Groeten uit de Keukenhof! (2)

My kids love Elmo's Monster Maker on iPad! This one was too cute not to share! The munchkin made it!

Bunny hop

My version of the Easter Bunny! Going after the carrots?





And some pretty butterflies.



This Sunday Market we will have a different cookie concept! No prepacked boxes of cookies, but individually wrapped and heatsealed cookies you can pick yourself!



They will stay fresh even longer, and they are wrapped in foodsafe bags, closed wit a heatsealer, so they are air and watertight! If, like me, you need more proof... Yes, I tried. Hehehehehe.



See you sunday!

Kwak.

That's what Dutch ducks say. More new cookies. These will also be in the shop soon. And of course they will be for sale at the Sunday Market! Adorable!!!

Eat your veggies!

Fresh, sweet and crunchy, just like real carrots! Available at the Sunday Market on April 1st and soon in the Etsy shop!

Groeten uit de Keukenhof

On April 1st, Mjammie koekjes will be at the Sunday Market again! So I have been baking like crazy to make some yummy spring cookies. And I will be giving you a sneak peek the next couple of days!

So, these are new. And kind of cute. After the sunday market they will be available in the Etsy shop too!

Another photo frame

Another birthday, another photo frame! This one was made by the munchkin herself. And anyone can make one using Hama beads! My kids love them! So I had the munchkin make a frame, ironed it together and stuck a piece of cardboard to the back using a glue gun. With this supercute result!





Attach a small strip of cardboard to the back with ducttape, so the frame can stay upright.



How cool would these be with a magnet stuck at the back, and using them as fridge magnets! Or make one for fathers day, so he can hang it in his car!

Just use a square board for the beads, make four or five rows of beads in the color of your choice and iron them. Glue a photo to the cardboard, glue the cardboard to the frame (make sure you use the side you want to be the back) and attach a strip of cardboard. And voilà!

By the way, you can buy Hama beads at almost any toystore, and also at Ikea. Have fun!

"Easter", "Eggs" and "Cookies"

Easter is approaching. So I am making easter eggs. Cookies, that is. Easter cookies. Or easter cookie eggs. Or easter egg cookies. Anyhow. They are pretty.



The ladybug cookies will be ready soon, together wth the announcement of the ladybug winner!

Just for the occasion we will be selling these and other cookies at the Sunday Market on April 1st. Hope to see you there!

Buggin'

Spring is in the air! Along with an infestation of ladybugs. There are worse things. Like an infestation with... Wel... Any other bug, really.

These are just the ladybugs that I could get in one frame!!! How awesome is that!!!



I'll make this one into a giveaway... The first person to get the correct number of ladybugs in all the pics in this post will win a box of ladybug cookies!!! Post your answer in the comments and I will sit back and let you do the countin'. Remember, it's about ALL the ladybugs in ALL the pics!

**A small change, just to make sure you won't just guess, there will be a winner chosen randomly among the people who had the right answer!**

They are pretty though.



The little man and his little stone bunny think so too.

Cookie Nerdness

Today I made a batch of new labels for my cookies. I feel so modern!!!



Do you see what I mean? I made myself a QR code!!! Yes, I am now officially a Nerd. Capital N and all. You need to be to get this excited about a cookie label with a QR code.

Just in case you want to check if it works, a pic for you to scan!!!



If you want to see the real thing, you'll just have to order a box of Mjammie cookies!!!

Mjammie, koekjes for Warchild

I have been thinking long and hard how I can make a (small) difference in the world. And now with the 538 for Warchild week I can't just sit on my hands any more. So it's with great pride that I announce that (in Dutch)


Van alle koekjes die vandaag verkocht worden gaat de opbrengst volledig naar Warchild!!!


So order your cookies today, send them to someone you love and support warchild!

Lego Photo Frame tutorial

By now you know that we are totally obsessed with legos. At least my husband is. So I made him a photo frame with his favorite toy.





If you want to make your own, it's really easy. This picture will show you all you need to know. I superglued the blocks together so it's easier to change the picture inside, the only loose part is the green sheet. You will need:

One large lego sheet for backing
Several smaller lego sheets as the bottom of your frame
Lego bricks
Superglue

Make a frame from the smaller lego sheets. Glue the bricks on top. Make sure that the bricks overlap the sheets one row in the center so your picture will slide neatly underneath the bricks. I do advise to build the frame without the glue first, so you know where the bricks should go!!! Glue a row of bricks at the back on the bottom side of your frame. These will make it easierfor the frame to stay upright. Cut a picture to size and put it in the frame. Place the large sheet and voila, you are ready to go!!!



This birthday season (six birthdays in two months) I am really into photo frames. You'll see more of these soon, all suitable for kids crafts!
