Hello! :) I hope you’re all having a fabulous weekend! :) I’m totally enjoying mine, I’ve already done everything I needed to do for university, spent lots of time outside and there are still some nice things waiting for me. :)
It’s unbelievable how hot it’s outside, it totally feels like summer. :) Last week, Flo and I bought a few flowers, because the ones we are growing ourselves are still so tiny. So here’s how our balcony looks like, I tiny oasis and a place for relief from everyday life. <3
Happy Sunday! <3

Lots of new phone photos.
Happy weekend! :) Yay, it’s so good, because due to a public holiday on Tuesday, this time I’ve got a weekend which consists of four days! :) I still have lots of reading to do for university, but nevertheless, I’m gonna enjoy a sunny weekend with lots of nice plans. :)
To start my Saturday morning (haha, procrastination before I start learning), I wanna share a few Instagram photos. :) As I already mentioned, two weeks ago I’ve been to Darmstadt to meet Hanna, my beloved friend since 9th grade. :) I also spent one afternoon in Frankfurt to see my lovely blogger pal Vivi of Matz ab and then I spent one night in Kassel to enjoy some time with my mother and I also met my best friend. :) I also took some lomography photos, I’m gonna scan them, soon… :)
As always, I took too much stuff with me, but I love my red vintage travel bag. :)
There’s Frankfurt’s skyline which I saw from the ICE train.
Hanna wanted to give me those shoes she found on her grandma’s loft, what a pity they weren’t my size!
Lots of pretty picture frames in Hanna’s room.
What a pretty chandelier, I saw it at a thrift store.
When we went shopping on Saturday, I found this awesome Will Smith shirt. :)
Hanna’s style is truely unique. <3
I wore yellow tights and one of my favourite dresses. :)
While we were shopping, I found this amazing lace dress.
Hanna and I. <3
Before I went on this little journey, I sewed a new cover for my laptop so that I could take it with me and watch Gilmore Girls on the train. :)
On Sunday I spent a few hour with Vivi in Frankfurt, she was as likeable and cute as I imagined her to be. :) We have been chatting and taking a few photos all afternoon, hopefully we’re gonna meet each other again, soon! <3
On that weekend I also uploaded my handmade oven clothes on DaWanda to take part in DaWanda’s and byGraziela’s Mother’s Day competition (If you want to and haven’t done so, yet, you can still give my item your heart, I’d really appreciate this! :).
I spent lots of time on the train and I used this time for studying and reading boring scientific texts about German linguistics.
Yay, back at home! Do you see my awesome (handmade) kitchen textiles? :) I used one of my favourite apple fabrics from Frau Tulpe and there’s also the pretty, blue apron I got from Sindy of Ms Fisher goes Handmade. :)
I hope you’re having a lovely weekend, I’ll now have to read a bit and I’ll be back with another post on Sunday at the latest. :)

New kitchen textiles on DaWanda.
Good morning everyone! :)
As always, thanks for all the lovely comments and hello to the new readers!! :) I can’t believe there are nearly 500 people who follow my blog, wowza!
Here’s a tiny update concerning my shop: during my semester holidays, I sewed a lot and I made lots of new, colorful oven clothes for the kitchen, most of them with kitchen patterns. You can find them all in my DaWanda Shop. :)
Moreover, if you haven’t done so, yet, please do me a tiny favour and give my handmade turquoise heart oven clothes your heart on DaWanda, because whith those, I participate in DaWanda’s Mother’s Day competition. Thanks a lot!!! :)
Yay, after work I’ll be heading to Berlin to finally meet my lovely blogger pal Sammy of The Cookie Button in person! <3
Wish you a lovely Wednesday, too!
Homemade Basil Pesto
Heyy! :) I’m still busy with studying and making notes for a totally boring presentation at university, but as usual, I always reward myself with something I love and today my little reward for being hard-working was to make pesto after a recipe by my lovely friend Anja.
Here’s what you need:
– Lots of fresh basil (I bought three pots with a basil shrub)
– Fresh oregano (I forgot to include it in the photo :))
– Fresh Parmesan
– Pine nuts
– Fresh garlic
– Olive oil
– Salt (I used really good organic sea salt)
– According to Anja’s recipe, you can also use parsley, but I don’t like it, so I left it out :)
First, crush the pine nuts, the herbs and the garlic. Next, do the same with the Parmesan. Put everything into one bowl, stir everything together with the olive oil and add some salt.
Then, fill the mixture in sterile jars and pour some olive oil on top, this way it can be kept longer. :)
I always collect empty jars and thus, I don’t have to spend money on buying some. :)
To decorate the jars, I sticked little lables onto them (I got them from Stef of magnoliaelectric <3) and fixed some fabric squares to the top, sooo pretty!
This pesto has turned out more than delicious, it’s perfect with some pasta. <3
I wish you all a nice week! :)

Let’s go outside!
Hello again! :)
Yesterday evening Flo and I had dinner on our pretty balcony and since we have moved to our new apartment, it was our first barbeque. We had lots of vegetables, fresh bread and cheese, corn, grilled cheese and organic sausages for Flo. It felt so good to sit outside, smell the fresh air and listen to the singing birds. :) I love this season and I totally enjoy the warm climate and that one can spend more time outside. :)
I hope you are having a lovely weekend, I am currently studying a lot (lots to do for university) and that’s why I only have little time for creative projects. Nevertheless, I’ve got lots of ideas for upcoming projects, so make sure to come back, soon. :)
