It's a holiday today in Germany and I have some additional time off work, which I am trying to use to reorganize and reprioritize. Lots of change in the air! I went out dancing last night for the first time in years!

Here are some shots from around the house. I need to get back into the habit of taking a camera out with me... maybe even start shooting some film again.

Happy Thursday.

I've had a bit of an unplanned break in the blogging lately. Really I've been spending my spare moments concentrating on some knitting projects. I'm working on a few things that are taking me FOREVER... mostly because I haven't knit in such a small gauge before. A friend and I also experimented last weekend dyeing cotton and wool with onion skins!

I'm also in the process of making some more big changes in my life, mostly in the professional sense. I'm hoping to have much much more time this summer for all of my projects and more regular blogging!

If you are around check out the shows at Galerie Berinson and Nordenhake Gallery in Galerienhaus.

We've been in love with this restaurant lately.

Happy Tuesday.

It's definitely springtime here. The weather is beautiful and we're spending as much time as possible outside... which means not much work is getting done. Oh well. We've just been spending lots of time biking around town and hanging out at Biergartens and with friends. Regardless of all this time spent outside the house, I've made some headway on my first knitting machine project. Photos to come shortly!

This week I'd like to get to the Gerhard Richter show at Neue National Galerie and the Christopher Roth show at Esther Schipper.

Happy Monday.

I've been trying to hang around the house more lately... just to get some work done on a few of my projects. This new spring weather is making it very hard though.

I ended up picking up a few new pieces of clothing for the upcoming season, from Robber (in Toronto) and from Elfinger, a tiny store in Kreuzberg with a wonderful selection of clothing for women and children.

Happy Sunday.

I'm working hard these days at finding a good work/life/crafting balance. It's coming... slowly but surely. Today was one of the first days where it feels like spring is in Berlin. Spring weather has such an effect on me. It's like I'm a new person... the fresh spring air really breathes new life into me.

Here are some photos from the last few weeks around Berlin. Hopefully soon I'll have completed some new projects that I'm working on. I've been fiddling around with the knitting machine that M. got me for Christmas. It's definitely teaching me about patience.

Did I mention how much I love this shop in Kreuzberg? They're having a sale starting tomorrow!

Happy Wednesday.

The new year feels like it's finally beginning for me. We're just back from a very short, very last minute, very busy holiday. I'm sorry if I didn't get in touch with you while we were in Canada. Next time we'll have to allot much more time for friends.

We spent a lot of time with family, went to a lot of antique markets, and tried to pack in as many friends as possible, and didn't take enough photos. Here are just a few photos that actually turned out.

I start working again next week. Here's to getting into new routines.

Happy Wednesday.
