It was decided that after a hectic year filled with pregnancy, marriage and the birth of twins we’d throw in a house-sale and move to top it all off.
We’re putting our lovely one-bedroom apartment up for sale and hope to move to somewhere we don’t have to climb over furniture to get in to our beds at night. Wish us luck!
p.s. the cats have accepted their fate and are making do with the edges of the couch now…
The cats, who normally merely tolerate each other, are joining forces and upping their stakes in the sudden ‘cute’ competition for attention…

Pien (girl) & Teun (boy)
Frits (boy) & Charlotte (girl).
Teun and Pien were born 6th March and we couldn’t be happier :)
I finished the crocheted mobile I was working on.
It now hangs above the changing-table to give our brood something to look at while we change an infinite amount of daipers…
It started with my husbands request for a nose-warmer to fit our proboscis-monkey and quickly turned into a small crochet mania.
Being pregnant with twins is the ideal time for a girl to teach herself how to crochet. It’s not too difficult and is a soothing pass-time for all the obligatory hours spent with feet up.
I moved from nose-warmer onto small toys and then onto a bigger project, namely, a twin play rug.
(The crocheted ornament in the top photo was done by my mum, who’s further ahead in the crochet game and could teach me a thing or two if I wasn’t so stubborn and frankly unteachable.)
Finally, with a few days left to kill I embarked on a ‘mobile’ project which I’ll finish tomorrow. (Just a couple of balls left to add)
And then I will have my hands too full of babies to crochet for a while.
:)
I turned the living room into a temporary florist as I prepared the table settings and bouquet.
We got married on 30-11-11 at 11:30 in the oldest room at Haarlem townhall.
Two roses in the bouquet to represent the twins I’m carrying.
The shoes I wore as a bridesmaid to the wedding of dear friends.
A lovely lunch was enjoyed with a small group of friends and family after the ceremony.
Our honeymoon on ‘de Veluwe’.
The luxury hotel’s Christmas decorations were sparse, thankfully.
Reflection of my husband…
Autumn! A weekend away with my future in-laws.
Visiting a non-existent island.
Finding rest and recuperation from the twin pregnancy with hotel baths and breakfasts, a ‘pretty woman’ style shopping spree and fancy restaurants.
Back home greeted by stunning Dahlia’s (and a glimpse of our wedding invitation!:D) JOY!
I have been very busy working on TWO big projects…
and these first couple of months have left me too tired to work on anything else.
I don’t mind because I already know these twins are going to be the best thing I’ll have ever done.
I have found time in between eating and sleeping to dye some romper-suits though, cause who wants boring white?
