After finishing a translation job last week, I've been knitting.
I proudly present: my 2nd, 3rd and 4th Ranunculus sweaters.

I have not one, not two, but THREE persimmon trees in my garden. The fruit is deliciously sweet.

I finished my first Ranunculus!

Am I implying there will be more?
Yes, I certainly am. 😜 #knitting

Blocking before sewing in the lining. I’m quite pleased with how this bag turned out. Saw a pic on Pinterest, searched the internet, found a blog in Italian, translated it and here’s the result. #boho #bag #crochet

And here’s a photo of a piece of the Dutch blueberry cheesecake I made (kwarktaart). I almost forgot to take a photo! 😂 it doesn’t look quite as good as it tasted. #vegan

Y'all, I just created my own #vegan Dutch #cheesecake recipe.
Will post a photo later today. 😀

Good morning, afternoon or evening, wherever you are. It's a beautiful sunny morning in central Portugal. A bit of an autumn chill in the air already. A perfect day for a long walk with the dogs.

It made me laugh.

We had to say goodbye to our lovely feisty little fox of a dog Gisela. She spent her first 11 years in a hoarding situation and the last 7 years with us. I love her so much.
