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.

     

    

     

 

We're just settling in at home after a long holiday. It's nice to get back into a routine again. While we were away I managed to experiment with some tiny weaving samples. I'm just itching to get back into using my loom!

Have a lovely Tuesday.

Happy belated New Years! I spent most of December dealing with health issues and then the beginning of January recovering from minor surgery. Now pretty much fully recovered I feel like my year is finally beginning. 

I've been spending lots of time making things for around the house, like this rug that I finally finished. I had been working on it on and off for about a year now. It's perfect under our feet for the arrival of this cold weather we've been having.

Happy Saturday.

We've been gearing up for fall and winter and have been trying to soak up the sunny days when they present themselves.

M. made some Grittibänz this weekend, wonderful little bread rolls.

I've been taking over M.'s studio lately, because it's been getting harder and harder to keep my projects out of little curious hands. Plus it is a wonderfully spacious and quiet place to be. No internet to distract me! I am thinking of permanently moving my sewing machine there as well. It would definitely improve my productivity.

Patterns and colour are popping up in our home and in my own projects lately. I'll post some photos as I finish projects up... hopefully in the coming weeks. I am full of ideas these days. I just hope that I can eke out some time to bring them to fruition.

Happy Monday.

                               

Nature, leaves and outdoors on my mind. We're passively hunting for a cabin somewhere close to Berlin. I am dreaming of projects to test out our ability to build and have some ideas in mind for our apartment in the meantime. Perhaps once we make some progress I'll have some interesting things to post here!

Happy Monday.

Hello from Berlin. I'm back from a half a year break. Fall is officially upon us now... we broke down and turned on the heat yesterday.

Happy sunny Friday.

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.

It has been very grey and rainy in Berlin the last few days. It's making me think of the wonderful fall weather we had over the past few months. Here are some photos from a few of our fall days when I found myself with a little time on my hands, and spent some of it in various cafes around the city.

Happy Thursday. I hope the sun is shining where you are.
