Things that warm the heart...and neck ;-)

For days it's been cold and dark with rainstorms. My flight leaves tonight and I hope it isn't delayed because of the weather.
Seit Tagen ist es kalt und dunkel. Die letzen zwei Tage hatten wir Regenstürme. Hoffentlich beeinträchtigt das meinen Flug heute abend nicht!

I received the most gorgeous, incredibly soft, comfy and light-weight micro fleece the other day. The print is called "church flowers in pink" and it is from popular designer Heather Bailey's nostalgic Nicey Jane collection! Heather only recently gave birth to her third child, so instead of designing a new collection she launched a few prints in anti-pilling fleece quality to make up for it. Good job she did too! The fleece just called out to me to make a cowl...

Ich habe endlich den langersehnten Micro Fleece aus der nostalgischen Nicey Jane Kollektion von der beliebten US Designerin Heather Bailey erhalten! Der ist super-kuschelig, leicht, anti-pilling ausgerüstet und einfach nur traumhaft schön. Premium Qualität eben. Davon musste ich mir schnell für die Reise einen Loop nähen...
Demnächst gibt es davon auch Kuschelhosen für meinen Etsy shop.

And these are the things that warm my heart on cold winter days...hot cocoa, books, my cat Sammy, handmade cuteness :)
Wenn's draußen eklig kalt ist, dann bleib ich drinnen...mit gutem Buch, heißer Schokolade, Sammy und erfreue mich an süßen handgemachten Dingen :)

Off to pack the last things now! Take care and see you back after Christmas!
So, nun muß ich die letzten Dinge in den Koffer packen. Komme nach Weihnachten zurück!

Take care!
Macht's gut!

Another Rose Fabric :)

As mentioned in this post  roses feature heavily in my fabric stash! When I source fabrics - either while traveling or on the net - I frequently get a hunch when I spot 'my' fabric, and I have learned long ago to act on that hunch. The next time I look it might be sold out or I might never pass by that store again -  so I seize the moment! Whenever I fall in love with a certain fabric I buy atleast a meter, even when I have no idea what to use it for. I know that I will be inspired to create later down the road just by looking at it :)

So it was with this new fabric that arrived yesterday. It's from Heather Bailey's new Kissing Booth collection and is called Hello Roses. I chose the cream, but it comes in green and pink colourways along with coordinating basics too. The fabric is quilting quality and is very soft to the touch. Since the scale of the pattern is quite large it's perfect for interior decorating, such as a bedspread and a set of pillows or even curtains. Believe it or not, for once I'm not going to be using it to make a bag! 

Have a beautiful day!
