Colour in the Kitchen!

Thanks LeeAnna!

I'll have to give this a try soon!

Maybe when I make Triple Ginger Chocolate cookies !

It's too warm out to stay inside!

Really? It's December 26th! Let's go ride bike in the
 National Park Hoge Veluwe! 

 Great paths, great signs to follow!

 And see a bit of art!

What's this?

 56 Barrels

56 Barrels by Christo

And all I wanted was to use them for was Hosta planters!

Art ! It's what you want it to be!

It's gonna be a cold cold Christmas....

No, wait....It's a green Christmas this year! 13C today!

The Geraniums are still flowering!

 .....A host of golden Daffodils....

Merry Christmas!

A visit to Palace Het Loo (pronounced Low)

  to experience Winter at Het Loo

 The tables are set for Royal High Tea!

We'll come back later!

 First we'll explore the palace!

 Elaborate table settings!

 What a sweet idea!

 Why don't they make these today?

 Lots to see if you look up!

 Red and white glass!

 Roses in serviettes!

 A little background information....

 There were even a few dresses!

 here's one

 Hand made!

 into the next room....

 and that's sugar work on the table!

That was a short tour of what there is to see!

 Now it's time for that Royal High Tea!

 The scones were perfect! 

A great way to enjoy the ambiance at Palace Het Loo! 

Winter!

Longest night. Shortest day!

But it sure does feel like Spring!

Hope your winter is a creative one!

It was an inside job!

Something different than weeding and pruning!

 Helped a friend put up and decorate her Christmas tree!

What a cozy way to spend the morning!

 The warmest 17th December on record! 15.3C in De Bilt!

Maybe there will be Daffodils instead of Mistletoe!

Here's a great store front Christmas tree!

And an outdoor display seen in Soest!

Wishing you Creative days til Christmas!

Almost Winter?

 While on the way today! Look what's in full bloom!

To get us more in the Winter/Christmas spirit....

 December 13th! Quite a mild day! 10C!

I should really go look for Christmas decor!

Let's see what the week ahead brings!

A taste of Canada!

Meals on Wheels!

Thanks Dirk! 

12C today!

 December 7th and 12C! Still great gardening weather to plant bulbs and prune a few things back! And evenings are for catching up with magazines! This creative idea caught my eye! Transform an old chair into a flowerpot! Or a place for a Hosta ofcourse! So I started searching the web for a Hosta with a name such as Hosta '.... chair, seat, sitting...' or something in that line of thought. Then google suggested this Hosta Chair  ! Soemone designed a chair and called it Hosta!

 Here's a creative bird feeder !

And a coat rack with elastics to hold hats and gloves, 

shawls and other small things! 

Wishing you a creative winter!

More than 300!

There are more that 300 from 26 different countries!

 Nativity Scene Display at the St. Ansfridus Church

If you're in Amersfoort, it's worth visiting!
Thanks for the tip Carolien!
