welcome!
here i am again! sorry it took a while before i wrote this post. i hope it goes very well with you, i’m doing fine!
thanks for your good advice i received in response to my previous post. for those who thought i no longer like blogging, i enjoy doing it, i really do.
as for a better use of my time and energy, if i put everything in a nutshell it is a matter of focusing on 1. crocheting and 2. blogging, 3. decrease the tempo and reduce the time being busy with related activities. i have stopped the ability to write comments at some older posts. it takes me a lot of time and too much energy to try to explain patterns (which i don’t have (anymore)) from years ago. believe me, i like to tell about what i crochet and if i manage to write the pattern down i will and i really, really love to share patterns/tutorials with crafters who are interested.
thanks again for thinking with me!

i also wrote about a day trip. thursday the 12th my cousin renée and i went for the afternoon to stichting aap = foundation aap, for a program including a tour especially for donators – for quite a number of years i save my air miles for them. because of my hearing problems i was unable to follow in detail what our guide told but i thought it was nice to be there. below you can see a few pictures.
and here are two links to their website which is available in dutch, english, german, spanish and french (see top right on the homepage)
- stichting aap is een europees opvangcentrum voor uitheemse dieren. de dieren die bij ons terecht komen zijn afkomstig van de illegale handel, proefdierlaboratoria, circussen, louche dierentuinen of rechtstreeks van particulieren.

- aap is a european rescue centre and sanctuary for primates and other exotic mammals. based in the netherlands, we house animals from all over europe. they have been confiscated, abandoned or offered by private owners as a result of illegal trade, were being exhibited in illegal zoos or used in biomedical research or the entertainment industry.

who is looking at who?
groom each other
that is interesting
just being outdoors
quarantine, hoping for better times
also i was lucky, the weird birthmark appeared to contain no malignant cells, the stitches are removed and that was that.
about crocheting
the little cousin of my neighbor I had promised a garland with cars and I kept that promise.
i am still working on five bags which are almost finished but two need to be provided with a liner, more about them soon and also on a larger project, but that i keep a secret for now. in between i have made another pot hanger of which i wanted the colors match the prints on the wall and i think that’s succeeded.
that is it for this moment, i hope to see you soon here or elswhere on the ‘interwebs’:)
enjoy your week!
