juice

A few weeks ago I bought a juicer.



First went to the store to buy all kinds of veggies and fruit.
I cleaned a few bottles to put the juice in and started to 'experiment'.



First try: celery, green apple, cucumber, lemon and spinach.
It made a nice green juice. But I did not like the taste of the celery in it. And half a lemon was way to sour for me.

Next: orange, pear, kiwi, lemon (just a little) and ginger.
That made a nice juice!

Next: carrots, apple and a little lemon. MMMmmm, lovely!
 


I enjoy my juicer very much. The other day I had 2 pears lying in the fridge and they were too ripe (I kinda forgot them). Threw them in the juicer, along with a bruised apple and some wrinkly carrots (forgot those too ...). And voila, a delicious juice.

Puppy harness

Since December daughter nr.1 and her partner are the moms of a beautiful little puppy, Isa.

2 weeks before they could pick her up daughter nr.2 and I organized a 'puppyshower'.






She is such a cute little thing! I had to 'puppysit' twice and that was so much fun. When she is awake she wants to play play play. And when she is tired she likes to sleep wrapped around your neck.



I made lots of harnesses for her. Very easy to do and very cheap, because I had some fabric leftovers (I only needed very small pieces). And a little girl can never have too many nice clothes right?


 
 And of course Wizzie had to test the fabric ....





Pattern cut twice (back and front) and pinned. I had some biastape (some very old, bought a long long time ago by my grandmother!), I also made biastape myself.




 I made some pockets and bows.



and I crocheted some hearts


Ready to sew ...






And she was georgeous in them!
