Shop Update: Spring Tote Bags.

March 18, 2011

Hello, hello, happy Friday!! :)

As I have already announced yesterday, I have not only sewn a duffle bag, but also two tote bags for spring. :) You can now buy them in my DaWanda shop.

Here are a few photos of the bags. :)

I’ve also sewn a bow which can be attached to the bag itself or to the hair. :)

Which do you like more, lightblue oder yellow? :)

Lu loves sewing: duffle bag.

Hello again! :) Here’s my latest project and I’m sooo proud. :) I wanted to have a duffle bag, but I didn’t find a pretty, colorful one anywhere, so I decided to make one myself. I have to say that I didn’t use any tutorial, I just made a sketch and thought about how to sew it myself. It took my one afternoon and I am very proud of the result. :)

Here are a few photo of my new bag, I hope you like it. :) I have also sewn two other tote bags, I will either show them this evening or tomorrow.

Love, Lu

Hello readers! :)
As most of you know, nearly everybody features those ‘what I wore’ posts on his or her blog and I must admit that I am a huge fan of those posts, because it is sooo inspiring to see what other people wear. :)
From time to time I will now start posting some of my outfits, too. :)
Have a nice afternoon, I’ll soon be back with sharing photos of 3 new bags I’ve made. I’ve sewn my first duffle bag and two tote bags and I love them. :)

DIY: Thank You Cards.

March 16, 2011

Hi! :) Today I made some Thank You cards which I will add to the packages when somebody orders an item from my shop. :) In case you want to make such cards yourself, here is a little guide.

First, draw your motif on white paper so that you can scan it and edit it on your computer.

Next, color it in photoshop.

Then, print the image. :)

I added the Thank You note in handwriting, but I could also have done this via photoshop.

Next, cut out your motif and glue it onto colorful cards. :)

From now on, everybody who orderes something will get such a little Thank You note. :)
Wish you a nice day,
Lu :)

24 New Recipes // Number 2: Mushroom Burgers with Lemon-Potatoes

March 16, 2011

Hello readers! :) Here comes the next vegetarian recipe, maybe one of you wants to try this one, too! :) It takes a bit more time than the soup from yesterday, but I think it is worth it, and it is a really savory meal. :)

You need:
– Potatoes
– A lemon
– Garlic
– An onion
– Some vegetable broth
– Olive oil
– Small bread crumbs
– About 500g / 17 ounces of mushrooms

First, peel the potatoes, cut them in pieces or slices and let them cook until they boil and until they are soft.

In the meantime, chopp garlic, the onion and the mushrooms (of course you have to wash them before that :)) and heat about 6 table spoons of vegetable broth. Pour the broth into a bowl, add fresh lemon juice, one half of the chopped garlic and some olive oil. Later, when your potatoes are cooked, you need to pour this sauce over them.

Next, soak some small bread crumbs in water until they are soft, then press the water out. You will need them for the burgers.

While the potatoes are cooking, take the other half of the garlic and the onions and steam both shortly in a pan, then add the chopped mushrooms and fry them until they have lost moisture.

After that, put the fried garlic, onions and mushrooms into a bowl with the bread crumbs, add pepper and salt knead everything until you can form burgers. In case the pulp is too fluid, add more bread crumbs.

Put the formed burgers into a pan and fry them slowly until they are light brown outside. :)

The whole meal tastes best with some fresh curd cheese. :) Enjoy your meal! :)
