March 2014, a summary

March started with having oysters and going to Potsdam with Johan.


We took a Monday off and had delicious pizza and salad at Clärchen's Ballhaus.


Benno and I.


Took a walk on a sunny Sunday and Johan baked bread.


Camilla & Anne invited us over for dinner and the day after I was admiring the blossoming cherry trees.


On Anne's last day in Berlin we had drinks and went to Streetfood Thursday for some dumplings.


Me at a friend's place. Went bowling with friends for the first time in 9 years. Managed 4 strikes, wow!


My sister came for a surprise visit for Johan's birthday (performing Zum Geburtstag viel Glück on stage as a birthday present, Johan cried happy tears). We also had a date with Benno.


Coffee in the morning and a picnic in Görlitzer Park with Johan and Camilla last Saturday.


Yesterday Johan and I had sushi for lunch and took long long walks.

It's been a lovely month, filled with meeting friends and forgetting about everyday life from time to time. Now let's see what April brings :)

Monster Paw

I bought some eucalyptus during the weekend and found this thing which I call monster paw.


My sister was here as a surprise for Johan's birthday and she gave him lilies. On my balcony I found a twig which had fallen from a sycamore tree.

How have you been? I have been super busy and didn't take many pictures with my "blog camera" this month. Will do a summary from march with pictures taken with my phone's camera soon :) See you!

Buttcrack Dolls available again!

Let me present Mr. Marios, Mr. Achilleas & Mr. Dimitris (named after some of my greek friends) :)
You find them and more information about them in my shop. Welcome!

February 2014, a summary

February started so well. Spinach-gorgonzola-quiche and coffee for breakfast and Camilla moved here!


Johan, Camilla and I had brunch together on a weekday and another morning I had a sandwich while responding to emails.


Spent a lot of time at home for a few days and met up with Johan and Camilla for Streetfood Thursday every week.


Had dinner at Camilla's and the day after Johan got sick.


And passed it on to me, so I was sick as well for a few days. This is what we ate.


When I'm sick I can't drink coffee, so instead I went for hot chocolate. When I was better again I went out for drinks and food with J & C.


On a lovely Saturday the three of us went to a fleamarket and then shared that lunch together. So good.


And the day after Johan and I met some friends for coffee and beer.


Sushi date with Johan and I was working like a maniac on the grannysquare blanket I posted about yesterday.


Late night cocktails with J & C and then Spring arrived for sure.

(These pictures are a selection of what I have posted on instagram. I use an iPhone 5s and edit the pictures in an app called vsco cam (contrast and brightness).)

Grannysquare Blanket No07

Grannysquare Blanket No07 will be available tomorrow (March 12) at noon (Berlin, Germany, time) in my shop. You find it (all information about it) here.

Please note: The blanket is SOLD.

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) :)
