looks like i have to say good bye to my favorite scrap of sand paper

it made sure i got the most delicate texture every time

...sigh...

this is probably the most beautifully made BOOK i´ve ever seen

i love every tiny detail

a little glimpse of a new chunky bracelet

wearing the SHIRT that made me come up with it

those sleeves are so great

is it okay to wear a heart scarf

being single and not in love?

the HEART NECKLACES are now available

at SCHAU HI and SCHWESTERNLIEBE

shhh...hurry up to get your HEART NECKLACES

right in time for valentine´s day

working on a some tiny frames right now...

cold and snowy weekend

tried to brighten it up with SHORTBREAD

and glass bead weaving

have a nice week everyone!

(and again: best of luck, N and little K!)

i love getting parcels

this one is from Moscow - very exciting

EMBOSSED LETTER PENDANT

and i´m working one some new things

can´t wait to tell you what this is all about...

here we go again: snow storm

that´s how S looked after biking right through one of these

i like the trace i leave behind while embossing

and i got a nice little bag on sale

the lavender leather is so pretty

so gloomy and foggy

makes you feel quite dreary

but the APPLE BLOSSOM MEADOW PRINT

cheers me up everytime i look at it

(thank you so much, ANNA EMILIA!)

a necklace of mine arrived in Finland *

ordered a batch of tiny WECK preserving jars

to store my glass beads

it looks lovely

new year, new necklaces
i´ve added a few new things
find them HERE
and since valentines day isn´t far away
have a look at the CATEGORY especially for this day

happy birthday, K!

maybe i´m finally getting you that long fair plain blonde hair

you´re wishing for since more than 20 years now

enjoy a bit of icecream out of my artifical ice cream cone

flood water at the Danube

but our town is providing good for the citizen

not only sandbags and hightech walls

they offer a forecast for each and every home

so everybody knows what to do to keep the water out

we´re lucky

and we feel with those Australians affected by this devastating flood

(please note: due to making the workshop waterproof,

custom made orders from the SHOP are delayed for a few days!)

it´s so grey here

but a lovely package from Finland arrived today, making the day bright

can´t wait to show you what´s inside

reading this book at the moment - i think it´s wonderful

makes me laugh, makes me cry, it feels so true

(oh - i forgot: thank you for this Christmas present, Eva!)

living next to a river means meeting a rat once in a while

so this little trail belongs to one of these creatures

made BAKLAVA with hazel nut, sesame and pumpkin seeds

(if you want to give this recipe a try please roast the nuts and seeds

it tastes so much better)

and had a few slices watching A SINGLE MAN

but most important:

all the luck in the world to N and little K for tomorrow

we´re so hoping everything will be fine soon

W trying to look as grave as possible

while cutting down the Christmas tree

worked on some tiny initial pendants

soon to be in the SHOP

we got W a few movies for his birthday
- quite selfish -
one of them is BRIGHT STAR
we fell hard for it, crying because of so much beauty and sadness
i had to work on some "romantic" necklaces right away
oh, an other thing about Ws frames:
i just realised he wears the same ones as THE SARTORIALIST
but in black
now he has to find himself a barber, too

happy birthday, W!

we´re so happy you finally got nice frames

so you don´t have to look so crazy anymore

and we know you hate the trumpet picture

("no one can play the trumpet like that!")

but we´re evil and showing it anyway

i wish the bellyache i started the new year with

was caused by too much lasagna and too many sips of luxury dessert wine

but the pain killers are more likely

packing away christmas ornaments

a sad thing to do

but i´m longing for huge bunches of tulips around the house now
