&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Yes, Yes, Yes!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I&#39;m soooo excited!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;It took some months preparing for it and even more time dreaming about it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;But this very blog is moving today.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;It&#39;s moving to it&#39;s own new domain: jcln.nl&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;From now on all new blogposts will be published there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Come on over quick for the housewarming of this blog!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;+ there&#39;s a discount code to celebrate!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OviGkYCQFxI/VSZBygMhT0I/AAAAAAAAHjM/-UzGROfvvlM/s1600/P4090003.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OviGkYCQFxI/VSZBygMhT0I/AAAAAAAAHjM/-UzGROfvvlM/s1600/P4090003.jpg&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; width=&quot;616&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You might think &#39;what&#39;s so interesting about the contents of someone&#39;s bag?&#39;&lt;br /&gt;
Or maybe you&#39;re here because your curious what I carry always carry with me everywhere I go?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;ve just realised that everything I carry with me are in some way favorites of mine. And what you always carry with you, tells a lot about who you are.&lt;br /&gt;
That&#39;s exactly the reason why I like to take a peak into someone elses bag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So today I&#39;m giving you a peak inside mine with all the products I love.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dbuoX-LOk54/VSZBywrS2LI/AAAAAAAAHjI/KTT4w7U4mSA/s1600/P4090025.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dbuoX-LOk54/VSZBywrS2LI/AAAAAAAAHjI/KTT4w7U4mSA/s1600/P4090025.JPG&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What&#39;s inside:&lt;br /&gt;
- My wallet. It&#39;s made from dark brown leather and it still looks great. I think I&#39;ve had this one for more than 5 years now. The only downside is that coins tend to slip out when I open the zipper...&lt;br /&gt;
- I hardly ever leave the house without handcream. I&#39;m a true addict, I admit it. My favorite is the one from Nivea with macadamia in it. So soft!&lt;br /&gt;
- Another must is my lipbalm, especially in the winter. I always use Labello Hydro Care, because it&#39;s always soft and easy to apply.&lt;br /&gt;
- A girl with long hair always carries an elastic hairband with her.&lt;br /&gt;
- And without glass wipes I wouldn&#39;t see a thing after a while.&lt;br /&gt;
- My mobile phone, where would I be without it. Not that I&#39;m glued to my phone, but without it I feel a bit lost.&lt;br /&gt;
- Ah, yes. Notebooks. &lt;a href=&quot;http://stuff-to-love.blogspot.nl/2015/03/what-do-you-collect.html&quot;&gt;You&#39;ve read it a few weeks ago&lt;/a&gt;: I collect them and always have a few in use. I always have a small notebook with me to scribble down to do-lists or ideas.&lt;br /&gt;
- And what&#39;s the use of a notebook without a pen? So I always carry a pen with me, preferably my favorite pens from HEMA.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And for those who wonder where I got that nice bag? I bought it at the Camden Lock Markets in London, but you can find these kind of bags in many places these days.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What&#39;s in your bag? What do you always take with you when you go outside?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
___________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Misschien denk je wel: wat is er zo interessant aan de inhoud van iemands tas?&lt;br /&gt;
Of misschien ben je hier omdat je nieuwsgierig bent naar wat ik altijd me me meeneem?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ik realiseerde me pas dat alles wat ik met me meeneem op een bepaalde manier mijn favorieten zijn. En wat je altijd met je meeneemt, zegt denk ik best veel over wie je bent.&lt;br /&gt;
Dat is ook precies de reden waarom ik het leuk vind om te zien wat er in andermans tas zit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dus vandaag krijg je een kijkje in de mijne met alle producten waar ik zo van houd.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What&#39;s inside:&lt;br /&gt;
- Mijn portemonnee. Hij is gemaakt van donkerbruin leer en hij zit er nog super mooi uit. Ik denk dat ik deze al meer dan vijf jaar gebruik nu. Het enige nadeel eraan is dat er nog wel eens muntje uit willen rollen als ik de rits open doe...&lt;br /&gt;
- Ik ga bijna nooit het huis uit zonder handcreme. Ik ben echt verslaafd, ik geef het toe. Mijn favoriete handcreme is die van Nivea met macadamia erin. Heerlijk zacht!&lt;br /&gt;
- Een andere must have is mijn lippenbalsem, vooral in de winter. Ik gebruik altijd Labello Hydro Care, omdat die altijd zacht is en makkelijk aan te brengen.&lt;br /&gt;
- Een meisje met lang haar neemt altijd een haarelastiekje mee.&lt;br /&gt;
- En zonder mijn brillenpoetsdoekjes zou ik na een tijdje niks meer kunnen zien.&lt;br /&gt;
- Mijn mobiele telefoon, waar zou ik zijn zonder. Niet dat ik aan m&#39;n telefoon vast zit gelijmd, maar zonder voel ik me toch een beetje verloren.&lt;br /&gt;
- Ah, ja. Notitieboekjes. &lt;a href=&quot;http://stuff-to-love.blogspot.nl/2015/03/what-do-you-collect.html&quot;&gt;Zoals je een paar weken geleden hebt kunnen lezen&lt;/a&gt;, verzamel ik ze en heb ik er altijd een paar in gebruik. In mijn tas neem ik altijd een klein boekje mee om to do-lijstjes of ideeen op te schrijven.&lt;br /&gt;
- En wat heb je aan een notitieboekje zonder pen? Ik neem dus altijd een paar pennen mee, het liefst m&#39;n favoriete pennen van de HEMA.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
En mocht je het willen weten: de tas heb ik gekocht bij de Camden Lock Markets in Londen, maar dit soort tassen kun je tegenwoordig op veel plekken vinden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wat zit er in jouw tas? Wat neem jij altijd mee als je de deur uit gaat?</description><link>http://stuff-to-love.blogspot.com/2015/04/whats-in-my-bag.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OviGkYCQFxI/VSZBygMhT0I/AAAAAAAAHjM/-UzGROfvvlM/s72-c/P4090003.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308049005810398822.post-6703639381023985206</guid><pubDate>Thu, 02 Apr 2015 10:57:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2015-04-02T12:57:20.525+02:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">dagboek</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">diary</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">personal</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">persoonlijk</category><title>March Diary</title><description>Wow, March was a month in which a lot happened. Ups and downs, sunshine and stormy weather.&lt;br /&gt;
It was the month of a 5-day holiday with my sister and brother-in-law, celebrating my birthday and enjoying the Spring finding it&#39;s way.&lt;br /&gt;
But also the month in which my dream was shattered, a week ago I learned that studying in London is not going to happen. Everything was arranged, I just had to subscribe. But then my teacher found out that the university in London doesn&#39;t accept students for a study abroad period... It was hard to deal with the first day, but now there&#39;s a chance I will be studying in Stockholm. It&#39;s not London, but I&#39;m sure I&#39;ll be able to create a dream around it. So, fingers crossed that this will be possible...&lt;br /&gt;
Besides all this I&#39;ve been working on a new website! Yes, this blog is going to have it&#39;s own URL, it&#39;s own space on the world wide webs. I hope I&#39;ll be able to finish it in April and release it to you!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xLhngUFabgY/VR0Sr7lxOGI/AAAAAAAAHiQ/1S6HZnrLWUo/s1600/P3050097.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xLhngUFabgY/VR0Sr7lxOGI/AAAAAAAAHiQ/1S6HZnrLWUo/s1600/P3050097.JPG&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
March started really well, with a holiday to the beach with my sister and brother-in-law. It was quite windy, but the sea is always beautiful. We rented a little cottage from Centerparcs, played games there and cooked some nice meals. The first evening we went out for bowling, which I horribly lost. :)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ekbS0jmAxoc/VR0SldYKpII/AAAAAAAAHho/s2QfaRW2wDY/s1600/P3040031.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ekbS0jmAxoc/VR0SldYKpII/AAAAAAAAHho/s2QfaRW2wDY/s1600/P3040031.JPG&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
The second day I unfortunately had to spend most time at school, so we didn&#39;t do that much together.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
The third day we&#39;ve all attented a Segway workshop. At first I had a bit trouble with it, but in the end I did quite well. It&#39;s pretty fun!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xwp5T8tENls/VR0SrN7D_3I/AAAAAAAAHiA/bugQaNao46U/s1600/P3040081.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xwp5T8tENls/VR0SrN7D_3I/AAAAAAAAHiA/bugQaNao46U/s1600/P3040081.JPG&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
In the afternoon we played a nice game of midgetgolf. They had 18 awesome looking holes with a pirate theme. Good times, although in the picture my face looks a bit worried.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xsQzk2vRUhM/VR0Ss0ZvH3I/AAAAAAAAHig/tq1e7-n_pOk/s1600/P3050098.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xsQzk2vRUhM/VR0Ss0ZvH3I/AAAAAAAAHig/tq1e7-n_pOk/s1600/P3050098.JPG&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
The fourth day we rented bikes and cycled through the dunes and beautiful nature.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-keog-E4A1oQ/VR0SH90GIUI/AAAAAAAAHg4/aAnUfZIAa1M/s1600/P3050110.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-keog-E4A1oQ/VR0SH90GIUI/AAAAAAAAHg4/aAnUfZIAa1M/s1600/P3050110.JPG&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&amp;nbsp;We even made some friends! :)&lt;br /&gt;
To be honest: this was a bit scary. We met a pack of about 6 of these on the middle of our road... Luckily we didn&#39;t get eaten. ;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
The last day we packed our bags and on our way back home we visited a history museum and had dinner. A nice finish of a lovely holiday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OtM-In_mtA4/VR0SRVJF5wI/AAAAAAAAHhE/w0NhBx3wFcw/s1600/20150320_233612.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OtM-In_mtA4/VR0SRVJF5wI/AAAAAAAAHhE/w0NhBx3wFcw/s1600/20150320_233612.jpg&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Getting home after a holiday is always nice, especially if I had to miss my Mexy for a few days. She came to sleep right next to me with her cute little face.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

And this was my birthday. It was in the middle of my exams week, so unfortunately there wasn&#39;t much celebrating. But ordering fresh sushi for dinner made it a bit more festive.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
The weekend before I celebrated it with my parents and grandmothers/ And in April I will celebrate it with my sister and some friends.&lt;/div&gt;

Just before my birthday I planted some vegetables and a few days ago there were already some green leaves showing, yay!&lt;/div&gt;

