is gemakkelijk aan te passen zelfs naar een volwassen formaat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QdCCoIWQ1Js/TWK-NZz0bYI/AAAAAAAAJ2s/uigj9sfOVBE/s1600/DSCN5071.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576228426113904002" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QdCCoIWQ1Js/TWK-NZz0bYI/AAAAAAAAJ2s/uigj9sfOVBE/s400/DSCN5071.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Je knipt dus telkens 1 schortje uit de voeringstof ( lichtgeel katoen) en uit de voorkant stof ( met de poezen). Voor de hals- en de bindlinten knip je in totaal een reep van 160 cm ( bestaande uit 2 delen) van 6 cm breed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ibTfk7Piu7E/TWK970Z_nRI/AAAAAAAAJ2k/vZ_jVHI0phQ/s1600/DSCN5079.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576228124015697170" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ibTfk7Piu7E/TWK970Z_nRI/AAAAAAAAJ2k/vZ_jVHI0phQ/s400/DSCN5079.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Hier een idee van de maat.Onderkant van het schortje is afgewerkt zo'n 47 cm breed&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-phytshQ5DiY/TWK9ibB8uJI/AAAAAAAAJ2c/dE8a0TjFRxU/s1600/DSCN5081.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576227687707228306" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-phytshQ5DiY/TWK9ibB8uJI/AAAAAAAAJ2c/dE8a0TjFRxU/s400/DSCN5081.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoogte van het rokdeel is 27 cm afgewerkt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-K_1_ETPGI-s/TWK9aefgD5I/AAAAAAAAJ2U/wc6_BybQpME/s1600/DSCN5082.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576227551197532050" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-K_1_ETPGI-s/TWK9aefgD5I/AAAAAAAAJ2U/wc6_BybQpME/s400/DSCN5082.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uitsnijding van de arm is 17 cm breed en 18 cm hoog.&lt;br /&gt;Voeg rondom zo'n 7mm naadtoeslag bij.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EGziE_wOxRI/TWK9SbJ5jeI/AAAAAAAAJ2M/VAFjsiw4A-I/s1600/DSCN5073.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576227412862668258" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EGziE_wOxRI/TWK9SbJ5jeI/AAAAAAAAJ2M/VAFjsiw4A-I/s400/DSCN5073.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Leg nu de goede kanten op elkaar een stik het schortje rondom toe maar laat 2,5 cm open aan de taille en aan de bovenkant van het bovenstukje.De stippelstreepjes geven de stiklijn aan. De dwarse vette streepje duiden aan waar je de openingen laat.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ls558-MgH54/TWK9J8FnHCI/AAAAAAAAJ2E/ap1u6JMxsAA/s1600/DSCN5074.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576227267084229666" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ls558-MgH54/TWK9J8FnHCI/AAAAAAAAJ2E/ap1u6JMxsAA/s400/DSCN5074.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Laat aan de zoom ook zo'n 10 cm open om het geheel te kunnen draaien.&lt;br /&gt;Stik  de schortjes aan elkaar en knip daarna de naadtoeslag van de armrondingen in.&lt;br /&gt;Keer het schortje. Dus alle hoekjes goed uit en vouw de naadtoeslag van de opening waarlangs je gekeerd hebt naar binnen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Stik nu op 0,5 cm van de rand het hele schortje rond maar spaar weer de opening aan de taille en de bovenkant .Je naait nu wel de opening aan de onderkant mee toe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1GR_WT8NFug/TWK9AEUtYfI/AAAAAAAAJ18/4GtYSMBnb0I/s1600/DSCN5078.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576227097496347122" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1GR_WT8NFug/TWK9AEUtYfI/AAAAAAAAJ18/4GtYSMBnb0I/s400/DSCN5078.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Stik nu een lijn op 2,5 cm afstand aan het armsgat.Dit vormt nu de tunnel waarlangs we straks het hals en striklint gaan doorsteken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OzD9QrANMYY/TWK83o-TuiI/AAAAAAAAJ10/-YDNJxRXM2M/s1600/DSCN5077.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576226952715680290" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OzD9QrANMYY/TWK83o-TuiI/AAAAAAAAJ10/-YDNJxRXM2M/s400/DSCN5077.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Stik de delen van de striklinten aan elkaar tot 1 lang lint van  ongeveer 160 cm.&lt;br /&gt;Strijk het dubbel en vouw dan links en recht de stof naar de middenvouw en vouw het geheel weer dubbel en stik de opening dicht. Je krijgt zo één lange reep van 1,5 cm breed.&lt;br /&gt;Neen een veiligheidsspeld en rijg het lint in. Je begint aan de taille en gaat naar omhoog naar de hals. Kom daar naar boven en steek het lint aan de andere kant van de hals weer naar beneden richting taille. Op deze manier past het halslint voor ieder kind.&lt;br /&gt;En zo is je schortje af.&lt;br /&gt;Wil je er een zakje op dan stik je dat op het schortje voor je de twee schortdelen aan elkaar zet.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Uiteraard kunnen de jongensmama's met dit systeem ook een verf- of tuin- of timmer schort maken.Veel sukses!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mmjokLKNnno/TWK8vcOeONI/AAAAAAAAJ1s/YLpNCAdl_Cw/s1600/DSCN5084.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576226811854862546" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mmjokLKNnno/TWK8vcOeONI/AAAAAAAAJ1s/YLpNCAdl_Cw/s400/DSCN5084.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-3050597300993993047?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/3050597300993993047/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=3050597300993993047' title='3 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/3050597300993993047'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/3050597300993993047'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2011/02/kinderschortje-tutorial.html' title='Kinderschortje Tutorial'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0eJQGXdKQ2U/TWK-WXuNVVI/AAAAAAAAJ20/frTSgJICGxo/s72-c/DSCN5085.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-6451014279041245618</id><published>2011-02-19T01:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-20T05:06:45.109-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='naaien'/><title type='text'>Secret Valentine</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QTfLCMxzYvA/TWECYdaLPJI/AAAAAAAAJ0A/mzgX2VGpw_w/s1600/DSCN5057.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575740432895917202" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QTfLCMxzYvA/TWECYdaLPJI/AAAAAAAAJ0A/mzgX2VGpw_w/s400/DSCN5057.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Onze naaiclub ' Het Leuvens Stiksel" had dit jaar een Secret Valentine georganiseerd.&lt;br /&gt;Op voorhand hadden we een vragenlijst moeten invullen en daaruit moest onze ' Valentijn' een passend kadootje distilleren.&lt;br /&gt;Mijn partner, Misjoef had van mij katten, kleindochter en de kleuren roze,wit en groen onthouden.&lt;br /&gt;Ik kreeg dus een prachtig linnen zakje gevoerd met roze bloemetjes en in dat zakje zat er voor m'n kleindochter een allerliefst zakje met geborduurde poesjes op.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wOv8nfW-JHA/TWECP7fMCOI/AAAAAAAAJz4/JGYkSxTJsl0/s1600/DSCN5058.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575740286351182050" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wOv8nfW-JHA/TWECP7fMCOI/AAAAAAAAJz4/JGYkSxTJsl0/s400/DSCN5058.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;En in dat zakje zat nog eens een heel lief gebreid poesje voor haar. Ik was blij met m'n kadootjes.Ik kan niet wachten om maandag m'n kleindochter haar zakje en haar poesje te geven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575739989805712578" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rnXfarnR-p0/TWEB-qxPRMI/AAAAAAAAJzw/LA9XzprGWe8/s400/DSCN5060.JPG" /&gt;Dit zijn de kadootjes die ik maakte voor mijn Valentijn partner.&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PsHLZhKCRjg/TV-NWrkbobI/AAAAAAAAJzo/pgvv0vQhb8E/s1600/DSCN4918.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 342px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575330284500132274" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PsHLZhKCRjg/TV-NWrkbobI/AAAAAAAAJzo/pgvv0vQhb8E/s400/DSCN4918.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;De partner die mij werd toebedeeld was iemand die wel in de club was ingeschreven maar op dat ogenblik nog niet op onze avonden was geweest en daarinboven had ze slechts hele korte antwoorden gegeven op de vragen.&lt;br /&gt;Ik had dus heel weinig houvast. Hetgeen wat ik het meeste onthield was dat ze  een beginnende naaister was. Daarom dacht ik dat een goed speldenkussen en een handig tasje voor naaigerief zeker wel van pas zou komen.&lt;br /&gt;Voor de kleur koos ik mooie diepe donkere kleuren. Ik wist niet welke kleuren dat ze mooi vond buiten zwart dus dat was even gissen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3yOB0iC76bA/TV-NKfvOEcI/AAAAAAAAJzg/xePc_zvaWiU/s1600/DSCN4915.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575330075165725122" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3yOB0iC76bA/TV-NKfvOEcI/AAAAAAAAJzg/xePc_zvaWiU/s400/DSCN4915.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Als plezierig accent maakte ik dit muizen speldenkussentje erbij. Dit draag je om je vinger. Het is echt een heel handig ding om mee te werken.

Een hele groep mensen heeft me op een zeer pijnlijke manier heel letterlijk afgestoten in de zomer en dat doet tot op de dag van vandaag pijn. Kreeg ook een paar niet zo leuke opmerkingen over de cupcakes die hard aankwamen.&lt;br /&gt;Dan liet m'n poetshulp van jaren zo maar ineens me ook in de steek over iets wat een stom misverstand bleek te zijn.&lt;br /&gt;Dat alles maakt dat ik ook een aantal keren flink ziek geweest ben dit jaar wat ik normaal nooit ben. Ik heb toch de indruk dat als je mentaal niet sterk staat je ook fysiek sneller ziek bent.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ook m'n man heeft een dagje in het ziekenhuis gelegen en m'n zoon zelfs al twee keer. Gelukkig allemaal zonder al te veel erg.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ook de katten hebben me in 2010 heel veel kopzorgen gekost en we zijn er nog niet. De onverwachte dood van onze lieve knuffel Biggles en een paar weken later die van onze ouwe poes Mixy. Lily waar we sinds februari volop mee zitten te sukkelen. Kittens die uitblijven, katers die niet dekken...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Helaas begint het nieuwe jaar op 7 januari al met twee dure operaties bij Lily en Aliki met nog 2 sterilisaties van Ush en Caitlin daarop volgend.&lt;br /&gt;Gelukkig waren er ook de intens gelukkige momenten met met allerschattigste kleindochter.&lt;br /&gt;Als die hier is dan kan je niet anders dan glimlachen. Het is onze allergrootste schat.&lt;br /&gt;Het is het fijn als je je stoere zoon ziet veranderen in een liefhebbende papa. Ik zou het het twee jaar geleden niet geloofd hebben. M'n schoondochter is een schatje en een schitterende mama voor ons kleindochtertje en m'n eigenste dochter, Anne-Marie....Ja, dat is m'n eeuwige steun en toeverlaat. Altijd daar om op de katjes te passen, naar de dierenarts te gaan en te luisteren naar me als ik weer eens in een dipje zit en helaas zijn er dat dit jaar heel veel geweest. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Blijdschap ook toen Patchwork toch 1 kitten kreeg maar wat voor één....Ons koninginnetje, Nanu steelt iedereens hartje. Lieve mensen in de kattewereld zoals Corry, Petra, Karolien en Marleen  deden m'n hartje goed.&lt;br /&gt;Gelukkig heb ik ook nieuwe mensen leren kennen. Zo ben ik tegenwoordig lid van het naaiclubje 'Het Leuvens Stiksel'. Ok, ik ben er wel de oudste van de hoop maar heb toch al een beetje aansluiting gevonden en er enkele leuke mensen leren kennen zoals Luce en Tilda.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;En nog steeds zijn er de trouwe dames van de Patch die nu al 20 jaar en meer samen met mij komen quilten, Lieve, Nicole, Nadia, Eliane, Hilde en Greet, Hilda, Ria, Lea en Francine. Dank je wel voor de leuke dagen op de "Patch".&lt;br /&gt;We breien dus maar weer aan een nieuw jaartje en hopelijk wordt het toch een tikje beter dat 2010.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Het ga jullie allemaal goed in 2011.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-1901778338293636657?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/1901778338293636657/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=1901778338293636657' title='3 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/1901778338293636657'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/1901778338293636657'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2010/12/dag-2010.html' title='Dag 2010'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TR5fVm8sGvI/AAAAAAAAJxA/JxV67yvypqM/s72-c/kerst010-6.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-3723713365467152230</id><published>2010-12-25T01:23:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-25T01:32:29.952-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kerstmis'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='christmas'/><title type='text'>Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TRW46yqzYlI/AAAAAAAAJw4/-1wgrzl1u2I/s1600/DSCN4793.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

Als jullie denken dat ik niks doe omdat ik niet blog dan is dat net andersom. Ik blogde de laatste tijd niet omdat ik zo druk bezig was met breien en haken en naaien dat ik geen tijd had voor een blogje.&lt;br /&gt;Ik heb eerder al over Susika verteld. Susika is een groep vriendinnen uit het kattenwereldje die jaarlijks 60 km lopen tegen borstkanker. Deze loop wordt georganiseerd door A Sisters Hope.&lt;br /&gt;Wil je meelopen dan moet je wel 1500 euro sponsering meebrengen per persoon.Om dat geld bij elkaar te krijgen heb ik de afgelopen maand gebreid en gehaakt en genaaid als gek.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TQC7EnRz1oI/AAAAAAAAJuE/6lR_DsNT0L8/s1600/DSCN4611.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548640428858005122" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TQC7EnRz1oI/AAAAAAAAJuE/6lR_DsNT0L8/s400/DSCN4611.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Het resultaat zijn 12 poezen portemonnaitjes en 24 Triana (naam van de breiwol) sjaals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TQC6tZkWdNI/AAAAAAAAJt0/eZ5FUEtsqZg/s1600/DSCN4660.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548640030040683730" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TQC6tZkWdNI/AAAAAAAAJt0/eZ5FUEtsqZg/s400/DSCN4660.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deze drie sjaals uit sokkenwol breide ik al eerder maar gaan ook naar Susika&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TQC6hXwD7LI/AAAAAAAAJts/s_tJRCbLkPI/s1600/DSCN4661.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548639823394499762" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TQC6hXwD7LI/AAAAAAAAJts/s_tJRCbLkPI/s400/DSCN4661.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Ook deze sjaals breide ik gedeeltelijk al eerder maar ondertussen zijn daar weer al 6 sjaals bijgekomen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TQC6BvaZA8I/AAAAAAAAJtk/gaCQcnePEPk/s1600/DSCN4658.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548639279990244290" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TQC6BvaZA8I/AAAAAAAAJtk/gaCQcnePEPk/s400/DSCN4658.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ook breide ik deze 7 'Gnocchi' sjaals en verder maakte ik ook nog 65 kattenspeelgoedjes gevuld met kattekruid en 25 zakdoeketuis. Dan  vond ik op het Stoffenspectakel ook nog hele leuke linnen stof. Daar heb ik nog een 7 tasjes mee gemaakt en van tafelzeil heb ik ook nog 2 gevoerde boodschappentassen gemaakt.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Helaas zijn daar geen foto's van. Vergeten...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tussendoor ben ik aan m'n vierde gehaakte plaid bezig...Ik word er moe van als ik dit allemaal op een rijtje zie staan.&lt;br /&gt;Al deze spullen gaan dit we dit weekend naar de grote kattenshow in Groningen toe waar ze verkocht zullen worden voor het goede doel nl de stichting ' A Sisters Hope'.&lt;br /&gt;Ons groepje Susika, heeft inmiddels ook een echte webwinkel en een website waar jullie ons op kunnen volgen en zien hoe het vordert met het inzamelen van het sponsorgeld. In de winkel vindt je oa heel leuke sieraden voor een heel aantrekkelijke prijs.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://susika.nl/"&gt;http://Susika.nl/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; Ik hoop dat jullie eens gaan kijken. Nu ga ik m'n haakpen, breinaalden en naaimachine eventjes opbergen want Kerst komt eraan en ik heb er nog niets voor gedaan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-8979932150517328676?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/8979932150517328676/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=8979932150517328676' title='2 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/8979932150517328676'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/8979932150517328676'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2010/12/susika.html' title='Susika'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TQC7PJIKT9I/AAAAAAAAJuM/pdtoKCQcNvc/s72-c/DSCN4633.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-7666575305923581974</id><published>2010-11-10T06:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-10T06:57:04.782-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cats'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='quilts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='creating'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='naaien'/><title type='text'>Een nieuwe quilt    a new quilt</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TNqxjbns4kI/AAAAAAAAJtU/QPeyDfNb040/s1600/DSCN3950.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537933914073260610" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TNqxjbns4kI/AAAAAAAAJtU/QPeyDfNb040/s400/DSCN3950.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Herinneren jullie zich dit stapeltje lapjes?&lt;br /&gt;Wel, deze lapjes zijn uiteindelijk terecht gekomen in deze quilt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;A pile of cat fabric made it in to this quilt.

