Because H. felt sorry for me (because I have to suffer through several dentist treatments) he gave me a new bead today. It is the “Snails in Love”. He chose this one because we love to be lazy in the weekend and just sleep in and watch TV in bed until it’s time for [...]
I still maintain that I am not addicted. But one of my colleagues took me to the jewelers she buys her Trollbeads at, and they had such a big selection….
New beads are: The first glass bead is the Double Flower (dark purple), a retired bead. The second is the Forget-Me-Not bead. The last new one [...]
Not at all. I just got two new Trollbeads, one as a gift, and one I bought myself. But it was limited, so I couldn’t wait. The China (blue glass bead) was a gift) and the Peacock Pearl I got myself.
This is my new bracelet, a Trollbeads bracelet. Trollbeads are bead-charms that slide on a silver bracelet and are available in silver, gold (and a combination) and glass/precious stones. There are over 400 different beads to choose from, not even including all the retired beads. Oh, and the clasp is interchangeable too.
A different brand [...]
I just returned from a four day business trip to Bern for my work for Planets. In between training days and presentations, luckily I had some time to check out the (old) city and take some pictures. The picture on the left is taken from the Kirchenfeldbrücke when we were walking to the archives, early [...]
Because of a promotion from Holiday Inn back in the summer, we got a free night to spend at one of their (participating) hotels. Because it was just one night, we had to find somewhere that was close enough to get to within a couple of hours and where the travel and entertainment would [...]
We just returned from a great trip to the south of England. We flew into the London-Luton airport from Amsterdam. We had rented a car and picked up a brand new Ford Focus and drove off.
We first went to St. Albans, a short drive from Luton. We visited the cathedral there and had lunch. Afterwards [...]
Finally I got it, my very own display cabinet for my massive Bette Midler collection. I have been wanting it and planning for it for months, and last weekend my mom came over, with her car, so we went to Ikea and got it.
It is a Besta, and I filled it with shelves, drawers, [...]
H. and I build our own house a couple of nights ago :D. It was a gingerbread house, but still. I had given H. the kit for Sinterklaas, and it was meant as a present for him as much as for me.
We have seen gingerbread houses on TV, in American movies and TV shows, [...]
I was on a roll… I stitched so much these past weeks, and now I have had to stop. Last weekend I developed, what I have seen coming for a couple of weeks now, a ganglion cyst on my right wrist. Basically it is a balloon of joint fluid that sits on top of the [...]
