My hubby is getting a supercute gift, which I secretly finished last week already! Well, the original idea I had in mind, seems to be unworkably. I wanted to scratch our both initials in some wooden bark. but: how do I get the tree inside our house? and: how should I wrap the tree up?! so, at the end I decided to embroider everything, and I am quite happy with the outcome! But of course I need a supercute valentine's…
Ever since I saw this in London as store decoration at Spitalfields market, I knew I wanted to make such a vintage lace curtain for our porch door. The only problem was to get enough lace and doily pieces together. But, Thanx to my lovely colleagues Nina and Christina it did not take very long. In order to make it look vintage, I dyed every cutting or collar individually with black tea. After drying I sewed everything together. You guessed…
It is now only 9 days until Christmas!! And there is still so much to do... I have had no time to do any Christmas Markets, I still need to write my cards, and I haven't bought any gifts for my family & friends yet! The one good thing is that I can already listening to Christmas songs....Like my every year favourite Last Christmas and All I want for Christmas is you.

I have to say, knitted mug cozies seem to be everywhere and you just gotta love them. I even do not care if they are spelled mug cozy or mug cosy. This fall and winter I don`t drink coffee from a 'naked' cup. Well, making them is another story. You need to know some serious knitting in order for them to look nice.

The pumpkin soup, I like it with some cranberries on the side, yummy! and: carving the pumpkin! This year's idea was to create a scenery in the woods with some squirrels and a bambi. Some moss, mushrooms and rosehip.…
Well, I don't really know. But at least my husband thinks it is as these things suddenly appear at our house. However what I know for sure is, that this will not be my last project regarding that matter. It all started when I found this great PomPom maker in a store in Cologne (thanks to Marius). After finishing all my inventory stock in wool during the first evening, I was overwhelmed when I hung up the pompoms at the…
Ohhh...I can do that! Thanks to the MOLLIE MAKES magazine, I am totally excited lately about the idea of knitting something, make embroideries, doing crochet, all kinds of this stuff...There are always so many ideas what you can do, and to start something I bought some embroidery hoops. The last days you could have seen me sitting on the porch always with a needle, thread and the hoop in my hands. The result does satisfy me very very much, and…
