To everyone else...The apron is my first ever recon! I made it out of two tea towels.

Excellent job...I couldn't tell at all from the pix that it was a recon at all! And the pattern really seems to suit Riechan!

I have to take action pictures of the apron

Ooh, please do! And a question...What are the cookies you sent me?

[Riechan]

I was afraid you would have them in your country but than again...
Do you celebrate on the 6th of december: "Sinterklaas" ? (In English, it's translated as Santa Claus, but we don't mean THE Santa Claus, 'cause we call YOUR Santa Claus : lt. The Christmas man (anyone following?), they are actually the same but due to commercialism and stuff have been created into 2 holidays.)

So since it's almost 'Sinterklaas', There are typical sweets for that holiday for sale! like Chocolate men, marsepine, Chocolate coins, ABC cookies, ...
and I have send you ABC Cookies (Nicnacjes), that's something anyone would like isn't it?
for the ones that don't know it:

[Faren]

What great stuff! That pattern on the apron is really cute, and I didn't realize it was a recon either.

[missmelissa]

Glad you liked everything riechan!
i decided to gift a few things from your list!
the white marker may take time to start working, just shake alot and press tip down until the white flows properly. The crown is to sew onto something like a bag.
hope this helps!

[Riechan]

thankyou !!
I have a sad note the bracelet I got, is broken, I just took it of after a whole day wearing it, and the string broke
I'll have to get me a elastic string somewhere

another thing, on friday evening I tried the chocolat (just a few pieces, was yummy !) and when I got to sleep, I had an enormous headache and felt really sick ... I think that was the chocolat combined with lots of lack of sleep ...
