Crochet - New handbag

My old handbag was already damaged quite a long time. Long time I thought is should make a new bag.
Finally I did it. Last week I went shopping to find some nice (and cheap)  yarn. I found the 'bulky' yarn which I bought at the Hema.

Now I finally could start my bag. It was actually quite easy to make. First I made a large rectangle. Then I made a fold about 1/3 of the length. I only needed to stitch the sides together and the basis of my bag was ready.  I made a simple thin shoulder strap and a button from a large bead. And ta-dah my bag is ready

 I am very happy with it. It just a nice small bag, just big enough for my wallet keys and phone.

Dessert- Quark creme pudding

Once every two weeks I go eating with my parents and every time I make a dessert. If I skip one time there are five sad faces looking my way so this is going to be a long tradition. :)

Yesterday I made a quark creme pudding. I first made the quark-lemon creme and then put it in the vreezer.  After it its frozen I got it out like a popsicle, this didn't go so easy as I thought it would, next time I need to use silicon forms I guess.

Once it was out of the form I dipped it in some fig jam to get a nice sweet glace over it.

 Then it only needed to thaw to get an nice temperature and there it was. Some nice quark creme puddings.

They were quite nice. The sour from the quark and lemon mixed pretty good with the sweetness of the fig jam. This is certainly a recipe to make again.

Recipe is from the book : Patisserie from Christophe Felder

Fun with coloring

Hello welcome on my blog. Here I will take you on my journey to creativity. I don't really think I am creative but I love being busy with all kind of things like painting, crochet, origami etc. Also baking is one of my hobbies. So you will find anything which I am busy with here on my blog :D

Two days ago I bought a coloring book for adults. I really love the diversity of subject within.

This is the first coloring which I colored. I really love this one especially the blue tiny flowers. The fun thing about coloring is that a picture comes alive and you can see that here pretty good. The only hard thing is that I only have two green pencils and there is a lot of green in this one. So I had to mix some green colors turned out nice :D

 I still had some wax crayons lying around and I was curious what it would do on a coloring. So I searched a picture with large spaces to try them but I am not really happy with it. The yellow, orange and light green didn't turned out so nice :(. So this was my first and last picture with wax crayons.

This one became a bit boring so I made the rest black. Very happy with that choice, because the colors really stand out this way.
