It’s spring!

April 13, 2011

Apart from the bad, rainy weather today, spring has come and I really enjoyed the weather last weekend and had my first real ice cream of the year, because my favourite ice cream parlour has just opened. :) Of course I am happy about every opportunity to try out my new camera. :)

Potsdam is constantly under construction.

The ones on the right side are my favourite flavours. :) Walnut-fig, mango and raspberry-lime. <3

Mogli, the lonesome rider. :)

I bought some flowers for our flat. :)

What I Wore – Drawing.

April 12, 2011

Maybe some of you already know Gemma Correll and her oh so beautiful illustrations and if you don’t, take a look at her page. :) She is the one who has also created a flickr group in which one can post daily outfits, but only drawings of them. The group is soooo worth being looked at, because there are sooo many talented people posting drawings of what they wore and what is most fascinating are all the different styles in which they create the drawings. :)
Jenny, a friend of mine, has also posted two of her outfits there and I especially like this one where one can totally recognize her.
Because I’m not good at drawing faces, I left it out at the first try, I can only draw them when I make a detailed pencil drawing, but this time my drawing of the face looked so awful that I erased it in photoshop… :)

This is the drawing I made with looking at the photo Flo took of me last weekend, then I scanned it and added the color in photoshop. :)

Insights into my room.

April 9, 2011

Dear readers, I haven’t been posting something for a few days, because I have been busy with some other things and did not find time for blogging. :) During my absence, as I have already posted yesterday, I received my new camera and today I took some photos of my room to show you how it looks like. :)

This is one of my accessory displays on the wall to keep my handmade things organized. :)

Here’s how I store all my pouches and purses.

Hair bows and hair clips.

Those are all the brooches I’ve made. :)

I love this chair, it’s fom IKEA and I bought it when Flo and I moved together.

The Matryoshka pillow is sooo cute, isn’t it? I got it as a birthday present from Anja. <3

This is one of my favourite places in my room, the corner with all my handmade stuff and the red chair. :) On the right side of the photo, you can see my tiny, but constantly growing fabric collection. :)

Those are all my handmade necklaces. The cute animals are handmade, too.

I use a plain canvas to organized those necklaces and earrings.

Here’s an old brother typewriter I got from my mother and in the glass cans I keep laces. The CDs there are only the ones I’ve got of my two most favourite bands in the world, the Donots and the Foo Fighters.<3

Like every time I take photos, Mogli become curious and wants to be close to me. :D

Those are some really old photos and a part of my easel I got as a Christmas present from Flo some years ago. :)

This is my desk, the second one of my favourite places at home. Here, most of my creativity develops and I make all the things I sell. :) The pinboards help me not to forget anything and to stay focused on the projects I want to make.
