Transition.

Sorry for my major absence, we've just been getting used to our new lives over here. Hopefully I'll be back and running with this blog... and in general in a couple of weeks. I know that I'm a bit ambitious, but I can't wait to get out into the city and explore with our little bundle. I'm not used to sitting around our apartment so much.

Hope you're all having fun out there.

Happy Wednesday.

Fresh.

We took our first steps outside today in over a week. Felt like spring. Strolled down to the best little cake shop in Berlin, Mr. Minsch.

Happy Monday.

Happy New Year!

Our little surprise came just in time for New Year's.

Hope you're having fun wherever you are!

Holidays.

We're amassing a top collection.

Pulled out the "pull-out" couch for a comfier film watching experience.

I hope that everyone had a lovely time over the holidays. I tried to spend as little time as possible on the internet. It was a success. We had a pretty relaxing time, ate too much delicious food, watched many movies, did some embroidery and sewing.

Happy Monday.

This year I've surprisingly been into decorating for Christmas, and after seeing a "Himmeli" a few years ago at a the Finnland-Zentrum here in Berlin, I've been obsessed with making one of these for our own place. I've finally got around to it this year, although at this point it's still a work in progress. I'll be hanging up the finished product tomorrow though!




Happy Wednesday.

Sunday brunch during the week! We're trying to enjoy more of these while we can. A lovely friend gave us some homemade apple marzipan and almond jam. Mmmmm.

I'm so close to finishing off the knitted baby tights with feet in them. I'm looking forward to seeing the end result.

I can see some blue sky poking through the clouds today... maybe I'll even get out of the house before it gets dark out.

Happy Thursday.

A storm.

I've been sewing up a storm here. I've finished making all of our cloth diapers. Finally put together a pattern for baby pants and here's the first sample. I wish there was a newborn around here so I could check and see if they fit!

There's a busy weekend coming up for us. We're having dinner with friends at WAU on Friday night. My friend Ninon has an opening at Staalplaat Store on Saturday night, plus other friends of ours are having a housewarming. This could be my last weekend of action for a while.

Happy Wednesday.
