I love „Deko“ und ich dekoriere alles was rumsteht, vor allem unser Haus, hier ist das alles zusammengefasst
er im Raum Köln/Düsseldorf wohnt, kann mich am Freitag den 14.2.2014 in der Buchhandlung Weber (Hochdahler Markt 22 40699 Erkrath-Hochdahl, Google Maps Link) besuchen. Von 16:00 - 19:00 Uhr findet dort eine Valentine's Day Crafternoon Party statt zu der ich von zu Hause ein paar passende Dekoideen mitbringe. Für ganz kurz entschlossene die ideale Gelegenheit dem oder der liebsten mein Buch zum Valentinstag zu schenken. Egal wie ihr kommt, meine hand-gestaltete Valentinskarte gibts für alle auf jeden Fall dazu. Das…
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.

The second thing is, we have to work more or less the entire weekend to take down the decorations and store them in the attic. On the pic you see just…
As we had an entire "no snow"-Christmas, I wanted to take a "Happy New Year" picture out in the sun. However, it was a little colder than I thought, so I quickly added a Pumpkin Spice latte to the scenario for a proper last day of Dec feeling. Happy New Year.
I have have spent the last two saturdays at the sewing machine. The idea was to make christmas stockings for a couple of friend's pets. I am convinced that every cute furry creature needs it`s own stocking where all the christmas gifts are stored. The challenge was, that the stocking matches the style of the owner.
