The most overflowered place...

...that exists on my desk.It's quite a while ago, I wrote the last post in this blog. The reason was that there weren't so much interesting things to write about.
However. For about 5 years now, I got this desk. It's practical but not very decorative. Especially the grey wall behind it always annoyed me, so, someday, I decided to change it. Now it looks like it was made  for a little girl.

On the left we got a small box which I use put magnets in. Beside it, there's a glass (it has been a mustard glass before) where I store cherry stones. Then a dried rose in another Glass and finally, in Front of it, a mini Hat which I made myself. The 'wall paper' has got this picture:

I bleached out the colors before printing :)

Have a nice evening!

Peppermint tea

Just a simple Saturday morning post :)

From cooking Tapas last Tuesday, I still had some peppermint around. Some of them were used as tea spice:

Minze!!! ^^

Although I haven't got tea cups like these, I enjoyed this tea time :)

Have a nice day!

New Earring Garage

Hi
This weekend I made a new earring garage. Now, what the hell is this?
In my case, it is a paper plate, with fabric over it, plus something for the studs and some decoration. This was my old one:

Without earrings:

I changed it because I wanted a new one that is not this ... black. :D

So, here's the new one:

I made the embroidery some days ago, the lace was actually white.

 After playing with the computer:

 Detail:

And with the earrings: It is still hanging inside the closet door, what is very practical.



Hope you enjoied it :D

Embroidered scent bag

Small project, hand stitched scent bag, with flower:

Trip to Zurich

What the f*** is this?

Right, this is Züri! (Zurich) whe where there on wednesday.

The weather was cloudy and there was a shower, so it was rather a ,wet-ness-day'

:D

But that's not that hard when you shop in houses most of the time, isn't it?

After a while, these chairs grew very uncomfortable, so we went to eat something at globus. They're having an Istanbul special this month. I enjoyed mezze (that in the bowls) and bread.

very good!

Ok, house spotting! Look at this funny oriel! (Erker :)

Here's the whole alley, from the other direction.

Somehow cute :)

The embroidery frame I bought at St.Annahof:

Very useful, I'll post my projects later :)

Thank's for reading :)

Nails

Dont's say that I got too much time, I know that already :)

Wanna see my fingers?

And my sister's hands:

And for those who can't have enough, those of my sister's friend:

So, this was it, I have to go out again. Happy easter :)

Cupcakes!

Also made at our grandparents, some so called birthday cookies. From this cookbook:

They got ...ok. We're beginners :)

 The light isn't that advantageous too ...

mine:

Easter cookies

Hi there
It's some days back when we (sister, friend and I) where by our grandparents. It was good weather and I had to swim in 18°C wather :)
Well, grandma bought some eastern themed biscuit cutters, which we used for those:

Delicious!

Blablabla

Hi there :)
I just noticed that I haven't posted the last days. This was because I had enough other things to do (last week before vacations...) and because there weren't so much interesting things that are also a good and semi-interesting content for a post.

So, why do I write this...
...because I'm going to my grandparents for three days and because they live in out-of-w-lan-zone I won't be able to post anything. The good thing: I'm probably going to craft something. Gonna take the cam with me :)

Rest: Spring is great! I got a slight sunburn now, but it was warm enough to chill in the garden and read the whole day. This is the book:

Very good story, beautifully written, scenes are sometimes a bit exaggerated.

Chocolate chip scones

Today, I baked some scones. The ground recipe is from a Betty Bossy  cookbook (Überraschende Ideen für Brunch- Surprising ideas for brunch) which is very new.  I took coarse sugar, powdered sugar and chocolate chips to refine them. They were delicious!

(fresh hot bakery from the oven... yummy!)

The single one was for my sister, she already has eaten something else, while I was still hungry :)

Pressing flowers

Pressed flowers or pressed fairies,
it’s all the same to me,
a dream inside the pages of a book,
screaming to bring back a memory.
Of love or congratulations
or a quick and sudden end,
of friendly words and loving thoughts,
or of dear last moments
with what she thought was a friend.

Oh, give me that book,
to show my precious prize,
a simple gift of love
or the one of the fairy’s demise 

It was the 29th of march (tuesday last week) when I pressed some flowers between the pages of ,,Edgar Allan Poe - Phantastical Stories'' ...or somewhat like that  :)

I must say, they got very well for it was my first try  :)

This flower was pressed the same day:

Shopping in Freiburg

Yesterday, we (means dad, sister and me) were  in Freiburg, Germany. It was the first time we went there and it took about an hour by car.
It's a very beautiful city, much cleaner then Basel :)

View over a bridge near the garage we parked the car.

Don't know what this building is for, just found it's cool :)

Lolis! XD

For those who speak german: ,,Haus zum geilen Fisch :) ''         Lol

Wonderful colour.

Very typical for Freiburg are the many little ,,Bächle'', which are aside the street.

Theyre pretty cold actually (What happened: Me:,, If someone of us three steps in a Bächle, it's me''. Half an hour later, my prophecy became true...   :)

So, of course, we didn't just look at houses and step into cold water, we also shopped.

Mostly nail stuff but also make-up and a pair of shoes:

So, in action:

 The shoes:

These are the things of my sister:

her earrings:

and her new glasses:

And now, our teddy model !

Thank's for reading :-)



Flower drawing

Inspired by the season, I drew this flower. I started it in a school lesson and finished at home.
I used a pencil and watercolours.

I also started to press some flowers.

Spring is so inspiring!

Spring decoration

It was an absolutely wonderful weather this week, warm and sunny. The first birds are twittering again and the first flowers spot the village with colourful freckles :)
To bring a bit of this into my room (where I am nice teachers...), I made two fake mini flower arrangements. So, here they are:

I had fake grass from a garden exhibition :)

Yes, this is a mortar :)

I'm so happy that the winter is over :)
