What good cause to support when you are a pet lover?

What are this season's must haves?
Hi There.....Do you like to dress casual?
I do..... I am a real jeans lover..... And at the moment I most prefer the more skinny type of jeans..... One that has elastic in it and fits perfectly around your legs ๐
You know when I grew up jeans weren't elastic at all..... They were stiff from top to bottom as far as I recall..... I remember going to the store and you had to hold your tummy in so hard till there was no air left in your body..... Well, at least it felt like that..... Just to get into that special pair of jeans..... I can guarantee you that it was a lot of hard work ๐ ๐
Did you know that jeans weren't a fashion item at all in the early beginnings..... They were mostly worn by men as working clothes..... According to Wikipedia, they were used by sailors because they needed a fabric that could be worn wet or dry..... I bet those men would laugh their ... of if they would see us, women, in them now ๐
I just love looking up a little bit of history..... Both my sisters would laugh pretty hard if they would hear me say this..... They know that I hated it as a subject in class when I was young..... You see it's never too late to change ๐คฃ ๐
What am I rattling away about again..... Haha, that's me I suppose..... You have to do what you are good at ๐
I made another fashion set for you with items in it that I actually would like to wear myself..... So that's one like to start ๐

What is a Meme ?
Now if that's not a stupid question..... I don't know what is ๐
Who doesn't like to have a little fun in their lives..... Especially when things aren't the way they are supposed to be..... Someone always has to be the clown..... And I thought why not me..... I sure hope you are not afraid of clowns ๐คก
I just love to play the role of the fool..... At least in my blog, I do..... In real life, I am actually somewhat shy ๐
There was a time..... When I was in school still that I used to be so very shy..... If people just looked at me I would turn completely red..... I am glad I got it under control now..... But red is still my favorite color ๐
So actually there are 2 places where I am in my comfort zone..... When I am on my laptop and believe it or not..... When I am singing on stage..... But please don't ask me to speak in front of a group..... I really hate that..... Weird right..... But hey, that's me I suppose ๐
But enough about me..... Let's talk about memes ๐
Ah right..... What on earth is a meme..... That's what you were thinking..... Am I right ๐
A meme is a picture that is being spread through Social Media mostly with a text on it to make it funny..... And I sure hope you will like the memes I made for you..... Well, I like them so that's at least one person to start with ๐
Ha..... Now you want to try it too..... Right..... Be my guest..... We can all have some fun together ๐ Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great day

Where can I find some cool handmade pants for this summer?
Here in Belgium, we are taking baby steps to a new way of living with a gradual exit strategy..... We have been in lockdown for quite a while now..... I couldn't even remember how long it was..... So I looked it up and it seems that our lockdown started on the 18th of March..... But we have always been allowed to go outside still to do our groceries..... Or for taking walks, a run or other sports in the parc keeping the 1.5m distance in mind of course ๐ท
So far only the grocery shops, fabric shops, do-it-yourself, and garden shops were open for business..... Starting Monday all the other shops will be opening their doors again..... But I am not crazy enough to go shopping already..... A little crazy maybe but not that crazy ๐
It feels kinda weird though..... When someone in the supermarket wants to be in the same aisle as you..... They look at you in a way as if you could be their killer..... I am not sure yet if I like it..... In a way, it is pretty badass having people be scared of you..... Renata the Ripper..... Doesn't sound that bad ๐
But then again, who is the scaredy-cat..... Me, I suppose..... I am the one staying away from the brave shoppers next week ๐ ๐
Although I probably won't be the only one..... Some people will agree that it's just common sense.....That's why I thought I would bring the stores to you other scaredy cats..... And show you a few handmade summer trousers from my beloved Etsy site ๐
Extravagant Black Short Pants * Asymmetric Pants Skirt
High Waisted Pants, Summer Tapered Pants