And to finish the month, I&#39;ve treated myself to a lovely yoghurt with cookies, chocolate, kiwi and honey from the Yoghurt Barn, and later on I ordered some Chai tea. Yum!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Wauw, maart was een maand waarin er heel veel gebeurd is. Ups en downs, zonneschijn en storm.&lt;br /&gt;
Het was een maand waarin ik 5 dagen vakantie vierdemet mijn zus en zwager, ik mijn verjaardag vierde en genoot van de eerste tekenen van de lente.&lt;br /&gt;
Maar helaas ook de maand waarin een droom in stukken spatte. Een week geleden kreeg ik te horen dat het studeren in Londen niet doorgaat... Alles was tot zover geregeld, ik hoefde me alleen nog in te schrijven. Maar een docent kwam erachter dat de universiteit in Londen geen studenten aanneemt voor een studieperiode... Dat was wel even een moeilijk bericht om te verwerken, maar nu kijken we weer vooruit. Er is nu waarschijnlijk de mogelijkheid om in Stockholm te studeren. Het is geen Londen, maar ik weet zeker dat ik rondom Stockholm ook een mooie droom kan bouwen. Fingers crossed dus dat dit door mag gaan.&lt;br /&gt;
Verder ben ik deze maand druk bezig geweest met het bouwen aan mijn nieuwe website. Ja! Dit blog krijgt z&#39;n eigen URL, z&#39;n eigen plekje op het wereldwijde web. Ik hoop dat ik het in april allemaal af kan maken en dat de volgende diary op de nieuwe website zal staan!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
We begonnen maart goed met een vakantie in Zandvoort aan zee met m&#39;n zus en zwager. Het was behoorlijk winderig, maar de zee is altijd mooi. We huurden een huisje bij Centerparcs. waar we gezellig spelletjes speelden en lekker kookten. De eerste avond gingen we bowlen, wat ik ernstig verloor. :)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
De tweede dag moest ik helaas de hele dag naar school, dus we hebben niet veel kunnen doen.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
De derde dag namen we deel aan een Segway workshop. In het begin had ik er wat moeite mee, maar al gauw ging &#39;t toch aardig soepel. Erg leuk om te doen!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
Die middag hebben we gemidgetgolfd. Op het park waren 18 super leuke holes die waren aangekleed in een piraten-thema. Super leuk, al ziet m&#39;n gezicht er op de foto een beetje bezorgd uit.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
De vierde dag huurden we fietsen en gingen we de duinen en prachtige natuur in.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
We maakten onderweg zelfs vrienden! :)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Om eerlijk te zijn: dit was best eng. We kwamen een groep van 6 van deze fijne jongens tegen midden op ons fietspad. Gelukkig zijn we niet opgegeten. ;)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
De laatste dag pakten we onze koffertjes weer in en op de terugweg zijn we nog naar het Rijksmuseum der Oudheden geweest en hebben we ter afsluiting lekker wat gegeten. Een mooi einde van een gezellige vakantie.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OtM-In_mtA4/VR0SRVJF5wI/AAAAAAAAHhE/w0NhBx3wFcw/s1600/20150320_233612.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OtM-In_mtA4/VR0SRVJF5wI/AAAAAAAAHhE/w0NhBx3wFcw/s1600/20150320_233612.jpg&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
En na een vakantie is thuiskomen toch ook altijd wel fijn, vooral als ik Mexy heb moeten missen. Ze kwam die avond gezellig naast me slapen met haar lieve koppie.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
En dit was m&#39;n verjaardag. Het was middenin m&#39;n tentamenweek, dus helaas was er niet veel feest. Maar verse sushi bestellen maakte het toch wat feestelijker.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
Het weekend daarvoor had ik het al gevierd met m&#39;n ouders en oma&#39;s. En in april vier ik &#39;t nog met m&#39;n zus en wat vrienden.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
Net voor m&#39;n verjaardag plantte ik wat groentezaadjes en een paar dagen geleden kwamen de eerste blaadjes al uit de grond, yay!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I think humans are collectors by nature, they sometimes do it without knowing it.&lt;br /&gt;
This got me thinking of all the things I collect. I think I collect even more things than I&#39;m aware of.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The one that first came to mind is notebooks and to-do lists. I love to write lists, things I need to remember or ideas that burst into my mind down in a nicely illustrated book. Or one with a lovely pattern. I only use about 3-5 books at a time, so there&#39;s a lot of books ready to be used. But when I see a beautiful one, I can&#39;t help myself, I just have to buy it.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;And I write these things down with my favorite pens from HEMA. The ones with a little soft grip. They write smoothly and I can write for a long time without hurting my fingers.&lt;br /&gt;
My ferret is also a big fan of them, she likes to take them behind my desk and chew on them...&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, back to collections. You may wonder why I call these pens a collection. That&#39;s because when they are empty, I trash the filling and keep the casing of the pens. I still want to do something with them, something artsy and creative, but I haven&#39;t come up with the right idea yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-83Fxvanv-m8/VRVWesIqJAI/AAAAAAAAHgU/Ug0aMjw99qU/s1600/P3270077.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-83Fxvanv-m8/VRVWesIqJAI/AAAAAAAAHgU/Ug0aMjw99qU/s1600/P3270077.JPG&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; width=&quot;440&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another cllection is tea. Since a few years I started drinking tea and especially the ones with a special flavor. Everything with cinnamon in it is a success with me. In London I&#39;ve bought some funky flavors at Yumchaa. Flavors like Raspberry Vanilla, mango Sunrise, Chilli Chilli Bang Bang and Red Chai. There&#39;s more tea than shown in the picture, but I thought simple teabags wouldn&#39;t be that interesting to show. What you see are the crownjewels of my collection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A real collection I have, one that I keep for the sake of just having it, is the issues of Flow Magazine. I have all editions since the magazine started. But the extention of the collection will stop soon, because I will stop my subscription. I still have 10 editions to read, which shows I don&#39;t really have enough time to keep up with all the issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NoKZWdOGBEI/VRVWddp3wkI/AAAAAAAAHgI/HxJBdPITNz8/s1600/P3260022.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NoKZWdOGBEI/VRVWddp3wkI/AAAAAAAAHgI/HxJBdPITNz8/s1600/P3260022.JPG&quot; height=&quot;470&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You&#39;re probably wondering wether there is a creative collection somewhere. Well, I wouldn&#39;t be a creative mind if I didn&#39;t have one. I have a box where I collect all sorts of papers. Ones with beautifull colors, illustrations and patterns. To hang at my wall or use it for scrapping.&lt;br /&gt;
I also, ofcourse, have a big collection of yarns. Much much bigger than the ones you see in the picture. For this year I&#39;ve made myself promise I wouldn&#39;t buy too much new yarn and first work with the yarns I have lying around. Time to clean up a bit!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
What are your collections?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
_________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pas geleden las ik ergens over wat mensen zoal verzamelen en waarom. Ik denk dat mensen van nature verzamelaars zijn, we doen &#39;t soms zelfs zonder dat we &#39;t door hebben.&lt;br /&gt;
Hierdoor ging ik nadenken over wat ik zelf zoal verzamel. Ik denk dat ik meer verzamel dan waar ik me zo 1-2-3 bewust van ben.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
De eerste verzameling waar ik aan moest denken zijn notitieboekjes en to-do lijstjes. Ik vind het heerlijk om lijstjes te maken. Dingen die ik nog moet doen of onthouden of ideeen die spontaan in mijn hoofd opkomen schrijf ik het liefst op in een mooi notitieboekje met mooie illustraties of patroontjes. Ik gebruik ongeveer 3-5 boekjes tegelijkertijd, dus er zijn nog genoeg boekjes voor de toekomst. Maar als ik een mooie tegenkom, kan ik mezelf niet stoppen, dan moet ik &#39;m kopen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
En ik schrijf al deze dingen op met mijn favoriete pennen van de HEMA. Die ene met zo&#39;n zachte grip. Ze schrijven soepel en ik kan er heel lang mee schrijven zonder m&#39;n vingers pijn te doen.&lt;br /&gt;
M&#39;n fret is er ook een groot fan van, ze sleept ze mee achter m&#39;n bureau en gaat er daar lekker op liggen kauwen...&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, terug naar de verzameling. Je vraagt je misschien af waarom ik die pennen een verzameling noem. Dat is omdat als ze op zijn, ik de vulling weggooi en de pen zelf bewaar. Ik wil er nog steeds iets leuk mee doen, iets kunstigs en creatiefs, maar ik heb nog niet het juiste idee daarvoor gehad.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Een andere verzameling is thee. Sinds een aantal jaar drink ik thee en het liefste thee met een speciaal smaakje. Alles met kaneel erin is eigenlijk wel een succes bij mij. In Londen kocht ik een aantal funky smaakjes bij Yumchaa. Smaakjes als Raspberry Vanilla, mango Sunrise, Chilli Chilli Bang Bang and Red Chai. Ik heb veel meer smaakjes thee dan je op de foto ziet, maar ik dacht dat gewone theezakjes niet heel bijzonder zouden zijn. Wat je hier ziet zijn de kroonjuwelen van mijn collectie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Een echte verzameling die ik heb, eentje die ik heb gewoon voor het hebben, is de edities van Flow magazine. Ik heb alle edities sinds dat het tijdschrift is begonnen. Maar aan de uitbreiding van die collectie komt binnenkort een einde, omdat ik mijn abonnement ga stoppen. Ik heb nog zo&#39;n 10 edities liggen om te lezen, wat laat zien dat ik eigenlijk niet genoeg tijd heb om ze allemaal te lezen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nu vraag je je natuurlijk ook af of ik niet een creatieve verzameling heb. Nou, ik zou geen creatief brein zijn als dat niet zo was. Ik heb een doos vol met allerlei soorten papier. Met mooie kleuren, tekeningen en patroontjes. Om ooit op te hangen of creatief mee te scrappen.&lt;br /&gt;
En natuurlijk heb ik ook een grote collectie wolletjes. De verzameling is veel, veel groter dan je op de foto ziet. Voor dit jaar heb ik met mezelf afgesproken dat ik niet teveel nieuwe wolletjes zou kopen en eerst de projecten ga maken met de wol die ik al heb liggen. Tijd om een beetje op te ruimen!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wPBWEVFiMIk/VM1CuLHz2HI/AAAAAAAAHb4/fJPoAGkvpxA/s1600/DIY%2Bdecoration%2Byarn%2Bword%2B1.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wPBWEVFiMIk/VM1CuLHz2HI/AAAAAAAAHb4/fJPoAGkvpxA/s1600/DIY%2Bdecoration%2Byarn%2Bword%2B1.JPG&quot; height=&quot;250&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;What you need:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
- Metal wire&lt;br /&gt;
- Scissors or tongs&lt;br /&gt;
- yarn&lt;br /&gt;
- some hobby glue or super glue&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;b&gt;Instructions:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VHhYjj7ZDBo/VM1CtuXhEGI/AAAAAAAAHbw/xKkL-btsiIk/s1600/DIY%2Bdecoration%2Byarn%2Bword%2B2.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VHhYjj7ZDBo/VM1CtuXhEGI/AAAAAAAAHbw/xKkL-btsiIk/s1600/DIY%2Bdecoration%2Byarn%2Bword%2B2.JPG&quot; height=&quot;129&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;1. Bend the wire into the word you want to form (or shape). It doesn&#39;t need to be perfect, you can always reshape it later.&lt;br /&gt;
2. Wrap the word with the yarn. I wrapped mine twice to make the letters stand out more.&lt;br /&gt;
3. Finish it of with a little bow. I glued the bow to make it stay a certain way.&lt;br /&gt;
4. Reshape it until all letters are according to your wishes and try to make it flat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
_______________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Benodigdheden:&lt;br /&gt;
- metaaldraad&lt;br /&gt;
- schaar of tang&lt;br /&gt;
- wol&lt;br /&gt;
- wat hobbylijm of secondelijm&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Instructies:&lt;br /&gt;
1. Buig het draad tot het gewenste woord gevormd is. Het hoeft niet perfect te zijn, je kunt het altijd nog weer een beetje bij buigen.&lt;br /&gt;
2. Wikkel de wol om je woord heen. Ik heb de mijne twee keer omwikkeld zodat de letters wat beter tot hun recht komen.&lt;br /&gt;
3. Maak het af met een mooi strikje. Ik heb &#39;t strikje met een beetje lijm in een bepaalde positie vastgezet.&lt;br /&gt;
4. Buig de letters een beetje bij totdat het naar wens is en maak het gehele woord een beetje plat.</description><link>http://stuff-to-love.blogspot.com/2015/03/diy-decorational-yarn-wrapped-wire-words.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1fbY5x9VhxI/VM1CjUX2v8I/AAAAAAAAHbo/IlWNN4LxQ3A/s72-c/DIY%2Bdecoration%2Byarn%2Bword%2B4.JPG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308049005810398822.post-5451095200116929794</guid><pubDate>Fri, 06 Mar 2015 21:25:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2015-03-06T22:25:03.189+01:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">dagboek</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">diary</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">personal</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">persoonlijk</category><title>February Diary</title><description>February was a month with a lot of time spent studying. A new semester started with a whole new class and preparation-intensive courses. So a lot of time was spent with my nose in the books.&lt;br /&gt;
Also, this month was the 55th birthday of the student association I&#39;m a part of. This meant a month filled with awesome activities. Lots of games, special meals, gatherings &amp;amp; fun.&lt;br /&gt;
So there&#39;s not so much pictures this month.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;nbsp;For a contest with the student association there was an assignment where we had to buy a Domtorentje, which is a big churc tower in our city. I was smart and bought a chocolate that carries the name Domtorentje. And it was also delicious, yum!&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;nbsp;Mexy was cute as ever. I put her in the basket I have hanging on my wall and she was a bit scared for how wobbly it was. Sweet girl.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;nbsp;Because the tire of my bike was flat one week, I walked to school on a lovely sunny dat. I ate my lunch in a park &amp;amp; enjoyed the season.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

During this walk &amp;amp; luch I especially enjoyed the Spring flowers that are coming out of the ground,&lt;a href=&quot;http://stuff-to-love.blogspot.nl/2015/02/spring-flowers-all-around-me.html&quot;&gt; as you could have seen last week&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

I also made a bit of art. This piece is called &#39;A Gallaxy of Color&#39; and shows my love for color in my life.&lt;br /&gt;

Last weekend my sister and I made a garden basket at a DIY store. We had lots of fun and the result was great!&lt;br /&gt;

