Easy Sunday

Looks like it's going to be another grey day. No matter, I was planning on staying indoors today anyway! All I need is a cup of coffee and the latest issue of Mollie Makes.  Those miniature doggies with the tiny berets are too cute! This issue tells you how to make them! There's also a tutorial on how to make a chunky cable beanie and a classic granny square cushion, and an interview with Scandinavian fabric star Lotta Anderson. Don't miss this copy!

Schon wieder ein grauer Tag heute. Egal, ich mach es mir mit einer Tasse Kaffee und der neuesten Ausgabe von Mollie Makes gemütlich! Sind die Minihunde mit ihren winzigen Baskenmützen nicht niedlich? Diese Ausgabe zeigt wie's geht. Außerdem gibt es Anleitungen für ein Grobstrick-Beanie sowie ein klassisches Granny Square Kissen. Plus ein spannendes Interview mit der schwedischen Stoffdesignerin Lotta Anderson (von Lotta Jansdotter). Habt ihr eure Ausgabe schon?

 Wishing you all a relaxing Sunday!

Wünsche euch allen einen entspannten Sonntag!

Easy like Sunday morning...

A fresh chocolate muffin, a cup of steaming dolce gusto (decaf) and a glossy magazine...personally, I couldn't ask for a better way to start the day!

Happy Sunday everybody!!!

Fleamarket Finds

I love spending weekends at markets, especially in summer, and every once in a while I pick up gems that other people consider 'junk'. I found these two items recently for peanuts. After I cleaned and removed the candlewax residue from the bowl it was as good as new and looks very decorative in my home. I'm not sure why anyone would want to light candles in it though? And the shabby style coat hook is perfect for hanging up a few of my handmade decorations.

Enjoy your Sunday!

Dear Mom,

thank you for always being there when I needed you most. Happy Mother's Day ♥

For some reason there are very few photo's of me and my mom together. This is one of them from way back in the 70's at Christmas - I just adore that dress my mom's wearing; wish she had kept it. I could have worn it now - so vintage!

Why is it that...

...whenever I come home from grocery shopping - * the kitchen towel is lying in a heap on the floor? * there are small, wet paw marks all over the kitchen counter? * the table cloth is all askew? * and the fruit are outside of the bowl?

It wazzint me.

Time change!

What time change? I'm sleeping in...

Sleepless in B-town

My love/hate relationship with the moon. I took this picture yesterday, late afternoon, from my kitchen window. Mesmerizing, isn't it?

As I mentioned in my previous post I had trouble getting some longed for rest last night again. This always happens when there is a full moon! I'm so tired that I'm typing this with my eyes half-closed. Apart from the moon, something else kept me awake....I was hearing these crackling noises, and at about 3:00 a.m. an earsplitting bang that really freaked me out! I jumped out of bed and checked the entire house immediately. I was on my own, since hubby was on nightshift. I thought that maybe a pipe had burst, but then I saw what had happened - one of the windows in the roof had shattered. How could this happen? It's a top-brand double-glazed window pane. They're supposed to last forever... So, in the wee hours of the morning I had to sweep up the shards and also vacuum the floor. There were an amazing amount of glass splinters everywhere. I hope I didn't wake the neighbours. When my hubby came home this morning he secured the window with a sheet of plastic and tape. We're keeping our fingers crossed that the snow doesn't melt or worse, it's going to rain. We will have to wait until Monday to call the repair service, hoping that there's a guarantee on the window. I'm going to put my feet up now and do nothing. Absolutely nothing. Hope everyone else has had a good night's sleep!
