Mostly pictures of garden plants, cooking, and crafts.
I'm ready to start the next cross stitch. This one is bigger than the hedgehog and needs to be finished by June as I want to make it a birthday gift for the awesome brother that made me a 3D printed attachment for my embroidery stand, so it can hold plastic snap frames too. ☺️🧶🧵🪡

Today's lunch: self baked bread. Not as airy as my previous (first) attempt, and the crust got a bit dark. Still tastes awesome though! 🍜 🍽️

The last bit of cross stitch from 2025. The project I started yesterday to bring to my parent's place. Didn't actually get a whole lot done because we also spent a lot of time playing boardgames together, but still pleased with the progress! 🧵 🧶 🪡

Spent all day yesterday "cross stitching" without making a single cross stitch. 😆 I detangled and wound all the old flosses I had stored in a ziplock bag on bobbins and cut (and split most of) the thread for a new project I brought along to my parent's place where I am spending most of today. 🪡 🧶 🧵

It's the most wonderful time of the year: Time for mom's oliebollen!! Yum 🥰 🍽️ 🍜

One Christmas dinner, done! 🍜 🍽️ Carpaccio as a starter, then a full table of meat, potatoes and vegetables, and ice for dessert. Thanks to mom, I didn't have to cook this year (only helped with groceries, setting the table and doing dishes).

Today's crafting wasn't cross stitch but only half stitches. On plastic canvas. It's supposed to become a little 3D Christmas train and wagon. It looks simple but it is actually a bit more challenging than cross stitch, as the back will be visible so needs to look presentable as well. 😅 🪡 🧶 🧵

Took it easy with the cooking today. ☺️Mealprep number 5 was also dinner: Hutspot. ☺️ And number six is just a bunch of half-boiled (they will become more boiled when heating again) vegetables, as a base for gado gado. 🍽️ 🍜

Mealprep number three is started. A chicken-apple curry. With as many vegetables as the slowcooker can hold.🍽️ 🍜

Second bit of mealprep: honey garlic glazed salmon. Great when hot, also great cold in a salad, so I often keep a few of these ready in the freezer. Got the recipe from @thisgrilllife.bsky.social a year ago and it has definitely become staple now! 🍜 🍽️

The first pan of food prep, one of many to come these next weeks: apple sauce. 🍽️🍜 Now the whole kitchen is sticky with apple juice and splatter 😅 But also, the whole room smells like apples, vanilla, cinnamon and star anise. 🥰

Keeping the momentum going. Pens with ink that can be erased with heat arrived today, so I decided to try them out on a biscornu kit I still had to do. The grid really helps a lot, I got quite a bit done already.

Turned out I needed 2,5 hours. But it is done. The red pot and green leaves make this feel a bit Christmassy! I almost forgot how nice it is to spend long stretches of time crafting, like I did tonight. 😌 🪡 🧶 🧵

Finished this weekend. Two cheap crochet kits, enough material to make a third. Never again though, the yarn sometimes just fell apart and the written pattern was very unclear, forcing me to use the much slower tutorial videos. I did write my own notes, so I can make proper ones to gift. 🧶

Finally tried the last of my birthday gifts: a pin loom. I love it! Less than 30 minutes to make this square, and that is while reading the instructions too. I thought I needed thicker yarn, but the look and feel of this single square make me think more of them will make an awesome light scarf! 🪡 🧶

Figured I hadn't eaten anything with potato in ages, so meal prepped some potato things. A sauerkraut oven dish, and two stamppotten: one with carrot and onion and the other with leek and bell pepper. Also sharing my failures and not just succeses: the first batch of sauerkraut burned. 🍽️🍜

Wanted to try a stamped cross stitch, to see what it is like to not have to count. It's fast! This is just 2 hours of progress, almost done with a single color. Daylight is fading fast though, so the rest will have to wait.. 🧶🪡

Wedding party tomorrow, so it was time to make a gift. The crochet lovebirds are sitting on a "nest" of "branches", made of rolled up money bills and wrapped in brown thread. Background is a cutout of the invitation card. 🪡🧶🧵

Back to work after four weeks of vacation. Immediately stuck in a boring meeting, so here is a thread with some vacation pictures ;-) First off: Birthday baking!
Party today, so two kinds of cakes baked. Apple crumble on the left, lemoncurd and passion fruit on the right. 🍜🍽️

Baked my first bread this morning. Just a plain white bread from a box mix, there's some room for improvement but it tasted like warm, fresh bread so I'm happy! 😃🍽️🍜

Besides weeds, there's also quite a few things growing/blooming in the garden right now. The ones below are the result of a flower mix I have sown. The orange flowers are so bright that my camera had a hard time focusing! The flowers seem to be popular with the local insect population as well. 🌱

Such a small garden, such a ridiculous amount of weeds despite the ground covering plants... They just keep growing straight through! 🌱

There's some spare room in the freezer after two weeks of eating meal-prepped dinners. I'll fill it with Dutch babi pangang this weekend, which means I also need a Dutch 'version' of acar to go with it. So, I made a lot of acar today, it's pickling in the fridge right now. 🍽️ 🍜