En ja, er lopen er hier behoorlijk veel rond dus ze kan er niet langs kijken.Voor het ogenblik zijn het er weer 8 want de drie kittens die zijn net de deur uit.&lt;br /&gt;Ze speelt het liefste met het kattenspeelgoed en het katteneten en een van haar eerste woordjes was 'poe'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;From the time she was a very small girl my little granddaughter was crazy about our cats. She plays with the catfood and the cat toys and one of her first words was 'poe' .You must know that 'poes' is flemish for a female cat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TNhiA98KyrI/AAAAAAAAJsY/jTAG6BqYDEg/s1600/2010-07-17+109b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537283510618475186" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TNhiA98KyrI/AAAAAAAAJsY/jTAG6BqYDEg/s400/2010-07-17+109b.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Nu heeft ze sinds vorige week een bordje van Emma Bridgewater  gekregen waar ook poesjes op staan en de grote sport  is van zo snel mogelijk haar bordje leeg te eten zodat ze het poesje in het midden van het bordje kan zien. Ze heeft altijd grote pret wanneer dat gebeurd!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;She now eats from an Emma Bridgewater plate with kitty's on it and she enjoys eating from it a lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TNhgmAaW8xI/AAAAAAAAJsI/t--Uty_YQpc/s1600/DSCN4619.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537281947913876242" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TNhgmAaW8xI/AAAAAAAAJsI/t--Uty_YQpc/s400/DSCN4619.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Sinds deze week zegt ze op een allerschattigste manier 'poesjes' en dat doet ze dan ook wel honderd keer op een dag. Alle poesjes krijgen kusjes, ook de metalen deur openhouders in de vorm van een poes. Ik heb nu eenmaal poezen in alle soorten maten en materialen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Het kon dus niet langer dat dat arme schaap geen poezenrokje of jurkje had. Dus toen ons poezemieke haar middagdutje deed heeft oma haar kattenstofjes eens uitgehaald en in een half uur een rokje met poesjes gemaakt.&lt;br /&gt;Daar moest toen natuurlijk ook nog een T-Shirtje bij....Een uur en 9 euro later had het kind een volledige nieuwe outfit bestaande uit een rokje, een nieuw T-Shirtje en een nieuw paar broekkousen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TNhgdk-zKCI/AAAAAAAAJsA/8DhLX3FMsdw/s1600/DSCN4624.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537281803111573538" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TNhgdk-zKCI/AAAAAAAAJsA/8DhLX3FMsdw/s400/DSCN4624.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Since this week she can say 'poesjes=kitties' in the most adorable way and it was no longer possible that this little kitty girl had no skirt of dress with kitties on. So during naptime, granny took out her cat fabrics and created a little skirt and T-Shirt. For less then 10$ she had a totally new outfit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Nog even gedag zeggen aan de poesjes....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TNhgTOwY2VI/AAAAAAAAJr4/oKxv1E3FdI0/s1600/DSCN4631.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537281625346857298" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TNhgTOwY2VI/AAAAAAAAJr4/oKxv1E3FdI0/s400/DSCN4631.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-4931611458228928950?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/4931611458228928950/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=4931611458228928950' title='2 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/4931611458228928950'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/4931611458228928950'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2010/11/poezemieke-kitty-girl.html' title='Poezemieke      Kitty Girl'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TNhiXYUaYII/AAAAAAAAJsg/9a6CYnsF0RE/s72-c/290oktober2009+011.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-1476163320147250648</id><published>2010-10-19T00:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-19T01:11:27.877-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='halloween'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sewing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='naaien'/><title type='text'>Halloween</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TL1QBynXy9I/AAAAAAAAJrg/Be5CeKLxCWU/s1600/DSCN4578.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529663909177838546" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TL1QBynXy9I/AAAAAAAAJrg/Be5CeKLxCWU/s400/DSCN4578.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Het is niet omdat ik niet blog dat ik niets doe , nietwaar. Ik ben volop bezig aan oa een kinderquiltje. Maar dat kan ik hier moeilijk opzetten want dat is een kadootje voor iemand en dat moet een verrassing blijven voor die persoon. Verder heb ik al een tweede dekentje gehaakt en ben ik aan een derde en een vierde begonnen.&lt;br /&gt;Maar dit jurkje wil ik wel even laten zien. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Het stofje heb ik al meer dan een jaar in huis en nu was het de ideale moment om er een Halloween jurkje van te maken voor ons klein prinsesje.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;I have this fabric more then a year and now it was the season and the time to make a tiny Halloween dress for our little granddaughter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TL1Ogqhg_UI/AAAAAAAAJrQ/ASEAnWHOIR0/s1600/DSCN4579.JPG"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529662240558480706" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TL1Ogqhg_UI/AAAAAAAAJrQ/ASEAnWHOIR0/s400/DSCN4579.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Het is een supereenvoudig modelletje. Je knipt twee voorkantjes en 4 achterkantjes want de hele bovenkant van het jurkje is dubbel. De rok is een eenvoudige rechte strook.  Drie knoopjes vanachter en voor de fun een leuke oranje rick-rack voor aan de zoom.&lt;br /&gt;Kosten alles samen nog geen 10 euro en 2 uurtjes werk!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;This is a super easy dress. The bodice is fully doubled and the skirt is 1 long piece of fabric. Three little buttons in the back and a sweet orange rickrack on the bottom of the skirt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TL1OTpwccKI/AAAAAAAAJrI/7rXJc6UauR8/s1600/DSCN4586.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529662017014362274" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TL1OTpwccKI/AAAAAAAAJrI/7rXJc6UauR8/s400/DSCN4586.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Voor de warmte combineerden we dit jurkje met een zwart T shirt met lange mouwen en er was ook een zwarte maillot voorzien maar die was helaas veel te groot.  Voorlopig dus maar een witte legging eronder. Pop kreeg een bijpassend rokje en een truitje.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;We combined this dress with a black long sleeved T-shirt and we ordered black stockings but they where to big so here she wares it with a white legging.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Dollie got a matching skirt and sweater.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TL1OA22e-0I/AAAAAAAAJrA/HFVOgMJssa0/s1600/DSCN4601.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529661694111841090" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TL1OA22e-0I/AAAAAAAAJrA/HFVOgMJssa0/s400/DSCN4601.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wat kan je toch leuke dingen creëren met een minimum aan moeite en geld en kijk eens hoe schattig het haar staat!

Het is de quilt die ik maakte voor onze kleindochter toen ze geboren is.&lt;br /&gt;Ondertussen is onze kleine meid anderhalf jaar oud en stilaan ontwikkeld ze zich in een echt poppenmoedertje.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voor haar eerste verjaardag kreeg ze een pop van haar overgrootmoeder en van mij en m'n man kreeg ze een prachtige poppenwagen.Nu dat ze zeer goed kan lopen gebruikt ze de poppenwagen niet meer als loopwagen maar als een echte poppenwagen. Omdat ze steeds meer met de pop die ze Baby noemt ging spelen moest er dus voor een quiltje gemaakt worden voor de pop.&lt;br /&gt;Van de restjes stof van haar eigen quilt maakte ik deze kleinere versie van haar poppenquilt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Remember this quilt?? It is the one I made when my granddaughter was born. In the mean time the little lady is 18 months old and she is becoming a real doll's mommie. She has a doll she call's baby and for her first birthday she got this doll's pram from me and my husband. That called for a little quilt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;The quilt is made from the remnants of the big quilt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TLHArZ7_T6I/AAAAAAAAJnQ/ttFviPEIXUE/s1600/DSCN4110.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5526410069689716642" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TLHArZ7_T6I/AAAAAAAAJnQ/ttFviPEIXUE/s400/DSCN4110.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baby, haar pop wordt vakkundig toegedekt en dan in de poppenwagen 'gelegd'. Ik zet het even tussen aanhalingstekens want leggen is nog een groot woord voor haar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TLHAba0pAhI/AAAAAAAAJnI/CkKVQwLxLsM/s1600/DSCN4077.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5526409795049423378" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TLHAba0pAhI/AAAAAAAAJnI/CkKVQwLxLsM/s400/DSCN4077.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Natuurlijk moest er voor de poppenwagen nog een luiertas gemaakt worden want een jonge moeder heeft heel wat mee te nemen als ze gaat wandelen! Ook deze werd gemaakt van restjes van de grote quilt.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Of course she also needed a diaper bag because a young mum has a lot to take with her when she goes walking with the baby.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TLHAQcFmWsI/AAAAAAAAJnA/JOZtP0SSIbg/s1600/DSCN4075.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5526409606410427074" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TLHAQcFmWsI/AAAAAAAAJnA/JOZtP0SSIbg/s400/DSCN4075.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-8792862860733998630?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/8792862860733998630/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=8792862860733998630' title='5 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/8792862860733998630'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/8792862860733998630'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2010/10/poppemoedertje-doll-quilt.html' title='Poppemoedertje                    Doll quilt'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TLHBOB-f5II/AAAAAAAAJnY/PGAPf1K0lFE/s72-c/DSCN3750.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-7023266422240564736</id><published>2010-10-09T02:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-09T02:48:55.909-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='haken'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='crochet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='creating'/><title type='text'>Mijn dekentje   My blanket</title><content type='html'>&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525973110935236322" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TLAzRDunruI/AAAAAAAAJjY/Dj6NktC3wUw/s400/DSCN4554.JPG" /&gt;Mijn eerste gehaakte dekentje is helemaal klaar. Ik vind het leuk geworden qua kleuren. Alleen moet ik nog eventjes beter uitrekenen hoeveel steken ik aan de zijkant moet opnemen voor de boord want die lubbert helaas een beetje. Voor het ogenblik heb ik niet veel zin om het te corrigeren maar misschien doe ik dat later nog wel een keertje. Zo'n groot werk is dat nu ook weer niet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;My first blanket is finished and I am very pleased with it. I need to correct the border since it is a bit to big on two sights but I will do this later.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525973289797473906" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TLAzbeCs1nI/AAAAAAAAJjg/Y_1EdL3LoAw/s400/DSCN4553.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ondertussen ben ik al aan een tweede dekentje begonnen met de roze/rode en groene overschotten. Ik heb ook nog nieuwe wol besteld voor nog meer dekentjes te maken. Het zijn leuke kadootjes die weinig geld en moeite kosten en toch leuk presenteren.Verder vind ik haken van deze dekentjes een aangename bezigheid tijdens het tv kijken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;With the pink/red and green remnants I already started a second blanket. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;There is other wool on the way to make more blankets. I find it a nice thing to do watching television.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525974514604790498" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TLA0iwzhUuI/AAAAAAAAJjo/8Wy0xqAFQYQ/s400/DSCN4562.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-7023266422240564736?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/7023266422240564736/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=7023266422240564736' title='1 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/7023266422240564736'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/7023266422240564736'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2010/10/mijn-dekentje-my-blanket.html' title='Mijn dekentje   My blanket'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TLAzRDunruI/AAAAAAAAJjY/Dj6NktC3wUw/s72-c/DSCN4554.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-5257363721106867933</id><published>2010-10-02T01:13:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-02T02:31:56.069-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emma Bridgewater'/><title type='text'>Emma Bridgewater</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;Rond de jaren 90 ontdekte ik in een nieuw winkeltje in Leuven dit servies. Het bleek van Emma Bridgewater te zijn en het heette Farmyard. Ik weet niet wat me zo aantrok in dit servies maar met de beperkte middelen die ik toen had kocht ik af en toe een stukje.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523361226092948210" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TKbrxWdvqvI/AAAAAAAAJis/rwEjUvvttps/s400/ring+tamara+035.jpg" /&gt;Op een zeker ogenblik zei m'n zoon dat hij dit wel heel leuk vond en toen ben ik een volledige set beginnen verzamelen. Dat bleek niet gemakkelijk te zijn want na een paar jaar was het winkeltje failliet gegaan en ik kon het servies nergens meer vinden. Ik nam toen contact op met de winkel in London en die hebben me toen verwezen naar de invoerder en zo naar een winkel in Knokke.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;In the nineties I found this Emma Bridgewater pottery in a small shop in Leuven( Belgium). But after a few years the shop had gone bust and I could not find any more Emma Bridgewater pottery in Belgium. I contacted the shop in London and they gave me the number of a shop in Knokke.&lt;br /&gt;This was a difficult situation for me since I don't drive and this shop was at the coast and we live in the middle of Belgium. Everything had to be ordered in advance and I could never just walk in an buy what I liked. So once in a while we ordered something and then went for a weekend to the coast just to collect my Emma Bridgewater.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ondertussen was ik voor m'n dochter hun nieuwe servies gaan verzamelen nl het zwart witte Toast and Marmelade. Dat bleek een goede keuze te zijn want na meer dan 10 jaar op de markt wordt dit motief nog steeds gemaakt. Ook vind m'n docher het nog steeds een mooi servies in tegenstelling tot m'n zoon die niets meer zag in het Farmyard servies.&lt;br /&gt;Als herinnering aan het Millenium bestelde ik voor beide kinderen een taartschotel met hun naam op en Nieuwjaar 2000.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Later in the nineties I began to collect a new design for my daughter.It was the black and white Toast and Marmelade design. This was a good decision since my daughter still likes the design and after more then 10 years on the market it is still produced.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;For the Millenium I orderd two cakeplates for my children with there name and the date on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523360321064755570" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TKbq8q-NYXI/AAAAAAAAJiU/GRKPAqphWa4/s400/DSCN4463.JPG" /&gt;Omdat m'n zoon het Farmyard servies niet meer leuk vond besloot ik het te gaan verkopen op Ebay.Ik kwam daar een Nederlandse verzamelaarster tegen die het ganse servies toen van me kocht.De dag dat ze het kwam halen was ik toch wel verdrietig dat ik het wegdeed want ik vond het nog steeds erg charmant.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Because of the fact that my son did not like the Farmyard pottery anymore I decided to sell in on Ebay. A Dutch collector bought the whole set from me and when I took the last pictures of the pottery I felt a bit sad since I still liked this design. It had so much charm.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Omdat ik zoveel moeite had om te verzamelen en omdat mijn sets eigenlijk zo goed als compleet waren en ook m'n dochter geen aanstalte maakte om haar set te gaan gebruiken ben ik gestopt met het kopen van Emma Bridgewater. Ik merk dat goed aan de catalogen die ik heb. Na 1999 heb ik zeker 5 jaar geen informatie meer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Because collecting Emma Bridgewater was so difficult for me and also because my sets where complete and not used I stopped buying Emma Bridgewater pottery for about 5 years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523360665553541570" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TKbrQuSvGcI/AAAAAAAAJic/yJszJ2--ZuY/s400/DSCN4385.JPG" /&gt;Af en toe kocht ik nog eens iets speciaals als ik het zag en vond. En om een herinnering aan het Farmyard servies te hebben kocht ik enkele nieuwe stukken ervan. Inmiddels had ik m'n eigen laptop en had ik Ebay ontdekt en daar kocht ik meestal mijn EB.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;After a time I discovered Ebay and once in a while I bought some small items. I wanted to have a memory of the Farmyard set and once again bought some small items of the design.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523360915977888146" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TKbrfTMjYZI/AAAAAAAAJik/5cJNljWb2xA/s400/DSCN4388.JPG" /&gt;Met veel op het internet en Ebay te zitten ontdekte ik ook de online winkel van Emma Bridgewater en toen het Summertime Tulips design uitkwam was ik gelijk weer verkocht en verzamelde in een paar jaar  tijd een 8 persoons set.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;I was a lot on the internet by then and discovered the online store of Emma Bridgewater and Ebay.When the Summertime tulips came on the market I was sold again and in a few years I collected a dinnerset for 8.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523361573020810706" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TKbsFi3yvdI/AAAAAAAAJi0/TEzPf0NV_SE/s400/4april2010+003.jpg" /&gt;Sinds een paar weken ben ik weer helemaal verslaafd. Vanop Marktplaats kocht ik deze prachtige kip op nest in een oud design maar helaas was de schaal gebroken toen ze toekwam.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;From a Dutch market site I bought this hen on a nest last week. I was so pleased with it but when I unpacked it I discovered that the nest was broken.What a disappointment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523362083504922226" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TKbsjQksHnI/AAAAAAAAJi8/g80VYhWFC5U/s400/DSCN4505.JPG" /&gt;Vorige week heb ik toen een grote aankoop bij Emma Bridgewater gedaan.Die bestelling kwam gisteren toe in twee grote rode dozen. De katten vonden die dozen heel plezierig.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Then I ordered from Emma Bridgewater an whole lot. It arrived in 2 big red boxes and the cats found them quite amusing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TKbqdL7wWqI/AAAAAAAAJh8/jgGnBUjfcRE/s1600/DSCN4515.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523359780157020834" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TKbqdL7wWqI/AAAAAAAAJh8/jgGnBUjfcRE/s400/DSCN4515.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; De auricula set.

