30.1.14







the development of our prototypes is a little bit frustrationg right now
so i made you something simple and sweet for Valentines day
and the SHOP is full of cute little somethings
for your loved ones
.
tried to brighten up those dreary days with lots of ranunculus
and a green variety of mimosa
pink scarfs and a metallic zebra patterned jacket also help a bit
(my sisters detest the latter)
.
look!
i give you my heart
take it!



mittens knitted based on this PATTERN
.
do you also have the craziest dreams right now?
dreamt of a color changing kitten
and me singing in my drummer boyfriend´s punk band
which is insane since i really can´t sing (does that matter in a punk band though?!)
and i still have to find that drummer

thank you so much for your well wishes
i decided it´s time to feel better now
my stomach isn´t totally convinced about that
but we´re working on it
.
i´ve realized that the BRANCH TEA WARMER goes quite well with the ARABIA RUSKA dishes
you can still find it a lot on flea markets and ebay
but try to not touch it with cutlery it does make a hellish sound
.
finally gave Paula´s WHITE WINE AND FENNEL SEED BISQUITS a try
to me they are heavenly - white wine, olive oil, fennel - quite hard and crumbly
.
slowly returnung to the workshop
working on some prototypes
and a custom made silver FOX
.
i want to add one more thing since i got a few angry mails:
we had to raise our prices at the beginning of 2014
we didn´t do this trying to earn more money
but simply because thanks to you we´ve grown a bit and of now we have to pay VAT
and since we don´t work with a lot of profit margins
there was no other way than to add this percentage to the existing prices
we hope you´ll understand
the prices will not increase any further

after those busy months
time is slowing down in the workshop
.
last year ended on such a happy note
this one started a bit painful - for me
a full blown return of the back pain
(there´s soon an end to that since my magician physiotherapist returned from his holiday)
in combination with an unsettling stomach ache
hopefully someone finds out soon where it´s coming from 
and what can be done about it
.
this kind of sucks the energy right out of me
and all i want to do is come up with ideas and plans
since i really like the fresh feeling of a brand new year
.
since a lot of you enjoyed E´s performance
i will ask her to do one every time she comes visiting
right now she´s a bit stressed out writing and painting her thesis
but it´s going to be all right
she´s not only a fun performer but also an excellent writer
her first publication being on the beauty of smallness
she forgot the very small elephant i made her for Christmas
.
to a - from now on - better new year
.
an interesting  BASIL CAKE
