I've been pretty productive lately... this doesn't include the online realm though. I've been concentrating on getting back into sewing and crocheting and have been finishing off tons of small projects that have been sitting around and staring at me for awhile (some of them for a couple of years).

Last Sunday we actually did some Sunday things. I dragged M. out of the house to go to the Arkonaplatz fleamarket. It might be one of my favourites in Berlin. Nice and quaint.

Some fun events are coming up in Berlin over the next couple of weekends. This coming Sunday there will be a giant outdoor clothing exchange at Moritzplatz... and next Friday there's another at the Stadtbad Oderbergerstr. in Prenzlauer Berg (starting at 9pm). Who knows maybe I'll even swing by one of them.

Happy Tuesday.

Bits and pieces.






I've been hanging around the house much too much lately. Actually I've been loving every minute of it, but have noticed that most of my photos are shot from this little space in which we live. I've tried to get out and take some more photos today but it started raining... and I didn't feel like pulling the camera out.

This weekend we're trying to catch the tail-end of the Berlin Biennale. So far we've seen the George Kuchar exhibition at Mehringdamm 28.

I bought some ingredients to make my "famous in some small circles" dill pickles. I haven't pickled since we moved to Berlin and so I'm looking forward to getting back into it tomorrow. I just have to find some canning jars.

I'm slowly getting inspired to sew more and starting out again by sewing super simple little projects. I've just finished a little cafe apron and will start on a cardigan for M. next. Sewing is one thing that I intend to get back into in full force. M. bought me this book years ago and I really want to delve into it again this fall.

Happy Friday.

Sunday special.


We're having some friends over for brunch today. Waffles will be on the menu. On Wednesday I thought I'd treat us for breakfast and made some pancakes with peaches on top.

Happy Sunday.
