february at home #2

Want a peak in my home?



 

Reading right now.

Yes, I like to collect pretty things.

Yes, we like clocks.

starting february at home

Unfortunately I had to start this February lying around at hoem. I'm better now, but still feeling a little... weary. Time goes on so slowly when there's absolutely nothing you can do...


... when the only thing you can do...


 is to lie around in a corner...

But I absolutely love these two blankets. Both are made by my mother,  the white one is mine and the granny one is a present for my daughter for her 10th birthday, partly made of the squares I crocheted late in the 1970's!

I'm so fortunate to have a warm home.

take a smile

don't know if i have already shown you this?? i show something like that at Tanja's facebook & remembered mine. don't you need this everyday? i had seen the idea for mine somewhere in www... thank's for the idea! ♥

two happy things

my very best dearest bought returned home from Tunisia yesterday and brought along something very special: a bowl full of delicious zgougou cream!
here pictures together with my second happy thing of the day: I turnes two of my wrist cuffs into happy little candle holders :-*

ps. zgougou is kind of a "pudding" made of pine nuts! *yammy*

for you, dear friends out there ♥

♥ It fills my heart with so much joy to see how many people visit my blog and to notice that you come from all over! It would make me so happy to hear from you once in a while, so please don't hesitate to leave a comment, how short ever it might be. I really could use some encouragement at the moment.  Thank you for being a friend!

the house with the red spot

On my daily walks with Enna, the first house we see, is this one. A normal, modern house, pretty boring. Except of this pretty red detial on the wasll. It always makes me happy. Even in the grayest days.

me & my friend

my one & only Enna - we have been spending the last days together. She is not allowed it sleep in the bed, but yesterday I decided to move to the couch.

favorite street art

Lying sick in bed for days, finally a little fitter, trying to find some distraction for a while browsing through internet, I happened to end up in this nice blog of Valentina, Vintage blackboard.
I absolutely fell in love with the street art of Kenny Random. Wouldn't really mind having some on my own walls. Kenny!??

To see more please visit Valentina's blogpost about Kenny Random by clicking on the pictures which are from her blog ! ♥

this morning ♥

♥ Morgens etwa um 7 Uhr... links Hund, rechts der kleine Kompakt. Ich freue mich, dass es nicht mehr stockfinster ist!

♥ Seven o'clock in the morning. Dog in the left hand, my tiny compact in the right hand. I'm so happy, it's getting lighter earlier day by day.

♥ Aamulla seitsemän aikaa; vasemmassä kädessä koira, oikeassa pikkupokkari. Ihanaa, kun ei enää ole ihan pilkkopimeää!

please visit me in Tunisia ♥

wishing a better future.

when i'm big, i'll be a ferrari

♥ waiting in front of a kindergarten

♥ today

... and live today. ♥

Take a break ♥

Jetzt ist erst mal Kaffeepause angesagt. Und dann fangen schon bald unsere Weihnachten: bei uns ist schon heute die Bescherung, damit wir alle zusammen sein können. Dir wünsche ich eine wunderbare Weihnachtszeit und bis bald!

 ♥

First coffee. And then the last preparations for our Christmas that we start already tonight! I wish you all a happy time and hear you soon, dear friends!

♥

Ensin kahvia! Ja sitten loppuspurtti valmisteluihin. Meidän aattomme on jo tänään, että voimme olla kaikki yhdessä. Teille kaikille ihanaista jouluaikaa - palaan pienen tauon jälkeen!

Christmas peaks

 ♥ It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... *singing*
I'll leave you some peaks around my home here, while I get the places clean.
Are you ready yet!? I better start hurring: we are having our 24th already on 23rd. ;-)




These lovely linen candle baggies are from Maedchenschatz.

Ich wünsche euch allen eine wunderbare Zeit, hoffenrtlich im Kreise eurer Lieben!

christmas home & office & pigs

Weihnachtsstimmung hier & da.
♥
Joulufiiliksiä siellä & täällä.
♥
Christmas peaks here & there.

Ich liebe den Tischläufer, den meine Mama vor vielen Jahren mir zu Weihnachten gewebt hat!
♥
Minä sitten rakastan tätä äitini kutomaa poppanaliinaa, joka on ollut meillä jo vuosikausia joululiinana!
♥
I just love the table runner my mom made for us years ago.

Das Maileg Schweinchen habe ich mir letztes Jahr in Finnland nach Weihnachten gekauft, dort vergessen und HEUTE kam Post aus Finnland mit Schweinchen ;-)
♥
Maileg possun ostin viime talvena Suomessa alennusmyynnistä ja sinnehän se jäi mummolaan, TÄNÄÄN tuli possupostia!
♥
This Maileg piglet came today - I bought in Finland last year and forgot at my parents ;-)

In Facebook kursierte vor ein paar Tagen dieses schöne Bild + Text mit Winnie the Pooh. Ich habe es mir  ausgedruckt und an die Wand gehängt.
♥
Joku päivä sitten kiersi Facebookissa tämä ihana Nalle Puh -juttu. Tulostin sen tauluksi seinälle.
♥
Some days ago there was this picture of Winnie the Pooh going around on facebook. I printed it & hang it on the wall.

... und weil aus dem Doppelpack Bilderrahmen noch einer übrig war, montierte ich eine meiner diesjährigen Weihnachtsgrüße drauf. Bitte, Verwandtschaft wegschauen!
Jouluiloa = so was wie "Weihnachstfreude"
♥
... ja kun kehysten tuplapaketista jäi toinen, laitoin siihen tämän vuotisen joulukorttini. Sukulaiset ei sitten katso tänne!
♥
... there was still one left from the twin pack of picture frames: I simply put one of my this years Christmas cards in it. Please, dear relatives, look away ;-)

♥ Christmas time ♥

♥ Wish you all a happy time doing secrets things!
