WinterEfteling

To stay in touch with each other after college my friends and I try to see each other around 4 times a year, birthdays not included. 1 of these days together we usually go to the Efteling. Our all time favourite attraction park. (It's the best I've been too, including Moviepark germany and Eurodisney. The Efteling does have super rollercoasters (Joris and the dragon is the best) but there are also more quiet and dreamy rides like Droomvlucht and my altime favourite FataMorgana) So there we went last sunday to the WinterEfteling. It's the same as the summer Efteling, only the whole park is decorated with wintertheme's. Huge 3d cards, lights in the trees, fake snow on some trees, an iceskating ring and so on. The best thing are the huge campfires, much needed too. We had a great day with "poffertjes"(miniture pancakes) and a lot of hot chocolade milk.

1st: Vogelrock; a rollercoaster in the dark. 2nd: One of the many houses in the "Land van Laaf" (country of the Laaf people)

Even though the campfires I was very cold on the end of the day, so we didn't make it till 8 pm but we did have a great day. But next time we go in a warmer month!

Have a nice week!

Busy week

Hi there,
I'm sorry I don't update this blog as much as I wish. But I'm very busy with my study which is finally comming to an end, not yet there but I can see the finish line!
Last friday I had a day off and went to my parents. There still are a lot of flowers in my moms garden, which I find suprising in November:

This "sunny" fower just made my day!

The is also a plant that makes lovely darkblue/purple seeds on red branches:

I really gona paint this ones, some time soon! (made with Instagram on my Iphone)

And of course; House had to climbe the only tree there was:

King of the garden!! ( the red line snapped today in my own garden, and he went on an adventure in the neighbourgardens, I was totally stressed out. My neighbour caught him and now he's not going out for a little while!)

 Of course he wanted to come down eventually, and needed a little help

Can you get me out, please!

He also managed to fall into the water, so I had to give him a bath. It was an eventfull day for him.

I'll try to blog some more the next weeks!

Have a nive week!

Susan

Creative weekend

Inkt, inktense blocks and  handmade stamps.

I've just been drawing a bit; using inkt, inktense blocks and stamps. I even made a new one; the tulip. Which I used to make the last card to send to my granny! :)

Boots for me, a playbox for House

I purchased some new boots and House really loved the box.

House didn't seem to be interested in the box anymore this morning, so before the big weekly clean-up I put in on the table, before I would throw it away. And yeah there he was totaly happy with it again, looking with pleading eyes; Please may I keep the box. And to make matters worse, he didn't just sit in it but played in it....

Sorry for the bad resolution, but it was still dark this morning and the big lamplight just didn't give enough light for my Iphone.

Lucky for me; he just played for half an hour. Afther that I did throw it away ;)
Wanna see more video's of House; visit youtube and search for SusanvdM

I hope you all will have a great weekend

How did he get up there?

House on the birdhouse!

I don't know how he got up there! He could not come down on his own, bit weird isn't it. He clearly is enjoying the last days of summer! This morning I found him halfway the hedge, with is vertical hmmmm. too bad I wasn't in time with my camera and he didn't want to do it again.

Park SpoorNoord, Antwerpen

Westside of the park

Eastside of the park

Some studie material, this park in Antwerpen is quite new. The park has a basic layout and is very well used! Even in de rain ;)

Amsterdam

I had to go to Amsterdam, to take some photo's of a park and I found this great little street. Don't you just love little alley between house so you can see the "hidden" world there is on the other side? I really do!