Vorige zaterdag toen mijnheer met z'n voeten weer eens onder een restauranttafel zat heb ik deze eenvoudige maaltijd gemaakt voor mezelf. Op 10 minuten zat ik aan tafel.&lt;br /&gt;Ik nam een wortel, een blokje knolselder en één steel van een groene selder en een klein uitje. Deze werden geschilt, gewassen en in fijne blokjes gesneden.Even aanbakken in een beetje olie en dan een half blik van de linzen erbij.Als kruiden gebruikte ik zout, zwarte peper, een klein beetje currypoeder en wat komijn. In een apart pannetje bakte ik een mooi stukje kabeljauw filet. De volgende keer denk ik dat ik de vis zal pocheren. Het was een heel kruidig, hartig gerechtje dat ik zeker nog zal maken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;A simple dish made of brown cooked lentils, some diced carrots,celery root and green celery and onion spiced with black pepper, salt, curry powder and some cumin powder. In another pan I cooked a piece of cod.It was a quick and harty meal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TKGyUqkXzDI/AAAAAAAAJhQ/bEOYQELQG7M/s1600/DSCN4509.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521890686226910258" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TKGyUqkXzDI/AAAAAAAAJhQ/bEOYQELQG7M/s400/DSCN4509.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-2570846618580490097?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/2570846618580490097/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=2570846618580490097' title='1 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/2570846618580490097'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/2570846618580490097'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2010/09/snelle-maaltijd-quick-meal.html' title='Snelle maaltijd       A quick meal'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TKGynmIJd6I/AAAAAAAAJhY/oY1CxPFsjTE/s72-c/DSCN4508.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-2912963394185155557</id><published>2010-09-17T06:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-17T06:19:41.133-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><title type='text'>Update</title><content type='html'>Even een update over de verschillende dingen waar ik mee bezig ben.&lt;br /&gt;Nanu heeft haar eerste wedstrijd gedaan en werd als beste poesje van 7 uitgekozen.We zijn natuurlijk zo fier als een gieter!&lt;br /&gt;Helaas vergat m'n slimme dochter een foto te maken van onze prinses in haar kooi. Dat maken we volgende week goed als ze naar de show in Genk komt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De gehaakte deken vordert gestaag. Ik heb nu reeds 2 x alle 17 kleurtjes gebruikt. Het wordt al een leuk formaat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De zakdoeketui's zijn zo goed als uitverkocht en mede door deze aktie zijn de dames nu in het bezit van voldoende sponsorgeld om te mogen gaan lopen. Iedereen die gesteund heeft, heel erg bedankt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Verder nieuws is dat er de voorbije veertien dagen geverfd is in de slaapkamer. We hebben ook nieuwe vloerbekleding gekocht en nieuwe meubeltjes. Dat bracht allemaal veel verhuiswerk en veel rommel mee en dat is nog steeds allemaal niet terug in orde mede ook al door het feit dat ik terug begonnen ben met de patchworkgroepen en dat ik inmiddels ook ziek ben....&lt;br /&gt;Wat begonnen is met een verkoudheid is in 24 h tijds gezakt naar m'n longen en ik ben ook m'n stem zo goed als kwijt.....We hopen op een snelle beterschap want er ligt nog massa's werk te wachten.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-2912963394185155557?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/2912963394185155557/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=2912963394185155557' title='1 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/2912963394185155557'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/2912963394185155557'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2010/09/update.html' title='Update'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-926769092211403498</id><published>2010-09-10T02:40:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-10T03:06:19.817-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='haken'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='crochet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='creating'/><title type='text'>Oma streepjes    Granny stripes</title><content type='html'>Vorige weekend was ik wat aan het rondsnuffelen op een paar creatieve blogs en op een Engels blog kwam ik vrolijk gehaakte dekens tegen. Het soort dat in de jaren 70/ 80 populair waren. Lisa van Attic 24 &lt;a href="http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/crochet/"&gt;http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/crochet/&lt;/a&gt; is er helemaal weg van en daar zag ik de Oma Streepjes deken ( Granny Stripe). Blijkbaar is daar nu een revival van want je komt ze met de tientallen tegen op allerlei blogs. En ja, ik was weer verleid door al die leuke kleurtjes....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TIn9124bVMI/AAAAAAAAJhA/8xv11Ro4NXc/s1600/DSCN4438.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515218320398963906" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TIn9124bVMI/AAAAAAAAJhA/8xv11Ro4NXc/s400/DSCN4438.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Met 1 druk op de knop kon ik het totaal pakket van deze breiwol kon bestellen en ja voor ik het wist had ik op het knopje gedrukt....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;I was quite charmed with the old style granny stripe blankets I see on creative blogs. On 1 blog I could buy the entire packet for a granny stripe blanket and before I knew, I had pushed the to buy button.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TIn9lv5YkAI/AAAAAAAAJg4/DJDshvkAPVo/s1600/DSCN4436.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515218043646021634" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TIn9lv5YkAI/AAAAAAAAJg4/DJDshvkAPVo/s400/DSCN4436.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Gisteren zat de wol al in de brievenbus en terwijl de verver de laatste hand legde aan het verven van de slaapkamer ben ik gelijk aan de slag gegaan met de haakpen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Je zet 240 lossen op en doet dan een rij vasten.&lt;br /&gt;Dan draai je het werk en haakt drie lossen en dan haak je in de eerste steek 1 stokje.Je haakt 2 lossen, slaat 2 steken over en dan haak je 3 stokjes. Dan weer 2 lossen, 2 steken overslaan en weer 3 stokjes. Je eindigt met 2 lossen en 2 stokjes.&lt;br /&gt;Dan draai je het werk en in elk bekomen gaatje doe je nu 3 stokjes, 2 lossen,2 steken overslaan enz enz....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Na 2 rijen van elke kleur kies je een nieuw kleurtje.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Yesterday I croched a lot but I'm afraid this won't last...Next weekend and next week will be very busy. We are renovating our bedroom. The painter has finished with his job and the furniture just arrived. So we will be busy finishing the room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TIn9UTIxMbI/AAAAAAAAJgw/OM96iDF2diM/s1600/DSCN4439.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515217743868146098" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TIn9UTIxMbI/AAAAAAAAJgw/OM96iDF2diM/s400/DSCN4439.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Ik heb vreselijk veel gehaakt gisteren maar ik vrees dat het de volgende dagen niet zo snel meer zal vooruit gaan. Het volgende weekend en de volgende week zullen heel erg druk zijn. De verver is klaar en de nieuwe slaapkamer meubelen zijn geleverd dus dit weekend zal er flink geklust moeten worden. Maar ik ga vast elke avond eventje een uurtje of zo verder haken want het is een leuk werkje aan de tv. Wordt vervolgd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-926769092211403498?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/926769092211403498/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=926769092211403498' title='2 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/926769092211403498'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/926769092211403498'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2010/09/oma-streepjes-granny-stripes.html' title='Oma streepjes    Granny stripes'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TIn9124bVMI/AAAAAAAAJhA/8xv11Ro4NXc/s72-c/DSCN4438.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-5293286615978018028</id><published>2010-09-04T01:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-04T02:19:01.678-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sewing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cats'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Maine Coons'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='naaien'/><title type='text'>Voor Nanu    For Nanu</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TIIKLoEPSGI/AAAAAAAAJgY/Ptt8TQiF2Fo/s1600/DSC_4835.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512980088704944226" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TIIKLoEPSGI/AAAAAAAAJgY/Ptt8TQiF2Fo/s400/DSC_4835.jpeg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Dat Nanu een heel bijzonder poesje is voor mij, is voor diegenen die me kennen al wel duidelijk. Ik heb haar dan ook helemaal met de fles opgevoed daar moeder Patchwork geen zin had in het moederschap en ook geen melk had.&lt;br /&gt;Nanu is nu verhuisd naar een cattery in Nederland waar ze het ontzettend naar haar zin heeft. Omdat ze volgende week voor het eerst op show gaat heb ik iets bijzonder voor haar gemaakt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Our kitten Nanu is very special for me since I raised her with the bottle.

Twee vriendinnen van me uit de kattenwereld willen graag in oktober de 2 x 30 km lopen in de strijd tegen borstkanker. Ze doen dat met de organisatie van A Sisters Hope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.asistershope.nl/content/hometwo.htm"&gt;http://www.asistershope.nl/content/hometwo.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deze twee vriendinnen hebben zich team Susika genoemd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.susika.nl/"&gt;http://www.susika.nl/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hun logo is een zwarte kat die het roze lintje van de strijd tegen borstkanker draagt.&lt;br /&gt;Ik heb hun logo eventjes 'geleend' en er bij Spoonflower stof van laten maken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;I made these tissue holders for two friends of mine who are running against breastcancer in October.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TH38doAJa7I/AAAAAAAAJfo/XTbPrR18ZsE/s1600/DSCN4361.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511839104855796658" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TH38doAJa7I/AAAAAAAAJfo/XTbPrR18ZsE/s400/DSCN4361.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Daarvan maakte ik 50 zakdoeketui's die ik ten bate van hun team verkoop aan 5 euro per stuk. Van elke 5 euro gaat er 4 euro naar hun sponseraktie. Je moet immers 1500 euro per persoon meebrengen anders mag je niet gaan lopen.&lt;br /&gt;Wil je deze geweldige aktie tegen borstkanker steunen dan mag je me mailen voor m'n adres. Na ontvangst van 5 euro  zal ik je dan zo'n etui toesturen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;These ladies need 1500 euro of sponsor money to be able to run against breastcancer and I am selling these to help them get on the starting line.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TH38R-twstI/AAAAAAAAJfg/-epVMkxAf4s/s1600/DSCN4359.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511838904794264274" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TH38R-twstI/AAAAAAAAJfg/-epVMkxAf4s/s400/DSCN4359.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-2410203382257084619?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/2410203382257084619/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=2410203382257084619' title='1 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/2410203382257084619'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/2410203382257084619'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2010/09/sisters-hope.html' title='A sisters hope'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TH38p80Pf_I/AAAAAAAAJfw/xivsyaE0I4s/s72-c/DSCN4360.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-4544267001553831721</id><published>2010-08-26T00:21:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-26T00:42:12.481-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sewing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='naaien'/><title type='text'>Waszak              Wash bag</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/THYWpQNx_uI/AAAAAAAAJfQ/XzHPXLnUku0/s1600/DSCN4309.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509616092117597922" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/THYWpQNx_uI/AAAAAAAAJfQ/XzHPXLnUku0/s400/DSCN4309.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;In juni maakte ik deze leuke waszak. Hij is erg groot nl ongeveer 60 cm hoog en 40 cm breed.&lt;br /&gt;Dat is natuurlijk ook wel nodig wil je er wat kleertjes in krijgen.&lt;br /&gt;De kop van de aap zit met velcro vast aan de zak zo kan je de zak makkelijker wassen en de staart is tussen de naad uitgestikt.&lt;br /&gt;Het lijf is geapplikeerd.&lt;br /&gt;De zak is volledig gevoerd met een bijpassend stofje. Ik gebruikte een blauw met wit ruitjes stof uit dezelfde collectie.&lt;br /&gt;Middenvoor is een grote split waarlangs je de kleertjes in de zak steekt.&lt;br /&gt;Uiteraard is de zak ook geschikt om speelgoed in te steken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;In june I made this fun wash bag. He is rather big. About 24inches by 16 inches.But a good size if you actually want to put some washing in.&lt;br /&gt;The head of the monkey is fixed with some velcro.The tail sits betweend the seam and the body is appliqued. In the middle of the bag is a big split.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;You could use this bag also to store toys in.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/THYWic6kzhI/AAAAAAAAJfI/TuensZEZlLQ/s1600/DSCN4328.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509615975267618322" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/THYWic6kzhI/AAAAAAAAJfI/TuensZEZlLQ/s400/DSCN4328.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ik vond dit leuke patroon in dit boek van Amy Butler. Er staan heel wat originele patronen in voor kinderen en voor de kinderkamer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;The monkey wash bag came out of this Amy Butler book.There are lots of fun children's project in the book&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/THYWafXB9hI/AAAAAAAAJfA/OVualeIOnbY/s1600/DSCN4329.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509615838484887058" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/THYWafXB9hI/AAAAAAAAJfA/OVualeIOnbY/s400/DSCN4329.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Op de onderstaande foto kan je nog meer details zien van de kop van de aap. Niks belet jullie om dit met een andere dier te doen. Ik kan me bv wel een koala voorstellen die aan de zijkant van de zak omhoog klimt. Of je applikeerd op de basis zak een totaal ander figuurtje. Maar de aap die vanonder aan de zak bengelt is natuurlijk wel erg leuk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/THYWLIjh15I/AAAAAAAAJe4/p3VwxKxuf0A/s1600/DSCN4310.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509615574665254802" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/THYWLIjh15I/AAAAAAAAJe4/p3VwxKxuf0A/s400/DSCN4310.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wees creatief en laat U inspireren en maak er iets origineel van!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Be creative and have some fun making something original.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-4544267001553831721?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/4544267001553831721/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=4544267001553831721' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/4544267001553831721'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/4544267001553831721'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2010/08/waszak-wash-bag.html' title='Waszak              Wash bag'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/THYWpQNx_uI/AAAAAAAAJfQ/XzHPXLnUku0/s72-c/DSCN4309.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-2123747341514230987</id><published>2010-08-20T13:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-21T12:39:55.433-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cupcakes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='koken'/><title type='text'>Een leuke cake   A fun cake</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/THAoDUDf11I/AAAAAAAAJeo/aszaB7WGEi8/s1600/DSCN4280.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507946381662213970" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/THAoDUDf11I/AAAAAAAAJeo/aszaB7WGEi8/s400/DSCN4280.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Vorige donderdag kreeg ik de gelegenheid een cake te maken die al lang op m'n verlanglijstje stond. Als liefhebber van katten en fokker van Maine Coons is dat vanzelfsprekend als je het plaatje ziet.&lt;br /&gt;Het is niet zo'n heel moeilijke cake om te maken en dus best geschikt voor iets of wat behendige beginnende bakkers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Last Thursday I got the chance to make a lovely cake that was on my wish list to make.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/THAn03QHIKI/AAAAAAAAJeg/149tgz9opyI/s1600/DSCN4282.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507946133412323490" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/THAn03QHIKI/AAAAAAAAJeg/149tgz9opyI/s400/DSCN4282.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Ik begon met een ronde biscuit te bakken van zo'n 20 cm doorsnede en 10 cm hoog. Deze cake werd dan gevuld met een goede frambozen jam en boterroom met lemoncurd in.&lt;br /&gt;De boterroom kleurde ik roze zodat hij niet zichtbaar zou zijn in de ruimtes tussen de wollen draden van suikerpasta.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Het poesje had ik al een paar dagen ervoor geboetseerd zodat het wat kon uitdrogen en kon opstijven. Heel belangrijk bv voor het rechtop kunnen zetten van de staart.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;The cake was filled with a good raspberry jam and lemoncurd buttercream.I made the cat a few days earlier so that the sugarpaste could dry out a little.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/THAninEEvzI/AAAAAAAAJeY/DpX3-rm1lLw/s1600/DSCN4283.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507945819829223218" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/THAninEEvzI/AAAAAAAAJeY/DpX3-rm1lLw/s400/DSCN4283.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Toen begon de grote job van het bekleden van de cake met allemaal rolletjes suikerpasta. Het koste me toch snel 2 h werk.&lt;br /&gt;Maar uiteindelijk kwam de bol wol tot stand. De klant was heel tevreden en dat was het belangrijkste.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;After two hours of rolling strands of wool the cake took shape. The client was very pleased with it and that is the main thing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-2123747341514230987?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/2123747341514230987/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=2123747341514230987' title='2 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/2123747341514230987'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/2123747341514230987'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2010/08/een-leuke-cake-fun-cake.html' title='Een leuke cake   A fun cake'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/THAoDUDf11I/AAAAAAAAJeo/aszaB7WGEi8/s72-c/DSCN4280.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-8662293967027686214</id><published>2010-08-18T10:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-18T10:58:08.605-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='quilts'/><title type='text'>1 quilt klaar, 2 te gaan 1 quilt finished, 2 to go</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TGwdv-wQOTI/AAAAAAAAJeI/cWY6nUsfx_Y/s1600/DSCN4249.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506809154503719218" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TGwdv-wQOTI/AAAAAAAAJeI/cWY6nUsfx_Y/s400/DSCN4249.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Het quiltje voor de collega van m'n man is klaar.

