My hand-Foot syndrome consisted of a numb feeling in fingers and feet, for the past 1,5 years.

Now I get BLISTERS under my feet when I walk on my favourite flip flops (or any other kind of shoes)

My uggs (which are ready for the trash can) are much too hot for the summer.

Is above picture the only solution?

HELP!

The Heroic Weather

Kids to school camp

3 days together with my wonderful hubby

today the movies

Moonrise Kingdom

Sweet and funny

In the beautiful Eye

And days like this are sweet

Spent a couple of days in Llafranc, Spain with friends

We spent our days in the sun, on the boat, in the sea, playing, eating

Especially the moments on the boat were sweet

That is special to me

Put a smile upon our face

Eviva España

Me and the kids for a short break in Spain

                          

                                          

Looking for Tapiovaara

I saw this stool in a window of a second hand store a couple of weeks a go, just before our vacation.

The stool stayed in my mind and I decided to buy it as soon as I came back.

It appeared to be a design boutique, not a second hand store.

The stool wasn't 45 euro's what I thought it was worth but 320 euro's!!!

 Now my search has begun for an 'accidental' discovery of this design classic.

So if your grandma has one in her barn or attic, I can trade it for bottles of elderflower syrup :-)

Projects

I have compulsive behaviours :-)

Normally my work and other activities keep it under control but now it's gone wrong.

I have already bottled 60 liters of elderflower syrup. Still 30 liters to go and then I will call it a day.

Also it keeps me from too much thinking. 

Today a bad day.

Stopped with one of my painkillers. 

Maybe gone cold turkey or was Tramadol an upper?

Tea Garden

We organized a Tea Garden for one day.

In Marieke's beautiful "hide away" in the Jordaan.

During the 'open garden sunday'.

We had the best help we could find. Kikki, Liza and Zorana

It was fun!
