Click the picture to follow me on Bloglovin’

A while ago Google announced that they are shutting down Google Reader this summer. This made me very sad, because it’s what I’ve been using to read all my blogs for quite a few years. Unfortunately there was nothing else to do except go on a quest for a new, user-friendly blog reader.

After a bit of searching it seems that most people are transferring to Bloglovin’, so I decided to check it out. It took me a bit of getting used to, but now I love it. It’s much easier to read the blogs on their own pages, so you can leave comments much more quickly. With Google Reader I just read the whole post and forgot to click through to leave a comment. Anyway, there’s not much point to this post, other than to say that if you, like me, need something to replace Google Reader Bloglovin’ is a pretty good choice (and maybe a little to encourage you all to click the pretty picture and follow my blog too…)

And now for something completely different… A while ago I spent a day modelling for my friend Alexandra’s photography series “People of Amsterdam“. This week, she’s releasing a different set of portraits every day, and today it was my turn. This is only one of the pictures she took though, so be sure to click on the picture to see all of them and read about the Anonymous Writer.

Oh my, time flies! I hope you all had a nice easter. A quick update on what I’ve been up to this month. I’ve done plenty, but somehow only have phone pictures to show for it.

Trying to do school work with a helpful cat.

Knitting fair in Nieuwegein with Penelope Craft.

Baby sheep and goats at the local kid’s farm.

First attempt at dyeing yarn!

In other news, I got a subscription to Knipmode, which should start arriving next week. I’m planning to set myself the challenge to sew one thing from each issue before the next one arrives, but I am unsure if I’ll make it.

Sorry for the lack of interesting – if any – podts lately. I’m a little overwhelmed by everything that needed to happen in the past few weeks, such as school, internship, but mostly this:

Yup, I’m moving. Not to a very big place – only a studio – but the very first place I won’t have to share with anyone. I’m excited, but also stressed out. It still needs painting,  I don’t have electricity, I’m moving on Saturday, and not even everything is packed yet.

Anyway, once everything is unpacked and rearranged I’ll show you. Luckily there’s a huge window, so taking pictures should be easier in the new place.