In Amerika noemen ze dit een kussensloop jurkje. In de periode van de beurscrash in de jaren dertig waren de mensen zo arm dat ze geen geld hadden voor stof te kopen voor jurkjes. Dus werden kussenslopen gebruikt.&lt;br /&gt;Je had al een zoom ( open zijde van de sloop) en ook de zijkanten waren al gestikt. Je knipte de bovenkant open en daarna knipte je twee armsgaten aan de zijkanten&lt;br /&gt;Je moest dan alleen de armsgaten afwerken, vanboven een tunnetje stikken. Daar reeg je  een lint door of een koordje en klaar was de jurk.&lt;br /&gt;Eenvoudige en economische kon niet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;The most easy dress ever to make, the pillowcase dress.

Mijn jurkje is een iets gesoficiteerder versie van dit basis model. Het is iets uitgeschuind naar beneden toe en er is een boord contrasterende stof aangezet. Je maakt het zelfs in dit geval in minder dan 1 h.&lt;br /&gt;Ik kocht dit jurkje geknipt maar niet genaaid op Etsy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Th&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;is drawing shows the principle of the dress. Our dress is a bit more sofiticated with a contrasting border and the bottem is a bit wider then the top. You can sew this little dress together in less then 1 hour. I bought the dress already cut but not sewn on Ebay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TGZhmliocEI/AAAAAAAAJdg/mI4N8tGKTKo/s1600/DSCN4237.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505194910047301698" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TGZhmliocEI/AAAAAAAAJdg/mI4N8tGKTKo/s400/DSCN4237.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-924396056141634454?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/924396056141634454/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=924396056141634454' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/924396056141634454'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/924396056141634454'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2010/08/nog-een-jurkje-another-little-dress.html' title='Nog een jurkje  Another little dress'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TGZh84xWvsI/AAAAAAAAJdw/95rjesyQcsk/s72-c/DSCN4229.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-3405113885011867108</id><published>2010-08-13T15:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-13T15:24:34.734-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cats'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='quilts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Maine Coons'/><title type='text'>Het laatste nieuws   The latest news</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TGXCulebvEI/AAAAAAAAJdY/BWERD5jORg8/s1600/14Feb2010166.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505020225119829058" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TGXCulebvEI/AAAAAAAAJdY/BWERD5jORg8/s400/14Feb2010166.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Niet te geloven dat het al weer 14 dagen geleden is dat ik een blogje schreef en ik was zo goed bezig. Maar ik heb het erg druk gehad en er is veel gebeurd.&lt;br /&gt;Ons katertje Polar Bear is weer terug bij ons komen wonen. Het klikte niet tussen hem en zijn eigenaar....

Toen ik de geboortelijst aan het bekijken was om een kadootje te kiezen viel me het auto thema op.&lt;br /&gt;Mijn gedachten gingen gelijk uit naar de auto stoffen die ik heel recent had gekocht. Ze hadden exact de kleuren van de spulletjes die de ouders hadden uitgezocht, nl groene tinten en rode autootjes . Ik wist dadelijk, ik hoef geen kadootje te kopen ik kan veel beter zelf iets maken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Last week a baby boy was born at my husbands workplace and when I saw the stuff the parents had picked out I remembered these fabrics I bougth recently. I knew I had to make a gift instead of buying one.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TErQRFC8bGI/AAAAAAAAJbg/V8tdTUDPEN0/s1600/DSCN3991.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497435286989991010" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TErQRFC8bGI/AAAAAAAAJbg/V8tdTUDPEN0/s400/DSCN3991.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ik zocht een eenvoudig patroontje dat de stof zoveel mogelijk gans liet zodat er nog iets van de autootjes te zien was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;I picked out a very simple pattern that would not cut up all the little cars.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TErQGM6-WyI/AAAAAAAAJbY/s7rjXfqlul4/s1600/DSCN3990.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497435100125485858" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TErQGM6-WyI/AAAAAAAAJbY/s7rjXfqlul4/s400/DSCN3990.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; In één namiddagje was alles geknipt en kon ik met het naaien beginnen. Het naaien gaat ook heel vlot vooruit.

Vrijdag had ze ons al de indicatie gegeven dat haar tijd daar was maar na een uur of drie gewaakt te hebben bij haar heeft ze de bevalling opgehouden en is terug in haar dagelijkse routine gevallen.Wij waren niet zo blij met dat uitstel want zaterdag verwachtten we drie Nederlandse Maine Coon liefhebbers,waaronder de nieuwe eigenaar van onze Nanu. Zij kwamen Nanu nog eens knuffelen.&lt;br /&gt;Maar Caitlin besliste dus om voor die dag nog voor een tweede attractie te zorgen.&lt;br /&gt;S'morgens om half zeven begon ze hartstochtelijk te roepen naar mij. Ik ben in m'n kleren gesprongen en ben naar haar toe gegaan. Ik zag dat ze haar vruchtwater verloren was en gelijk sprong ze ook in de kraamkist. Eens dat ik er was wilde ze er wel aan beginnen.Om kwart voor 8 begon ze te persen wat na een kwartiertje resulteerde in een prachtige grote dikke witte kater.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TELynVHjAGI/AAAAAAAAJZw/wiXWP-WL2LQ/s1600/2010-07-17+137.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495221252843044962" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TELynVHjAGI/AAAAAAAAJZw/wiXWP-WL2LQ/s400/2010-07-17+137.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Nauwelijk een kwartiertje later gevolgd door een blauw torbie poesje. Tegen dat zij geboren was was m'n dochter ook gearriveerd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TELyT4RIrhI/AAAAAAAAJZo/Oztbwt16qO0/s1600/2010-07-17+166.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495220918681120274" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TELyT4RIrhI/AAAAAAAAJZo/Oztbwt16qO0/s400/2010-07-17+166.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Een half uurtje later werd kitten nummer drie geboren. Het was weer een blauw torbie poesje.&lt;br /&gt;En toen was het gedaan. Wij waren een beetje geschrokken dat het bij drie bleef want Caitlin was behoorlijk zwaar geworden. Maar het is bij deze drie gebleven.&lt;br /&gt;Het zijn prachtige typevolle Maine Coontjes. Hoog op de poten, lange staart, zware oorpluimpjes en goede forse bekjes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Op de naampjes zullen jullie voorlopig moeten wachten want we geraken er maar niet uit.&lt;br /&gt;Caitlin is een zeer relaxe moeder die haar kleintjes goed verzorgd maar hun ook rustig alleen laat. Andere poezen mogen ook op bezoek maar stiefpapa Ush die wordt weggejaagd.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Op de foto's zijn ze zo'n 6 h oud!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We gaan er dus weer voor om deze drie prachtige babies gezond te doen opgroeien!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-8368300883071837143?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/8368300883071837143/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=8368300883071837143' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/8368300883071837143'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/8368300883071837143'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2010/07/caitlins-trio.html' title='Caitlin&apos;s Trio'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TELzLK2woDI/AAAAAAAAJZ4/z6YUG-513Cc/s72-c/2010-07-17+141.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-1545304240321688457</id><published>2010-07-15T07:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-30T07:08:40.061-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='creating'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='naaien'/><title type='text'>Crea Oma  Creative Granny</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TD8bVEZVq3I/AAAAAAAAJZg/i0zmN5b-q5s/s1600/DSCN3964.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494140119186516850" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TD8bVEZVq3I/AAAAAAAAJZg/i0zmN5b-q5s/s400/DSCN3964.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;When at last you are a grandma and you have hundreds of yards of fabric in the house you are expected to make some sweet little dresses.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Now that Anne-Fleur is more then one and it is high summer, I was time I purchased a pattern on Etsy to make this easy and adorable little dress for her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Als je dan eindelijk oma bent van een schattige kleindochter en je hebt honderden meters stof in huis , de ene lap al leuker dan de andere, dan droom je er natuurlijk van om daar eens een schattig jurkje van te maken voor die kleine schat.&lt;br /&gt;Dus bestelde ik bij Etsy een PDF patroon van een leuk en eenvoudig jurkje.&lt;br /&gt;Ik mag dan al een heel bekwame quiltster zijn mijn kleding naaikunsten beperken zich tot de allereenvoudigste dingen.&lt;br /&gt;Dit jurkje bestaat uit 4 delen en er komen geen knoopsgaten of ritsen aan te pas.&lt;br /&gt;Met een halve meter stof van 90 cm breed en een kwart metertje voor de mouwen kwam ik toe om alles te knippen voor de maat 1 jaar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TD8bKp6r5vI/AAAAAAAAJZY/7MtOTZ9zGVo/s1600/DSCN3965.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494139940279936754" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TD8bKp6r5vI/AAAAAAAAJZY/7MtOTZ9zGVo/s400/DSCN3965.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Met de hand naaide ik er een versiering van een paddestoel op. Die was geinspireerd op de paddestoelen op het stofje. Dan naai je de zijnaden dicht en je stikt ook de mouwtjes in het jurkje. Allemaal super eenvoudig.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;You only need 4 pieces of fabric and a bit of elastic to create this little gnomes dress.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TD8a7Pc08XI/AAAAAAAAJZQ/GqEpwV3RzLM/s1600/DSCN3966.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494139675477340530" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TD8a7Pc08XI/AAAAAAAAJZQ/GqEpwV3RzLM/s400/DSCN3966.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Als laatste naai je kleine zoompje in de onderkant van de mouwtjes en de hals en je maakt een zoom. Door de zoompjes van de mouwtjes en de hals trek je een elastiekje en voila mijn eerste jurkje was in minder dan 2 h klaar. Alleen jammer dat ik geen lockmachine heb om het nog mooier af te werken aan de binnenkant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TD8aXM1miQI/AAAAAAAAJZI/uabaqY7INFg/s1600/DSCN3969.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494139056300656898" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TD8aXM1miQI/AAAAAAAAJZI/uabaqY7INFg/s400/DSCN3969.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Nog even wachten tot de kleine meid langs komt om het te passen en dat maar hopen dat het leuk staat want m'n handen jeuken om nog meer jurkjes te maken.Ik heb immers nog dozen vol leuke stofjes liggen en ze zijn zo snel groot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TD8aHf0kOMI/AAAAAAAAJZA/-XedIqakg8w/s1600/DSCN3972.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494138786518677698" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TD8aHf0kOMI/AAAAAAAAJZA/-XedIqakg8w/s400/DSCN3972.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-1545304240321688457?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/1545304240321688457/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=1545304240321688457' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/1545304240321688457'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/1545304240321688457'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2010/07/crea-oma.html' title='Crea Oma  Creative Granny'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TD8bVEZVq3I/AAAAAAAAJZg/i0zmN5b-q5s/s72-c/DSCN3964.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-6700911389065332282</id><published>2010-07-14T04:04:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-18T06:02:52.635-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='katten'/><title type='text'>We wachten   We wait</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Once again we are playing the waiting game. Caitlin, our white Maine Coon lady is pregnant and we are waiting for her kittens. That means that we don't leave the house anymore for more then half an hour. The cat room is ready. The other cat's don't understand why they may no longer go to their room.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;It will be Caitlin's last litter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We spelen weer het "wachten" spelletje. Onze witte Maine Coon dame verwacht elke dag kittens en dus staan we weer paraat om haar te helpen indien nodig. Het zal haar laatste nestje worden want op Halloween wordt Caitlin 7 jaar en dat is een mooie leeftijd voor een poes om op pensioen te gaan. Dat betekend oa dat ik het huis niet meer verlaat tenzij ik maximum een half uur weg moet zijn en dat ik ook s'nachts weer om de paar uur ga kijken of ze niet begonnen is met de bevalling.&lt;br /&gt;Alle spulletjes die we nodig hebben voor een perfecte bevalling staan klaar. Haar kraamkist staat gedekt met zachte absorberende doeken, de weegschaal om de kittens te wegen staat op z'n plaats. Ook een notabord waar we geboorte uur en gewicht en geslacht kunnen noteren met een balpen die schrijft, een keukenrol, een ontsmette schaar voor het doorknippen van de navelstreng, het telefoonnummer van de dierenarts en nog enkele andere dingen, het is allemaal klaar voor het heuglijke moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TD2aefobXPI/AAAAAAAAJY4/InERNLocWdc/s1600/25+juni+07+062.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493716969139690738" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TD2aefobXPI/AAAAAAAAJY4/InERNLocWdc/s400/25+juni+07+062.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Onze dame is de laatste tijd heel erg snel gestressed en kan niet veel verdragen van de andere katten. Bij haar vorige kittens was ze voor het eerst, ontzettend beschermend ten opzichte van hun en o wee de kat, die te kort in haar buurt of die van haar kittens kwam. Die kreeg meteen de volle laag en werd krijsend en vechtend de deur gewezen. Ik vrees een beetje dat het weer van dat zal zijn gezien ze zich nu al zo chagrijnig gedraagd.&lt;br /&gt;Maar op zich is dat is allemaal geen probleem, het zorgt alleen voor extra stress in onze kattenfamilie, maar uiteindelijk komt dat allemaal wel goed. Zo begrijpen Patchwork en haar 2 maanden oude dochter Nanu niet waarom ze niet meer op de kattenkamer mogen.&lt;br /&gt;Het voornaamste is echter dat de kittens gezond zijn. Duimen jullie mee met mij voor een mooi en gezond laatste nestje??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TD2aFIt4cEI/AAAAAAAAJYw/BdbswJ6ZgEg/s1600/25+februari2009+022.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493716533491822658" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TD2aFIt4cEI/AAAAAAAAJYw/BdbswJ6ZgEg/s400/25+februari2009+022.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-6700911389065332282?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/6700911389065332282/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=6700911389065332282' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/6700911389065332282'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/6700911389065332282'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2010/07/we-wachten.html' title='We wachten   We wait'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/TD2aefobXPI/AAAAAAAAJY4/InERNLocWdc/s72-c/25+juni+07+062.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-2499778545066068564</id><published>2010-07-12T07:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-28T10:33:29.170-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='granddaughter'/><title type='text'>Zomerpret  Summerfun</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;I'm going to continue my blog mainly in Dutch.

Their fabrics inspire me again and again.&lt;br /&gt;Then there was the new book of Jane Brocket, a very big Kaffe fassett fan like me.&lt;br /&gt;The fabrics and het book together, inspired me to make a quilt from a packet of fabrics that I had collected since a few years.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are almost all Philip Jacobs fabrics for the exeption of 1 very old Kaffe Fassett print.I love what this simple pattern of squares put on the point do with the fabrics.I'm totally in love with this quilt. It's size is suitible for a single bed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472583754864706002" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/S_KF7hhIwdI/AAAAAAAAJX8/XAA8bkVpAOo/s400/DSCN3749.JPG" /&gt;This second top is even more simple. It is a very cool palet of whites and blue prints. It needs one more stripe on the right and then it is big enough to be a lap quilt. Kaffe Fassett quilt can be very cool and understated. The third top is quit the opposite.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472583161545928530" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/S_KFY_O6r1I/AAAAAAAAJX0/KqAPd7DZRds/s400/DSCN3737.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The top I made with a combination of Kaffe Fassett, Martha Negley and some Philip Jacobs fabrics and a few other ones. I was inspired in a class of a local teacher and knew immediatly how and what I wanted to do with the pattern I was given. I'm still in doubt if I will put a border on. The quilt top is now 180 cm wide and high.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, I know what to do in the next months. If only I could quilt them in 6 weeks. That would be a real result! But I like to make my quilts all by hand and so the quilting will take 6 years if I know myself!!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;See you next time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-4345718681387534434?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/4345718681387534434/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=4345718681387534434' title='0 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/4345718681387534434'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/4345718681387534434'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2010/05/long-overdue-and-new-quilts.html' title='Long overdue and new quilts'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/S_KKarwu6LI/AAAAAAAAJYE/AkqAqaEBkZA/s72-c/DSCN3743.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-6445293134993797804</id><published>2010-01-08T01:07:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-08T01:54:08.714-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='food'/><title type='text'>Foody Friday Festive Cod</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/S0b2TFjFClI/AAAAAAAAJWg/dLxeOjx1MDg/s1600-h/3jan10+004.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424293608981596754" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/S0b2TFjFClI/AAAAAAAAJWg/dLxeOjx1MDg/s400/3jan10+004.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; My New Year's dinner for the inlaws was a big hit. I was surprised that they where so enthousiastic.&lt;br /&gt;We had some different appetizers and pink champagne.&lt;br /&gt;Then we had filet of cod wrapped in taggliatelli with tomato salsa.&lt;br /&gt;Jerusalem artichock soup with smoked salmon&lt;br /&gt;Filet of hare with cranberry jus and pumpkin pancakes&lt;br /&gt;For dessert I had vanilla icecream and fresh baked vanilla spiced pineapple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was especially the cod that was a big hit and it is such an easy recipie.&lt;br /&gt;So here it is for you foody fans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best piece of cod.

