For a yummy and healthy sunday breakfast, I recommend a decent amount of peanut butter and sunny side up egg on toast. In order to avoid too many calories, everything is done crochet style. But why am I doing this ? I just came back from a vacation in Japan and "crochet food" is on a total different level there. I even bought a book about it. Of course, I can not read anything but the pictures are super cute…
A traditional English Victoria Sponge is one of my favorite cake recipes. Especially when it´s summer and I am able to add fresh berries. Today I am expecting a couple of friends over, so I made 2 versions. One for eat in and one to go. Yummy.
A couple if weeks back, I have worked on a vintage lace curtain for the porch door. I liked it so much that, with a little bit of free time during rainy German pre-summer weekends, I made some more for the kitchen windows. In the back you can spot the vintage bunting from the porch as well.
I am always impressed with all the crochet things seeing on Pinterest. I need to work on my crochet skills and was looking for something really easy to start with. First thing were the granny square coasters with 2 colours. Couldn't be too difficult, can they? As they turned out so nice, I was highly motivated and added some pompoms, during watching TV (you can always use pompoms for everything, right?). For the Apple potholder, I started as I would…
Finally I got a porch swing, well, a small one, and you can´t even sit on it but it´s cute and that´s what counts. I ordered a kids swing from the internet, painted the seat turquoise and replaced the plastic cord with a beautiful (but not so safe) hemp rope. Since I can not swing with it anyway, I added some roses and a cheesecake. But the cheesecake won´t last long on it, I promise.
Finally, the weather is like spring, so the front porch can also be decorated 'accordingly'. For the next couple of months I decided to use a curtain of tassles on our front porch that I have torn from all sorts of fabric. Took quiet some time but it was worth it. For the vintage look, I dyed them in black tea. I did the same with the doily bunting.
Yes, I know, I haven´t posted anything in a week or so. Reason for that is: I am working on various 'soon need to be finished' ideas that are circling around my mind: I need to get them done and off my table. Speaking of my table, here's what it looks like today. Maybe with that you can a little relate to, what´s going on in my head.
