It's been too quiet here lately. Too much work (PhD, still not finished), too many activities with friends ... So I thought I could post some pictures of earrings I made, and the matching hairpins. Stay put for a give away with those earrings and hairpins, but I'd like to have more followers before that... So why not increase the odds and follow my blog?

Oorbellen/earrings
't Is hier wat stil geweest de laatste tijd - teveel werk (doctoraat ...), teveel activiteiten (film, toneelvoorstelling, naailes, ... jammer genoeg te weinig boogschieten, maar dat komt morgen in orde), efkes op en af naar Lausanne (Zwitserland) voor een job interview (gelukkig heb ik eens 'n boek kunnen lezen tijdens de 6 uur durende treinritten) ... Dus in plaats van een naaipost, een post met oorbellen en bijpassende haarspeldjes. 'n Beetje lente omdat de lente op zich laat wachten. Deze oorbellen en haarspeldjes zouden volgens mij een leuke give away kunnen zijn, maar net zoals zij vind ik dat ik niet genoeg volgers heb om een give away op poten te zetten. Maar wie weet komt dat snel in orde ;-)

Sunday cooking and baking
I'm not much of a cook, really. I get inspired by all those TV-shows where everything seems so easy and feasible. I try to think ahead when I go shopping for food, things like that. Imagine the good meals I could put together every day. But when it comes down to it, I just work until I get hungry, and then I need something that's whipped together really fast. Pasta, a bowl of soup, sandwiches. But yesterday, on Sunday, I woke up and thought I could cook ahead.
I love to make quiche, because it allows you to whisk together what you have, and it never fails you. This time, I made a quiche with the following ingredients: smoked salmon - spring onions - cherry tomatoes - mozzarella - corn (leftover from the night before). It's just delicious.
But that's not the only thing I made. I have a sweet tooth and decided to try some "Klaaskoeken", apparently typically Flemish sandwich-like pastry (I've eaten them all my life - I love how they taste. Just add a slice of cheese and dip them in hot chocolate milk. It's my comfort food). I used my bread machine and followed this recipe. This inspired me to make chocolate buns with the rest of the dough. And I must say, it looked yummy even before tasting it.
I'm feeling quite proud of myself: I have prepared a few decent meals and I'll have something sweet for breakfast. It should always be this easy :-)

That's going to be a real treat for breakfast |

Some bunny loves you
A late blogpost about an easter present: a cute mug filled with homemade chocolate cookies (Nigella's Totally chocolate cookies, without the melted chocolate). It doesn't always need to be easter eggs :-)

Kringloopwinkel - thrift store finds
Last saturday, my mum and I went to the Kringloopwinkel (for those interested: the one in Kortrijk). And I must say, it was a HUGE score ... for the both of us. Wool for my mum, fabrics for me. Yay!