The picture is of my plate and of course I had the last remaining piece so it is not the best of my parcels.&lt;br /&gt;Put this in the fridge ready for use.&lt;br /&gt;Made a salsa of thin slices of peeled and seeded tomatoes, thin slices of apricots and spring onions.

I wish you health, happiness and peace.&lt;br /&gt;A lot of festive days have past since the last time I blogged.&lt;br /&gt;In Belgium we started on the 6th of December with St Nicolas day. The day that all good children get presents and candy.&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421689851702438130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Sz22Md0QaPI/AAAAAAAAJUM/FEYxgyv0MyY/s400/6december2009+035.jpg" border="0" /&gt;For the first time in years we celebrated this again. With our new granddaughter Anne-Fleur it was the ideal year to do so. She is of course only 7 months old and thus not get the spirit of the day. Chewing presents was the big joy of her day!&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421689153944034850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Sz21j2dsHiI/AAAAAAAAJUE/MFawlMZODt0/s400/6december2009+020.jpg" border="0" /&gt; The typical candy, chocolate, fruit and of course the speculaas went to her mom and dad who accepted it gratefully. I think next year she will have her say about that!&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421691449304538690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Sz23pdWR3kI/AAAAAAAAJUs/oCQiyU-lGeA/s400/6december2009+016.jpg" border="0" /&gt;For the adults there was of course cake.A very simple chocolate cake adorned with the typical Saint Nicolas candy. Golden coins (with chocolate inside), nic nac's ( the small sugared cookies ) on the side and on top and some lovely little chocolate Saint Nicolas plaques I found at the bakery shop.&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421688744487623874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Sz21MBHrHMI/AAAAAAAAJT8/1lEhYx2RMJA/s400/6december2009+015.jpg" border="0" /&gt;It was years agoo that we had so much snow. I began snowing the first friday of december. So at Saint Nicolas day we took these pictures of Anne-Fleur. She sits on the sled of her dad and auntie that I kept for more than 30 years. She was a bit afraid. It was bitterly cold and her mom did not take her in to the snow before since she had been in hospital ,two weeks before. But I thought we could not pass up this opportunity to get pictures of her in the first snow of her life.She did not enjoy it that much.I think she was even a bit scared of it.&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421692262524271794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Sz24Yy0-PLI/AAAAAAAAJU8/xhdIxfn4O3s/s400/21december2009+177.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;In each case the snow lasted just until Christmas and we had the first white Christmas since 1986 I believe. The next day it started raining and it was all gone.&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Sz273ouBlcI/AAAAAAAAJVc/x7JbD-ATnIA/s1600-h/21december2009+355.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421696090921604546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Sz273ouBlcI/AAAAAAAAJVc/x7JbD-ATnIA/s400/21december2009+355.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the mean time our little kittens grew up to be little white and blue fluff ball's. You can't contain them in a small area anymore! They want to play! Polar Bear is kissing the Steiff snowman. He has found a good home in Holland.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sadly we have one handicapt kitten in the litter .You see him at the far left in the picture below.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;All four bones in his front legs are bent. He will always be handicaped. But the good news is that if he has a good chance to live a painfree and happy life, he will have a loving home with the parents of our Brandaen of with my daughter.&lt;br /&gt;Aren't they sweet?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Sz25OW_LGaI/AAAAAAAAJVM/BxNJhGW7yjI/s1600-h/21december2009+309.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421693182763800994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Sz25OW_LGaI/AAAAAAAAJVM/BxNJhGW7yjI/s400/21december2009+309.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Trying to snap a group picture is not that easy as you can see!&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421693672033054514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Sz25q1qDbzI/AAAAAAAAJVU/z3NPUBroB-I/s400/21december2009+315.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Shortly after Saint Nicolas day I set up the Christmas tree.&lt;br /&gt;I try to make a different tree every year. That you can see if you look for the post ' Christmas in July'.&lt;br /&gt;This year I used fresh green, covered with transparent plastic pearls, glass baubles, porcelain balls with flowers. Some metal and glass danglely things, some mirrored snowflakes and the collection of Snowbabie ornaments I started for Anne-Fleur. And of course my favorite ornaments of all could not be left in the cellar. My white glass birds are almost every year in my Christmas tree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421690373470607394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Sz22q1je2CI/AAAAAAAAJUU/_EDxXZXEc0E/s400/9december2009+009.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Lily our youngest Maine Coon is facinated with the tree .She had never seen one before.

He is the patron saint of the Children. Children put their shoe out with a carrot for the horse of Saint Nicolas and hope that in the morning the carrot will be gone and there will be presents instead.&lt;br /&gt;One of the presents we got every year was a  plate full of candy.&lt;br /&gt;The staples where, speculoos, oranges of clementines, golden chocolate coins, nicnac's  ( a very small cokie in the shape of letters) and guimove( a sort of sweet) and of corse some chocolade figurines.&lt;br /&gt;My hometown is famous for its very special speculoos.&lt;br /&gt;What is it exactly. Well it is a big cookie, a bit soft and the main ingrediances are, real butter, cinnamon and almonds.On the picture above you see two different kind. The small cookies are the commercially made one. These are very sweet and hard and thin and you can get them in every shape.&lt;br /&gt;The big ones are the ones where my hometown of Hasselt is famous for.&lt;br /&gt;These ones contain almons (the commercial ones don't have that) and are thick and a bit soft.&lt;br /&gt;The Dutch also have a sort of filled speculoos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SxkyheS0xiI/AAAAAAAAJTY/XCm0Pj_zjeA/s1600-h/4december2009+004.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411411977911453218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SxkyheS0xiI/AAAAAAAAJTY/XCm0Pj_zjeA/s400/4december2009+004.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Here is the recipie that I got from my great grandmother, Anneke.&lt;br /&gt;Cream 2,5 cups or 500 grams of sweet real butter.&lt;br /&gt;Please do not subsitute the butter for crisco of margerine or something.I is a very big part of the flavour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SxkyZfPyudI/AAAAAAAAJTQ/TAmF8QHob-E/s1600-h/4december2009+005.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411411840728218066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SxkyZfPyudI/AAAAAAAAJTQ/TAmF8QHob-E/s400/4december2009+005.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then add 3 1/4 cups or 650 grams of dark brown sugar&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SxkySALLROI/AAAAAAAAJTI/IJDLkxesnns/s1600-h/4december2009+006.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411411712128271586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SxkySALLROI/AAAAAAAAJTI/IJDLkxesnns/s400/4december2009+006.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Work in 4 XL or 5 L eggs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SxkyKQiWEEI/AAAAAAAAJTA/lnTDFLbRojs/s1600-h/4december2009+008.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411411579081461826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SxkyKQiWEEI/AAAAAAAAJTA/lnTDFLbRojs/s400/4december2009+008.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then add 2 heaped theaspoons of cinnamon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Sxkx-JHsP_I/AAAAAAAAJS4/a6Pfph-ssKM/s1600-h/4december2009+009.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411411370932191218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Sxkx-JHsP_I/AAAAAAAAJS4/a6Pfph-ssKM/s400/4december2009+009.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Then it is time to add 6 cups or 1 kilo of plain four and the right amount of baking powder&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Sxkx13Gje2I/AAAAAAAAJSw/7nk4oAjav_A/s1600-h/4december2009+010.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411411228656630626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Sxkx13Gje2I/AAAAAAAAJSw/7nk4oAjav_A/s400/4december2009+010.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Another vital part of speculoos of Hasselt and unique to that is  1 cup or 100 grams of almond powder and 1cup or 100 grams of slivered almond.

Just flatten the slices ever so slightly. Leave room between the slices since they will spread.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Bake for 15 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;The cookies should have only a lightly brown rim on the outside. The will be hard after cooling down but when you store them in a tin they should get softer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You could keep them for weeks but I bet they won't have the time to get bad!&lt;br /&gt;I know they are heavy on the calories but I only bake them for Saint Nicolas and for Christmas.&lt;br /&gt;These cookies are for Belgium and Holland what Shortbread is for Scotland and Chocolade chip cookies are for the USA.

One pack is just enough for us two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just cook the pasta in lots of salted water. These fresh pasta's are ready to eat after a few minutes of boiling.&lt;br /&gt;In the mean time fry some bacon pieces in a pan and when they are almost cooked trow in a spoon full of flour and mix. Make a sauce by adding some milk or cream and a handful of grated emmenthal cheese or gruyére. Season with salt and pepper.&lt;br /&gt;Put in some small pieces of un cooked zucchini and some froozen pea's. Sautee for a few minutes. I like my zucchine still to be with a bite. Trow in some fresh shredded basil .&lt;br /&gt;Toss the tortellini's in the pan and mix and serve.&lt;br /&gt;I had this on the table in about 20 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was delish!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Want some dessert??&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What about a slice of one of these cakes??&lt;br /&gt;After the cupcakes came the cakes. Below is the cake I made for the birthday of my daughter in laws  mother. There is 1 rose for every year of her live. I call it " The Rose Garden" cake.&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392954508802096322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/StefjXr9fMI/AAAAAAAAJOM/OypNM0wk1v8/s400/31september2009+022.jpg" border="0" /&gt;This one (did'nt I show you this before?), is just a try out to see if I could do this.

Luckely in november we have a lot of birthdays coming  up, so I will be able to bake cakes till I drop. Each cake takes at least 5 hours of work to make all the decorations and so. Every sugarpaste flower is handmade in a silicone mould and after hardening for a few hours, handpainted.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-7078061889616795969?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/7078061889616795969/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=7078061889616795969' title='13 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/7078061889616795969'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/7078061889616795969'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2009/10/foody-friday-easy-pasta-dish.html' title='Foody Friday Easy Pasta dish'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/StebXcamJQI/AAAAAAAAJN0/1gDSjOTlVAE/s72-c/6oktober2009+027.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>13</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-6505846906724994865</id><published>2009-10-13T00:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-13T00:27:21.398-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='art'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='antiques'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='home'/><title type='text'>Three or more Tuesday favorite paintings</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/StQmwxwsUSI/AAAAAAAAJNs/g8dR9cdbjTM/s1600-h/3augustus2009+045.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391977273302470946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/StQmwxwsUSI/AAAAAAAAJNs/g8dR9cdbjTM/s400/3augustus2009+045.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Since I was a child I had an interest in the arts. My father followed painting lessons in the local academy and saw him do his paintings in the evenings and in the weekends. I have one memory of me being a model for him. He took me on his bike to class on a cold february evening. I remember the hot burning coal stove and the fact that I was wearing my hair in a ponytail. That I had it in a ponytail was special since my mom always braided my hair . I hated that and it was very special for me that I could have it in a ponytail. Helas the portrait of me is gone missing in the last 15 years.&lt;br /&gt;The painting above is one of my fathers paintings. He was not a great artist but this painting is double special to me. He made it when I was 9 and it depicts his hometown seen from the little mount there was. It's called "Bilzen seen from the Borreberg". It hangs in my hall and I love the cool winter theme and the understated colors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/StQmoKHwDrI/AAAAAAAAJNk/S3_Y3hdSSNA/s1600-h/3augustus2009+078.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391977125222813362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/StQmoKHwDrI/AAAAAAAAJNk/S3_Y3hdSSNA/s400/3augustus2009+078.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; This second painting I found in a  fleamarket. It costed almost nothing. It's painted on a wood panel and the frame is black with handpainted tiny golden stars. I believe it is at least 100 years old. It only costed about 60 dollars but I am in love with it. It has such charm. I  love paintings with black and white cows on it. A reminder of my father being a farmers son??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/StQmfrV-B4I/AAAAAAAAJNc/b0VNbrxsOFw/s1600-h/3augustus2009+043.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391976979521996674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/StQmfrV-B4I/AAAAAAAAJNc/b0VNbrxsOFw/s400/3augustus2009+043.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; The third and last painting I found in a second hand shop. It's big, almost 27¨ square.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It stood there in the second hand shop with a very havy gold frame on it. I immediatly say its potential. The painting is very well done and I love the braekfast scene on it. The eggs, the bread and the herings, the jug of milk and the cup and the Sanseveria plant. This plant was once's in every household. I remember my mother having one too. It is very strong and if your lucky it blooms once a year with  one big stem of Ammaryllis type flowers.  The painted costed about 150 dollars but I think it is worth every cent. It is the perfect picture for our kitchen wall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-6505846906724994865?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/6505846906724994865/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=6505846906724994865' title='5 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/6505846906724994865'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/6505846906724994865'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2009/10/three-or-more-tuesday-favorite.html' title='Three or more Tuesday favorite paintings'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/StQmwxwsUSI/AAAAAAAAJNs/g8dR9cdbjTM/s72-c/3augustus2009+045.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-1548351433193873678</id><published>2009-10-08T15:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-08T15:50:25.223-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='food'/><title type='text'>Foody Friday Belgian National dish</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Ss5nNX9jFsI/AAAAAAAAJNM/J_Gb9E_y5-8/s1600-h/3oktober2009+003.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390359283477190338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Ss5nNX9jFsI/AAAAAAAAJNM/J_Gb9E_y5-8/s400/3oktober2009+003.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; As you could read in my previous blog entry we where at the Belgian coast last weekend for the wedding of my niece. The whole of the Belgian coast is only about 40 miles long!!! It is very flat without rocks and with fine white sandy beaches.&lt;br /&gt;We had beautiful fresh autumn weather with lots of sun.&lt;br /&gt;And when you are there you need to buy some scrimp.&lt;br /&gt;Not the scrimp you lot know but small brown scrimp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390359408106662082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 280px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 210px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Ss5nUoPh6MI/AAAAAAAAJNU/IeFmmP-VtWk/s400/zee2j.jpg" border="0" /&gt;In the olden day they where fished by fisherman on horseback like you see in the picture above. Now a day there are only a few fisherman left that honor this old traditional way of fishing .&lt;br /&gt;As you can well see they use big farm horses for the job. These are " Brabantse Trekpaarden" a very strong enormously big horses but they are very gentle. They drag a net trough the water and go as deep as there belly into the sea. On each side of the horse, the fisherman has a basket to keep the scrimp in. Fresh uncooked scrimp are only 1 inch long and almost see through.&lt;br /&gt;The scrimp are then cooked in seawater. Now a days small trawlers fish along the coastline to catch these valuable scrimp and every Belgian LOVES these small but delishous tasting beasts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Ss5nFbhHzmI/AAAAAAAAJNE/v_feGoR3yso/s1600-h/3oktober2009+004.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390359146992750178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Ss5nFbhHzmI/AAAAAAAAJNE/v_feGoR3yso/s400/3oktober2009+004.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; So when you are at the coast you buy them unpeeled. You sit down with a good glass of Stella Artois beer and start peeling. You wriggle the tail and pull it of en then you pull the head of.They are so yummie that hardly any are left to make a meal.I usely peel one to eat and one to keep! You need a lot before you can make a meal of them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Ss5m9iCP_vI/AAAAAAAAJM8/w35AmyFPKQE/s1600-h/3oktober2009+005.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390359011303358194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Ss5m9iCP_vI/AAAAAAAAJM8/w35AmyFPKQE/s400/3oktober2009+005.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Here there are a few browny pink peelde scrimp.&lt;br /&gt;When you have enough you mix them with a good mayonnaise, nothing else.&lt;br /&gt;You scoop out the inside of a tomatoe , season that with white pepper and salt and fill with the scrimp mixture.&lt;br /&gt;Give a salad with it and serve the tomatoes with some french fries or eat with some crusty bread.&lt;br /&gt;It is truly the national dish. We simply call it ' Tomate crevettes'. This is the French expression for a tomatoe with scrimp. In Flemish we would say ' Tomaat garnaal'.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You can also serve it in a tiny tomatoe as an appetiser. Eat them quickly since the scrimp don't keep long, certainly not when you have bought them fresh.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Don't trow away the heads and tails! Sautée these with some fresh vegetables, add some water and cook for a few minutes. Put trough a siff and press out all the juices after a few minutes of cooking. It will give you a delishous base for soups and sauces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Ss5mlzIFc7I/AAAAAAAAJM0/Sze3h-OPKtw/s1600-h/6oktober2009+004.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390358603574375346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Ss5mlzIFc7I/AAAAAAAAJM0/Sze3h-OPKtw/s400/6oktober2009+004.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-1548351433193873678?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/1548351433193873678/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=1548351433193873678' title='16 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/1548351433193873678'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/1548351433193873678'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2009/10/foody-friday-belgian-nattional-dish.html' title='Foody Friday Belgian National dish'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Ss5nNX9jFsI/AAAAAAAAJNM/J_Gb9E_y5-8/s72-c/3oktober2009+003.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>16</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-1429566905351339882</id><published>2009-10-05T23:57:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-06T00:15:03.551-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='family'/><title type='text'>Three or more pictures of an autumn wedding...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SsrrcnvcYkI/AAAAAAAAJKs/utz8a2DWLU8/s1600-h/3oktober2009+015.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389378781039059522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SsrrcnvcYkI/AAAAAAAAJKs/utz8a2DWLU8/s400/3oktober2009+015.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Last weekend we where at the Belgian coast to celebrate the marriage of or goddaughter.