This month there will probably be more pictures. This week I&#39;m on holiday (in between the lessons) and in the end of the month it&#39;s my birthday. Enjoy March!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
____________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Februari was een maand waarin ik veel tijd aan mijn studie moest besteden. Een nieuw semester begon met een hele nieuwe klas en lessen die veel voorbereiding kostten. Dus ik zat vele uren met de neus in de boeken.&lt;br /&gt;
Ook deze maand vierden we het 55 jarige bestaan van de studentenvereniging waar ik lid van ben. Dit betekende een maand gvuld met waanzinnige activiteiten. Veel spelletjes, speciale maaltijden, bijeenkomsten &amp;amp; gezelligheid.&lt;br /&gt;
Dus deze maand zijn er niet heel veel foto&#39;s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bij de foto&#39;s:&lt;br /&gt;
- Voor een spel met de studentenvereniging moesten we een Domtorentje kopen. Ik was slim en kocht een chocolaatje met die naam. En hij was nog lekker ook!&lt;br /&gt;
- Mexy was weer schattig als altijd. Ik had haar in mijn hangende basket gezet en al dat gewiebel vond ze maar eng. M&#39;n lieve meisje.&lt;br /&gt;
- Door een lekke voorband ben ik op een zonnige dag gaan lopen naar school en heb ik in een park gelunchd. Heerlijk genieten.&lt;br /&gt;
- Tijdens bovengenoemde wandeling kwam ik allerlei mooie lentebloemen tegen, &lt;a href=&quot;http://stuff-to-love.blogspot.nl/2015/02/spring-flowers-all-around-me.html&quot;&gt;zoals je vorige week hebt kunnen lezen&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
- Ik maakte ook een kunstwerkje met de naam &#39;A Galaxy of Color&#39; dat mijn liefde voor kleur laat zien.&lt;br /&gt;
- Het laatste weekend maakte ik samen met mijn zusje een kweek-basket bij Karwei. Veel lol en een fijne samenwerking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;&lt;u style=&quot;line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;Crafts&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;: Ik ben nog steeds aan het haken aan mijn Chevron deken en aan het breien aan de sjaal met lint garen. Niet heel veel vooruitgang deze maand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Komende maand is er waarschijnlijk meer te vertellen. Deze week op vakantie (tussen de lessen door) en aan het eind van de maand mijn verjaardag. Geniet van maart!</description><link>http://stuff-to-love.blogspot.com/2015/03/february-diary.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lavdvpXPQdU/VPIIEvzQuhI/AAAAAAAAHdk/X8Oe8NVpQPQ/s72-c/20150213_145952.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308049005810398822.post-2858293576292537536</guid><pubDate>Thu, 26 Feb 2015 12:47:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2015-02-26T13:57:52.739+01:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">enjoy</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">fotografie</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">geniet</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">lente</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">photography</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">spring</category><title>Spring Flowers All Around Me</title><description>Last week seemed to be Spring Flower Week around me.&lt;br /&gt;
Suddenly flowers popped out of the ground and were fighting their way through old Autumn leaves.&lt;br /&gt;
With their gorgeous faces the look out into the world, feeling proud to bring a smile to people&#39;s faces.&lt;br /&gt;
Because yes, Spring is coming. Birds are singing their songs of Spring being close. It&#39;s lovely and delights my heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Look around you and enjoy the first signs of Spring!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Afgelopen week was het blijkbaar lentebloemen week om mij heen.&lt;br /&gt;
Opeens staken bloemen hun kopjes boven de grond uit, vechtend tussen de oude herfstbladeren door.&lt;br /&gt;
Met hun mooie gezichtjes zich uitstrekkend naar de wereld, zich trots voelend dat ze mensen laten glimlachen.&lt;br /&gt;
Want ja, de lente komt eraan. Vogels zingen hun lied over de lente die steeds dichterbij is. Het is heerlijk en brengt zon in mijn hart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kijk om je heen en geniet van de eerste tekenen van de lente!</description><link>http://stuff-to-love.blogspot.com/2015/02/spring-flowers-all-around-me.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4bUH73mz9bs/VO8UDU3MH0I/AAAAAAAAHdM/BjxeGqTHzXQ/s72-c/Spring%2BFlowers.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308049005810398822.post-3407698502300409658</guid><pubDate>Fri, 20 Feb 2015 19:21:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2015-02-20T20:21:13.880+01:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">inspiratie</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">inspiration</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">personal</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">persoonlijk</category><title>Where do I find inspiration?</title><description>&lt;div&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;(right-click to save the image or hover over the pin-button to pin it to Pinterest)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Inspiration, it&#39;s a beautiful word. It&#39;s always positive and it&#39;s something that enriches your life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
I&#39;ve been thinking about from which places I get inspiration and I&#39;ve written it down for you.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
I get isnpired by many things and places.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
I love to walk around Utrecht, especially the old part of the city. And every time I have to chose where to go, I look around an pick the street that looks most interesting or one I&#39;ve never set foot in before. There&#39;s always things that surprise you or catch your eye.&amp;nbsp;+ Wandering around empties your mind and makes space for new thoughts.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
The same ofcourse counts for other big cities, especially with an old historic part. Like Amsterdam, Den Haag, Haarlem and ofcourse London.&lt;br /&gt;
Oh, and always bring a notebook and pen with you to write down all amazing ideas that pop up into your head!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Or I walk around stores like IKEA, craft stores, the art &amp;amp; craft section of warehouses and stationery stores. I could wander around for hours. And in case of IKEA I treat myself to some Swedish meatballs after. Also very inspiring. :)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
If I want to find inspiration closer to home, I browse through magazines (Flow Magazine is my favorite), a few of my favorite blogs or I scroll through Pinterest. About Pinterest, it&#39;s a great idea to see from who you repin most and then see who that person is following. That might lead you to a whole new source of ideas.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
But some things are very important to keep in mind when you&#39;re looking for inspiration:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
- Don&#39;t search for that one thing, be open minded&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
- Be relaxed, don&#39;t stress about it. Inspiration for whatever will find you at the right time and place&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
- And as you can see from the downloadable quote above: Sometimes not looking for inspiration is the best way to get inspired. Inspiration can and will strike you in any place you&#39;re not searching for it. Be prepared to be surprised.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Where do you look for inspiration? Share it in the comments below.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
___________________________________________________&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Inspiratie, wat een mooi woord. het is altijd positief en het is iets dat je leven verrijkt.&lt;br /&gt;
Ik heb nagedacht over waar ik mijn inspiratie vandaan haal en heb het allemaal opgeschreven.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ik vind inspiratie in veel dingen en op allerlei plekken.&lt;br /&gt;
Ik vind het heerlijk om door Utrecht te lopen, vooral het oude gedeelte van de stad. En elke keer als ik moet kiezen waar ik heen ga, kijk ik om me heen en kies ik de straat die er het interessantst uitziet of eentje waarin ik nog nooit een stap gezet heb. Er is altijd wel iets wat je verrast of wat je aandacht trekt.&amp;nbsp;+ Rondstruinen maakt je hoofd leeg, zodat er ruimte is voor nieuwe gedachten.&lt;br /&gt;
Hetzelfde geldt natuurlijk voor andere grotere steden, vooral als ze een historisch gedeelte hebben. Zoals Amsterdam, Den Haag, Haarlem en natuurlijk Londen.&lt;br /&gt;
Oh, vergeet niet om altijd een notitieboekje en pen mee te nemen om je geniale ideeën in op te schrijven als ze in je brein opkomen!&lt;br /&gt;
Of ik loop door winkels als IKEA, craft stores, de creatieve afdeling van warenhuizen en boekhandels. Ik kan er uren rondhangen. En in het geval van IKEA trakteer ik mezelf daarna graag op een portie zweedse balletjes. Ook erg inspirerend. :)&lt;br /&gt;
Als ik op zoek ben naar inspiratie dichter bij huis, dan blader ik door tijdschriften (Flow Magazine is mijn favoriet), lees ik een paar van mijn favoriete blogs of scroll ik een tijdje door Pinterest heen. Over Pinterest gesproken, het is een goed idee om eens te kijken van wie je nou de meeste plaatjes repint en kijk dan wie deze persoon zelf volgt. Zo heb je heel veel bronnen met ideeën&amp;nbsp;die je kunt aanboren.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Een aantal zaken zijn in het bijzonder belangrijk om in gedachten te houden als je op zoek bent naar inspiratie:&lt;br /&gt;
- Ga niet op zoek naar dat ene ding, houd je geest open&lt;br /&gt;
- Ontpan, ga niet lopen stressen. Inspiratie voor wat dan ook zal jou vinden op het juiste moment en de juiste plaats&lt;br /&gt;
- En zoals je in de quote hierboven kunt lezen: soms is het niet op zoek gaan naar inspiratie, de beste manier om inspiratie te vinden. Inspiratie kan en zal je vinden op elke plek waar je er niet naar zoekt. Wees bereid om verrast te worden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Waar zoek jij naar inspiratie? Deel het in de reacties hieronder.&lt;/div&gt;

It started with learning for my exams, taking the exams and yes, passing them! Yay!&lt;br /&gt;
Besides those exams there was no school for this girl this month. So, that means, a lot of time to spend on the blog &amp;amp; etsy shop. With the help of &lt;a href=&quot;http://heartmadeblog.com/life-is-messy-challenge/&quot;&gt;Mayi Carles&#39; Free 5 Day Life is Messy Challenge&lt;/a&gt; I&#39;ve set goals for this year, found out my super powers and envisioned what I want my future to look like. With these basics I&#39;ve planned bigger tasks throughout the year and cut them up in smaller pieces to tackle each month. It&#39;s really been a big help. A must for any blogger or creative business owner.&lt;br /&gt;
Enough talking, time for some pics!&lt;br /&gt;

Let&#39;s start with a picture of the cutest ferret on this planet (although I might be a little biased).&lt;br /&gt;

In January I started another challenge, I&#39;ll be doing a writing exercise every day, some just for fun and others will turn into blog post. This exercise was particularly fun. I had to take a book, open it somewhere and blindly point at a sentence. This sentence were the starting words of a story I had to write with it. At first I was scared, but it turned out great!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

I also received another Christmas hamper, a little late though. But it was a lovely one, lots of fairtrade products, a lovely olive wood cutting board and a cookbook with little bitesize recipes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

I made some crocheted hearts for Valentine&#39;s Day. In the webshop you can buy &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.etsy.com/listing/218473117/set-of-6-crocheted-hearts-valentines-day?&quot;&gt;sets of crocheted hearts&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.etsy.com/listing/219809136/valentines-day-card-with-crocheted-heart?&quot;&gt;cards with a crocheted heart&lt;/a&gt; on them.&lt;br /&gt;

During this month I made several walks, also when the snow came falling down. The poor mailman still had to do it&#39;s job...&lt;br /&gt;

I love when it&#39;s been snowing, how the snow rests on the branches of trees. Especially the tree in front of my room.&lt;br /&gt;

I made a piece of decoration for my mom. Very easy to make, a DIY will be on the blog in some time.&lt;br /&gt;

On the last Saturday of the month my mom and me made a little wooden house at a workshop from a DIY store. Really love it!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Januari, de eerste maand van 2015.&lt;br /&gt;
Het begon met leren voor m&#39;n tentamens, tentamens maken en ja, tentamens halen. Yay!&lt;br /&gt;
Naast deze tentamens was er weinig school voor deze meid in januari. Dus, dat betekent veel tijd om aan de blog en etsy shop te besteden. Met de hulp van &lt;a href=&quot;http://heartmadeblog.com/life-is-messy-challenge/&quot;&gt;Mayi Carles&#39; gratis &#39;5 Day Life is Messy Challenge&#39;&lt;/a&gt; heb ik doelen gesteld voor dit jaar, m&#39;n super powers ontdekt en schreef ik een visie voor waar ik in de toekomst wil zijn. Met deze basis heb ik grotere taken door het hele jaar gepland en ze opgedeeld in kleinere stukjes waar ik elke maand mee bezig kan. Het heeft me erg geholpen, een must voor elke blogger en eigenaar van een creatieve business.&lt;br /&gt;
Genoeg geklets, tijd voor foto&#39;s!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;
&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;
&lt;u&gt;Bij de foto&#39;s:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;
- Laten we beginnen met een foto van het liefste fretje van deze planeet (al ben ik wel een beetje bevooroordeeld...)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;
- In januari begon ik een andere uitdaging. Ik begon met elke dag een schrijfopdracht te doen, sommigen voor de leuk en sommigen eindigen als een blog post hier. De opdracht op deze foto was bijzonder leuk. Ik moest een boek pakken, die ergens openslaan en blind een zin aanprikken. Deze zin was het begin van een verhaal dat ik verder mocht schrijven. In het begin vond ik &#39;t eng, maar het was uiteindelijk erg leuk!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;
- Ik ontving nog een kerstpakken (van een bon van m&#39;n werk van 2 jaar geleden, ik had eindelijk een keus gemaakt). Het ws een erg leuk pakket: veel fairtrade producten, een mooie olijfhouten snijplank en een kookboekje met recepten voor kleine hapjes.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;
- Ik maakte wat gehaakte hartjes voor Valentijnsdag. In de webshop kun je nu &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.etsy.com/listing/218473117/set-of-6-crocheted-hearts-valentines-day?&quot;&gt;sets van gehaakte hartjes&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;en&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.etsy.com/listing/219809136/valentines-day-card-with-crocheted-heart?&quot;&gt;kaarten met gehaakte hartjes&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;kopen.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;
- De afgelopen maand heb ik ook een aantal wandelingen in de buurt gemaakt, ook als &#39;t gesneeuwd had. De arme postbode moest gewoon z&#39;n werk doen.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;
- Ik vind het heerlijk als &#39;t gesneeuwd heeft, prachtig hoe de sneeuw op de takken blijft liggen. Vooral op de boom die voor mijn raam staat.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;
- Ik maakte een decoratie stuk voor m&#39;n moeder. Erg makkelijk om te maken, de DIY komt binnenkort op de blog te staan.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;
- De laatste zaterdag van deze maand maakten m&#39;n moeder en ik een houten huisje bij een workshop van Karwei. Hij is erg leuk geworden!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b2b2b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;&lt;u style=&quot;line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;Crafts&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;: Ik begon eindelijk aan een gehaakte deken voor mezelf, maar dat project ligt inmiddels alweer aan de kant. Ik ben nu bezig met een gehaakte sjaal met een soort lint-achtig garen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b2b2b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;&lt;u style=&quot;line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;Books&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;: Tuesday&#39;s Gone is uit. Ik ben nu begonnen in Waiting for Wednesday van Nicci French.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b2b2b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;&lt;u style=&quot;line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;Movies/series&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;:&amp;nbsp;Wie is de Mol, Men in Black 3, The Help, Jackie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The last month I&#39;ve spend quite some time to figure out what I want and how to make that work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As you have read in &lt;a href=&quot;http://stuff-to-love.blogspot.nl/2015/01/memories-of-2014-plans-for-2015.html&quot;&gt;my plans for 2015&lt;/a&gt; I will be celebrating blog and shop milestones, creating new items for the Etsy shop and really get focussed on making progress.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the conclusions I&#39;ve made, is that I want the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jcln.etsy.com/&quot;&gt;JCLN Etsy shop&lt;/a&gt; to be more clear about what it is.&lt;br /&gt;
The last 2 years I&#39;ve been making and selling everything handmade that I wanted to. But it hasn&#39;t really helped to have a clear vision for my shop.&lt;br /&gt;
So from now on I&#39;m going to change some things.&lt;br /&gt;
The JCLN Etsy shop will only sell handmade products that are either knitted or crocheted, or have at least anything to do with these techniques.&lt;br /&gt;
But I won&#39;t just delete all the other items. Before I do so, there will be a big FINAL SALE on the non-knit and non-crochet items. This sale will give you 40% discount on those items!&lt;br /&gt;
The sale will run from February 2nd 0.00 (GMT+1) till February 16th 23.59 (GMT+1).&lt;br /&gt;
And that&#39;s not all. If you are &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogspot.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=78ff7e16bcab26449501a0bdb&amp;amp;id=653e4d5479&quot;&gt;subscribed to the free JCLN Newsletter&lt;/a&gt;, then you&#39;ll receive an additional 10% off the sale items and 10% off all other items!&lt;br /&gt;
So if you&#39;re smart, you &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogspot.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=78ff7e16bcab26449501a0bdb&amp;amp;id=653e4d5479&quot;&gt;subscribe now&lt;/a&gt; and you&#39;ll receive the bonus discount code during the time the sale runs.&lt;br /&gt;
See you then!&lt;br /&gt;

