Hello! :) I recently received a message on DaWanda in which the editor in chief of an online Pin Up fashion magazine told me how much she liked my shop and asked me if I would like to provide a handmade item for her magazine's 'Must Have of the Week' feature. :)
Heyy! :) There's sale on DaWanda and today there's a discount of 12% on all items in my shop, so if you have already targeted an item, here's you chance to get it! :)
Happy Sunday and welcome to my new blog followers! :)
Yummy, I haven't been posting a recipe for quite a while, but here are an easy milkshake and a smoothie I made for last Sunday's brunch. <3
For the milkshake you need:
Katinka!! :) She's the lucky one who won the two Mr. Moustache mugs! :)
Happy Sunday! :) Here are our tiny plants which are constantly growing, it's so much fun to watch them becoming bigger and bigger.
My mother sent me organic strawberry plants, can't wait to eat the first fruits!! :) Moreover, we also have lots of basil and marjoram.
Here are the beautiful wooden vintage chairs I also got from my mother and you can also see my handmade felt pinwheels and the chives. :)
Lots of organic basil! <3 Apart from that, I sow cress and lavender and nasturtium. <3 How do you like my idea of using colorful washi tape and toothpicks to label all the pots?
Awww, spring is finally coming, I love those first warm days outside!
Hellooo! :) Awwww, today I received a totally pretty, tiny package from Mona of ansteckend anders. We got to know each other through blogging and one day she wrote me an awesome mail with feedback concerning my shop and some really helpful advice and I'm so thankful for that! We exchanged some mails and then Mona (who comes from the same area in which I grew up, too <3) suggested to swap something. :) I sent her a mini pinboard and on the photo you can see what I got! I love her packaging and all the details, the pretty roe deer, the red paper, the colorful paper streamers, the thank you card, the buttons aaaand, of course, the owl brooch!! Thank you, Mona!! :) She chose an item from my shop which she liked (the pinboard) and I wanted to get a little surprise which would fit my style and taste and since I love owls and I love pink, this little brooch is just perfect! :)
Hello, happy Wednesday! :) Thank you for all the lovely comments concerning my creative space, I'm totally flattered!! :) I always love reading your kind words! <3
Hello, my dear readers! :) After I recently posted how I store the items for my shop, I have received a few questions by some of you about how I store my raw materials. Today I took a few photos to share them with you.
On my table next to the sewing machine I have lots of jars and little boxes where I keep yarn, buttons, zippers, lace, beads, cords, and so on... I love little containers which are transparent so that I can see all my materials and don't forget to use them. :)
Next to my sewing table, there's another small table under which I store lining and felt. On this table there's a huuuuge, blue enamel bucket in which I keep wrapping paper, paper to create patterns and pretty tissue paper.
Do you still remember my post about this little embroidery hoop? I once found the awesome idea online and I made one for storing sewing tools and I used my favourite kind of fabric for making it. <3 I bought the wooden loop at the flea market. It's so pretty!!
Here are the awesome trestles on which I store my fabrics. One side is for those fabrics which are of only one color, the other side is for fabrics with a pattern. <3
Here's another photo of my pretty sewing corner and a peek at my table. :) Here you can see all the tools and materials I regularly use for my sewing projects. I like it when everything is well-organized so that I can easily find everything and do not have to search for my tools or supplies.
Dear readers, it's time for a new giveaway to show you my appreciation and to thank you for your feedback and support! <3
1. Awesome desk. I'm going to paint my own wooden dress, soon.
Hello! :) Here are lots of pretty new pouches I sewed and listed on DaWanda! :) Some of them are for pencils, others for cosmetics and other stuff. :) Which is your favourite? Which pattern do you like best, which fabric makes your heart beat faster? :)
Make sure to check out my shop, there are also many pretty other items! :)
Happy Sunday, lovely readers! :) Did you enjoy your weekend? I had a good sleep, delicious breakfast, a looooong walk in the forest with Mogli, a neighbour and her cute dog, I sewed and took product photos and listed new pouches on DaWanda AND I went to the fabric market and bought lots of pretty fabric for a tiny loop scarf spring collection... :)
Moreover, I have an etagiére from Koziol, it's made of recycled plastic and it's awesome to store brooches. On the photo above you can see a part of a turquoise picture frame, there I organize earrings. The easel next to my wardrobe is used to hang up bags and totes (I haven't used it for painting for a really long time) and the little embroidery hoop is perfect for little sewing tools like scissors. :) Do you see the tiny, pink spice rack? It's vintage and there I store my textile colors. :)
Do you like what you see? I simply love my room, especially this part of it! :)
Hello! :) I hope you are enjoying your weekend just like I do! :)
Yay, this is the recipe for my favourite cake (my mother always bakes this cake for my birthday and I LOVE it so much!! :)) and you can find it over on Mary Sew. Lovely Trisha invited me for a guest post on her blog. :) Make sure to check out the delicious recipe! :)
Eeeeeks, happy Thursday! :) It's time for sharing a few photos I've been taking with my phone during the last weeks. :) As you can see above, I went fabric shopping at Frau Tulpe, one of my favourite fabric stores. <3 On the second photo you can see my Indie Biz 2.0 folder, I read it again and found this page where I was trying to find a name for my little business. :))) I took a photo of a pretty house in Berlin and as always, one of Mogli. :) When we were ou for a walk, I saw this pretty, blue garden house. I'd love to have a garden with a house like this... Last week, lovely Sammy sent me this pretty spool necklace, I love it! :)
Flo and I spent an afternoon in a shopping center and I got some awesome belaled birthday presents from my beloved friend Hanna who has been visiting us for a few days. <3 When she's around (like it's with most of our other close friends, too), it's always like a little family meeting. <3 On Thursday, Anja and I often meet for cooking and a TV evening and last Thursday, we, Flo and Hanna were having lots of deliciois hors d'oeuvres, like dried tomatoes, hard cheese, fresh baguettes and different kinds of curd cheese. :)
Last weekend we went on a little trip to visit our friends in Bremen. They were moving from one apartment to another and we came to help and to celebrate our friend's birthday. We had really lovely weather with lots of sunshine and were happy about some time in the sun after all the hard work. :) Jenny and I went out for a walk and met the boys in a beer garden. It felt a little bit like spring. :)
They also showed us some sights and of course we visited the famous town musicians (they are from a German fairy tale, a cock standing on a cat which is standing on a dog which is standing on a donkey... :)) and took some tourist photos. :) I think Bremen is really pretty, especially the old part of the town. On the last day of our visit, Jenny and I went shopping to reward ourselves for the strenuous weekend of carrying cardboard handles, moving furniture, unpacking belongings from boxes and preparing food. It was lots of fun, but we were sooo tired and felt that we needed a second weekend to recover from the actual one. :)
