April has been a busy month.


(source: tumblr)

I ...

» started the month with some good ol' thriftshopping and bought this Voigtländer (also known as my new love, sorry boyfriend).

» had a wonderful evening with some friends.

» did a lot of sewing projects (& a few more waiting to be photographed and put on the blog).

» went bowling, and sucked at it.



» made a paper hat and acted silly.



» baked a melancholic chocolate cake with my friends to remind ourselves of the jolly good times. It was yummy. We filled it with frozen red fruit and crème fraîche.





» put together a little package for la merlette blanche.



» visited Van Katoen and the ghost town Doel.

» hosted my second giveaway, yay to that!
Here's what I sent out to the winners.

To Sara (a petty bourgeoisie)





To Mlle Assorti





» made paper snowflakes out of old magazines, newspapers, etc. There's a tutorial coming up for you guys!



» learned a friend how to sew. She made this awesome little owl plushie for her newly born godchild.





Do you like this new way of 'reviewing' my month? How was your April?

As promised, some pictures of my trip to Doel. Picture overload much?























(yup that's my boyfriend peeking through the hole in the wall)





(this would make an awesome tattoo!)

Very strange, wandering around in this ghost town, which only consists of a couple of streets. Only a few people still living there. (On 1 september 2009 it was declared forbidden to be keep on living in the town.) But a lot of tourists, photographers, etc. visit the town to admire the street art and experience the atmosphere.

Here's a little movie to show you a lot of the grafitti art work you can find there. Unfortunately lots of stuff has disappeared since November 2010.


Part two will include some pictures my boyfriend made with his Iphone and Fisheye lens.

See you next time!

A little sneak peek from the ghost town Doel I visited with my boyfriend two weekends ago.



More pictures this Tuesday. Enjoy your weekend!
