Portugal

Last week we went to Portugal to celebrate one last holiday together before our baby will be born. It was so nice to relax and think about all the exiting things that are coming. We had a lot of fun, although the weather wasn't great. Because it was raining a lot, I didn't take a lot of pictures, but here are some nice ones...

I did make some drawings though, of which I showed some on Twitter and maybe here later.

The weeks before Portugal were very hectic. We got new doors, windows and window stills, but lots of things when wrong and need to be redone. we also bought some baby furniture and got new white linen curtains for our living room in summer. I really hope to take some pictures soon, but it's such a mess in here because of all the construction work, it will have to wait.

BTW, I still don't like what blogger does to my pictures, the look less bright and sharp, any advise on that?

Stockholm

I'm making room in my house and in my head to prepare for the little boy that we are expecting in May. This also means that my old PC has to move out and therefore I'm browsing through my holiday pictures and that reminded me of a promise I made to you, namely that I would publish some pictures of our visit to Stockholm last July.
So here they are, if you like them, I might publish some more pictures of other holidays here as well. Perhaps London, Sicily, Berlin or Maroc?

BTW, what does Blogger to my pictures? They somehow look less sharp and less soft at the same time....Anyone ideas what to do about that?

Still renovating our house...

Hi guys, it's been a while, isn't it? I just couldn't find the time to make more blogposts. There are so many things I would like to do before the baby is born and I just don't have as much energy. We are renovating the guest room, so it can be both guest room and study in one to make space for a nursery. And we are having new windows and doors in some of the rooms and replaced a radiator. In between, we thrifting furniture for the nursery and renovating that too. If you are following me on Twitter, you'll get a glimpse of all that.

But, although I haven't been blogging as much as I would have liked lately, I did make some pictures and scans  for my blog.  This stamp I made for the son of a friend who was baptised last summer.
