July 19, 2012

Watch out, this is gonna be a reeeeeeally looooong photo post! :)

Wowza, I sometimes don’t realize how many photos I take every single day, but at the latest when browsing all my Instagram photo files, I always recognize that I’m addicted to (phone) photography and to take little snapshots of my everyday life. :)
Especially for those who haven’t seen all those colorful photos on Instagram, yet (if you want to follow me, search for @luloveshandmade), here’s what happened recently. :)

1. – 3. Flo and I while we are walking the dog, on our way to a family party. // 4. Prettily dressed for my grandparents’ 60th wedding anniversay. :) // 5. Summer. // 6. Oh, how much I love horses! I wish I could afford riding (unbelievable how expensive this is!), I haven’t done horse riding for years!

1. Flo and I found an abandoned car, such a beauty! // 2. Half-timbered house in my grandparents’s village. // 3. My grandparents have a cherry tree in their garden. <3 // 4.

1. Pimp my dress – more photos coming soon. :) // 2. Handmade stamp. // 3. Taking outfit photos with Jenny. // 4. Harvesting strawberries from our balcony. // 5. I sewed myself a sailor hat!!!!! Awwww, I’m so proud of myself! :) // 6. Fresh nails, inspired by Jenny. <3

Fabric Scrap Wall Decor DIY – Guest post on Food’n’Fotos

July 18, 2012



Hello! :) Maybe some of you recognize the fabric scraps recycling DIY I recently shared with you: today Birdie posted it on her awesome vegan food blog called Food’n’Fotos. I translated the tutorial into German in order to share it with her readers and to celebrate the blog’s birthday. :) If you’re searching for delicious vegan recipes (in German), Birdie’s blog is the right place for you! :)
Wish you a nice evening! :)

An Unintended Swap: Scrapbook Kit and Craft Supplies

July 18, 2012


Hello my dear readers! :) I’ve got some eye candy to share with you. :) A few weeks ago, one of my Instagram pals, Kathleen (@msterious), asked me to do her a really tiny weeny favour which really wasn’t a big deal. Then, a few days later, she sent me this super awesome summer album kit with lots of beautiful scrapbook supplies!!! :) This kit includes a handmade album, lots of buttons, washi tape stripes, pretty paper goods and so many cute, little things to look at. :) I was so happy about this awesome package that I found in the mail box that I wanted to thank her for it and wanted to surprise her, so I prepared a tiny package, too. :) Thus, this whole thing somehow turned into a little swap, although it hadn’t meant to be one. :)

I sent her a handmade pencil case, lots of fabric scraps for future scrapbook projects, buttons and some tiny pieces of paper. :) It was so much fun to put together this little package. :)

Last weekend, Kathleen has just opened an own DaWanda shop – Scattered Confetti – where you can buy different album kits, all put together with lots of love and thoughfulness with many cute details. :) You should definitely have a look! :)

Wish you a happy Wednesday!