The young married couple listening to the speech of Dad. The oild barn was set up with very modern white tables, white calla lilies and red waterglasses.

Every table had a name inspired by the burroughs of New York.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now it's up to La Reunion for the Honeymoon.&lt;br /&gt;I wish them every happiness in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-1429566905351339882?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/1429566905351339882/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=1429566905351339882' title='5 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/1429566905351339882'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/1429566905351339882'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2009/10/three-or-more-pictures-of-autumn.html' title='Three or more pictures of an autumn wedding...'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SsrrcnvcYkI/AAAAAAAAJKs/utz8a2DWLU8/s72-c/3oktober2009+015.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-4250440800234206290</id><published>2009-09-29T01:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-29T01:51:49.199-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fauna and flora'/><title type='text'>Three or more Tuesday...Starlings</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SsHGhmRAkMI/AAAAAAAAJKE/Pg3xZyamhQM/s1600-h/13september2009+026.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386804909821694146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SsHGhmRAkMI/AAAAAAAAJKE/Pg3xZyamhQM/s400/13september2009+026.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; You will think, there she is again. It's birds again!!! I promise you this will be the last bird topic for a while.&lt;br /&gt;It started almost a year agoo that I noticed that a small flock of birds settled for the night in the little wood across the street from our house.&lt;br /&gt;We live at the border of a small community, a little village and at 300 feet from our door we have a very bizzy road that leads from one town to another.But across my door there is a little field with some pony's in and behind and beside that there is a very small patch of land that is wooded. In that stands a very big tree that is dead at the top. I noticed that the birds perched there for the night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SsHGWUbLWzI/AAAAAAAAJJ8/Efr21FYmxNU/s1600-h/13september2009+027.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386804716053945138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SsHGWUbLWzI/AAAAAAAAJJ8/Efr21FYmxNU/s400/13september2009+027.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; It gave a bit of life to the street since they chatter a lot. This summer I noticed that more birds have settled in our little wood across the street and it seams that every day there are more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SsHGNE3Q0DI/AAAAAAAAJJ0/zEQb6Ad9bSo/s1600-h/13september2009+032.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386804557257953330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SsHGNE3Q0DI/AAAAAAAAJJ0/zEQb6Ad9bSo/s400/13september2009+032.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; It started in the summer around 8, 8.30 in the evening that from the north west behind our house small flocks of birds apeared. First you see a few, maybe 20 and then there is another flock and another and another....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SsHGDhVR5fI/AAAAAAAAJJs/ob-W17HsAC0/s1600-h/17juli2009+011.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386804393101354482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SsHGDhVR5fI/AAAAAAAAJJs/ob-W17HsAC0/s400/17juli2009+011.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a few weeks it seamed they came from everywhere. After a while the tree with the dead top was not big enough anymore and the birds settled in the surrounding trees.For about one hour the chatter and talk about the day gone by, fight for a place to sleep and then when the evening falls settle down for the night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SsHF5P8WZeI/AAAAAAAAJJk/-3ySlYYoSt4/s1600-h/21juli2009+008.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386804216634697186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SsHF5P8WZeI/AAAAAAAAJJk/-3ySlYYoSt4/s400/21juli2009+008.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Arround 5 in the morning the chattering start again and around 7 they fly away to forrage for the day. Now, autumm is in the land they come home more early, around 7.30 in the evening and only leave around 6.30/ 7 o'clock. They always come from the same way, the northwest, fly to settle down to the southeast.&lt;br /&gt;I am still not certain what birds they are. We think they are black starlings but we do not know for sure, it could also be a small sort of crow.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Once the evening falls you get great pictures like the one below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SsHFvyRjX1I/AAAAAAAAJJc/_RIkEf-LFkA/s1600-h/swap,thomas+en+quilts+kristel+003.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386804054051741522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SsHFvyRjX1I/AAAAAAAAJJc/_RIkEf-LFkA/s400/swap,thomas+en+quilts+kristel+003.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for coming by.

Breast meat will only take a few minutes a chicken on the bone will take lots more time.&lt;br /&gt;When the meat is lightly browned and semi cooked add the onions.The onions are not sliced in rings but are cut from top to bottom in 8, so you have moon shapes.&lt;br /&gt;Add them and lett them fry gently. Season with sweet paprika, salt and pepper and then add the wine.Let the chicken get olmost done and then add the apricots and grapes. You can ommit the grapes if you want.&lt;br /&gt;Let cook for a few minutes more and taste. If the taste is not sweet enough you can add a little of the apricot juice or add a spoonful of dark sugar.&lt;br /&gt;Bind the sauce slightly with some corn flower.&lt;br /&gt;We eat it with some crusty french baguettes but this is also nice with some rice or some boiled patatoes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Srxr1Lg3LJI/AAAAAAAAJIw/RG6ejywnqM8/s1600-h/7september2009+038.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385297815796133010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Srxr1Lg3LJI/AAAAAAAAJIw/RG6ejywnqM8/s400/7september2009+038.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-16258853101958428?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/16258853101958428/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=16258853101958428' title='10 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/16258853101958428'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/16258853101958428'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2009/09/foody-friday-moms-chicken-cassarole.html' title='Foody Friday  Mom&apos;s chicken cassarole'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Srxr8X_3b6I/AAAAAAAAJI4/euvBlkUHNIc/s72-c/7september2009+037.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-8957693600197511156</id><published>2009-09-22T02:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-22T02:50:15.949-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vintage'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='antiques'/><title type='text'>Three or more Tuesday Vintage cake stands</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SriZ2vEdYwI/AAAAAAAAJIY/z8aIfYWzrl4/s1600-h/22september2009+022.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384222520148583170" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SriZ2vEdYwI/AAAAAAAAJIY/z8aIfYWzrl4/s400/22september2009+022.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; That I like cooking and baking is well known to those who follow my blog or know me personally. I also like vintage glass and if you combine the two than you end with the vintage glass cake stands. As you can see I have rather more then three. All together I have 7 stands with foods and a few more without a food. Then they are more cake plates.&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384223007192006514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SriaTFcqP3I/AAAAAAAAJIg/F1LNSOzr9mo/s400/opendeurdag+en+kittens+bluma+21sept07+023.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Once in a while I invite my quiltladies to an afternoon of show and tell and then the cake stands are in full use.

We use Conference.&lt;br /&gt;Then put the fruit in the hot liquid and put a lid on it.&lt;br /&gt;Let it stand for a whole day. The fruit should be immersed in the liquid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SrMsIxLWIvI/AAAAAAAAJHg/q6yuhVgW5uU/s1600-h/7september2009+047.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382694508789375730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SrMsIxLWIvI/AAAAAAAAJHg/q6yuhVgW5uU/s400/7september2009+047.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day you drain the fruit from the liquid and bring the liquid again to the boil.Remove from the heat and put the fruit back in.Let it stand for another day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SrMsIf8WTKI/AAAAAAAAJHY/6W_oicNvoxU/s1600-h/7september2009+049.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382694504163069090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SrMsIf8WTKI/AAAAAAAAJHY/6W_oicNvoxU/s400/7september2009+049.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; The third day you drain the fruit again and bring the liquid back to the boil. Once it boils you put in small parts of the fruit. Let the liquid come back to the boil and after a minut remove the plums but the pears should cook for about 3 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Do this to all the fruit.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Put the cooked fruit in a jar.Let the liquid cook out a bit. You will see you have a lot more juice then before. Top up the jar with the liquid and close the jar.&lt;br /&gt;Trow away the rest of the liquid.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You will notice that you can get 8 pounds of pears in the big jar below. This was 3 pounds of plums and it hardly filled the jar's bottem.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So I filled this big jar with the pears and put the plums in a smaller jar.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You can eat these immediatly. Once opened you can keep eating from the same jar until they the fruit is finished.You don't need to put it in a fridge.Even a year later the fruit will still be ok.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The vinegair and the sugar prevents it from spoiling.&lt;br /&gt;This is very nice to eat with some cold meat or with some chicken and french fries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SrMsH-Rn2SI/AAAAAAAAJHQ/7echZrhUouI/s1600-h/7september2009+068.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382694495125494050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SrMsH-Rn2SI/AAAAAAAAJHQ/7echZrhUouI/s400/7september2009+068.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; This is the only thing except from jam that my father used to cook.

You have the kind you just have to own like these small tin pincushions in the shape of animals,shoe's and egg. They are not functional at all for a real seamstress. But they are fun to look at.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Sq8noxzSnSI/AAAAAAAAJG4/72j8NvNsFJE/s1600-h/3augustus2009+021.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381563661247749410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Sq8noxzSnSI/AAAAAAAAJG4/72j8NvNsFJE/s400/3augustus2009+021.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Then you have the beauty. It is handmade by an artist and I love the whit and the humor in it.You can use it very well but it is to beautiful to use and to fragile. But it makes me smile all day long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Sq8nXrAEFwI/AAAAAAAAJGw/ZVm_XjLJGA4/s1600-h/3augustus2009+047.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381563367364499202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Sq8nXrAEFwI/AAAAAAAAJGw/ZVm_XjLJGA4/s400/3augustus2009+047.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Then you have the functional one. This one I love very much too and I use it all day long, every day.&lt;br /&gt;I saw a simular one as this one in a quilt class I was teaching and I asked the lady where she has bought it. She said a friend who is a wood turner made it for her . Al her quilt friends had one too.&lt;br /&gt;So I ordered one from her and took it to classes I teached. Every one thought this was a beautiful but also very handy thing and wished to buy one too. But the other lady was someone who I only met once or twice so that was not an option.&lt;br /&gt;In the end, another student of mine, had also a friend who was a wood turner and he made all of us these beauty's. In total he made almost 60. All of my quilt lady's wanted one in the end.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;He used very beautiful pear wood and every one he made whas slightly different in shape.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;He made the yarn holders from sturdy long nails instead of fragile wooden spindlesI have in my first one. He also added a  needle holder witch can also holds your timble on top. And I added the hook so I can hook a small pair of scissors on it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The actual pincushion is half a ball of styrofoam witch can be exchanged when needed. I use this pincushion for more then ten years and it is still as nice as the first day I got it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I hope you enjoyed my show and tell. See you next week&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-4489927343491770450?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/4489927343491770450/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=4489927343491770450' title='6 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/4489927343491770450'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/4489927343491770450'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2009/09/three-or-more-tuesday-pincushions.html' title='Three or more Tuesday Pincushions'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Sq8pUhr-2uI/AAAAAAAAJHA/F-JzWK1QqFo/s72-c/13september2009+050.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-4028125287573935961</id><published>2009-09-10T03:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-10T21:08:52.546-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cats'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Maine Coons'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='food'/><title type='text'>Foody Friday, a fishy day!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SqjXp5evCsI/AAAAAAAAJGI/E2nd-B1n9GM/s1600-h/7september2009+069.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379786869698398914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SqjXp5evCsI/AAAAAAAAJGI/E2nd-B1n9GM/s400/7september2009+069.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; All is quiet in the house.

She was about 90 then.&lt;br /&gt;She offered us to pick out of the tin whatever we wanted to have. Non of the other studants had a lot of interest in the buttons but I began to delfe in it and discovered more and more beauty's from the thirties. Even the Annie herself was amased what I discovered. Since I wanted so many of the good buttons I offered to pay her for them but she declined. Thanks again Annie, for these small treasures.&lt;br /&gt;Above, the more colorful dress buttons. Most of them are in an early plastic and some, like the ones with the flowers are glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SqYGCL39V5I/AAAAAAAAJFA/l4498Ul_mxs/s1600-h/13oktober+08+020.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378993439557638034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SqYGCL39V5I/AAAAAAAAJFA/l4498Ul_mxs/s400/13oktober+08+020.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Some very thin buttons on the right.

I especially like mini cupcakes like you see in the picture.&lt;br /&gt;For my sister in law I made the cupcakes on the above picture.&lt;br /&gt;She had a gathering with friends.&lt;br /&gt;These cupcakes traveled the length of Belgium and where 10 hours in transit before they reached their destination.&lt;br /&gt;Muy husband took them to the Belgian coast, a 2 hour drive. There they stayed in a coolbox for 6 hours and then my sister in law took them home, also a 2 hour drive. But they survived!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SqCzuta5B-I/AAAAAAAAJD4/e3knJBFt7EY/s1600-h/8augustus2009+001.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377495570128111586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SqCzuta5B-I/AAAAAAAAJD4/e3knJBFt7EY/s400/8augustus2009+001.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Since I started making them I got another order from a one of my kitten buyers who's friend was to be a bride and they gave her a party. &lt;div&gt;I made her the romantic cupcakes you see above.

It's an odd combination if you like and have a lot of cats like me!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Years agoo, I was given these small cups and saucers by a sweet friend after I had been raving about them. She gave them to me as a thank you and goodbye gift after teaching a patchwork course.&lt;br /&gt;They are so very, very sweet with the handpainted birds and butterfly's. I did not want to accept them since they one's belonged to her grandmother but she insisted and I have cared and loved them ever since. The porcelain is so thin that you can look trough them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There is no mark, but a small handpainted number, so I know nothing of the factory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376424069110471570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SpzlNJEwm5I/AAAAAAAAJDY/ShIrkEicZgQ/s400/1september2009+015.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Lately I came across some dinerware of George Jones. George Jones ( 19th century) is well know for his very beautiful and now expensive majolica wares.But I  did not know that he also made diner wares.&lt;br /&gt;I saw these bits of a tea set on Ebay and made a far to high bid on it and got them . The pattern is called " Almonds".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SpzlCsO-DXI/AAAAAAAAJDQ/mKUNbbU5t_U/s1600-h/1september2009+012.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376423889569975666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SpzlCsO-DXI/AAAAAAAAJDQ/mKUNbbU5t_U/s400/1september2009+012.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Then a week later I came across this very pretty George Jones cup and saucer and I could not let I go. It costed me about 20 $ but I think it is well worth this money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376423573981003042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SpzkwUksfSI/AAAAAAAAJDA/KggJpRFLSGw/s400/1september2009+008.jpg" border="0" /&gt;In the same week I saw these darling George Jones cups and plates, also on Ebay UK...I love swallows and nobody wanted them so I bougth them very cheap.

A French dessert made with fruit, and whipped cream and set with gelatine.&lt;br /&gt;When I was on a diet 3 years agoo I wanted something lush and gourgous en sweet en fruity for dessert and....something to was not to heavy on the hips.&lt;br /&gt;Since I like bavarois very much I made a light version on it. Since that day we actually only eat this light version because it is so light and so fresh and so fruity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Spae5n1Ed2I/AAAAAAAAJCw/tQfimmHShaE/s1600-h/27augustus2009+003.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374657918094571362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Spae5n1Ed2I/AAAAAAAAJCw/tQfimmHShaE/s400/27augustus2009+003.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; You need:&lt;br /&gt;500 grams or  18 ounces of fat free curd cheese. The Dutch call this 'kwark', Belgians call this 'plattekaas' with means as much as runny cheese. This is the first thing you get when you start making cheese. It tastes a bit like ricotta but its runnier and less grainy.&lt;br /&gt;500 grams  or 18 ounces of raspberry's or strawberry 's, witch you cutter uncooked and sive to get the pips out.&lt;br /&gt;1/2 cup of fine white sugar&lt;br /&gt;3 egg large of 4 small egg whites&lt;br /&gt;7 leaves of gelatine. Mine are 2 grams a piece. So you need 14 grams that is half an ounce.&lt;br /&gt;Juice of half an orange.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a large bowl and mix the curd cheese with the raspberry sauce.&lt;br /&gt;Put the gelatine and let it soak in cold water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SpaevKFEwsI/AAAAAAAAJCo/3b8qHt028gU/s1600-h/27augustus2009+005.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374657738309944002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SpaevKFEwsI/AAAAAAAAJCo/3b8qHt028gU/s400/27augustus2009+005.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Mix with the sugar.&lt;br /&gt;Then put a little saucepan on with the orange juice. Let it get hot and take it of the heat.&lt;br /&gt;Remove gelatine from cold water en remove excess water. Let is melt in the hot orange juice. Never boil gelatine or it will not set.&lt;br /&gt;Beat the gelatine under the fruit mixture.

