Hello! :) Here’s a sewing project I finished a few weeks ago, I sewed this awesome Gameboy pillow for a friend of mine as a birthday present. :) I didn’t know what to make for him and since I wanted something which is an object of daily use as well as something personal, I made this pillow, because he loves video games. :) I think it turned out great, so how do you like it? :) Such a pillow can now also be bought on DaWanda, so in case you need a Christmas present for your boyfriend, you can order it here. :)
My Life in Fake Polaroid Pictures: New Home
Hello, happy Sunday! :) Yesssss, after some strenuous weeks of preparations, we finally moved! :) Here are a few first impressions, I’ll share better photos in a few days… :) As you can see, fall has come and the leaves have turned yellow and Mogli enjoyed cuddling with his blanket. :) A few days ago, my mother had an awesome surprise for me, she gave me the most beautiful sleigh as a present!! <3 She ordered it from Bavaria and it’s sooo pretty. Only some days earlier, friends of us gave us their old sleigh, too, so now we have two and I can’t wait for the first snow to come!! :)
I organized some of my favourite bags and I received this pretty vintage etagiere which I ordered from a really lovely shop on DaWanda where I had already ordered something before. Then, last Friday, we spent our first night in the new apartment and on the right photo you can see how it looked like when I went out for a walk with Mogli in the first morning. :)
Then, our friends came and this is how it looks like when the girls are ‘helping’. :D Haha, no, they actually helped me to prepare dinner for us and the hungry boys who were carrying all the heavy stuff. In the afternoon, after everything was done, we had dinner and rewarded them with the little present bags I prepared a few weeks ago. :) On the last photo you can see our breakfast table this morning, I was preparing lots of food while the boys were still sleeping. Do you see my pretty vintage plates from the flea market? :) We had a fresh fruit salad, a cake, hard boiled eggs and many other delicious things to perfectly start the day. :)
Our breakfast was great and Flo and I were so thankful for all the nice people who helped us. :) Do you recognize my handprinted Mr. Mouctache mug? :)
Finally, everything (apart from decor and little details) is done. :) Here are my new sewing corner, my cozy cord chair by the window and our new kitchen with my pretty, turquoise table. :)
Wish you a lovely Sunday, I’m gonna use my new sewing table for the first time and I’ll share some more photos soon. :)

DIY Project List of Past DIYs
Happy Sunday! :) For those who are relatively new to my blog (Hello, I’m glad you read my posts! :)), here’s a list of past DIY projects I posted some time ago. I know that Sunday is a day when many of you sit at home and craft or sew (Apart from going to the flea market, that’s one of my favourite ways to spend Sundays, too :)), and that’s why I thought I could share a list of tutorials I once made and maybe there’s somebody who wants to try one of those projects. :)
1. This is an easy sewing project perfect for beginners and I posted it only a short time ago. The tutorial shows you how to make a simpe heart-shaped pillow, either as a gift for the special one you love, or to beautify your bedroom. :)
2. During my first blog party which I hosted past summer, I shared a project for how to make little cupcake pincushions.
3. Making those cute, little felt owl brooches was one of the first DIY projects I ever shared on my blog. :)
4. Here’s a sewing tutorial for a camera case. If you want to read the German version, you can click here. :)
5. This project has also been developed last summer during my first blog party, I shared how to print tote bags with natural stamps.
6. Finally, this was a colorful present I made for my mother: a canvas embellished with felt clouds and rain drops.
Wish you a happy Sunday, I’ll be going to the new apartment to go on arranging the rooms and to build up furniture. :)
My Life in Fake Polaroid Pictures: Moving to a New Home
Hi! :) Here are a few new snapshots I’ve been taking during the last few days. My mother bought us pretty flowers for our new balcony, I wore my new vintage dress and two of the cutest pins I made at work and I finished painting my extremely pretty kitchen cupboard. :) Of course I’ll show better before – after photos after everything’s done. :)
Moreover, the new semester has started and I could use my pretty, new owl pencil case. I know, I already own lots of those cases and handmade pouches, but it was so cute, I couln’t resist buying it. :) One day, I bought my mother fresh flowers and we had quiche for lunch.
Here I asked my mother to take a photo of my outfit, but she isn’t used to my mobile phone and so she cut off my head. :D This is my lovely, new vintage dress from Olenka Vintage. <3 I took the last photo just a few hours ago, my new room starts looking like it’s mine!! :) I love it, here you can see my future sewing table and my comfy cord chair just next to the window. :)
Can’t wait to finish everything and to finally live there and I’m soooo endlessly thankful for my mother helping us with everything. <3
What Inspires Me
Hello! :) Wanna see some awesome sources of inspiration I found on Pinterest? :)
1. I really love this bright kitchen shelf, the colorful details are so pretty and I like the bunting.
2. I’ve recently seen lots of DIY tutorials like this for how to make a pretty Peter Pan collar and I definitely wanna make one myself.
3. Which pretty shoes! I must make cute clips for my shoes to make them look as pretty as the ones on the photo. :)
4. This is such a beautiful home decor idea, I’ll try that as soon as the new apartment is finished, this will add lots of color to plain corners in each room. :)
5. Some months ago I fell in love with floral vintage plates, I started to collect some and I totally fell in love with those especially pretty ones on that photo. <3
6. Great idea for a photo display using a wooden picture frame.
7. Awwww, I’m usually not a big fan of candles (to me they are just dust catchers, I only use them during the Christmas season), but this is such a cute idea! Wanna make those one day as little gifts and this way, I have a good excuse for vintage teacup shopping at the flea market. :)
8. This is an awesome idea, isn’t it? I have way too many scarves and other accessories and I love this way of using an old ladder to organize those things.
9. I’ve recently been thinking of making bow ties for Flo and Mogli for Christmas and this one looks extremely nice.
10. Oh my gosh, this is incredibly beautiful! <3 I’ve been seeing those old enamel sieves everywhere on the flea market and the person who had this pretty idea of using it as a flower pot definitely inspired me to make such a thing for my new balcony. :)
So, what’s your favourite? :)
