I tried to gather the best ideas for a popup stall to bring to my friend Dani’s baby shower party. Maybe they inspire you too. For a boy, I decided to put it into an all blue/taupe/grey decorating scheme. As the name is not ‚fixed‘ yet, I could only use sewed „baby boy“ letters. One-pieces are cute way to decorate the stall. The problem was that I could not find any biker- or rocker style baby rompers on the german market. Thats why I tried to enrich some basic onesie’s with a bow and a tie, as well as braces und scarfs as add on. Since Dani is eating at least for two, the mom-to-be deserves a menu that is doubly delicious. I just love the tiny little yellow caterpillar which is downloading crushed oreos. I also filled decorated bottles with a mixture of cranberry and apple juice and a delightful splash of bubbly ginger ale. Dani also loves cinnamon rolls as well as cheesecake, so I just combined the two recipes into one. Voila! The first cinnamon roll cheesecake was to be tested on that day.

I am so looking forward to next week. The German Edition of Sweet Paul Magazine does 5 full pages on my "Backen with Love" book. I am so happy, the specimen copy of the magazine was in the mail today. Sweet Paul is one of my absolute favorites and I never thought that I could be in it some day. As a "Thank You", I have designed three cute crafty bookmarks that you can actually win in a competition that…
I was in Erkrath yesterday for a "Backen mit Love " book signing event. I basically moved in there for the afternoon with all my Valentine`s Day stuff. We turned the event into a scrapbooking workshop and it was a blast. Thanks to the lovely people from Buchhandlung Weber who invited me and have such lovely furniture. It was very easy to decorate everything nice. Thanks also, to everyone who came chatted, scrapbooked or bought the book. I still can´t…

This Valentine´s Day, I have my focus on two projects. First it´s all about getting the windows of the house ready for the special day. After I had removed all Christmas ornaments from the windows, they looked empty. The second thing I am working on is a Valentine's Day card, which I hope will be finished soon, so that I can give it to you as a downloadable greeting.
My husband makes us breakfast every morning. As he usually has to take something out of the kitchen cupboard, I thought it would be a good opportunity to show him a gentle reminder that Valentine´s Day is coming. Even if it´s still January, the day will come. For this "real life newsfeed", I used two hand made garlands. One is heart ribbon crochet and the other one I cut out of vintage paper.
