2008-10-16T16:07:00.005+02:00

Yesterday was Kalle already a month. You can't hardly imagine. The time goes to fast. It feels if yesterday that I went with my lovely belle to the hospital and a day later with a small baby in my arms. And now i know from the first time i saw hem he is my boy and i love more then life. The same to Adne.

I love my boys so much that i can cry when i think about them. There are moments when they are laying together in my bed or on the bank, i feel so blessed.
Tonight i will start with my first lo for his album. At this moment i'm still tired because breast feeding him take a lot of energy. There are 3 hours between the two feedings (even throw the nights)
Speak to you soon.

Today gave to the mailman me two kits. one from the creation and one of the dozens. Deliciously to unpack and enjoy what the ladies of the company put in the kit. the stuff is so beautiful. I hope that Thursday will be the day that i have some time to scrap. Only the problem is that scraproom became Adne's bedroom and on the second floor Sjoerd is working hard to make my new room. Only it take more time then we expected. So if there are scrappers for a great ideas about scraprooms or have pictures. please share it with me.

Baby room is ready

2008-09-05T14:44:00.007+02:00

Today i finish the babyroom and i like the style and decorations we used for this child. Adne's babyroom was with Winnie the Pooh. And he still love Winnie the Pooh. His best friend is Lumpy. When he tired or sad or feeling insecur he ask for Lumpy

At the door we placed some love stickers, we bought in France last summer. Above the bed we make a tent with a mobile. I hope that the baby came soon because everything is clean and the first of clothes are lying on the bed waiting for the moment. birth announcmentcards are ready. Sjoerd make a lovely poem a few days ago. And we are both very curious about the baby. What will be the colors of the hair, eyes. What for face will have, will it have my face of Sjoerd of a mix of both.

We have to wait and wait only we are losing sometimes our patience.
Speak to you soon.

Yesterday started my leave. 4 weeks for the delivery date. I hope that the baby will came soon because i only have to decorated the room a little bit with some painting on the wall and stickers at the door.
My body is hurting a lot, most of the time my belly is feeling hard and my ribs on the right side hurt. Sometimes it hurt so much that i start crying. Nobody can take pain away. I hate that.
Sjoerd already told my that he thinks that the baby will come soon because i'm cleaning the house and i'm restless. I hope he right.

At this moment i have still no time to scrapbook. i hope that it will be next week. I mis scrapbooking a lot. Next week beter.

Found it

2008-08-08T17:38:00.005+02:00

Today i went to the IKEA and found finally my idea for the baby room. Okay i know that the baby will come very soon.
I like the Barnslig style. It's so cute.

I had also today a opponiment by the doctor and he told me that the baby has grow very fast. He/she have the size of baby in week 37 instead 33 weeks, the next week they take some test to found out how this is possible. It means that it weight 3 kilo +/- 5oo gram. And that's heavy for my belly and back. Stil i'm doing okay. I hope that the baby will keep inside for 3 weeks so that al the organs and lungs will grow for a baby for 37 weeks instead 33 weeks and then ... update soon.

An other question to you. Can somebody help me with Inkscape for the robocraft. I wanna let the robocraft to cut my baby card only i don't understand Inkscape. Is there an other computer program that understand mesurements like Coreldraw. Normally i use Microsoft Publisher for it. And now i have a little problem in Inkscape because of the mesurements. HELP.
Thanx already.

Have a nice weekend.

Some baby news

2008-07-03T20:10:00.007+02:00

Today i went to the doctor for appionment for butterfly. The doctor told that the little have long legs, because these run in front approximately 2 weeks. His/Her head is okay. We still don't know the gender of our child. We already say against each other we don't know the gender it will be a surprise for the next 12 weeks. With Adne we didn't know also.
The little butterfly lies with his/her butt down and in about 6 weeks he/she can turn with his/her head down other wise the doctor will help turning it. So i keep my fingers crossed.

Have a nice weekend with a lot of sunshine and moments to be creative.

Being Okay

2008-05-15T15:09:00.004+02:00

Last time i have less time to blog but there are several reasons.

