week 36: Things I love today

It's already wednesday again.

I always take lots of pictures of things I like but I never post or upload any of these.
So I came up with the idea to post every wednesday about things I love.
Feel free to join me. Post every wednesday a picture (or a few more) of things you like and tell us why.
This week I'm loving....

Picking up a fresh developed roll film from my last trip with mr. artistic.

Nearly all pics looks really lovely. I need to scan these (and all my other roll films).

 

That I found a shirt in my closet which I haven't seen for 3 years.

It's such a lovely shirt which I totally forgot. What a big surprice this morning.

 

New boots (from buffalo) for me.

I had no plans to get new boots but I always end up with new boots when I'm at my fave shoe shop.

New colourful headphones from benetton.

My fave sony headphones broke a few weeks ago. The new ones are really fancy but they are to big.

Finishing a new project.

I altered the pattern and made a small Hoppel.

Happy birthday Berni !

My sister turns 31 today.

(me and my big sis - 1983)

We have been always very close. We are close in age (only 1 1/2 year) and we shared a room untill I turned 15.

(me and Berni in Kindergarten)

We had a bunk bed and every evening untill we fall asleep we make up a little stories with our guinea pigs (we always had a few when we were little) as main characters. We changed our voices into our special guinea pig voices every time we came up with a story.

Every time I visit my sis and her current guinea pig we are still doing the same. Our voices change and my sis is "the voice" for her guinea pig. We even talk like this on the phone. Sometimes it's a bit embarrassing when my hubby is listening.

(Berni, Franzi and me)

My sis lives in Berlin. It's only 450 km from where I live but it's always hard to find time to visit each other. This year was a really good one. We met several times and I'm going to see her in 2 weeks.

(Berni and me - 2006)

I really miss her a lot and I always have hard times letting her go home when she visits me.

She is not only my sis. She is my best friend.

(Berni & me last month)

Since a few years me and my sis give each other handmade gifts. This year my sis aked for a handmade wallet. She coose the fabrics while she was here for the wedding and I'm sewing my ass off to get it done untill we sea each other in two weeks.

A handmade birthday card is very popular and both of us putting lots of love in every card we make . This year I thought I might need to break the rules.

Why always making birthday card ?!

They collect dust and I bet my sis drawer is already cluttered up with tons of card.

I wanted to make something usefull.

(birthday mug rug)

My sis started a new job today (yes on her birthday). She is the head of a little kindergarten.

Her office really needs something bright and cheerful so I made a scrappy mosaic mug rug.

I used lots of colourful fabrics because my sis really loves everything with bright colours.

Enjoy your day big sis. I'm sending you a big cyber ug !!!!!

week 35: Things I love

I always take lots of pictures of things I like but I never post or upload any of these.

So I came up with the idea to post every wednesday about things I love.

Feel free to join me. Post every wednesday a picture (or a few more) of things you like and tell us why.

This week I'm loving....

Having a cold iced coffee with lots of cream on a super hot & sunny day.

Hot days are rare this summer so I make sure that I have one when the sun is finally showing.

Getting candy and cakes from my dad with the cutest packaging.

It's from my fave fairy tale "Drei Hasselnüsse für Aschenbrödel". The film is from 1973 and based on Cinderella .

Cuddeling with my little Mie.

These are really rare moment because she is not the cuddle type of cat.

Spreading the love for dolls.

My little niece finally saw and played with her first Blythe. Her mum thinks Blythe are scary but I will definetly give her her first Blythe as a birthday gift when she is old enough.

                                     

Enjoying my fave instant noodles.

I tryed these in japan 2008 and bought 2 packages when I was in Hong Kong last year.

Sadly this was the last one so I need to stock up when I'm goiing to Hong Kong in november.

A date with mr. artistic

I'm a married woman since more than a week now.

I have to admit that I feel a little bit different now. I have no idea how to explain that (especially in english) but I feel really grown up now.

Calling mr. artistic my husband makes me feel like a real adult.