_______________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Januari is altijd de maand waarin mensen doelen stellen en nadenken over hoe ze deze doelen werkelijkheid willen maken.&lt;br /&gt;
De afgelopen maand heb ik dat ook nagedacht over wat ik wil en hoe ik dat ga aanpakken.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zoals je hebt gelezen in &lt;a href=&quot;http://stuff-to-love.blogspot.nl/2015/01/memories-of-2014-plans-for-2015.html&quot;&gt;mijn plannen voor 2015&lt;/a&gt; vieren we dit jaar blog en shop mijlpalen, komen er nieuwe items voor de Etsy shop en wil ik me echt gaan focussen op vooruitgang boeken.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eén van de conclusies die ik heb getrokken, is dat ik meer duidelijkheid wil brengen in de &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jcln.etsy.com/&quot;&gt;JCLN Etsy shop&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
De afgelopen twee jaar heb ik allerlei dingen gemaakt en verkocht die ik maar leuk vond. Maar dit heeft niet echt bijgedragen aan een duidelijke visie voor mijn shop.&lt;br /&gt;
Dus vanaf nu gaan we dat anders doen.&lt;br /&gt;
De JCLN Etsy shop zal alleen nog maar handgemaakte producten verkopen die gehaakt of gebreid zijn, of die op z&#39;n minst iets met die technieken te maken hebben.&lt;br /&gt;
Maar ik ga niet zomaar al die andere items deleten. Voordat ik dat doe, komt er een grote FINALE SALE voor de niet-gebreide en niet-gehaakte items. Deze sale geeft je maar liefst 40% korting op deze items!&lt;br /&gt;
De sale loopt van 2 februari 0.00 uur tot 16 februari 23.59 uur.&lt;br /&gt;
En dat is niet alles. Als je je hebt &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogspot.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=78ff7e16bcab26449501a0bdb&amp;amp;id=653e4d5479&quot;&gt;ingeschreven voor de gratis JCLN nieuwsbrief&lt;/a&gt;, dan ontvang je een extra 10% korting op de items in de sale en ook 10% korting op alle andere items!&lt;br /&gt;
Dus als je slim bent: &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogspot.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=78ff7e16bcab26449501a0bdb&amp;amp;id=653e4d5479&quot;&gt;schrijf je nu in&lt;/a&gt; en je ontvangt de code voor de bonuskorting gedurende de periode van de sale.&lt;br /&gt;
Ik zie je dan!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A few days ago I was looking for a knitting pattern that would perfectly fit the yarn I had&amp;nbsp;+ the idea I had in my head.&lt;br /&gt;
When this situation occurs, I have some websites I always visit to get inspiration for patterns and instructions on how to use them.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Een aantal dagen geleden was ik op zoek naar een leuk breipatroon dat perfect zou passen bij de garen die ik had&amp;nbsp;+ het idee dat in mijn hoofd zat.&lt;br /&gt;
Als zulke situaties zich voordoen, zijn er een aantal websites die ik sowieso bezoek om inspiratie te vinden en instructies over hoe je ze zelf kunt toepassen.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Why do I blog? Good question...&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;ve aksed myself this question for many times, but I never really found the right answer for it.&lt;br /&gt;
Before, I said I blogged because I like to share my creativity and fun things with the world. Later I added that I&#39;d like to inspire people with my creativity and that I wanted to show people that it&#39;s not that hard to make things yourself.&lt;br /&gt;
All true, but lately I found out the real reason why I blog.&lt;br /&gt;
And that is because it&#39;s a way to challenge myself, keep doing new things and visit places or events.&lt;br /&gt;
By planning blog posts I try to think about new things I like or want to do or learn. My blog motivates me to keep moving and not to let my life just be.&lt;br /&gt;
I personally know people who&#39;s hobby is gaming. All their free time seems to be taken up by playing games and chatting about it in forums. I hope I don&#39;t offend anyone by saying this, but to me that sounds like a bit boring. Ofcourse that&#39;s a matter of the point of view, but I&#39;m happy that is not my hobby.&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;m happy that my hobby is blogging and creating products that will put a smile on peoples faces. I love how this keeps my weeks alive, that there&#39;s always something to work towards and that it challenges me to keep learning and doing things I wouldn&#39;t have done without my blog.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because of my blog I feel more alive.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Waarom ik blog? Goede vraag...&lt;br /&gt;
Ik heb mijzelf diezelfde vraag vele malen gesteld, maar ik vond eigenlijk nooit het goede antwoord.&lt;br /&gt;
Voorheen zei ik altijd dat ik blogde omdat ik het leuk vond om m&#39;n creativiteit met de wereld te delen. Later voegde ik hieraan toe dat ik graag mensen wil inspireren en wil laten zien dat het helemaal niet moeilijk is om zelf dingen te maken.&lt;br /&gt;
Allemaal waar, maar kort geleden ontdekte ik de echte reden waarom ik blog.&lt;br /&gt;
En dat is omdat het bloggen een manier is om mezelf uit te dagen, om nieuwe dingen te blijven doen en leuke plekken en events te bezoeken.&lt;br /&gt;
Door het plannen van mijn blogposts bedenk ik leuke nieuwe dingen die ik wil doen of leren. Mijn blog motiveert me om in beweging te blijven en om het leven niet zomaar voorbij te laten vliegen.&lt;br /&gt;
Ik ken persoonlijk mensen wiens hobby het is om games te spelen. Al hun vrije tijd lijkt te worden opslokt door het spelen van spelletjes en daarover praten op fora. Ik hoop dat ik niemand beledig als ik zeg dat dat mij een beetje saai lijkt. Natuurlijk is dat een kwestie van &#39;point of view&#39;, maar ik ben blij dat dat niet mijn hobby is.&lt;br /&gt;
Ik ben blij dat is als hobby mag bloggen en producten mag maken die mensen een glimlach op hun gezicht geven. Ik vind het heerlijk hoe dit mijn weken levendig houdt, dat er altijd iets is om naartoe te werken en dat het me uitdaagt om te blijven leren en dingen te doen die ik zonder mijn blog nooit had gedaan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Doordat ik blog voel ik dat ik leef.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Jw8LeXP408A/VLaK2LpNGlI/AAAAAAAAHYY/QKf523dn2JE/s1600/P1140041.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Jw8LeXP408A/VLaK2LpNGlI/AAAAAAAAHYY/QKf523dn2JE/s1600/P1140041.JPG&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Love, sweet gifts and a little extra attention to you loved ones. That&#39;s what Valentine&#39;s Day is about.&lt;br /&gt;
And to help you make Valentine&#39;s Day extra special this year, I&#39;ve created an item that I think everyone can use.&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;ve made sets of 6 crocheted hearts, three 3D hearts and 3 flat hearts. And today I&#39;ll show you 5 different ways how you can use them.&lt;br /&gt;
If you like the hearts, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.etsy.com/listing/218473117/set-of-6-crocheted-hearts-valentines-day?&quot;&gt;you can get them here&lt;/a&gt;. But be quick, there&#39;s only one set of each color!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here&#39;s 5 ways you can surprises your loved one (or yourself) with these cute hearts:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Voo2b4Psq7c/VLaK2BRtgiI/AAAAAAAAHYU/ZcJOy41u55A/s1600/P1140054.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Voo2b4Psq7c/VLaK2BRtgiI/AAAAAAAAHYU/ZcJOy41u55A/s1600/P1140054.JPG&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&amp;nbsp;1. Decorate the room with the hearts. Add some candles or flowers and success is guaranteed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-u8FmANIp1hA/VLaK2GvWOaI/AAAAAAAAHYc/RaVQnjtFUxY/s1600/P1140071.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-u8FmANIp1hA/VLaK2GvWOaI/AAAAAAAAHYc/RaVQnjtFUxY/s1600/P1140071.JPG&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; width=&quot;512&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&amp;nbsp;2. Make your own card and glue a crocheted heart to it. You can easily do this with regular craft glue or super glue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3Kx9AGQLGmw/VLaK2yns8rI/AAAAAAAAHYk/Ynpa_ZtO4Ic/s1600/P1140099.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3Kx9AGQLGmw/VLaK2yns8rI/AAAAAAAAHYk/Ynpa_ZtO4Ic/s1600/P1140099.JPG&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&amp;nbsp;3. Give the hearts away. One for your mom and one for your best friend. Or maybe put one in the jacket of your secret lover!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lbd8vdr9he0/VLaK4uhCjEI/AAAAAAAAHY8/GIu8JEHFUv8/s1600/P1140116.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lbd8vdr9he0/VLaK4uhCjEI/AAAAAAAAHY8/GIu8JEHFUv8/s1600/P1140116.JPG&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&amp;nbsp;4. Set out a trail in the house for your lover to follow. And at the end, there&#39;s you with a rose. I&#39;m sure it will bring a smile and glow to the face of your true love.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dwXJnzV6DUk/VLaK3sjNGOI/AAAAAAAAHYo/scPTgkixQHs/s1600/P1140124.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dwXJnzV6DUk/VLaK3sjNGOI/AAAAAAAAHYo/scPTgkixQHs/s1600/P1140124.JPG&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
5. Put one of the hearts on a necklace, pack it in a little box and wrap it with a lovely ribbon. Perfect to use as a gift.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would you do with these cute hearts?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Liefde, lieve cadeautjes en een beetje extra aandacht aan de mensen van wie je houdt. Dat is waar Valentijnsdag over gaat.&lt;br /&gt;
En om je te helpen deze Valentijnsdag extra bijzonder te maken dit jaar, heb ik iets gemaakt wat denk ik door iedereen wel te gebruiken is.&lt;br /&gt;
Ik heb sets gemaakt van 6 gehaakte hartjes, drie 3D hartjes en 3 plattere hartjes. En vandaag zal ik 5 manieren laten zien hoe je ze kunt gebruiken.&lt;br /&gt;
Als je de hartjes leuk vindt, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.etsy.com/listing/218473117/set-of-6-crocheted-hearts-valentines-day?&quot;&gt;je kunt ze hier kopen&lt;/a&gt;. Maar je moet wel snel zijn, want er is maar 1 set van elke kleur!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dit zijn de 5 ideeen hoe je je geliefde (of jezelf) kunt verrassen met deze schattige hartjes:&lt;br /&gt;
1. Gebruik de hartjes als decoratie in je huis. Erg leuk te combineren met kaarsjes of bloemen. Succes gegarandeerd!&lt;br /&gt;
2. Maak je eigen Valentijnskaart en plak er een hartje op. Dit kan heel makkelijk met gewone hobbylijm of met secondelijm.&lt;br /&gt;
3. Geef de hartjes weg, aan je moeder en je beste vriendin. Of stop &#39;m stiekem in de jaszak van je geheime liefde!&lt;br /&gt;
4. Zet een spoor uit met de hartjes en laat je geliefde die volgen. En aan het einde sta jij natuurlijk met een mooie roos te wachten. Ik weet zeker dat je ware liefde glunderend op je af zal komen lopen.&lt;br /&gt;
5. Doe een hartje aan een kettinkje, stop &#39;m in een doosje en doe er een mooi lint omheen. Een perfect cadeautje.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wat zou jij doen met deze leuke hartjes?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Way, way after all the other bloggers have reviewed 2014, it&#39;s now my time to hit publish on this blog post. It took me a little longer, but I also looked back to the past year and looked to the plans I have for 2015.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Memories of 2014&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
- One of the best memories from last year: London. 10 full days in the city I love and I stayed at my friend Rasa. It was my second visit to London and this time I enjoyed it even more. I took more time to look around me and see what happens, instead of going from the one thing I wanted to do to the next.&lt;br /&gt;
- The second best memory of last year was having almost 2 months of holidays in the summer. Being a student comes with some advantages and I experienced that summer holidays is a big one. I&#39;ve spent a lot of time reading, crafting and having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
- And something that will come back every year: I really enjoyed the time I spent with my ferret Mexy. I melt every time I see her cute look on her face, even though that probably means she&#39;s done somethin bad...&lt;br /&gt;
- Last year I met Charlotte from DraadDesign. We&#39;ve become some kind of Etsy-friends and I really appreciate it.&lt;br /&gt;
- Something else about Etsy last year: Almost every month I got orders, which is new for me. Compared to the year before this was a big improvement.&lt;br /&gt;
- Lessons learned: don&#39;t sell your handmade items in a pop-up shop. It doesn&#39;t seem to work for the items I make somehow. Also: I need to work on presentation and photography of my products.&lt;br /&gt;
- Another pretty major accomplisment was graduating for the first year of my study. It&#39;s not a very big thing, but I would have never guessed I would finish the first year with the absolutely bizar marks I got...&lt;br /&gt;
- I&#39;m also very grateful for the opportunity I have at school to do some extra projects and earn certificates with them (some kind of Honours projects). One of those gave me a lot of stress, but in the end it was worth it.&lt;br /&gt;
- Something less fun was injuring my ankle in September and the trouble I had with my lungs since October. It&#39;s not as bad as it was though. Tomorrow I&#39;ll get the results of a lung function test I did 2 weeks ago, let&#39;s hope there&#39;s something I can do or a change of medication that will make it a little better.&lt;br /&gt;
- Last year was also my first year that I was a member of a student society. I&#39;ve really enjoyed meeting new people, finding friends and spending weekends &amp;amp; fun times with them.&lt;br /&gt;
- And to finish this list: I enjoyed all the knitting and crocheting I did last year. I should make a list of all the things I&#39;ve made...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And then there&#39;s 365 of brand new days in front of me. 2015 is already filled with many plans and thing I want to do.&lt;br /&gt;
But one is a really big plan that is potentially life changing. No, I&#39;m not getting married and I&#39;m not pregnant. But: I&#39;ll probably go studying abroad for 5 months, starting this September. And chances are pretty big that I&#39;ll be spending this time in my home away from home: London baby! Nothing is sure yet, but my mind wanders in that direction many times. A girl can dream right?&lt;br /&gt;
Also I&#39;m really looking forward to the vacations I&#39;ll go on with my sister and brother-in-law and one with the student society. Guaranteed I&#39;ll have fun times.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Besides this there&#39;s the usual New Year&#39;s resolutions: eating more healthy, being less lazy sometimes and all. No surprises here. But I have some other more concrete plans and wishes for 2015. And sharing them with others makes the chances of really doing it bigger, right?&lt;br /&gt;
Here goes nothing...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;b&gt;On the wishlist&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;Blogging &amp;amp; Etsy&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
- I&#39;d like to share more craft ideas and DIY&#39;s on the blog. I&#39;m also thinking to make a questionaire to ask all of you what you think about the blog &amp;amp; Etsy shop, what you&#39;d like to read more about on the blog and if you have any specific ideas.&lt;br /&gt;
- And this year I want to move the blog to it&#39;s own domain. I really have no clue about how to do this and where I want it to go, but I&#39;ll have more than enough time to figure that out.&lt;br /&gt;
- I want to bring my handmade items to at least one craft market this year. No more pop-up shops where other people sell my stuff, but I want to sell it myself and see the customers. I think that&#39;s much more fun!&lt;br /&gt;
