Outside Christmas Decoration

This year we took an empty suitcase to a vacation in Florida and came back with lot's of Christmas stuff including large red ribbons. As any outside Christmas decoration looks way better with real snow (sorry Florida), we put it at the entrance of our house and only had to wait a couple of days until the snow did the rest. When my husband said that we do not have enough room to put another decorated fireplace inside, I just…

Spotted: Elf Shoes

While we were on vacation last week, wonderful elves started working on the Christmas decoration at our house. However, they seem to have been so busy that the head elf totally forgot to take the new special elf shoes that I made for them to say 'Thank You'.

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. Luckily I have friends, and Marius was able to do those beautiful crochet roses that I simple…

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! This year's idea was to create a scenery in the woods with some squirrels and a bambi. Some moss, mushrooms and rosehip.…

PopUp Tearoom, I just love afternoon tea…

... and so does Silvia and Guido. When Silvia asked me, if I would be able to pop up our tearoom in her garden, a new idea was born and a couple of days later somewhere in Düsseldorf an afternoon tea party was held. I went there with a car fully packed with cakes and cookies, plates, cutlery, garden tables and chairs with cushions and so on...I wanted that all guests feel welcome and at home at the lovely surrounding…

How can you pimp up the storage room?

I mean, is it even possible to turn a boring blue wood room into something cute and nice? Well, first there was the window and the door...with the ornamental wood border, which I found at the fleamarket, this was a start for sure. But even more worse was the plain side of the storage room. To give it some kind of a nicer character it took me some frames, a painting, hooks, metal signs and a lot of logs and…

Is this Guerilla Knitting?

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…
