Hey everyone! :) What have you been up to lately? :) I finished a lot of sewing projects (but I didn’t manage to take photos of all of them, because either the light hasn’t been good enough or I didn’t have any time) and this is a pouch I made for my beloved friend Anja as a birthday present. :)
How do you like the pattern and the floral print? I love the fabric and I immediately had to think of her when I saw the fabric and its color combination. Can’t get enough of sewing, there are so many pretty things to do. :)
By the way, check out Vivi’s blog (although it’s in German, there are lots of pretty photos), she has recently been featuring me and some of my items. :)
Wish you a lovely day!
Lu :)
Happy birthday, Anja!
Yaaaaaay, happy birthday, sweetheart! :)
Today’s a special day, it’s my friend Anja‘s birthday! :) I wish you all the best one can wish, but I’m gonna tell you this in person later today… :)
Anja and I have been ‘knowing’ each other for many years through the online forum of our common favourite band, but we really became friends about two years ago when we had our first date after I had moved to Potsdam. <3
The first fisheye photo above was taken exactly 2 years ago on her birthday, shortly after we started seeing each other. :) Since then, we spent a lot of time together and I love her as a friend! :)
I hope you are having an amazing day, see you later!! :) <3
Another tiny shop update.
My dearest readers, I hope you are having a lovely Sunday! :) After our weekly Sunday brunch, we went out for a walk in the forest and afterwards, I’ve been sewing for a while.
I made a whole bunch of new oven cloth and listed them on DaWanda. :) I love colorful kitchen textiles, what about you? :)
What have you been doing all weekend?

What they wanted to know…
Hey! :) I have recently been invited to participate in a little
question and answer challenge.
question and answer challenge.
Anna and Malin have both asked me a few questions (they asked them
in German, so I roughly translated them into English). Questions one to eleven
have been identical and both of them asked them, but questions twelve to
sixteen have only been asked by Malin. :)

1. When you were a child, what have you been wanting to become later?
When I was a child, I didn’t have any real future plans or job ideas, I
only knew that I wanted to have own children one day and a house with a garden.
:) I’m not one of those people who have been knowing their whole life what they
wanted to be one day, I rather tend to see what comes and how my skills and
interests develop.

2. What was the most important thing you’ve
learnt at school?

I learned to focus on what’s important for me and I learned how to
speak English. <3

3. How did you imagine you would be like at this
age when you were younger?
age when you were younger?
I had no idea about how I would be like. At this time, although it
hasn’t been a real future plan, I sometimes imagined myself to be a teacher.
Maybe I’ll teach e-courses one day instead of teaching normal pupils at a
school, I think this would be more fun… :)

4. What is your all-time-favourite-book?
‘To kill a mockingbird’ by Harper Lee. Fantastic book, you should read
it! :) I love American literature, that is one of my favorite subjects at
university.

5. What is your favourite quote?
I love this quote (and the extremely pretty illustration), because it’s full of positive thoughts!
6. What was the last time you’ve been crying tears of happiness?
I’m really emotional and that happens quite often when I’m happy, but
the last time I’ve been really, really, really crying tears of happiness was
last summer at the Foo Fighters concert in Berlin, just the moment when Dave
Grohl was entering the stage and they were playing the first chords… <3

7. What is your favourite city?
Berlin! And Potsdam! Ha, I love them both… But these are only my
favorites of those I’ve already been to. I think there are some way more
exciting places. :)

8. Where would you like to travel to?
To the US! I’d love to see New York and California one day, but I’m
also dreaming of a road trip through the US. And I’d love to visit New Zealand
one day.

9. What would you rather change in your life?
Nothing, I love my life! I’ve got many plans and ideas for how to
improve my life one day, but these are all things on which I’m already working
pretty hard.

10. What is your traditional Christmas meal (Ha,
you see, it’s been a while since I’ve been asked these questions… Sorry for
the delay! :))?

In the past, I loved eating poultry with red cabbage and potato
dumplings, but since I have changed my eating behavior and have decided not to
eat animals anymore, I substituted poultry with delicious homemade mushroom
rissoles (soooo tasty!).

11. Whatever happens, what would you like to do
this year?
this year?
I definitely want to visit my girlfriends who live far away from me and
I can’t wait for these girl’s weekends! <3

12. Where would you be now if money didn’t
matter?
My mother and I would definitely live closer to each other if
money didn’t matter, but concerning a particular place, I’ve got no idea! Not,
that’s not true, I think I’d have many idea, too many, but not a single one
which instantly comes to my mind when thinking about this.

13. Do you still have your first cuddly toy?
Maybe in one of the boxes with toys from my
childhood which my mother is keeping for me, but I never had a close relation
to a certain cuddly toy. :)

14. What do you think about carnival? Do you
dress up?
dress up?
Irgs, I don’t like carnival, or to be precise, I
do not like the German version. I don’t like too many drunken people in one
place at the same time and I don’t like tasteless costumes. But apart from
that, I loooove dressing up (and throwing costume parties…)! :)

day?

Real love! <3
16. Favourite blog?
Wowza, there are tooo many I read every day. If
the question had been ‘name ten of your favourite blogs,’ this would have been
way easier. My absolutely favourite blog is – surprise, surprise –
abeautifulmess. :) In case there’s still a reader who doesn’t know this blog,
make sure to check it out. :)

If you like to, I’d also love to hear the answers to these questions from Sammy, Vivi and Steffi, but of course it’s ok if you don’t want to! :) Maybe you can leave out question number 10… :)

A tiny shop update.
Hey guys, happy Thursday! :) I just wanted to inform you about a little shop update. Because the old boards I made in autumn were nearly sold out, I decided to make some new mini pinboards and listed them on DaWanda just yesterday. :) I hope you like them and I already have a feeling that I know which one will be everybody’s favourite… :)
Enjoy your day! :)
