I'm still here and have been working a lot and spending lots of time working on personal projects. The weather has been so nice and warm that it's hard not to spend as much of our free time as possible outside at the park. P and I picked a beautiful bouquet of wild flowers yesterday while walking home. 

Next year we will be getting a little garden with a small house on it just at the northern edge of Berlin. I can't wait to spend weekends and some evenings there. I look forward to the fruit trees and growing vegetables and flowers. It's something that I've been craving these last five years, living in an apartment in the city, without a balcony.

Hope you're able to enjoy the summer and spend lots of time outside!

Happy Saturday.

Hi! I'm still here and have been in the process of reorganizing my life and my schedule. I'm hoping to have more time this summer to post. I've just been spending a lot of time making things and spending time with friends and family, and haven't put much effort into documenting these things... which is how it should be sometimes.

Have a lovely start to the week!

I've had loads of photos on my camera from the fall that I didn't get around to posting here. In September friends of ours from Toronto, The Wardens, had a show at... Gallery in Mitte that I wanted to share with you. Both of these women, Heather and Naomi, make beautiful work that doesn't cease to amaze and inspire me, so keep your eye out for them.

Happy Tuesday.

Little bits of colour are creeping back into our lives here. I'm looking forward to all the changes to come in 2013. I love the clean slate that the new year brings.

The past year has been a really great year of change and transition and we're looking forward to much more transitioning and settling to come. Some of our wonderful friends in Berlin will be moving on and leaving the city in the coming months. We're sad to see you go, but we're excited to keep in touch and spend time with you all in your new homes. We've been really lucky to have such a great, supportive network of friends here... a make shift family creating a home away from home for us.

I wish you all a great start to the new year and hope that you are all lucky enough, like we are, to be living your lives as you wish... doing things that simply make you happy.

Happy Tuesday and Happy New Year!

Ps. I'm reading a wonderful book right now; The Craftsman by Richard Sennett.  A recommendation for makers of all things concrete and abstract.

It's flower season. I'm obsessed. I've been getting in the habit of picking wildflowers when I happen upon an empty lot or random flowers along the road or canal. So we'll definitely have lots of flowers around the house for the next little while.

Summer is definitely upon us and we're making a list of all the wonderful things that we can do in and around Berlin over the next couple of months. We were planning on taking some trips within Germany and around Europe this summer but I've just quit my job, so money is a bit tight. But summer is hands down the best season to be spending in Berlin so I am not too down about staying here. 


Tonight we're heading over to HBC for the Julia Holter show, and next week I'm going to check out the Diane Arbus exhibition at Martin Gropius Bau.

Happy Thursday.
