My 25 things before 26 list – the goals I achieved.

January 30, 2013


Hellooo! :) Next week is going to be my 26th birthday and here’s my list of goals (idea by Hula Seventy) I made one year ago. Let’s see which goals I achieved! :)
As you can see, I nearly managed to complete my list, especially those things which were most important to me. To sum it up, I made lots of progress with Luloveshandmade, shared many special moments with my loved ones, made new friends, learned new skills and worked on many creative projects, so much fun and such a good year in life!
Apart from all the great personal and creative achievements, I didn’t do much sports, although this was a point on my list. Of course, I’m always quite active, walk around, explore the city, walk the dog, and so on, but I’m too lazy for ‘real’ sports to keep me fit and to balance sitting so much (at my desk, at the sewing machine, and so on…). We’ll see if that will change this year. ;)
I’m super satisfied with having managed to achieve so many important goals and I’m already working on a ’26 things before 27′ list which I’m going to publish soon. :) Can’t wait to see what the next year of life will bring to me. Even if it’s only half as awesome as the past one, it will be perfect! :)
In case you are curious, here’s my ’24 things before 25′ list and here are all my other lists with plans and goals that I published on my blog. :)
Do you make lists with goals? :) Do you always achieve all of them? I love writing down goals to stay focused and of course, because it’s fun!

Come to my very first public workshop!

January 28, 2013


Heeello! :) Amazing news (for me and for all the ones living in or around Berlin) today! This week, I’ll be giving my very first public workshop!! :)
It takes place on Thursday, January 31, it starts at 7 p.m. and takes about 2-3 hours. It takes place at DaWanda’s Snuggery, showroom and workspace, which is located in Berlin-Charlottenburg. The workshop is for free and all supplies will be provided. :) We are going to make mini-pinboards covered in pretty fabric and you can then take them home with you. :)
For registration, simply visit the Snuggery page and fill out the form on the right side. :)
I’d love to see and meet some readers and can’t wait for the workshop! :)

What I Wore: Winter Candy Outfit in the Snow

January 27, 2013

Coat: asos
Dress: Vero Moda
Leggins & leg warmers: Rossmann
Super cozy winter boots: Roland
Tote: DaWanda
Turquoise scarf, white scarf, white wrist warmers & grey cardigan: H&M
Turquoise headband: handmade by me
Pink moustache brooch: handmade by me
Sparkling ring: gift by Flo :*
Bow ring: unknown shop

First of all, thank you so much for all your super kind and sweet comments on my very first video, this meant so much to me!!! :* It was so flattering to read all those lovely comments and all of you really made me happy, thank you!! I really appreciate your feedback & support and I’m so glad you like it! And so funny to read that some of you imagined my voice to be much more deeper. :D

So here’s about my outfit: a few days ago, Flo and I went to the forest for a walk with Mogli and took photos of this colorful winter outfit. I love pink and turqouise and this is just perfect on a grey winter day. :) I love, love, love colors and I can’t wait for weather to become warmer to wear all my dresses without many other layers of clothes over them.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeks!!!!!!!!
DaWanda’s seller education team has recently invited me to share my experiences and knowledge concerning blogging. In this video I talk about how to successfully use social media – especially a blog – in order to promote a shop and in order to support one’s independent business. All the advice I give is based on my personal experiences and all the things I learned in the past years since I have started my blog. This can also be seen on DaWanda’s blog where my video is introduced to the community. :)

Last week, Lena of DaWanda visited me at home with her camera and we were making this video, I had lots of fun and it was a totally new experience. Of course, Mogli was part of the video, too, he’s such a cute pie with his handmade doggie bow tie! :)

Awwwww, so exciting! Now you can hear me talking and see me sitting in my craft corner! :)
Have fun!

My Colorful Home.

January 21, 2013


Hello! :) When the sun came out a few days ago, I took my chance to take a few photos from our flat to show you some colorful pieces from my favorite place in the world, my home (for older home tour posts, click here :)).


I love colorful bedding and different fabrics and patterns.

Handmade fabric recycling project and my pinboard with all my photobooth photos.

Notebooks and pencil case.

My colorful (washi) tape collection, my (handmade) stamps and two of my pouches (I designed the owl pattern myself. :)).

This is a part of my sewing corner. I use the wine crate to display lomo cameras and I use a pink spice rack to store my textile colors. The colorful illustrations were all found on Pinterest and then printed out.


Fabric, handmade brooches and ‘Mr. Moustache’ mugs.


Handmade pillows for my shop, a part of my fabric collection and some of my favorite DIY books and magazines.

My handmade brooches and hair bows. :)

Part of my jewellery collection.

As you can see everywhere, I love colors. My nailpolish collection is constantly growing, I’m a sucker for pretty nails. :)

This is a part of my colorful collection of tights and leggings and all of my dresses.

The deer painting is by my dear friend Hanna, I love it so much! My room is full of handmade buntings to add color and next to my mirror, there are old vintage picture frames which I painted white and filled with fabric scraps.

I love the matryoshkas I got as a Christmas gift last year and I also love the awesome granny square that Anja made me for Christmas this year!! :-*

Flo’s gamepad pillow I sewed him as a birthday present 1 1/2 years ago, he loves it! :)

A few pieces of out kitchen. When we moved in here, I made a collection of apple fabric kitchen textiles for our new home and about two years ago, I started collecting pretty vintage kitchen wares, especially cups, tea pots and plates.

Fresh flowers to brighten our home on our turquoise kitchen table which I painted myself! :) The owl egg timer is one of my favorite items in our kitchen.

Here are two of my very favorite plates from my vintage dishes collection and some of the little tea cups. Moreover, I love collecting pretty postcards and artprints with nice patterns and bright colors! :)

How did you like those snapshots from our home? Any favorite pieces and corners? :)

Love, Lu
