E had a photo shooting of some of her dresses made of mens´shirts

they are looking pretty great - dresses and girls

(if someone´s interested - some of them are for sale)

i snatched one of these patterns - missed out last time

now i have to convince E to sew for me, my slipped disc wont allow it...

pictures by Sebastian Kissel - great job!!!

it took me over a year of blogging to find out how to upload pictures in my preferred size...
got a fabulous present: a canon 500d
do you recognize the difference? i sure do...
can´t stop taking pictures
of the first red quinoa we´ve ever tried
of flowers bought from a bearded woman at the farmers market
of a new blouse
and of some book binding E did recently
using thrown away drawings inside and silkscreen maculation outside
it´s quite pretty i think

preparing some pebbles

starting plum season today with this plum oatmeal bread

(aren´t these plum tree pictures over at saipua amazing?!)

quite busy stitching

started a bit of cross stitching again

a purple succulent from the flea market (you can get the most amazing flowers there, not looking "used" at all)

it´s one of the most beautiful plants i´ve ever seen - so there surely are more pictures to come

working on the leaf of a columbine

first of all:

W even took off his glasses to pick a name:

thank you all for playing!

the white plastic letters are one of last saturdays flea market finds

(a bit of magnetic tape goes with them, you can attach it on their back side)

the yellow tumbler is for K and her friends on the hunt for some special mice in Tirol

next to it a puff ball from grandmothers garden

tasted like a mushroomy marshmallow

it was okay at first but when we finished our meal we decided this should be a once in a life time experience only

the last one - at least for now:

we would be very happy if you´d like to stop by at our little shop and have a look

we´re presenting every piece here this week, too

to celebrate the anniversary and the shop opening we decided to have a little giveaway

to win - just leave a comment until wednesday 18th

these necklaces - and a few more - are now available at boutique therese, regensburg

flood water at the danube

she doesn´t only look like a huge rapid river now she sounds like one too

even the little bridge started to vibrate

you probably have already tried this rosemary shortbread - we were new to it and those last two pieces were devoured in a flash

a little shadow and sun from last weekend

it´s all gone now

grey and rainy

do you read books by alexander mccall smith?

he´s not very well known in germany except for his the no. 1 ladies´ detectiv agency series, although the professor dr von igelfeld entertainment novels are set in my home town regensburg - i have to get them next. i like the sunday philosophy club and 44 scotland street series best but what irritates me is his or his charakters art taste - it looks like theres only naturalistic portrait and landscape painting and drawings of flowers and animals. and they really dislike the turner price. it feels a bit small minded. but i´m such a fan of bertie i won´t mind all that...

just finished a few glass beads necklaces

i think there are some nice colour combinations and i will redo some of them for myself