I know that I'm nearly 30 and I'm an adult since many years already but being a wife to the man I love makes a completly difference.

Last friday mr. artistic and I had a date. We rarely go out because of lack of money. But the main reason is we are super duper lazy.

Friday was an awesome sunny day. We had around 32°C which was pretty hot in comparison to the lousy summer we had this year.

It was a really short trip (only 4 hours) but we managed to do lots of things.

I heard from my coworker about a lovely restaurant near a little lake. We took the car and after 20 km we arrived in the countryside.

When I saw the beautifal lake I totally regret that I didn't bring my bikini. This summer was so cold that I didn't use my bikini very often this year.

There was still some time before we went for lunch in the lovely restaurant so mr. artistic came up with the idea to play mini golf.

I have to admit that this was my first time playing mini golf and I really drove mr. artistic crazy.

When it comes to sports which I don't like I'm not very passionate and never try hard to be make a good job.

Since it was already 2 pm when we finished mini golf we went straight to the restaurant.

I had somethhing typicall german. I had Schnitzel with croquettes. They had really yummy cakes for dessert but I wal already full.

After lunch we still had some time left before we had to go home (because of my sports classes).

We rented a little boat and just enjoyed the summer day.

It was the perfect date on a perfect sunny summer day.

a sunday in pictures

Sunday is always the most laziest day in the week.

Today was completly different.

I got lots of things done without complaining.

(What's in your fridge ? I serve films !)

 I cleaned the fridge and the cat toilet.

Mie was super lazy as always. She rested on the H&M box and gave me instructions.

(Mie's fave place - untill I sent the clothes back to H&M)

I made two cakes for work tomorrow. They are for the guys at work.

(gateaux de jaourt)

(almond butter cake)

 I went jogging with mr. artistic and collected some wild grown apples.

I made stewed apples with cinnamon. It's my fave dessert for lunch at work.

(stewed apples with cinnamon)

I prepared the dinner.

It's such a long time since I last had a good pizza bologna. I bought all the ingredients and made one myself.

(pizza bologna)

Pizza bologna was my fave pizza when I was in italy 10 years ago.

(yummy)

I made a really big pizza so I can still enjoy a piece tomorrow at work for lunch.

Now I'm working on a little sewing project. I started with this one a long time ago.

Hopefully I can finish it today.

(sewing)

Now I'm resting on my fave sofa and watch some films with mr. artistic.

How was/is your sunday ?

Hoppel linen collection

I always loved to work with linen.

I love the texture and the look of linen products.

I have a few lovely linen FQ with adorable prints.

I always saved those for the perfect project.

Since a while I rarely touch or use these.

Last week I worked on a linen Hoppel for a friend.

(first linen Hoppel for a friend)

I enjoyed working with linen again.

I found all the beautiful linen in my cabinet.

I couldn't resist to make 4 more linen Hoppel.

(linen Hoppel's in the row)

I finally found a way to use the little charms which I bought in Singapore last year.

(cute little Hoppel charm)

They make the linen Hoppel's even more special.

If you need a helping hand. Adopt a little Hoppel and you will never be alone.

the wedding

Yesterday was the big day.

(changing shoes before paper signing)

I got married to mr. artistic.

We have been together since 2004.

(mr. artistic and I playing with our niece)

I met him at a party when I was still a student.

I was totally drunk that night.

(signing papers)

I didn't remember his name when I woke up the next morning.

I asked for his number and gladly he wrote his name under the first text message ;)

(finally married)

Now we are married. Together forever.

(posing)

We had a small but lovely wedding.

(the couple)

Our families met for the first time. It worked great but I knew it before.

I love mr. artistics family. They are the lovliest persons on earth.

(family pic sadly without my sis who took this pic)

I'm happy to be a part of this family. I can't wait to change my last name (which won't be able before december because I booked my HK vacation with my current last name).

(wife & husband)

It's the beginning of a new part in my life.