Place the bowl for a few seconds in hot water. See that the water does not go over the side of the bowl.&lt;br /&gt;Create an air pocket by gently sliding a knife between the mould and the mousse.&lt;br /&gt;Put a serving dish on top of the mould and turn it upside down.&lt;br /&gt;Gentle let the mouse slide out of the mould. If it does not come immediatly you can help it with tilting the mould slightly and creating another air pocket.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SpaeC3oTeVI/AAAAAAAAJCI/qXFoptOSJG8/s1600-h/27augustus2009+017.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374656977443191122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SpaeC3oTeVI/AAAAAAAAJCI/qXFoptOSJG8/s400/27augustus2009+017.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Decorate with fruit and some leaves of the raspberry bush. I had a gourgous deep red rose in the garden that had the exactly right colour for the mousse. It was'nt sprayed with anything so you could eat it if you wanted.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is a least fit for 6 people. I even had some left over. I managed to fill a glass with it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You can do all the mousse in single serving moulds if you wished.

For those who do not know it, this factory is famous for its paper thin porcelain. A lot of their earlier collections are in the form of shell's. So is this delicate cup. You wonder if ever anybody drank tea out of these cups. You can see right trough the porcelain. They also call it eggshell porcelain. That is a very good name for this kind of porcelain.&lt;br /&gt;Sadly I do not have the saucer but I will surch to find one so the set is compleet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SpOb89J0wUI/AAAAAAAAJBg/0lHaXzgbZ8o/s1600-h/3augustus2009+032.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373810251893358914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SpOb89J0wUI/AAAAAAAAJBg/0lHaXzgbZ8o/s400/3augustus2009+032.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is I think a very old cup. It is what is called Lustre ware. You see the shiny rosy golden stripe on the rim and on the foot. On the one side there is a landscape with a castle and on the other side is a lady in 1820's dress walking a lurcher. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SpOZddFe-eI/AAAAAAAAJBY/OG4S2pJlZHc/s1600-h/3augustus2009+035.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373807511686019554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SpOZddFe-eI/AAAAAAAAJBY/OG4S2pJlZHc/s400/3augustus2009+035.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; This is a very,very old cup and saucer. It must date from about 1780! You can tell this by the fact that it has a very deep saucer and there is no rim to hold the cup in place in the saucer. This is something you only see in very old saucers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373810723680376898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SpOcYasnWEI/AAAAAAAAJBo/EPI3tLlRvy0/s400/16augustus2009+071.jpg" border="0" /&gt; The saucers is handpainted with a Chinese scene and is very fresh in colour with all that pink and green and red.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SpOZMx_lASI/AAAAAAAAJBQ/tcwquJg1UdU/s1600-h/3augustus2009+030.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373807225240617250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SpOZMx_lASI/AAAAAAAAJBQ/tcwquJg1UdU/s400/3augustus2009+030.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a totally different kettle of fish. These cups and plate (it is not a saucer) is made by the for us well know porcelain factory of Maastricht. This is a Dutch company that does not exist anymore. It was situated in the town of Maastricht. This town sits on the border of Belgium and Holland. I had an uncle who worked in that factory in the sixty's. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is from their childrens range of Little Red Riding Hood. It is such fun. I hope that in a few years my little granddaughter will enjoy it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For next week I promise some other beautiful cup and saucers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-4670561743327252898?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/4670561743327252898/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=4670561743327252898' title='9 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/4670561743327252898'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/4670561743327252898'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2009/08/three-or-more-thursday-cups-with-or.html' title='Three or more Tuesday cups with or without saucers'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SpOd9669IuI/AAAAAAAAJBw/EweK-YlJERI/s72-c/16augustus2009+073.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-7621109804279506478</id><published>2009-08-20T23:51:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-21T00:13:25.699-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='food'/><title type='text'>Foody Friday, tasty chicken salad</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/So5FfR25IVI/AAAAAAAAJBA/-BnI3E7JbLk/s1600-h/11augustus2009+029.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372307809171480914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/So5FfR25IVI/AAAAAAAAJBA/-BnI3E7JbLk/s400/11augustus2009+029.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;More then 10 years agoo there was an exposition of Antique American Quilts in Brussels.&lt;br /&gt;Of course there where also shop and in one of those stalls I bought a cookbook called "The quilters cookbook". It contained recipies from quilters all over America. This has become one of my most used cookbooks and it learned me how to bake and cook with cups.&lt;br /&gt;My cake baking has increased immensely since.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This recipie comes also out of that cookbook.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Chicken salad&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Start with a grilled chicken or gently boil 2 to 3 fat single chicken filets in some chicken stock. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I always do the latter.&lt;br /&gt;Clean a whole green celery and chop in 1/2 inch pieces&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Add half a pound of green seedless grapes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You could add a can of waterchestnuts.

The ones I show you are not all the ones I have. There is in the house at least another pair of slender wooden ones and a very tall modern single candle holder that I can think of.&lt;br /&gt;The candle holder above is Art Deco in style and was made by a Belgian company called Thulin. I collected some of its ware a while agoo. This range called "Airain " always has the green and black color combination. A very typical Art Deco combination. I like the shape of this piece very much.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SopPVHCowlI/AAAAAAAAJAg/8HVsO9HT_BA/s1600-h/3augustus2009+080.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371192729678692946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SopPVHCowlI/AAAAAAAAJAg/8HVsO9HT_BA/s400/3augustus2009+080.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This  candle holder holds special memory's for me since it was a gift from my late father. He had a friend who was cleaning out his garage and he wanted to trow this candle holder away. My father asked if he could have it because, I think this would be something that my daughter liked, he said. He gave me the candle holder on my next visit and I indeed liked it. I does not do it's job very well. I never have found a candle that would fit the thing so candles always topple over. So this is one never to be used but also never to trow away....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SopPF6W7IsI/AAAAAAAAJAY/LPjPgQtb4CY/s1600-h/3augustus2009+044.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371192468576084674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SopPF6W7IsI/AAAAAAAAJAY/LPjPgQtb4CY/s400/3augustus2009+044.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A very cheap wall sconce but I love it.

I was abble to buy it for the equivivalent of 20$. If I wanted I could replate it and it would be very pretty on my table. But I like its shabby chic feel and I will keep it like this.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thanks for looking. See you next week!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-8940971817259442981?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/8940971817259442981/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=8940971817259442981' title='6 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/8940971817259442981'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/8940971817259442981'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2009/08/three-or-more-candle-holders.html' title='Three or more candle holders'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SopPhx4qVTI/AAAAAAAAJAo/TgwoTfV2Dso/s72-c/3augustus2009+088.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-5632179417437144318</id><published>2009-08-13T23:49:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-14T00:12:17.470-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Foody Friday Gratin Dauphinois</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SoULEuypT9I/AAAAAAAAI_s/xlid-hLYpPk/s1600-h/11augustus2009+008.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369710306617020370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SoULEuypT9I/AAAAAAAAI_s/xlid-hLYpPk/s400/11augustus2009+008.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Last week I did not participate because of the fact that I let the chicken burn that I wanted to talk about! I put it in a pan to boil and forgot about it! Of course I was busy on my laptop and then time flies by.....&lt;br /&gt;On sunday my son and his family came by for a chat and a meal and for us to see our little granddaughter and I decided to make a simple but festive meal of lamfilet with French beans and cherry tomatoes and a Gratin Dauphinois. &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;First you feel, wash, dry and slice your patatoes. Don't use a flowery one.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369709453252167474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SoUKTDwnBzI/AAAAAAAAI_U/iwpbDqAG6Rw/s400/11augustus2009+001.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Than make the combination of milk and egg. I used 2 eggs, half a liter of semi skimmed milk, 1 clove of chopped garlic, peper and salt.&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369709802092708098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SoUKnXSrQQI/AAAAAAAAI_c/cdpHkVyDESk/s400/11augustus2009+002.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Take a shallow glass or otherwise ovenproof dish and start layering.A layer of the raw potatoe slices, a layer of the milk mixture and a bit of cheese. The cheese is not traditional in France but we like it so we used about 2 ounces of grated emmental cheese.&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369710034388626466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SoUK04qVrCI/AAAAAAAAI_k/2_3m1IQNR1M/s400/11augustus2009+003.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Bake in the microwave, yes, we like the microwave for this. It saves you lots of time. This one was ready in 35 minutes instead of at least 1 hour in the oven.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369710526908029314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SoULRjcHWYI/AAAAAAAAI_0/1iY-kaq4SEE/s400/11augustus2009+007.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the mean time that the gratin is in the microwave you steam of cook your French green beans until tender but still with a crunch.Drain.&lt;br /&gt;Put the pot back on the fire and sautee a small diced onion.&lt;br /&gt;Put the tomatoes in and when they start to soften put the beans in. The tomatoes need just to be popped a little and the beans just need to be warmded trough.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Add pepper and salt and a dash of vinigair. It is like a warm vinaigrette.&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369710763250463858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SoULfT4itHI/AAAAAAAAI_8/oDmscsaIvg4/s400/11augustus2009+006.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then it is just a question of  grilling the meat.I just like it pink, sprinkled with some oregano and peper and salt.

He is the kind of cat you don't want. He sprays, even after being castrated for 9 years of his life and he is not the cuddle type that sits on your lap.But never the less (and only other catlovers can understand) I love him dearly.&lt;br /&gt;So, to celebrate this birthday I show you my collection of cat pictures that I collected over the years.&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SoEqBEecesI/AAAAAAAAI_E/O4PDukgq9Zk/s1600-h/11augustus2009017b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368618428672015042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 333px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SoEqBEecesI/AAAAAAAAI_E/O4PDukgq9Zk/s400/11augustus2009017b.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; This is the cat picture wall, situated in the cat room. As a catbreeder I needed a room for the cats for when they are sick or pregnant or for when I have kittens. So when the children left the house a small bedroom was rearrangd to accomodate the cats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SoEpPN9PjHI/AAAAAAAAI-8/_UsYHJVVyp0/s1600-h/11augustus2009+024.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368617572223650930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SoEpPN9PjHI/AAAAAAAAI-8/_UsYHJVVyp0/s400/11augustus2009+024.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This and the picture below are the work of Elie Harper. Her husband is very famous in the US and I love these funny catpictures that hang in our living room.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;On the above a cat is looking at the snow outside, peeping from under the blinds&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SoEpAei0AFI/AAAAAAAAI-0/qg0O2RlEFC4/s1600-h/11augustus2009+020.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368617318978158674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SoEpAei0AFI/AAAAAAAAI-0/qg0O2RlEFC4/s400/11augustus2009+020.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; This second one from Elie Harper is a cat looking trough a fish bowl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SoEosrNShKI/AAAAAAAAI-s/zScEreoqqdc/s1600-h/11augustus2009+019.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368616978780161186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SoEosrNShKI/AAAAAAAAI-s/zScEreoqqdc/s400/11augustus2009+019.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; The work of this lady is totally different. On the cat picture wall I have two other small painting of her. She works a lot in green and depicts a lot of cats. Her name is Sarah Kiser. The other two pictures are on the top left in the cat room.

A few years before this gift was made to us, my mother and I where at an antiques fair and all of the sudden we saw a bronze statue of a branch with 4 birds on. Its black base lay beside it. We where both immediatly atracted by it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The base was signed by the letters AV Becquerel. We never heard of this artist before but since the bronze was not too expensive I advised my mother to buy it. Since that day it stands proudly on her coffee table and everybody loves it.&lt;br /&gt;My younger brother, the man he is, wanted to know more about that Becquerel.&lt;br /&gt;He surched and surched the internet but there is not much to be found. We see his work regulary at auctions and on Ebay and so, but he seems not to be a major artist.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366041626539391762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SngCbcfW-xI/AAAAAAAAI-M/3U5jcUfbpOk/s400/3augustus2009+107.jpg" border="0" /&gt;There are two versions of his day of birth. Sometimes you see the date 1880 to 1940. On other websites you see 1893 t0 1981. Much of his work has influences of the Art Deco period so I would personaly rather go for the latter date. He has exhibited in Paris in the period between 1914 and 1922. That then again suggests rather the earlyer birthday since he only would have been 21 years old when he exhibited in 1914... I stays a mystery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;We have discoverd some other beautiful other sculptures of him, like leaping fish, deer, lioness and his famous panthers. He also made some bird booksupports and some radiator caps depictings dogs and hares. All these sculptures are much more Art Deco in style then the birds. But we mainly love his bird sculptures.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;My brother was so fasinated by the bird bronze of my mother that he looked out for them and managed to find and buy some more. He knew I loved the one my mom bought and one day he found the one with the bird on the wheat ear in a small antique shop. First he offered me to buy it from him and I accepted that offer. Then when I wanted to give him the money he refused to sell it to me. I was very disappointed in him but afterwords of cause we found out that in the mean time the family had decided to gift it to us for our silver wedding anniversary.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;So this one became the first I owned.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366033939357951714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Snf7b_ge5uI/AAAAAAAAI9c/l_t4RX7_Tl0/s400/3augustus2009+020.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Of course I wanted some more... Trough Ebay I found the other once. The second one in the house where the seagulls on the waves...It is a common subject for Becquerel since I know of at least two other sculptures with gulls. &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366033506788143522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Snf7C0DzcaI/AAAAAAAAI9U/bkFjLSFhf-Q/s400/3augustus2009+014.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;After a few years I saw this small one on the French Ebay site and bought it after asking my brother if he was also going to bid on it.

We had started having these Birthday BBQ a few years before Dad died and mom tought it would be a good idea to keep doing them and so remembering Dad's birthday by.&lt;br /&gt;This gathering took place last sunday.We where lucky with the weather and&lt;br /&gt;like always we had a good day with lots of food and drinks and with lots of laughs.&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364397200639246338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SnIq1QozwAI/AAAAAAAAI7k/99kLansjo6c/s400/26juli2009+006.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course I had to make something too and I invented a summer vegetable salad that I named:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;Victorine kitchen garden salad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Victorine is my fathers mother and she was a farmers wife. They had a fabulous kitchen garden of witch I have fond memory's of. See the september topic of red apples from last year.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So in honour of her and her kitchen garden I made this salad.&lt;br /&gt;It contains masses of fresh veg and a rather special dressing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Combine steamed of parboiled pieces of carrot, green beans, snowpeas, cauliflower, white Belgian Asparagues together with raw pieces of celary, zucchini and tiny tomatoes.&lt;br /&gt;I cook all my vegetables separate because they all need different cooking times. I leave them crunchy as well. You af course can take other vegeatbles also.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364397453153347282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SnIrD9U3JtI/AAAAAAAAI7s/EbDXyPXHXXo/s400/26juli2009+001.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Then I created this dressing&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;Creamy sour cream and lemon dressing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Combine one small tub of sour cream with two heaped TS of good mayo.&lt;br /&gt;Put 4 tablespoons of white wine vinigair in ( mine was flavered with minth), salt, pepper, some dryed salad herbs and the grated rind of a washed and untreaded lemon. It gives you a thick creamy dressing. Make it fairly acid at this time since. The salad needs this.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Toss together an hour before serving. The vegatables wil dilute the saladdressing a bit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364398240690117810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SnIrxzIQnLI/AAAAAAAAI8E/_6t9HgS6cgg/s400/26juli2009+060.jpg" border="0" /&gt;As always my younger brother was the barbeque master.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here we are still on the appetizers&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364398936699687218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SnIsaT930TI/AAAAAAAAI8c/1DyrtadUSz4/s400/26juli2009+057.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Guacamole and a spicy cold mango soup and spicy meatballs with tzaziki.&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364403632828524050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SnIwrqaPJhI/AAAAAAAAI8k/uiaLiT9TOnc/s400/26juli2009+059.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After the appetizers there chicken drumsticks, pork tenderloin, small steaks, lam cutlets, sausages and all different kind of salads to go with it.&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;For desert I made my mini cupcakes.

