happy halloween everybody

.

forced W to go hunting with me

for lovely coloured twigs and berries in the park

so i could make a seasonal arrangement

actually i wanted to include some spooky bones

but the only ones i found in our garden

were tiny relicts from our bunnies

(now the hole thing has to stay outside

due to the ever so sticking goldenrod seeds)

.

also i added my creepy feet in traditional oberpfälzer stockings

and a new BOOK with bones on it

.

whoohoo

just a quick post before heading out in the rain

for a bit of acupuncture

.

as always i´m way too late in making christmas cards

this time i had about 10 different motives

and now i´m choosing 4 to actually be printed

on glossy silver card board

.

to add something bright to this grey day

i think i´ll turn those quinces into compote

not in the best mood today

has someting to do with work stuff, foggy suburbs and a bit of back pain

almost killed a plant by drying it out completly

and i thought i´m more the root rotting kind

.

but my basil cuttings thrive pretty and bloom

didn´t know that this was possible with perennial plants

until RENILDE told me

.

and to fight off the fog and cold

i´m wearing my MUKU (have a look at their adorable childrens clothes) scarf today

(hopefully W doesn´t try to steal i from me again)

THEY said those scarlet runner beans are so beautiful

i would have to take a picture

right after i opend the pod

so that is what i did

.

and then i got a nailpolish called peridot

which goes very well with EMBOSSED PENDANTS

and geranium leafs

really don´t like working on my computer right now

so much better to glue together cardboard, saw letters and paint them

.

or producing custom made PENDANTS

i thought embossing was hard so W was doing most of it

but it turns out i´m a natural

please order some more

it´s so much fun

and my physiotherapists say it´s better for me anyway

.

did you find the tiny spot of geranium in this post?

i´m salting

again

a few years ago i tried to recreate Benvenuto Cellinis Saliera

in salt and pepper

now i´m working on a more Christmassy project

one more day and autumn is supposed to arrive

after those unbelievable sunny days

almost got a sun stroke yesterday

.

make this TOMATO SOUP right away

but double the amount

since you´re going to love it that much

.

dozens and dozens of peonies produced one single seed

put it in soil right away

please do not tell me growing peonies doesn´t work that way

because i already see myself as a successful flower farmer here

it´s going to be that luscious pale pink kind...