- Besides more knitted and crocheted items, you can also expect a downloadable PDF with instructions to make your own knitted banner and DIY kits for this.&lt;br /&gt;
- Bring more continuity into blogging and running a handmade business and make sure there&#39;s also time for the little details. To do this Charlotte from DraadDesign and I have agreed to meet at least once a month in a café/bar where we will work on our blogs and shops and help eachother. And to make it even better: we started with this resolution even before 2015 started!&lt;br /&gt;
- And there&#39;s some milestones to celebrate: the 5th birthday of my blog, the 3rd birthday of the JCLN Etsy shop and the 500th blog post is about to see the light!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;Foods&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
- Find the perfect breakfast: I always have to start my day with something sweet. Without it my engine doesn&#39;t seem to start. Now I start my day with bread and chocolate sprinkles. Not very healthy and sometimes a bit boring to eat it pretty much every day, so I want to start a search for other ways to fire up my engine in the morning. Do you have any good ideas?&lt;br /&gt;
- Bake cookies: Just because cookies are nice and fun to make. At least, I think so. I never really made cookies myself.&lt;br /&gt;
- Make my own curry: I&#39;ve made curry from a package of curry paste, but I want to really make curry from scratch. Adding all the herbs &amp;amp; spices myself. I&#39;ll definitely share the recipe on the blog!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;Crafts&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
- I need to start knitting/crocheting&amp;nbsp;with the yarns I bought last year and had amazing plans with. But these plans never happened (or I forgot about their existence).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;List lover&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
- I love making to-do lists &amp;amp; all and it really helps me. But somehow I always end up with a long list in my mind and I never write it down. The result: ideas get lost and time is mostly spent not doing what needs to be done... I have many lovely notebooks in the closet, waiting to be used. So this year, they will.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What are your plans for 2015? Anything special?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
____________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Veel, veel later dan alle andere bloggers heb ik ook teruggekeken op 2014 en is het nu tijd om op de &#39;publicere&#39;-knop te drukken voor deze blogpost.&lt;br /&gt;
Het heeft wat langer geduurd, maar ook ik keek terug op het afgelopen jaar en keek naar de plannen die ik heb voor 2015.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Herinneringen van 2014&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
- Eén van de beste herinneringen van afgelopen jaar: Londen. 10 volle dagen in de stad waar ik zo van houd en ik verbleef gezellig bij vriendin Rasa. Het was m&#39;n tweede bezoek aan Londen en deze keer heb ik er nog meer van genoten. Ik heb meer tijd genomen om om me heen te kijken en te zien wat er gebeurt, i.p.v. van het ene naar het andere ding te rennen.&lt;br /&gt;
- Een andere fijne herinnering van afgelopen jaar waren de bijna 2 volle maanden vakantie in de zomer. Studeren heeft ook zo z&#39;n voordelen en ik mocht ervaren dat de zomervakantie wel een groot voordeel is. Ik heb heerlijk veel kunnen lezen, craften en leuke dingen kunnen doen.&lt;br /&gt;
- En iets wat elk jaar zal terugkeren: Ik heb volop genoten van m&#39;n fretje Mexy. Dat lieve snoetje dat je aankijkt, al betekent dat waarschijnlijk dat ze iets stouts heeft gedaan...&lt;br /&gt;
- Afgelopen jaar leerde ik Charlotte van DraadDesign kennen. We zijn een soort Etsy-vriendinnen geworden en dat is iets wat ik erg waardeer.&lt;br /&gt;
- Iets anders over Etsy afgelopen jaar: Bijna elke maand waren er wel orders en dat is nieuw voor me. Vergeleken met vorig jaar is dat een grote stap vooruit.&lt;br /&gt;
- Een geleerde les: verkoop je handgemaakte producten niet via een pop-up shop. Op de een of andere manier lijkt dat voor mijn items niet te werken. En ook moet ik een keer goed nadenken over de presentatie en fotografie van mijn producten.&lt;br /&gt;
- Een andere best grote mijlpaal afgelopen jaar: Ik slaagde voor mijn propeduese. Op zich niet een heel groot ding, maar ik had nooit durven hopen dat ik dat eerste jaar zou afsluiten met zulke bizarre cijfers...&lt;br /&gt;
- Ik ben ook erg dankbaar voor de mogelijkheden die ik op school krijg om extra projecten te doen en daar certificaten voor te verdienen (een soort Honours projecten). Eén van die projecten gaf me wel veel stress, maar uiteindelijk was het t allemaal waar.&lt;br /&gt;
- Iets wat minder leuk was, was de enkelblessure in september en de longproblemen die ik sinds oktober heb. Het valt op zich nu allemaal mee, maar ik hoop toch dat als ik morgen uitslag van een longfunctie test krijg, er ook een oplossing is.&lt;br /&gt;
- Afgelopen jaar was het eerste jaar dat ik lid was van een studentenvereniging. Ik heb erg genoten van alle nieuwe mensen die ik heb leren kennen, de leuke weekenden die we hadden en de gezelligheid.&lt;br /&gt;
- En om de lijst af te sluiten: ik heb ook enorm genoten van al het haken en breien dat ik afgelopen jaar deed. Ik zou eigenlijk een lijstje moeten samenstellen met alles wat ik gemaakt heb...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
En dan zijn er nu 365 gloednieuwe dagen voor me. 2015 is al gevuld met vele plannen en dingen die ik wil doen.&lt;br /&gt;
Maar één van die plannen is groot en mogelijk &#39;life changing&#39;. Nee, ik ga niet trouwen en ben ook niet zwanger. Maar: ik ga waarschijnlijk 5 maanden in het buitenland studeren vanaf september. En de kans is redelijk groot dat ik die tijd door mag brengen in m&#39;n &#39;thuis weg van thuis&#39;: Londen baby! Er is nog niks zeker, maar m&#39;n gedachten drijven toch regelmatig af in die richting. Een meisje mag dromen toch?&lt;br /&gt;
Ook kijk ik erg uit naar de vakanties die al gepland staan met m&#39;n zusje en zwager en met de studentenvereniging. Gegarandeerd gezellige tijden!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
En hiernaast zijn er natuurlijk de standaard goede voornemens: gezonder eten, minder lui zijn soms enzo. Niet echt verrassend. maar ik heb ook andere meer concrete plannen en wensen voor 2015. En door ze te delen wordt de kans alleen maar groter dat ze ook echt gaan gebeuren, toch?&lt;br /&gt;
Daar gaan we...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Op het verlanglijstje&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;Bloggen &amp;amp; Etsy&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
- Ik wil graag meer creatieve ideeën en DIY&#39;s delen op de blog. Ik denk er ook over na om een enquete te maken en jullie allemaal te vragen wat jullie van de blog &amp;amp; Etsy shop vinden, waar jullie meer over willen lezen en of je misschien nog wel briljante ideeën hebt.&lt;br /&gt;
- Ook wil ik dit jaar de blog verhuizen naar een eigen domeinnaam. Ik heb echt geen idee hoe dat moet en waar ik dat wil/moet gaan doen. Maar ik heb nog genoeg tijd om dat uit te vogelen.&lt;br /&gt;
- Ik wil met mijn handgemaakte producten op minstens 1 craftmarkt staan dit jaar. Geen pop-up shops meer waar anderen m&#39;n spullen verkopen, maar gewoon zelf achter een kraampje staan. Dat is ook veel leuker denk ik!&lt;br /&gt;
- Naast nog meer gehaakte en gebreide items kun je dit jaar ook een downloadable PDF verwachten om je eigen gebreide vlaggetjes te kunnen maken en DIY-kits hiervan.&lt;br /&gt;
- Ik wil meer continuiteit brengen in het bloggen en de handmade business. Zorgen dat er meer tijd is voor de kleine details. Om dit te doen heb ik met Charlotte van DraadDesign afgesproken om minimaal één keer per maand bij elkaar te komen in een café en dan aan onze blogs en shops te werken, dan kunnen we elkaar ook helpen met vanalles enzo. En om het beter te maken: we zijn al voor 2015 met dit goede voornemen begonnen!&lt;br /&gt;
- En er worden dit jaar ook wat mijlpalen gevierd: de 5e verjaardag van m&#39;n blog, de 3e verjaardag van m&#39;n Etsy shop en de 500e blogposts zal ook dit jaar het licht zien!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;Foods&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
- Het perfecte ontbijt vinden: Ik begin m&#39;n dag altijd met iets zoets. Zonder dat wil m&#39;n motortje niet opstarten ofzo. Nu begin ik m&#39;n dag altijd met een broodje hagelslag. Niet echt gezond en ook een beetje saai om daarmee altijd te starten. Dus ik wil dit jaar op zoek naar andere manier om mijn motortje aan te zwengelen in de ochtend. Heb jij nog goede ideeën?&lt;br /&gt;
- Koekjes bakken: gewoon omdat koekjes leuk zijn om te maken. Tenminste, dat denk ik. Ik heb nog nooit echt zelf koekjes gemaakt...&lt;br /&gt;
- Zelf curry maken: Ik heb al wel vaker curry gemaakt met zo&#39;n pakje curry pasta, maar ik wil echt echt zelf curry maken. Zelf de kruiden en specerijen erbij doen. En ik beloof dat ik &#39;t recept zal delen op de blog!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;Crafts&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
- Ik ga dit jaar eerst maar eens in m&#39;n eigen voorraad wol duiken. Ik heb afgelopen jaar veel gekocht met daarbij allemaal leuke projectjes in m&#39;n hoofd, maar het is er nooit van gekomen (of ik ben gewoon de wol of plannen vergeten).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;List lover&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
- Ik vind het heerlijk om lijstjes te maken en het helpt me ook echt. Maar op de een of andere manier blijven al die lange lijstjes in m&#39;n hoofd ronddolen en komen ze nooit op papier terecht. Het resultaat: ideeën raak je kwijt en je bent vooral niet bezig met wat echt nodig is... En ik heb zoveel leuke notitieboekjes klaar liggen om te gebruiken. Dus dit jaar ga ik dat maar eens doen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Happy New Year! But first an overview of the last month:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
The&amp;nbsp;month flew by! A month of celebrating and lighting candles in the evening.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
There was a lot of meetings with friends &amp;amp; family, craft ideas and deadlines for school.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
In the beginning of the month I went to the musical Billy Elliot with my parents&amp;nbsp;which was really fun (besides all the cursing...).&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Somewhere half way through the month I even skied down a slope&amp;nbsp;in an&amp;nbsp;indoor snow hall in Germany. &#39;Unfortunately&#39; there&#39;s no pictures of that... I don&#39;t think it looked very graceful.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
And of course December is the month of Christmas. Early December I decorated my room with lights and ornaments and every night I light candles. Once in a while some hot chocolate, but mostly it&#39;s drinking cups of tea under a warm blanket. Playing Christmas songs on Spotify while planning Christmas dinner.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Yes, I know. I&#39;m a Christmas nuthead...&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Here&#39;s how I enjoyed the most festive month of all.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
﻿&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-esM0yKI24vg/VKGaFT0cDtI/AAAAAAAAHVI/ESiKSAECZZI/s1600/20141204_162309.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-esM0yKI24vg/VKGaFT0cDtI/AAAAAAAAHVI/ESiKSAECZZI/s1600/20141204_162309.jpg&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
I celebrated Sinterklaas with a friend. I got spoilt with a coloring book, a little recipe book and a chocolate letter.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AYzmp6wC_4g/VKGaFQZLzxI/AAAAAAAAHVE/O62EK73pOMI/s1600/20141205_135144.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AYzmp6wC_4g/VKGaFQZLzxI/AAAAAAAAHVE/O62EK73pOMI/s1600/20141205_135144.jpg&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
I also made some clay Christmas ornaments for my Etsy shop. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.etsy.com/listing/215820660/christmas-ornament-gold-or-silver&quot;&gt;You can still buy them (with a post Christmas discount) here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3yf4fPxJxrg/VKGaFRMqovI/AAAAAAAAHVM/oNJ7C1hC6eU/s1600/20141209_171929.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3yf4fPxJxrg/VKGaFRMqovI/AAAAAAAAHVM/oNJ7C1hC6eU/s1600/20141209_171929.jpg&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
One of my favorite places in Utrecht: the Yoghurt Barn. This time I had a yoghurt with banana, chocolate and cocos.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jNFlthwMnWQ/VKGaGu7b7iI/AAAAAAAAHVY/1Zz6sT4wU70/s1600/20141219_154059.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jNFlthwMnWQ/VKGaGu7b7iI/AAAAAAAAHVY/1Zz6sT4wU70/s1600/20141219_154059.jpg&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
And like I said: lots of warm tea in my favorite mug.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3BAfxyi-3Mk/VKGaHPN468I/AAAAAAAAHVg/g_ao3y7dGBU/s1600/20141219_200947.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3BAfxyi-3Mk/VKGaHPN468I/AAAAAAAAHVg/g_ao3y7dGBU/s1600/20141219_200947.jpg&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
And OK, some wine for the evenings. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
﻿&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;On December 17th I got ready for the first Christmas dinner of this year. My sweet assistant was right by my side to &#39;help&#39; &amp;nbsp;me get dressed.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n4tmze2N6YA/VKGbbfYGK9I/AAAAAAAAHXI/XVqwAs7Q-78/s1600/PC140239.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n4tmze2N6YA/VKGbbfYGK9I/AAAAAAAAHXI/XVqwAs7Q-78/s1600/PC140239.JPG&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
I visited the lovely Christmas markets in Utrecht.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
﻿&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HjzfhIHu5uA/VKGbbX384YI/AAAAAAAAHXE/SGuq6wyiA44/s1600/PC140240.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HjzfhIHu5uA/VKGbbX384YI/AAAAAAAAHXE/SGuq6wyiA44/s1600/PC140240.JPG&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
And this is Utrecht on a non-snowy winter night.﻿&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aOgilSL0JLQ/VKGaHDD1p3I/AAAAAAAAHVc/_rYXc-yFws0/s1600/20141219_203910.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aOgilSL0JLQ/VKGaHDD1p3I/AAAAAAAAHVc/_rYXc-yFws0/s1600/20141219_203910.jpg&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
Just before Christmas I went to Primark to shop for an outfit for Christmas. But I came back with bag filled with other clothes. The best buy: this Mickey sweater which is really soft and fluffy!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
﻿&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Af7tr7z0DTU/VKGaHhWqrsI/AAAAAAAAHVk/gTgTBPOlQIw/s1600/20141221_112244.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Af7tr7z0DTU/VKGaHhWqrsI/AAAAAAAAHVk/gTgTBPOlQIw/s1600/20141221_112244.jpg&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
I made some winter decoration for my mom. Very easy to make, all you need is some nylon thread, white fluffy balls and little beads.&amp;nbsp;I glued the beads to the balls with a drop of super glue.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
﻿&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2zbMWZVaUGc/VKGaINsEVNI/AAAAAAAAHV0/gGvpNjsOqUE/s1600/20141224_122609.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2zbMWZVaUGc/VKGaINsEVNI/AAAAAAAAHV0/gGvpNjsOqUE/s1600/20141224_122609.jpg&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
And finally it was time for Christmas dinner with my parents. Unfortunately my sister and her hubby couldn&#39;t be there. But it still was lovely. I&#39;m really happy with how the decorations turned out!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
﻿&lt;/div&gt;