Everyone thinks they are so decorative. I was charmed by them too so I started my little colletion with the white one on the bottom right. It once was black and is a cage for exhibiting birds in on bird shows. You see them quite often on fleamarkets and so and they are still inexpensive to buy.&lt;br /&gt;The very small one on the bottom was my latest find. I bought it at an brocante fair last year and painted it white to fit the baby room.&lt;br /&gt;The blue one is my favorite. This one I got from a forum friend who also has a small antiques shop. I love this one very much.&lt;br /&gt;First all these little cages where in a corner of my livingroom together with the little nest and the oil painting of the doves. But then I found this light garland with the birds at Ikea and I knew I had to incorporate these with the birdcages to go in the baby's room. I makes a nice feature at night for my granddaughter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363473248951211522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Sm7igMYMFgI/AAAAAAAAI6U/Y_kyvrWtCPc/s400/17juli2009+017.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;I finally finished my granddaughters room. It took a bit longer then I had planned but I is ready now. It could do with some more finishing touches but it is almost there.&lt;br /&gt;Next to the bird cage wall is the bookcase. I am sad I did not have a vintage bookcase to put here but I had 4 of these Billie bookcases from Ikea in this room before it became Anne-Fleur's room so I had to use at least one of them. For years I have been collecting Pop-Up books and now there is finally a little girl who will for sure enjoy them in the coming years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363474832895844386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Sm7j8ZCBICI/AAAAAAAAI60/mFi--rLxp8w/s400/21juli2009+028.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Next to the bookcase is a little vintage desk and the chair from my grandmothers kitchen. I still see her sitting on that chair peeling potatoes and so. I also have her kitchen table but that one was to big for this room. I want to paint the little table white I think. This is one of the things I still need to do. If you then turn to your right you then will see the bed my parents bought for me to sleep in when I was a little baby. I painted it a aqua kind of blue and matched it with a quilt that I made myself and some lace Ikea curtains. The old red chair is to be recovered. That is the second thing I still want to do but I am hessitating to do it myself because it is a difficult but beautiful shape. This is one of my better vintage finds. I only paid about 35 dollars for it.&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363473627324151170" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Sm7i2N7U9YI/AAAAAAAAI6c/sWg_zcs9NeE/s400/17juli2009+028.jpg" border="0" /&gt;To your left under the window, stands this also vintage and very small baby's highchair. I bougth it many years agoo to display the replica porcelain doll's in that I made some 20 years agoo. This one sitting in the chair is the very first and one I made and the only once I made handmade clothes for. The doll sits on one my very first babyquilt.

The softest pink and something between a mophead and a lacecap.&lt;br /&gt;There are tree varieties missing. A very pale blue one that is supposed to flower all summer and a very special one with very dark leaves and white flowers trimmed with pink/orange. But these have not done so well. We have had a very warm June and I planted them in sunny place. It was a place that is too hot for them. I need to find another spot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We also have a lot of blue lacecaps,I think they are calles Blue Moon, but they have not done eather this year and I don't like them at all. Hydrangea's should be blowsy and fat and this variety is nothing like that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;See you next week for the next Tree or more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-7162808758384789246?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/7162808758384789246/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=7162808758384789246' title='13 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/7162808758384789246'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/7162808758384789246'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2009/07/three-or-more-hydrangeas.html' title='Three or more Hydrangea&apos;s'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SmWI3eW7P1I/AAAAAAAAIuA/26dD6iE3VbI/s72-c/4juni2009+003.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>13</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-4870745934759489157</id><published>2009-07-17T08:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-24T14:14:30.750-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='food'/><title type='text'>Foodie Friday  Sad food</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SmCYsYhYjjI/AAAAAAAAIto/2ege4AOsHV4/s1600-h/12april+08+025.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359451444835028530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SmCYsYhYjjI/AAAAAAAAIto/2ege4AOsHV4/s400/12april+08+025.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Can you make sad food??&lt;br /&gt;Lately I have been making it for my father in law.&lt;br /&gt;He was in the last stages of Alzheimer disease and he could not eat much any more. Chewing and biting was no longer possible.&lt;br /&gt;So I did what I do best. I made him some nice food he still could eat.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I pureed banana's, kiwi's, pears,stawberry's and so on and mixed it with some special baby cookies or with curd cheese. Especially for him I sifted out all the seeds from the kiwi and the strawberry.&lt;br /&gt;I also made him some mashed patatoes, mixed with lovely carrots or broccoli. It was real tasty food.&lt;br /&gt;He enjoyed this food for two more weeks and on Thuesday night he closest his eyes and died in his sleep.&lt;br /&gt;Making this food could have been a joy since I almost could make the same food for my little granddaughter. But now she will neve know him....&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359451777621690178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SmCY_wP6B0I/AAAAAAAAItw/rhcOimlHxX0/s400/12april+08+028.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;So yes, you can make sad food.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-4870745934759489157?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/4870745934759489157/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=4870745934759489157' title='8 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/4870745934759489157'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/4870745934759489157'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2009/07/foody-friday-sad-food.html' title='Foodie Friday  Sad food'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SmCYsYhYjjI/AAAAAAAAIto/2ege4AOsHV4/s72-c/12april+08+025.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-2122860616823482693</id><published>2009-07-14T01:16:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-24T14:15:05.498-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vintage'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='antiques'/><title type='text'>3 or more tabacco jars</title><content type='html'>&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358227613482733666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 192px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 279px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Slw_oBdT0GI/AAAAAAAAIsg/KNwzCjp4X3Y/s400/ThreeOrMoreTuesdayLogo.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Why I have 3 jars or boxes related to smoking I don't know. Nobody smoke's in the house.&lt;br /&gt;But my father and brothers and my grandfather where smokers.&lt;br /&gt;This first box was an Ebay find. I stumbled on it and it was almost to be sold but nobody seemed to want it. I was struck by it from the moment I layed eyes on this battered old thing.&lt;br /&gt;It has so much charm. I guess it must be from the early Victorian times maybe 1840 or so?? Don't ask me why but it has that feeling over it. It is a dog kennel with a little copper dog in front of it. The box is made of wood and decorated with metal studs.&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358229372856926322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SlxBObozgHI/AAAAAAAAItQ/Tgq1Rvqbt4A/s400/6juli2009+013.jpg" border="0" /&gt;As you can see,it is really battered and brused. On the inside you can see remnants of the foil that traditionally covered the inside of sigar boxes and it also has the dividers for the sigars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SlxBasUNZTI/AAAAAAAAItY/c6tv8W3n5gk/s1600-h/6juli2009+015.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358229583492375858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SlxBasUNZTI/AAAAAAAAItY/c6tv8W3n5gk/s400/6juli2009+015.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Don't you find this box as charming as I did when I first saw it???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358229869174124818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SlxBrUkC8RI/AAAAAAAAItg/hWr6zSwNKk4/s400/6juli2009+016.jpg" border="0" /&gt;The second tabacco jar my daughter and I found it at an antiques fair. My daughter absolutely wanted it but she could not afford it, since it costed almost 150 dollars. But I also was charmed by it and so it went home with us. I know why my daugther wanted it. As always it was because there was a cat on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358228495208406066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SlxAbWJF3DI/AAAAAAAAIs4/pVhXE3mPYQ4/s400/6juli2009+006.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Once again it is a dogkennel and two little dogs lay at the door of there kennel that is overgrown with ivy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SlxArvmwBZI/AAAAAAAAItA/ZFXQAZ5QW54/s1600-h/6juli2009+009.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358228776921597330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SlxArvmwBZI/AAAAAAAAItA/ZFXQAZ5QW54/s400/6juli2009+009.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But aldo it is a dogs kennel the cat is master of the roost by proudly sitting on top of the kennel.

In our country I olden days you often saw dogs who had an old beer or wine barrel for a kennen.&lt;br /&gt;This ceramic jar comes from a little ceramic factory that once existed in the town where I was born.My grandfather, who's father worked as a blacksmith in that factory had a tabacco jar like this. These jars come in two sizes and in two colors, green and golden brown.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We never knew a lot about that factory, even the city had little or no interest. After my grandparents dyed and the house was cleared we found several things from that factory but nobody wanted these object because they where oldfashioned. I took home a pair of candlesticks because I found them very charming and an old flowerpot. My mother took home three majolica plates with grapes. How ever took home the tabacco jar I do not know.&lt;br /&gt;But the fact of the matter is that after a while my joungest brother began to have an interest in this factory and started collecting the stuff. I found this tabacco jar in Antwerp in a tiny antique store and my brother was very jalous of it but he took revange and now is an authority on the subject. He has a major collection, hase founded a collecters group and is staging exebitions on the subject of this majolica factory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358228242562477650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SlxAMo9m7lI/AAAAAAAAIsw/BHlHN5pSM4M/s400/6juli2009+005.jpg" border="0" /&gt;You now can understand why this little bulldog in his barrel means so much to mee.

We had a tree with some ornaments and a festive meal and that was it. Now a days with all the influences trought TV and internet and so, Xmas trees and all the decorations are becoming more and more popular.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;So I am just going to show you a lot of pictures of my trees and tablescapes. I don't do a lot of other decorations since this is difficult to manage when you have like me a lot of cats. No family pictures either I'm afraid. Since I am cook and host I don't take pictures at that moment.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Because it is also Foody Friday I am putting a recipie for Chocolate Truffles at the end of the blog.&lt;br /&gt;Since Belgium is know worldwide for its very good chocolates I thought this was appropriate. Sadly there are now pictures of them but believe me these truffles are devine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356522051168973154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SlYwbOt5MWI/AAAAAAAAIqA/-diQNjNrvrY/s400/kerstboom+021.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My first nativity set.

On Ebay I bought from a Canadian lady about 170 handmade snowflakes and it made a fabulous Xmas tree. Some clear glass ball and about 600 white lights finished it off beautifully.

We have laughts a lot with the fun things they do once the Xmas tree is up. I only have glass ornaments and never, ever will buy plastic ones, just because I have 11 cats in the house. Only kittens will try to climb the tree. My big Maine Coons love to sleep under the tree since I always put a fleece as a tree skirt under it.&lt;br /&gt;I must admid, I am at home all the time and at night the cats don't sleep in the livingroom. So that helps a lot. On the other hand I put unbreakeble things and bells at the bottem of the tree. So I can hear when they are in the vicinity of the tree. Here is an impression of a Xmas with the cats!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356521290233631554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 332px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SlYvu8AxU0I/AAAAAAAAIpo/xyUDyklN_UY/s400/blumaen+kerst+kerstbollen+030.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BlumaBlue admires the White Xmas tree&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356524107444842962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SlYyS68Q8dI/AAAAAAAAIqw/Vh4nwWueXz8/s400/IMG_2365.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Gulara, 12 weeks old is the one and only cat ever to climb the tree!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356524634648180850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SlYyxm7VeHI/AAAAAAAAIq4/tKRVVaRtAqQ/s400/kattenkerstballen+028.jpg" border="0" /&gt;The cat Xmas tree.

Chocolade may never cook or become to hot!&lt;br /&gt;Put away in the fridge until the next day. The next day you heat the mixture gently and add the soft butter.&lt;br /&gt;Put in the fridge again until the chocolade mix is hardened.&lt;br /&gt;Then,with a small spoon, you scoop out little balls and quickly roll them in to long our round chapes and dust them with real Dutch cacao powder.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;You can also roll them in chopped pistachio nuts, slivered almonds or coconut. You can also give them something extra by adding a small amount of cherry of raspberry liqueur.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;While forming them, your hand will get messy real quick. Dust your hands with cacao powder or powdered sugar to prevent the chocolade clinging to them. When your hands gets to dirty wash them and then cool them in cold water before starting again. Or you could do it with plastic gloves.The forming of the truffles is a big job so let your bigger kids help. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Put in a nice box and give them to friends and family.&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356522750357661010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SlYxD7Zd5VI/AAAAAAAAIqY/GGwaCac5Bks/s400/kerstboom+2006+en+quils+Hasselt+en+poppy+zwanger+061.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9216458540884826115-6270240947437282344?l=poppedijne.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/feeds/6270240947437282344/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9216458540884826115&amp;postID=6270240947437282344' title='15 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/6270240947437282344'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9216458540884826115/posts/default/6270240947437282344'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://poppedijne.blogspot.com/2009/07/xmas-in-july-and-foody-friday.html' title='Xmas in July and Foody Friday'/><author><name>Poppedijne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15234975200142058829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/R_Y0sZydzeI/AAAAAAAADG4/uZGqd7c8irA/S220/archie+and+anghus+007.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SlbUY-1xVaI/AAAAAAAAIr0/qzFdD1qpUcU/s72-c/ChristmasinJulyBlogButton.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>15</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216458540884826115.post-6297513947688701255</id><published>2009-07-09T10:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-09T10:33:11.698-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='decorating'/><title type='text'>Anne-Fleur's room take 2</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SlYmfKuY0SI/AAAAAAAAIn4/ygw5oSJLfFk/s1600-h/6juli2009+019.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356511123700502818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SlYmfKuY0SI/AAAAAAAAIn4/ygw5oSJLfFk/s400/6juli2009+019.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see our granddaughters room is still not decorated.

I have 2 more tassel shaped ones then you can see on the picture but I have no place to hang them and one is even missing the eye to hang it. They all differ slightly.&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355666888514201426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SlMmqNk151I/AAAAAAAAIhk/JEI6A_LfNTE/s400/3juli2009+020.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later I found the two hands holding grapes.

'l Heure Bleue is a Maine Coon kitten we bred out of mom Patchwork and dad Usquebaugh. His new owners had been on vacation to Indonesia so Bleu had to stay two weeks longer the he normally would have done.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Like all my kittens he loves quilts!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354649908064845058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Sk-JuKLIfQI/AAAAAAAAIgo/C04B71UEFtQ/s400/3juli2009+017.jpg" border="0" /&gt;He has been a pleasure to have in the house. He was the only one in the litter since his little sister died at birth. So he had mom all to him self and that resulted in a very wel fed kitty. He is now 2350 kilo and only 14 weeks old.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;How proud he looks in this picture!&lt;br /&gt;It is a bit sad to let him go, not because he is not going to a good home but because in that new home he will not have any animal friends in the beginning. We never had to bring a kitten of us too a home where there where not other cats or dogs. I am so afraid he will be so lonely in the hours his new tin openers will be at work. I hope he will not be sad and miss his new found girlfriend, Lily to much.&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354650196200042450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/Sk-J-7j6r9I/AAAAAAAAIgw/4Z9g3SOo4KI/s400/3juli2009+036.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A final cuddle in the Loyd Loom chair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lily is our new girl.

She weights a lot less then Bleu but she has had 6 brothers and sisters in the litter and mom was in heath again very soon after she gave birth. So Lily had to fend for food a lot more, as did her brothers and sisters. But she has been gaining weight a lot since she is here. It will be a goodbye for her too. The fact that Bleu was here made the transission to our house much easyer.&lt;br /&gt;Little Bleu will not have this... I can't think to much about it because it makes me sad. He will adjust to being alone very quickly I hope and I know his new parents are very much in love with him and will give him lots of cuddles and take good care of him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bye, bye little men Bleu......

The sauce is made with gorgonzola a famous soft Italian blue cheese. Combined with grapes and orange juice it give's a very special taste to the salad.&lt;br /&gt;Here is the recepie&lt;br /&gt;This salad is enough for 8 people to lunch on or for 12 to 15 people if you have a buffet of some kind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;750 grams of small butterfly pasta shapes&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;4 oranges&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;300 grams of gorgonzola&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;140 ml of cream&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;250 grams of blue seedless grapes&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;250 grams of green seedless grapes&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;125 gram of chopped hazelnuts or macademia or pecan nuts&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1 bunch of selery sticks&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;150 grams of rucola leaves&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First boil the pasta in boiling salted water and drain.&lt;br /&gt;In the mean time you mix the nuts with the grapes and the celary that you cut in small chuncks.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Remove the rind of the cheese.Put a saucepan on the heat and boil the cream with the cheese and the grated rind of one of the oranges and the juice of all the oranges. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351893687634140370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SkW-9A8WnNI/AAAAAAAAISA/AGPrRiTOxwM/s400/13juni2009+017.jpg" border="0" /&gt; Let the cheese melt in the orange juice and stirr until you have a smooth sauce. You need freshly squeesed orange juice for it. Season with pepper and a bit of salt. I put the sauce trough a fine sive to remove the 'blue' parts from the sauce. You could that do before you add the grated rind of the orange, otherwise the orange rind gets sifted out too. &lt;div&gt;Let the sauce cool down a bit but don't put it in the fridge because it will sett.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Half an hour before serving mix the cheese sauce with the pasta and toss the rucola leaves also under the pasta.&lt;br /&gt;You really must add the sauce at the last minute otherwise the sauce is totally absorbed by the pasta and the pastasalad becomes too dry.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Limoncella strawberry's&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351895479605733250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 299px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aR4ftOsPf3E/SkXAlUjrJ4I/AAAAAAAAISQ/9i6kCOom9SQ/s400/13juni2009+009.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Limoncella is the very fragent Italian lemon liqueur that will give that extra fresh and sumery taste to your strawberry's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is such a simple recepie but every time I serve it is a big hit.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For six to 8 little glasses&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;400 grams of strawberry's chopped in small pieces&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1 small bunch of fresh basil leaves&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;50 grams of icing sugar&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;15 cl of limoncella&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;20 cl of water&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Boil the water with the sugar and when it becomes a sirop add the limoncella.&lt;br /&gt;Take from the fire. Let it cool down and put in the fridge to let it get cold.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Half an hour too 1 hour before serving pour this sirop over your strawberry's.Snip the basil in small pieces and sprinkle over the strawberry mixture.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is also very nice to take on a picnic or to a lunchon or so.