How to be creative during lockdown?
I'm actually not really into fashion..... And the question is..... Do we still need fashion now that we are all locked up inside..... Do we still need to dress up just to go to the store..... I suppose not..... But then again we will not be locked up forever ๐
Indeed my new singer sewing machine..... We have become best friends lately ๐
At first, I started making doll clothes for my granddaughter's baby born doll..... She is 4 years old and the first thing she does with a new doll is undressing her and put her in some other clothes ๐
So I thought I should give it a try and went to the hobby fair for some small pieces of fabric..... And here are the things I made with those fabrics ๐
Pretty cute..... Aren't they ๐
She actually didn't use my last one for her baby born doll..... But as long as she is happy with it..... That's what's most important ๐
She said her centipede had a cold and needed the dress ๐คฃ
But then something happened that I was not expecting at all..... My daughter loved them so much that she asked me to make some skirts for my granddaughter ๐ฏ
She had never asked this before because she wasn't aware that I had so much sewing experience and could make things like these..... And I never asked her if she would like it..... But I do have to say that I hadn't sewed any clothes since she and her brother were young kids..... I suppose she didn't even remember because it had been very long ago ๐
The problem was that the corona lockdown had started by then and I couldn't go over there to discuss any fabrics or patterns ๐ณ
So I bought myself a book online with lots of patterns to make skirts for children..... Then using the Whatsapp video I showed her and my granddaughter the different patterns and this way they were able to choose their favorite one ๐
All I needed now were the fabrics..... I knew she loved the one with the little Bambi's on it very much..... So I went on a search to find a shop where they had that specific fabric and lots of other cute ones ๐
I found one that had everything I needed..... So I bought myself 1 meter of 3 different fabrics..... Now all I had to do was wait for them to arrive ๐
But then when I woke up the next day..... I realized that I forgot to get some elastic for the waist and some pink sewing thread for the pink fabric ๐จ
So I decided to go to the supermarket and get some..... But no such luck..... Seemed that lots a people had started making masks and bought up all the elastic..... They had none in stock anymore ๐ท
Ok no problem, I thought..... I would try to find some online..... That wasn't as obvious as I had hoped..... I needed an elastic of 2.5 cm wide according to the pattern but it was nowhere to be found..... I did find a set of black and white elastic of 3cm wide..... Not that I needed the black one but better that than nothing at all..... Right ๐
So I made the waistband a bit bigger to be able to fit in the larger elastic..... And here is a picture of the 2 skirts I already made..... 2 down..... One more to go ๐
I was able to deliver the first one to my daughter's home and my granddaughter was very happy with it..... I will have to deliver the second one too but sure hope that I can give the last one to her in person ๐

Where can I get some great prints from my photographs?
Isn't taking pictures of the things you enjoy in life the best thing..... I think it is..... I can so enjoy going through pictures of my youth, holidays, the kids..... All kinds of things..... Especially in these times of quarantine..... Pictures from better days..... The days when we were free to go wherever we pleased ๐
Don't worry about it too much..... Those days will come back..... We may even laugh about all this someday..... And the pain from losing someone will fade..... I can tell you about it..... But these things do take time..... But the memories will be there forever.....Especially those you were able to capture in a beautiful photograph ๐
That is something I wanted to talk to you about today because I just received some prints of my pictures from https://www.fotofabriek.nl/..... I know you may think I am old fashioned but I still love to get my pictures on prints..... Ah good old fashioned me hehe ๐
They have some great options for your pictures to try out..... I tried their Retroprints option..... Here is a link to it..... https://www.fotofabriek.nl/producten/fotos/retroprints/retroprints/ ...... You never know when it may come in handy ๐
And I was so happy to see how my pictures turned out..... Great quality and I especially love the black and white one..... It's a picture of me when I was still a kid..... Ages ago ๐
Pretty cool..... Don't you agree..... They are all pretty good..... Must be because I took them myself..... No, no I can't fool you now, can I..... Of course, I didn't take them all myself ๐
The website has a lot of other great options to choose from..... Let me show you a few
Stapled photo book A5 Landscape
Tiles
Postcards Double square 14 x 14