The spinach avocado soup! It was a really nice and fresh start of the dinner.&lt;/div&gt;

Salmon in puff pastry, mashed potatoes with figs and broccoli (unfortunately the rainbow carrots were out of stock in the supermarket...)﻿&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
And last week I hung a wooden crate on my wall. Finally some extra space for decoration that my ferret can&#39;t reach. :)&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I hope you also had a lovely December!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
_______________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gelukkig nieuwjaar! Maar eerst weer een overzichtje van de afgelopen maand.&lt;br /&gt;
De maand is weer voorbij gevlogen. Een maand vol feestelijkheen en brandende kaarsjes in de avond.&lt;br /&gt;
Er waren veel ontmoetingen met vrienden en familie, creatieve ideeen en deadlines voor school.&lt;br /&gt;
In het begin van de maand ging ik met m&#39;n ouders naar de musical Billy Elliot, wat erg leuk was (behalve het vele schelden en vloeken...)&lt;br /&gt;
Ergens halverwege de maand skiede ik van een helling af in een indoor sneeuwhal in Duitsland. &#39;Helaas&#39; zijn daar gen foto&#39;s van... Ik denk niet dat het er erg elegant uit heeft gezien.&lt;br /&gt;
En natuurlijk was december de maand van kerst. Al vroeg in december hing ik lichtjes en decoratie in mijn kamer en elke avond stak ik wel kaarsjes aan. Zo af en toe wat warme chocolademelk, maar het waren vooral veel koppen warme thee die ik onder een warm dekentje nuttigde. En heerlijk kerstliedjes afspelen op Spotify terwijl ik het kerstdiner plande.&lt;br /&gt;
Ja, ik weet het. Ik ben een echte kerst muts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Dit is hoe ik deze feestelijke maand heb doorgebracht.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
(Bij de foto&#39;s)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Ik vierde Sinterklaas met een vriendin en werd verwend met en kleurboek, een klein kookboekje en een chocoladeletter.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Ook maakte ik deze maand kersthangers van klei. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.etsy.com/listing/215820660/christmas-ornament-gold-or-silver?&quot;&gt;Je kunt ze hier nog steeds kopen (met een na-kerst korting!).&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Een van m&#39;n favoriete plekjes in Utrecht: de Yoghurt Barn. Deze keer nam ik yoghurt met banaan, chocola en kokos.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
En zoals ik zal zei: veel warme thee in m&#39;n favoriete mok.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
En OK, soms een wijntje in de avond.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Op 17 december was al tijd om me klaar te maken voor het eerste kerstdiner van het jaar. Mijn lieve assistente &#39;hielp&#39; me met aankleden...&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Ik bezocht ook de verschillende kerstmarkten in Utrecht en maakte daarbij mooie plaatjes van Utrecht in de winter (zonder sneeuw helaas).&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Net voor kerst ging ik naar de Primark om daar kleren voor kerst te kopen. Maar ik kwam thuis met een tas gevuld met andere kleren. De leukste koop: deze Mickey trui die heerlijk zacht en aaibaar is.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Ik maakte ook wat winterse decoratie voor m&#39;n moeder. Het is erg makkelijk te maken, alles wat je nodig hebt is nylonraad, witte balletjes en kleine kraaltjes. Ik maakte de kraaltjes nog&amp;nbsp;aan de balletjes vast met een drupje secondelijm.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
En eindelijk was het tijd voor het kerstdiner met mijn ouders. Helaas konden m&#39;n zusje en haar man er niet bij zijn. Maar we hebben erg genoten. Ik was vooral heel blij met hoe de aankleding van de tafel gelukt was!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
En aan het eind van de maan hing ik dit houten kistje aan de muur op. Eindelijk wat extra decoratie ruimte waar m&#39;n fretje niet bij kan komen.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b2b2b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;&lt;u style=&quot;line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;Crafts&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;: Ik ben begonnen aan een kanten driehoeks sjaal, maar die ligt al een tijdje in en tas. Afgelopen week begon ik aan en groot project: mijn eigen gehaakte chevron deken. Dit project zullen jullie nog wel een tijdje in de diaries voorbij zien komen...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b2b2b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;Boeken&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;: Tuesday&#39;s Gone - Nicci French.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

En &#39;t is niet echt een serie of film, maar ik keek veel Serious Request.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b2b2b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Het jaar komt alweer tot zijn einde, dus het is tijd om terug te kijken naar het afgelopen jaar.&lt;br /&gt;
Om het jaar af te sluiten heb ik een lijstje gemaakt van jullie favoriete blogposts van afgelopen jaar.&lt;br /&gt;
Ik merkte op dat het een mix is van recepten, persoonlijke posts en DIY&#39;s. Dat is precies waar dit blog over gaat en wat ik in 2015 zal voortzetten.&lt;br /&gt;
Ik heb alle 10 de blogposts voor je op een rijtje gezet: om ze voor het eerst te lezen of om ze opnieuw te lezen en weer geïnspireerd te raken.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Voor de top 10 verwijs ik graag naar hierboven)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ik hoop dat je een leuk &amp;amp; schitterend einde van 2014 zult hebben en een fantastische start van 2015.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every year both Christmas days (yes, in Holland we have 2 days of Christmas) are filled with family and eating. So the day before Christmas we have a Christmas dinner with my parents, my sister and her husband. Unfortunately my sister and her husband won&#39;t be there this year, they will be missed.&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;ve offered my parents to cook the dinner this year. It&#39;s not going to be very big and luxurious, because the days after we&#39;ll eat more than enough.&lt;br /&gt;
So I&#39;ve designed a dinner that is easy to prepare and not too much food. But still special and appreciated.&lt;br /&gt;
Recently I bought an amazing cookbook. It&#39;s Dutch and translated the title is &#39;simply what a student eats in the evening&#39;. A really fun cookbook with easy recipes that every student can make. It&#39;s made by &lt;a href=&quot;http://gewoonwateenstudentjesavondseet.blogspot.nl/&quot;&gt;foodblogger Leonie ter Veld&lt;/a&gt; who shares on her blog what she makes for dinner every day.&lt;br /&gt;
The book is in Dutch, but don&#39;t be sad. I asked Leonie permission to share a recipe and she said YES! More about that later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let me tell you what I&#39;ve planned for Christmas dinner this year.&lt;br /&gt;
We&#39;ll start the dinner with a lovely &lt;b&gt;soup made from spinach and avocado&lt;/b&gt; and that&#39;s the recipe I&#39;ll share below. I&#39;m really curious how it will taste, but it sounds great.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f8FFUwIsIB8/VJWfk4L90EI/AAAAAAAAHTs/ff4Nhg3qR8s/s1600/Kookboek%2BLeonie.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f8FFUwIsIB8/VJWfk4L90EI/AAAAAAAAHTs/ff4Nhg3qR8s/s1600/Kookboek%2BLeonie.jpg&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Main course will be &lt;b&gt;salmon in puff pastry with herb cheese&lt;/b&gt; (also from Leonie&#39;s cookbook), &lt;b&gt;cooked rainbow carrots&lt;/b&gt; and an oven dish with &lt;b&gt;potatoes and figs&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
To finish the dish I&#39;ll make &lt;b&gt;vanilla custard with apple slices, raisins and cinnamon&lt;/b&gt; in the oven. I think it&#39;s very Dutch. You can &lt;a href=&quot;http://acupoflife.nl/appeltjes-met-vanillevla/&quot;&gt;find the recipe here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So now on the the recipe for the spinach avocado soup from Leonie&#39;s cookbook.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;Ingredients (for 1 person)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1 red onion&lt;br /&gt;
1 clove of garlic&lt;br /&gt;
olive oil&lt;br /&gt;
150 grams washed fresh spinach&lt;br /&gt;
2 cubes vegetable stock&lt;br /&gt;
10 fresh mint leaves&lt;br /&gt;
1 avocado&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;Instructions&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1. Cut the onion and garlic in small pieces and bake them with some olive oil.&lt;br /&gt;
2. Add the spinach&lt;br /&gt;
3. When the spinach has shrunken enough, add the stock cubes and 2 glasses of water&lt;br /&gt;
4. Add the mint leaves and let simmer for 10 minutes (don&#39;t cook it).&lt;br /&gt;
5. Cut the avocado in pieces and add to the soup&lt;br /&gt;
6. Blend the soup and you&#39;re ready!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I hope the Christmas dinner I planned will inspire you to make a special dinner that doesn&#39;t take too much effort to prepare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;m wishing you all a warm and relaxing Christmas.&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;ll probably share some pictures from the dinner on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/JCLNblogandshop&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/jacolien87&quot;&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;. See you soon!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Love,&lt;br /&gt;

