Happy Valentine’s Day !

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!

Valentine's Day

But of course I need a supercute valentine’s card as well! at the end I loved 3 cards and could not decide. That’s why I ended up buying all 3 of them and thinking it over: I am gonna use the one with the cats! I like it the most! hope you do agree with my decision?

Vintage Lace Curtain

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. I love it.

I actually love it so much so, that I am already wondering how all the other windows would look like with something like this as a curtain.

You just need a Mug Cozy

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.

Mug Cosy

Luckily I have friends, and Marius was able to do those beautiful crochet roses that I simple had to attach to my basic cozies. Thank You Marius, these are my favorites.

Pumpkin Carving

Normally I am really not into traditions, but every year when it comes to autumn season, and I see all the pumkins on the fields, I need to do three things:
The pumpkin pie, of course! it is already eaten, slurp!
The pumpkin soup, I like it with some cranberries on the side, yummy!
and: carving the pumpkin!

Halloween Pumpkin Decoration

This year’s idea was to create a scenery in the woods with some squirrels and a bambi. Some moss, mushrooms and rosehip. In the end, I was impressed how nice it turned out! too bad, that it is not gonna last for weeks until Halloween.
