January 2014, a summary

In January I started working again after a needed Christmas break and spent a great day together with Trixi and Maria.


I got a haircut and planned to organize the shelves in my studio (hasn't happened).


Made good lunches "whatever I find in the fridge"-style.


Had coffee in the mornings with Johan and took long walks before heading to the studio to crochetcrochetcrochet.


Walky walk and a good hangover lunch (spaghetti with butter and parmesan) after a great night out with friends.


Moved around furniture in the livingroom and bought spices for cabbage curry.


Sushi for lunch in the studio and then came winter.


Walked and worked. As usual.


Took myself out for breakfast at Aunt Benny and read a book on the sofa being taken care of by the baby of the flat (the coal oven, our very unmodern and not very environmental friendly heating system - but I love it anyway).

January was a very good month, I was enjoying my routines a lot (work, walks, coffee and food) :)

Sun-day with friends

Spent my sunday with friends (Johan, Marion, Christina & Mary) having coffee and visiting a fleamarket. This week I have spent most of my time working on new grannysquare blanket which will be listed in the shop as soon as it's finished :)

White anemones came knocking on my door

Today I received an amazing gift.


Look at this bouquet!


It's like as if Ruby had been reading my mind.


White anemones are my favourite flowers at this time of year and yesterday I was out looking for some in several flower shops.


I decided to put the flowers in two different vases.


What a great mix together, don't you think?


And a handwritten letter. Thank you so much Ruby of Mary Lennox Flowers. You made my day! Welcome to Berlin :)

Early morning in Kreuzberg

Got up early this morning to take a walk with Johan to his work, we stopped by 19grams for great coffee, banana bread and croissant. On my way home I passed by Sironi for some amazing bread that smells so good that I want it as a perfume ;) It feels like spring has arrived, the pigeons are running around nuts on the streets trying to make babies.