___________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Elk jaar zijn beide kerstdagen gevuld met familie en eten. Dus op kerstavond vieren we kerst met het gezin en koken we ons eigen kerstdiner. Helaas zijn m&#39;n zus en haar man er dit jaar niet bij, ze zullen worden gemist.&lt;br /&gt;
Ik heb m&#39;n ouders aangeboden om een kerstdiner te koken dit jaar. Het wordt niet heel uitgebreid en luxe, want de dagen erna eten we al meer dan genoeg.&lt;br /&gt;
Ik heb dus een diner samengesteld dat makkelijk klaar te maken is en niet teveel eten is. Maar toch is het speciaal en zal het vast gewaardeerd worden.&lt;br /&gt;
Pas geleden kocht ik een super leuk kookboek. Het is het kookboek &lt;a href=&quot;http://gewoonwateenstudentjesavondseet.blogspot.nl/&quot;&gt;&#39;Gewoon wat een studentje &#39;s avonds eet&#39; van foodblogger Leonie ter Veld&lt;/a&gt;. Makkelijk recepten met verse ingredienten voor één persoon (perfect voor studenten dus). En bij elk recept staat of het Idiot Proof is, hoelang je ervoor nodig hebt, hoe duur het is, of het vegetarisch is en hoeveel afwas je ervan krijg. Geniaal toch?&lt;br /&gt;
Ik vroeg Leonie of ik een recept mocht delen met jullie en ze zei JA! Maar hierover later meer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ik zal eerst vertellen waar het kerstdiner dit jaar uit zal bestaan.&lt;br /&gt;
We beginnen met een heerlijk &lt;b&gt;soepje van spinazie en avocado&lt;/b&gt;. Dit is ook het recept dat ik hieronder met jullie deel. Ik ben erg benieuwd hoe het gaat smaken, maar &#39;t klinkt al goed.&lt;br /&gt;
Als hoofdgerecht zal worden geserveerd: &lt;b&gt;zalm in bladerdeeg met kruidenkaas&lt;/b&gt; (ook uit Leonie&#39;s kookboek), gekookte &lt;b&gt;regenboog worteltjes&lt;/b&gt; en een ovengerecht van &lt;b&gt;aardappels en vijgen&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Om alles mooi af te sluiten maak ik &lt;b&gt;vanille vla met appel, rozijntjes en kaneel&lt;/b&gt; in de oven. &lt;a href=&quot;http://acupoflife.nl/appeltjes-met-vanillevla/&quot;&gt;Het recept hiervoor vindt je hier&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maar nu door naar het recept voor de spinazie-avocado soep uit Leonie&#39;s kookboek.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;Ingrediënten&amp;nbsp;(voor 1 persoon)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1 rode ui&lt;br /&gt;
1 teentje knoflook&lt;br /&gt;
olijfolie&lt;br /&gt;
150 gram gewassen verse spinazie&lt;br /&gt;
2 blokjes groentebouillon&lt;br /&gt;
10 verse muntblaadjes&lt;br /&gt;
1 avocado&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;Instructies&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1. Snijd de ui en knoflook fijn en bak ze in olijfolie tot de ui glazig is.&lt;br /&gt;
2. Voeg de spinazie toe.&lt;br /&gt;
3. Als de spinazie geslonken is voeg je de bouillonblokjes en 2 glazen water toe.&lt;br /&gt;
4. Doe de muntblaadjes erbij en laat dit 10 minuten pruttelen (het mag niet koken!).&lt;br /&gt;
5. Snij de avocado in stukken en voeg toe aan de soep.&lt;br /&gt;
6. Pureer de soep met een staafmixer en je soep is klaar!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ik hoop dat dit kerstdiner je heeft geinspireerd tot het maken van een bijzonder diner dat niet teveel moeite kost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ik wens jullie allemaal warme en ontspannen kerstdagen toe.&lt;br /&gt;
Ik zal volgende week wat foto&#39;s van de kerstmaaltijd delen op &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/JCLNblogandshop?ref=hl&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; en &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/jacolien87&quot;&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;. Tot gauw!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Liefs,&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-D708qsb9-Vw/VJLi1AgFO-I/AAAAAAAAHSk/DkBMdHJPzAg/s1600/Christmas%2B1.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-D708qsb9-Vw/VJLi1AgFO-I/AAAAAAAAHSk/DkBMdHJPzAg/s1600/Christmas%2B1.jpg&quot; height=&quot;450&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes! I have a little job besides my studies, which means that around Christmas my employer gives me a little gift!&lt;br /&gt;
In The Netherlands it&#39;s a tradition to receive a box &amp;nbsp;filled with food and non-food stuff from your employer to thank you for the effort you&#39;ve given in the past year.&lt;br /&gt;
The last few years people also get a coupon with which they can pick a gift of their favor online.&lt;br /&gt;
This year I chose a giftcard for Xenos, a shop with fun home decoration, supplies for creative outings, kitchen supplies and a food section.&lt;br /&gt;
I went shopping for about 2 hours and this is the result: THE best Christmas Hamper I&#39;ve ever had!&lt;br /&gt;
If you&#39;re Dutch, I can really advise you to do the same. It&#39;s fun and you&#39;ll be sure you will have the things you really like for your Christmas hamper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is what&#39;s in mine:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hg55YWH27vk/VJLi80MD2WI/AAAAAAAAHSw/FrdRFCxcnCM/s1600/Christmas%2B2.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hg55YWH27vk/VJLi80MD2WI/AAAAAAAAHSw/FrdRFCxcnCM/s1600/Christmas%2B2.jpg&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
A garland with snowflake lights, so cute!&lt;br /&gt;
A spool of grey polka dot ribbon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bGuNjv7SF5k/VJLjD94lAPI/AAAAAAAAHTE/IffLeJthZrA/s1600/Christmas%2B3.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bGuNjv7SF5k/VJLjD94lAPI/AAAAAAAAHTE/IffLeJthZrA/s1600/Christmas%2B3.jpg&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Fun straws with patterns. I already have a bunch in my collection, but you can never have enough.&lt;br /&gt;
A small tray, on which I will serve tea and biscuits when I have visitors.&lt;br /&gt;
A vase with the text &#39;Happiness is not a destination, it is a way of life&#39;.&lt;br /&gt;
A snowflake hanger, to add a bit more Christmas and winter feeling to my room.&lt;br /&gt;
A clipboard with a nice pattern of which I will clip nice texts or pictures that catch my eye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JtrZyC9YCTI/VJLi8pNOj_I/AAAAAAAAHSs/y2OAVQNVaYA/s1600/Christmas%2B4.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JtrZyC9YCTI/VJLi8pNOj_I/AAAAAAAAHSs/y2OAVQNVaYA/s1600/Christmas%2B4.jpg&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
And what is a Christmas hamper without some food stuff. There&#39;s two curry pastes and a mix for pizza and foccacia bread. Yum!&lt;br /&gt;
And to help me cook all of it, there&#39;s a spatula.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B9AMRWDz-UM/VJLi9XN-vhI/AAAAAAAAHS4/w2DV-qi5nf8/s1600/Christmas%2B5.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B9AMRWDz-UM/VJLi9XN-vhI/AAAAAAAAHS4/w2DV-qi5nf8/s1600/Christmas%2B5.jpg&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
And besides all the ovely stuff above, there&#39;s a little casket from wood with two heart shaped holes on each side. I&#39;ll hang this on my wall to serve as shelves on which I can place some decorative stuff (so that my ferret can&#39;t reach it and break it).&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
I hope you enjoyed it and I didn&#39;t make you too jealous if you don&#39;t receive a Christmas hamper.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Eitherway, I hope you&#39;ll have a lovely Christmas this year!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
_________________________________________________&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Ja! Ik heb een mini mini bijbaantje naast m&#39;n studie en dat betekent dat je rond kerst een kerstpakket krijgt!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
In Nederland is het een traditie om een kerstpakket gevuld met food en non-food dingen van je werkgever, om je te bedanken voor je inzet in het afgelopen jaar.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
De laatste jaren zie je steeds meer dat mensen een bon krijgen om online zelf een cadeau uit te zoeken dat bij ze past.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Dit jaar koos ik voor een cadeaukaart van Xenos, een winkel met leuke decoratie, dingen om creatief mee te doen, keukenspullen en een food afdeling.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Ik ben lekker 2 uur gaan shoppen en dit is het resultaat: HET beste kerstpakket dat ik ooit gehad heb!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Als je de keuze hebt om een cadeaukaart te kiezen, zou ik dat zeker adviseren. Het is leuk en op die manier heb je zeker een kerstpakket met alleen maar leuke dingen.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Dit is mijn kerstpakket dit jaar:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Een snoer lichtjes in de vorm van sneeuwvlokjes, zo leuk!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
En een klosje grijs lint met stipjes.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Leuke rietjes met patroontjes. Ik heb er al een aantal in mijn collectie, maar je kunt nooit genoeg leuke rietjes hebben.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Een klein dienblaadje, waarop ik thee en koekjes aan mijn visite kan serveren.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Een vaasje met de tekst &#39;Happiness is not a destination, it is a way of life&#39;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Een clipbord met een leuk patroontje waaraan ik allemaal leuke teksten en plaatjes vast ga maken.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
En wat is een kerstpakket zonder eten? Er &amp;nbsp;zitten twee zakjes currypasta in en een mix voor pizza en foccacia. Lekker! En om me te helpen bij het koken zit er nog een spatel bij.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
En naast alle leuke dingen hierboven, is er ook nog eens een leuk houten kistje met twee hartvormige gaten aan beide kanten. Ik ga deze aan m&#39;n muur hangen, zodat ik &#39;m als plank kan gebruiken voor decoratieve dingen (dan kan m&#39;n fretje er mooi niet bij om dingen stuk te maken).&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Ik hoop dat je het leuk vond om mijn kerstpakket te zien en dat ik je niet te jaloers heb gemaakt als je er helaas geen krijgt.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Ik wens je in ieder geval een fijne kerst dit jaar!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;It&#39;s getting colder and it&#39;s way too early when it gets dark.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;It&#39;s about time to light some candles and lounge on the couch with a lovely cup of tea.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xCA_W5kJqJ0/VIswg5PARDI/AAAAAAAAHRw/EuZ7DQFtZv4/s1600/P9280244.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xCA_W5kJqJ0/VIswg5PARDI/AAAAAAAAHRw/EuZ7DQFtZv4/s1600/P9280244.JPG&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;Besides tea tasting good, it&#39;s also healthy. Tea has anti-oxidants that support your immune system and, compare to other food, there&#39;s a lot of fluoride in it that strengthens your teeth and bones.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;And what is better than a cup brewed from loose leaf tea?! A teabag consists of the same tea leafs ofcourse, but there definitely is a difference! The leafs in loose leaf tea are more coarse, full and fresh than the leafs in a teabag. Tea leafs used in teabags are also called tea dust because of that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;So you might be able to imagine that the flavor of loose tea leafs si much more intense and rich than tea from a teabag.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-huCqhwlrVG8/VIswhKIb6WI/AAAAAAAAHRs/jdhsR5RiMiA/s1600/P9280251.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-huCqhwlrVG8/VIswhKIb6WI/AAAAAAAAHRs/jdhsR5RiMiA/s1600/P9280251.JPG&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;But I hear you asking it: How do I brew the perfect cup of tea with loose leafs?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;Well, this is how to do it:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;1. Boil the water and pour it in a glass. For black tea you use boiling water, for Oolong tea the water should be just off boil and for green tea the water should be about 80°C.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;2. Put the loose leafs in a tea egg. For black tea you need about 2-2,5 grams for one cup, for green tea you need 1-1,5 grams and for Oolong tea you need 3 grams for 200 ml. When you brew tea with loose leafs more often, you&#39;ll discover which amount of tea is perfect for you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aVmogdRGJbs/VIswh1DefTI/AAAAAAAAHR4/IT-W5gCNIMY/s1600/P9280252.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aVmogdRGJbs/VIswh1DefTI/AAAAAAAAHR4/IT-W5gCNIMY/s1600/P9280252.JPG&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;3. Put the tea egg in the water. And NO! Don&#39;t stir or do anything with it. Loose leaf tea is best when you let it at rest for a bit. Brew black tea and Oolong for about 2-3 minutes and green tea for a maximum of 2 minutes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;4. Take the tea egg out of the cup and stir the tea gently.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;5. Your tea is done. Light some candles, pick a good book and curl up under a blanket with your perfect cup of tea. Enjoy!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;________________________________________________________&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Zo bevat thee anti-oxidanten die je immuunsysteem ondersteunen en zit er (vergeleken met andere voedingsmiddelen) veel fluoride in die je gebit en botten versterken.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;En wat is nu lekkerder dan een kopje van losse thee?! In een zakje thee zit natuurlijk precies dezelfde bladeren als in losse thee, maar er is wel degelijk verschil! De bladeren van losse thee zijn veel grover, voller en verser dan de bladeren die in theezakjes gaan. Thee bladeren die voor theezakjes gebruikt worden, worden ook wel thee stof of tea dust genoemd. Je kunt je dus misschien wel voorstellen dat de smaak van losse thee veel intenser en rijker is dan van thee uit een theezakje.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;Maar ik hoor &#39;t je denken: Hoe zet je met losse blaadjes het perfecte kopje thee?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;Nou, zo zet je het perfecte kopje thee:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;1. Kook water en doe dit in het glas. Gebruik voor zwarte thee kokend water, voor de Oolong thee water dat net van de kook af is en voor groene thee water dat niet meer kookt (80°C).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;2. Doe de losse thee in een thee-ei. Voor zwarte thee heb je ongeveer 2-2,5 gram nodig voor één kopje, voor groene thee 1-1,5 gram en voor Oolong thee 3 gram voor 200 ml. Als je vaker losse thee zet, zul je zelf ontdekken welke hoeveelheid jij het lekkerst vindt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;3. Hang het thee-ei in het water. En NEE! Niet roeren of eraan frutselen! Losse thee is het lekkerst als je het even laat trekken. Zwarte thee en Oolong thee laat je 2-3 minuten trekken, groene thee maximaal 2 minuten.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;4. Haal het thee-ei uit je kopje en roer je thee even een keer door.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;&quot;&gt;5. Je thee is klaar. Steek wat kaarsjes aan, pak een goed boek en kruip met je kopje verse thee onder een kleedje op de bank. Genieten maar!&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://stuff-to-love.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-perfect-cup-of-tea.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NgPFxUynrQw/VIswg-y36KI/AAAAAAAAHRo/tR4ivVhe4sA/s72-c/P9280242.JPG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308049005810398822.post-244886493359878808</guid><pubDate>Thu, 04 Dec 2014 21:18:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2014-12-30T11:05:57.082+01:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">dagboek</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">diary</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">personal</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">persoonlijk</category><title>November Diary</title><description>November was filled to the rim with meetings, happenings, weekends away from home &amp;amp; much more.&lt;br /&gt;
So much fun, but also very exhausting.&lt;br /&gt;
I wanted December to be less busy, but already my planner is filled with bussy-ness and fun.&lt;br /&gt;
But first: November.&lt;br /&gt;
I don&#39;t really think there&#39;s much to tell. It&#39;s best to show you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MujoAS97BRg/VIDLZkSc2PI/AAAAAAAAHQs/1lNSgXLEsxA/s1600/20141104_182658.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MujoAS97BRg/VIDLZkSc2PI/AAAAAAAAHQs/1lNSgXLEsxA/s1600/20141104_182658.jpg&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
I made sushi for six friends this month. I told them I would make it for them. But boy, what a job that was! I don&#39;t think I&#39;ll ever do it again for more than 4 persons. But it was really appreciated (except for the one who didn&#39;t really like sushi after all...).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