One big (not funny) reason that there is lot work to make for my school. We make our own exercise for the students. After the summer holiday i go on maternity leave and i will use my time for to get everything ready and spending time with Adne. So no more school work for my till January.
Next one that we are very busy with family visit.
The trail with the lovely landrover is also asking time

Yesterday i went to my doctor because i'm not feeling well. A little bit to much tired (for someone who's 21 weeks pregnant) and keeping a lot of fluid in my legs and arms. And it's hurting me a lot. The doctor told me that i must contract more quietly to do. But that is this way difficult, because there must become still so much done. Look at my first point. He told me that everything is oaky with the baby. That's great news. I was a little bit concerned. He makes a echo about the heart of butterfly.
But at this moment i feeling better and i hope that i can keep it this way till the end of Septembre.

Love Simone

The gynaecologist cannot find the gender of the little one. So we wait for the next ultrasone.
The little one have a pet name: Butterfly. Because most of the time i can feel move all over in my belly, it's like tickling.

2008-02-19T09:40:00.006+01:00

My dear friend Eeffie has a challenge this year for a roledex. I'm a little bit behind but last evening i had some time to make this to little cards.

For the letter C she used the word Challenge. My biggest challenge this year find balance between work and spending my spare time. There are moments when it works and i'm feeling great. There are also moments that there is no balance and i became very tired and then i'm frightened that i will be sick again.

For the letter D she used Dreams. Like everyone i have also dreams. One dreams is being pregnant of our next child. I hope that it than will be a girl.
An other dreams is publish some projects in a magazine. My dream is also a healthy life for my loveones.

Today i finished my grateful project. Throw this prompt i realize that there is always something to be grateful for.
Everyday i will looking now for something i'm grateful for.

Week 25: a photo that means something to you....
This photo means a lot to me because this photo is token when Adne is for the first time in the snow. He was 9 months old. Anouk is Adne's best friend. They have played a lot time to gether and the still play together.

Week 24: rembember when......
When i read this prompt i realize that there are people who love me no matter what happend. Thank you guys for your ever lasting love. It also make a little bit sad.

Week 23: right now.
I liked this prompt because throw this prompt i realize that my life is okay. When i look back at this year not everything is looking so good. I start in January with a fever but the fever became a sickness with no name. I was still laying in my bed with 40 degrees and sweeting. In May the sickness is getting a name. With this name i slowly recover. My condition was so bad that i can walk 500 metres in 15 minutes and have to rest for a hour. After the summer i can walk 5 km in a hour and there are less moments that i have to rest.
And now in October i can run 3 km in 25 minutes, so i can see i'm back in life again.
Only there are moments when everything is going bad and at that moment that is a little attack and that is still can go on with my life.
That is also the reason why in the period January till June there a few post.

Tomorrow i will post the prompt off this week. SCarY.
Have a nice day.

2007-10-15T20:09:00.000+02:00

The prompt from Emily: is magic carpet.

When i read about the magic carpet at that moment i was thinking about the holidays in France and Norway. In France we go for the days full of sun. We go swimming in the Atlantic Ocean. The water is then about 20 degrees Celsius.
In Norway we go for the snow. ( in the summer in the mountains there is a lot of snow).

In week 29 the prompt is perfect.

The text is Throw your eyes the world is perfect, throw my eyes inperfect. I hope that you can change it.
The world is (in)perfect. If i look the world i think the world is inperfect because it always there is possible why that can go better but that has to there also experience that you have seen already a lot of things and can come along you it there compare.
When you are still a child then are possible you draw from the impressions which you have made up still but and then the world sees, however, differently.

Week 28 is goal of the week

The goal of this week is clean my scraproom because it is a mess. I have the size of playing card to work on. And that isn't much.
I've read on the blog of PJ about making your own foam stamps. This week i will make some stamps. I love the idea.
Soon i will show you some stamps i make by my own.

Not anymore

Emily's prompt this week is not anymore. You can translate it in a lot of different opions. Little chidern grow up, your own habits can change. I learn throw the years to try be myself and like myself.

Week 31 the prompt is no regrets.
When i tought at this prompt i realize that i like to spend most of my time with my family and friends. Sometimes means that i can't scrap or do some work for my job. When I was very sick I have realised what family and friends for you can mean.

The prompt for week 30 is count your blessings.
When a start counting my blessings i was thinking on my husband, son and my family. I like the job i have (i'm a teacher) and love my few good friends.

Today a tip which in fact very easy and rapidly to use.
If you used your characters or form then you got left overs. And there is something very funny you can do with them.
You can stamp, paintings or doodle them. And then you can put them everywhere you like.
Much pleasure with the tip.

Extra tip: you can also use them also for mask.
