Rose called me the other night: Judith, there are fresh footsteps in the snow outside! I freaked out a little, because I suspected an intruder, but actually it were my own footprints from earlier that day. Upon inspection the next morning I found more footsteps in our garden… I saw that one of the foxes Read article…

The worst cupcakes ever!
I'm a terrible bakerella: I can completely mess up ready-made cupcakes from a box. And that's exactly what happened with these raspberry cupcakes. The topping should have been pale pink, fluffy and tasty. I added some red food pigment because I thought that would be fun and used fromage blanc in stead of fromage frais… Read article…
Come on spring!
This saturday, when it was warm and sunny outside I felt relieved that we survived yet another winter. After 7 winters without proper heating here at Studio Sapique, I felt blessed that this was our second warm and comfortable winter here. But even though we didn't have to wear 8 layers of clothing or heat Read article…
A night in Sweden
Ever since returning from Stockholm, I've been kind of stuck in Sweden through the books of Stieg Larsson. I'm in the middle of the third book now and watched the American and Swedish movies too.

Budding spring leaves
Can you believe it? We're in March! As a surprise my beloved apple tree popped its first leaves this week! The elstar tree hibernated in our living room and lost its leaves at the end of november. Our cats really loved that: they played with the leaves for hours. I can't wait for spring and Read article…