In the beginning of the month I took some of my JCLN products to a pop-up store. It looks amazing, but I still need to find a way to make customers understand that things on the wall are also for sale.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

This was the first weekend away: with 6 friends in a small chalet. But we had a great time playing games, watching movies, coloring and visiting Glow Eindhoven (a lightshow on buildings in a city).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

I finished the crochet lace wrapscarf! And I&#39;m so happy with it!&lt;br /&gt;
Now I need to find a way to make good pictures of it... (ideas or tips anyone?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second weekend was with my student society and other (alike) ones. We went to a monastery where we took time to meet God and meet fellow students. A great time with not as much sleep...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

Finally I can share this sweet babyblanket with all of you! I made it as a gift for a friend who&#39;s pregnant. She (and her hubbie) were verry happy with it.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b2b2b; font-family: &#39;PT Sans Caption&#39;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Super leuk allemaal, maar ook erg vermoeiend.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b2b2b; font-family: &#39;PT Sans Caption&#39;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Ik had bedacht om het in december minder druk te maken, maar toen ik afgelopen week in m&#39;n agenda keek was van dat voornemen weinig over...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b2b2b; font-family: &#39;PT Sans Caption&#39;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Maar eerst: november.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b2b2b; font-family: &#39;PT Sans Caption&#39;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Er is eigenlijk niet veel te vertellen. Het is beter als ik &#39;t je laat zien.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bij de foto&#39;s:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ik heb sushi gemaakt voor 6 mensen. Ik vertelde ze dat ik dat ooit geleerd heb. Maar jeetje, wat een werk. Ik denk niet dat ik &#39;t ooit voor meer dan 4 mensen moet doen. Maar het werd erg gewaardeerd (behalve door degene die toch niet echt van sushi bleek te houden...).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In het begin van de maand heb ik een aantal JCLN producten naar een pop-up shop gebracht. &#39;t Ziet er erg leuk uit, maar ik moet nog wel een manier zien te verzinnen om klanten naar mijn muurpaneel te lokken.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dit was het eerste weekend weg: met 6 vriendinnen in een klein chalet. Maar we hebben een leuke tijd gehad met spelletjes spelen, films kijken, kleuren en Glow Eindhoven bezoeken.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ik heb de gehaakte kanten stola afgemaakt! En ik ben er zo blij mee! Nu nog een manier zien te vinden om &#39;m goed op de foto te zetten... (iemand ideeen?)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Het tweede weekend weg was met de studentenvereniging en andere verenigingen uit het hele land. We gingen naar een klooster, waar we de tijd namen om God en medestudenten te ontmoeten. Een super tof weekend met niet zoveel slaap...&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;En eindelijk kan ik jullie dit mooie babydekentje laten zien! Ik maakte het als een cadeau voor een zwangere vriendin. Zij (en haar man) waren er erg blij mee.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b2b2b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;&lt;u style=&quot;line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;Crafts&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;: de gehaakte kanten stola is af en ik maakte dus ook een babydekentje. En inmiddels ben ik weer een driehoek sjaal aan het haken.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #2b2b2b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;&lt;u style=&quot;line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;Boeken&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 22.17px;&quot;&gt;: Tuesday&#39;s Gone - Nicci French.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Do you also love those cardboard IKEA boxes?&lt;br /&gt;
I do too. I just counted and I have 11 of these boxes in my room!&lt;br /&gt;
But they&#39;re soooo damn boring!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That&#39;s why I created this IKEA Hack DIY to make these boxes fit your interior better.&lt;br /&gt;
Check out the steps below to make these boxes yourself!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;li&gt;IKEA Pappis cardboard boxes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Stack of old magazines&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Thin piece of paper&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Thick piece of paper/cardboard&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Laptop/PC/tablet&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Pencil&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Scissors&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Glue&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Instructions:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1. Get a stack of old magazines and decide which colors you want to use.&lt;br /&gt;
2. Make a hexagon mall with thick paper. To do this, search a hexagon of the right size online, put a thin paper on your screen and trace the hexagon. Cut this out and trace it on a piece of thick paper/cardboard. Cut this one out and you have your hexagon mall.&lt;br /&gt;
3. Go through the magazines, trace pieces you like and cut them out&lt;br /&gt;
4. Stick the hexagons onto the IKEA box. Make sure you put enough (but not too much) glue on the corners of the hexagons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I hope you enjoyed this DIY.&lt;br /&gt;

Ben jij ook zo blij met die kartonnen dozen van IKEA?&lt;br /&gt;
Ik ook, ik heb net even geteld en ik heb er maar liefst 11 op mijn kamer!&lt;br /&gt;
Maar ze zijn zooooo saai!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Daarom heb ik deze IKEA Hack DIY gemaakt om de dozen op te leuken, zodat ze beter in je interieur passen.&lt;br /&gt;
Hieronder lees je alles wat je moet weten om deze dozen zelf ook te maken.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Wat je nodig hebt:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;IKEA Pappis kartonnen dozen&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Stapel oude tijdschriften&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Vel dun papier&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Vel dik papier/karton&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Laptop/PC/tablet&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Potlood&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Schaar&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Lijm&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Instucties:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1. Pak een stapel oude tijdschriften en bepaal welke kleur(en) je wilt gaan gebruiken.&lt;br /&gt;
2. Maak een zeshoekige mal van dik papier. Zo doe je dat: zoek een zeshoek van de juiste grootte online, leg een vel dun papier op je scherm en trek de zeshoek over. Knip deze uit en trek hem over op het dikke papier/karton. Knip dit uit en je mal is klaar.&lt;br /&gt;
3. Blader door de tijdschriften, omlijn stukken die je leuk vindt met de mal en knip ze uit.&lt;br /&gt;
4. Plak de zeshoeken op de IKEA doos. Zorg dat er genoeg (maar niet teveel) lijm op de hoeken van de zeshoek zit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Sorry to all English readers, Dutch came first today.&lt;br /&gt;
Why?&lt;br /&gt;
Because all the pictures above are from the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blendut.nl/&quot;&gt;BlendUT pop-up shop&lt;/a&gt; in Utrecht, The Netherlands.&lt;br /&gt;
It&#39;s a pop-up shop with only handmade items and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jcln.etsy.com/&quot;&gt;JCLN&lt;/a&gt; is in there too!&lt;br /&gt;
All the items you find there are made by Dutch people.&lt;br /&gt;
The items above are my personal favorites of what&#39;s in the store now, but it changes all the time. When something is sold, something new comes in.&lt;br /&gt;
So if you happen to be in The Netherlands, try to stop by.&lt;br /&gt;
If that&#39;s too much to ask, below the pictures you&#39;ll find the websites of the makers.&lt;br /&gt;
Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;

By the time my ankle was as good as healed, I got sick. This wasn&#39;t so strange. The weather was changing and having asthma means that you&#39;ll be sick for a few days.&lt;br /&gt;
After a few days I did get better, but my lung capacity was still very poor, which also makes me more tired. I still had to skip classes to make it through the day.&lt;br /&gt;
So I went to see a doctor and got a antibiotics for three days. This did help, but still the lungs were going up and down... Another visit to the doctor and then my blood was checked and a X-ray was made. Luckily nothing bad was found, but the lungs are still trouble, even after 5 weeks now.&lt;br /&gt;
But enough complaining, because October also had happy moments. There was a lot of crocheting, exams that I passed, my dad&#39;s birthday and I really enjoyed my ferret Mexy. Check out the pictures &amp;amp; all below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Making the pumpkin risotto. It took some effort (read: a full workout) to chop it into pieces. But with pumpkin it&#39;s always worth it, delicious as always.&lt;/div&gt;

After my week of exams I was free for one week. So I finally started a project I had on my mind for months. It involved cutting a lot, a lot, a lot of hexagons. It takes some time, but with some music or a tv show to watch it&#39;s quite relaxing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Also in that week I went to Bagels &amp;amp; Beans for lunch with a friend. There I had a delicious bagel with creamcheese, avocado &amp;amp; tomatoes. It was yumyumyum, so yum that I made my own in the weekend. A little downsized, but very delicious.&lt;/div&gt;

And I&#39;ve played my mellophone (a kind of horn) again since, ahum, more than 10 months. But it was lovely. The horn still worked and I still knew how to work it. I should take it out of it&#39;s bag more often.&lt;/div&gt;

I&#39;ve also photographed a lot of items for Etsy. Some of them I finished months ago, so it was about time to do it. You can &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jcln.etsy.com/&quot;&gt;find all the new items in the JCLN Etsy shop&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;

And at the end of the month it was my dad&#39;s 57th birthday! For the occasion I made an applepie with cocos and chocolate chip cookies. An interesting combination, but definitely worth repeating!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
_________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Waar september de maand van m&#39;n enkelblessure was, was oktober de maand van longproblemen.&lt;br /&gt;
Tegen de tijd dat m&#39;n enkel beter was, werd ik ziek. Dat is op zich niet heel raar. Zodra het weer omslaat, ben ik een paar dagen ziek doordat ik astma heb.&lt;br /&gt;
Na een paar dagen werd het wel beter, maar m&#39;n longcapaciteit bleef niet optimaal, waardoor ik ook weer meer moe was. Ik moest nog steeds lessen missen om de dag door te komen.&lt;br /&gt;
Dus ging ik naar de dokter en kreeg ik een mini antibioticakuur van 3 dagen. Dit hielp wel, maar m&#39;n longen gingen nog steeds op en neer. Bij een volgend bezoekje aan de dokter werd bloed afgenomen en een longfoto gemaakt. Gelukkig is er niks ernstigs gevonden, maar ik heb nog steeds longproblemen, inmiddels al 5 weken.&lt;br /&gt;
Maar genoeg geklaagd, want oktober had gelukkig ook fijne momenten. Zo heb ik veel gehaakt, mijn tentamens gehaald, de verjaardag van mijn vader gevierd en ik heb extra genoten van mijn fretje Mexy. Bekijk de foto&#39;s enzo hierboven.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bij de foto&#39;s:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hoi daar! Wat ben je aan &#39;t doen? Ik sliep net lekker! Zo&#39;n schattig koppie, om van te smelten. Vooral deze maand dat ik me wat minder voelde.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;pompoenrisotto maken. Het is ff wat werk (lees: een hele workout), maar dan heb je ook wat. Een pompoen in stukjes hakken is de moeite altijd waard, heerlijk eten.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Na mijn tentamenweek was ik een weekje helemaal vrij. Toen ben ik eindelijk begonnen aan een projectje wat ik al een aantal maanden in m&#39;n hoof had. Hiervoor moest ik veel, heel veel zeshoekjes knippen.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;En ook in die week lunchte ik met een vriendin bij Bagels &amp;amp; Beans, waar ik een heerlijke bagel met roomkaas, avocado en tomaat at. Zo lekker zelfs dat ik &#39;m in &#39;t weekend thuis zelf namaakte, yum!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ook heb ik mijn mellofoon (een soort hoorn) weer eens tevoorschijn gehaald er er sinds, ahum, ruim 10 maanden weer eens op gespeeld. Hij werkte nog en ik kon &#39;t ook nog aardig. Dit moet ik eigenlijk vaker doen...&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ik heb ook veel foto&#39;s gemaakt van items voor Etsy. Waaronder items die al maanden geleden klaar waren, hoog tijd dus. Je vindt &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jcln.etsy.com/&quot;&gt;alle nieuwe dingen in de JCLN Etsy shop&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Aan het eind van de maand werd mijn vader 57 jaar! Voor de gelegenheid heb ik een appeltaart met kokos en chocolate chip koekjes gebakken. Een interessante combinatie, maar hij is zeker voor herhaling vatbaar.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Een groot project, maar hij is inmiddels bijna klaar!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
