the chocolate Easter eggs are long gone

the sisters too

.

everybody just loves FANJAs CAT

luckily the real cat doesn´t care too much about it

she´s currently recovering from a huge cat fight

i admire the cat´s way of healing, just sleeping and purring all day long

.

everything is turned into a pattern lately

flowers, wrapping paper, grey tulips

it looks like can´t get my mind off a project

it´ll be finished tomorrow though

those blue samples didn´t make it so i turned them into something else

.

a funny picture E took of me and my new paper hat

since i´m super sun/heat sensitive you won´t find me without one of those all summer

can´t wait to put it on again:)

A SWAN LAKE - rad!

happy easter

from the easter queen and her sweet king

all dressed up in the signature attire of fake grass stole and pussy willow crown

have a wonderful weekend everybody!

.

speaking of queens

K is definitly the CHEESE CAKE one

she works miracles every single time

the one Julie is writing about was probably the most legendary version so far

dear TI kindly invited me to be part of her ZWISCHENZEIT series

i don´t do lenten resolutions but i do eat so i tried to come up with something
and since the post is in German on her blog - here it is again in English

.

unfortunately that rebus doesn´t make any sense to not German speakers

(buckwheat = book beer)

also i wouldn´t recommend making yourself a buckwheat bracelet

it doesn´t keep that well

but W would like to make it in gold

just kidding

.

my sister thinks buckwheat tastes at the same time boring and interesting

so it needs strong companions

.

the first loose recipe:

wash and cook buckwheat according to instructions

caramelize chestnuts and spring onions

slice a pear

get some yoghurt and dries berries

or anything else you like

eat it

.

in case you´re in the mood for pancakes
i´d start like that:

80g buckwheat flour

80g spelt flour

1 tea spoon baking powder

sugar and salt as you like

150ml milk

2 apples roughly grated

mix everything and add more milk or flour to get right consistency

let sit for a while

bake pancakes

eat with ricotta mixed with brown sugar and vanilla

or maple sirup

also you can use buttermilk or water instead of milk (or even beer)

or add an egg or a pad of butter

switch the apples for pears or beets

do as you like

bits and pieces from the last weeks

.

so many wild tulips in my garden

they´re the best ones - ANDREA loves them too

got mine HERE - excellent selection and quality

.

i´m a NO-MAKE-UPPER

just a redness-hider

who loves a bit of lipstick and nail polish though

currently trying NAIL GLOW to hide my dirty work nails

.

since i´m going to have a bit of exploratory surgery in a few weeks

i started to look for little treats to look forward to afterwards

like getting a new haircut

wearing those dangerously white  and utterly comfortably Chloe jeans

(found at TK Maxx, yay)

for as long as i´m not allowed to work in the workshop or garden

and that pretty blue scarf from MEINGEFANGEN - thank you so much, Franziska

watching my geraniums come to life again

after they´ve spent the winter in the basement

and using the rose varieties to scent my BIRTHDAY CAKE

writing something sweet using the serif cookie cutters from the flea market

making more furniture with W - the first piece is almost finished now

getting painted by E

eating more rhubarb scones with a new friend and fellow glass bead lover

wearing a lot of jewellery from the new collection

since hopefully everything will be ready and in the SHOP before the anaesthesia hits

.
VANILLA RHUBARB SCONES
(slightly based on a recipe from GOOD TO THE GRAIN)
1 (generous) cup spelt flour
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt and vanilla
mix those dry ingredients
rub in 60 g butter or ghee with your fingertips
slice up 3 - 4 stalks of rhubarb and add them to the flour-butter mixture
quickly mix it with 3/4 cup yoghurt using a fork
the doug should be wet but not too sticky
add flour or liquid if needed
pat into a thick disc and slice into 6 wedges
bake for 18 min at 200 degree celsium
