Happy New Year!!!

Now that I have published (almost) all of 2011 that I hadn't published yet, only one thing left:

I wish you all a very happy 2012!!

Next year I hope to show to you (a.o.): the scarf shown here (almost finished), an update of my hexagon plaid (not almost finished) and the sheep I started ('Floortje het Schaap' from Christel Krukkert) which is going very well.

Other 2011

Finally the other things and projects over 2011:

Room decoration

  I didn't know where to keep my lemon. I really like lemons, but do not use them that much. So it has lived in this spoon for quite a while :). Looks nice, doesn't it?

Lovely lunches

Last year, I went for a stroll in a park nearby. They do have a very cute tea cottage were they serve lunch. Here we had a sandwich with serrano ham, olives, parmezan cheese, sundried tomatoes, lettuce and truffel oil. It was really delicious, so we made it again several times during the summer :).

Also during summer, I went to the beach with some friends and we had lunch there. This time with goat cheese, rucola, honey and pine seeds. Also really delicious and worth repeating.

Projects 
This painting I made after this flowers :).

 Also this summer we decided to give making a mosaic a go. No picure of the result yet, but it was really easy and fun to do :).

 

Since my mum has a lot of purple clothes, she wanted to have a purple necklace. Because she couldn't find one in the shops, we made one.

(Picture will probably follow ;))

From this clay session, we had some leftovers, from which I also made beads. I didn't know what to do with them, but eventually they turned into this key chain :).

Flowers 2011

Continuing the things and projects over 2011 that I did not yet show, the flowers:

  These (both up and down) are from my parents' garden :).

This one I used as an inspiration source for my painting (shown here).

 

 These are bought at a flower stand near the road. Dahlias and sunflowers, I really love the combination of flowers and colors!

Cakes 2011

These are the things and projects over 2011 that I did not yet show. I'll do that now so I can start 2012 fresh. To start with the cakes:

First of all, I graduated for my BSc this year! This called for (lots of) cake :). The image on the cake is drawn by myself in the style of Blond Amsterdam. I had it printed on a frosty sheet at 'de leukste taarten prints.nl'.

And I got flowers of course :).

I never had worked with fondant before so we tried it out on this cake:

I myself do really like this one, especially since it was the first one ever!

Merry Christmas

I know it's too late to wish you a Merry Christmas, but  I do hope you all did have a very Merry Christmas.

(On the door a lovely Christmas wreath made by my mum)

This year I again made mincepies, and also this year they didn't last very long :).

Almost ready for 2012!
XOXO Bambi
