small steps

still have to keep it small with renovation and change.

instead piles of papers with countless numbers should be found, organized in columns, added and squeezed into a certain big number to finally finish that monster of a job i did!

i am dreaming about making things like above way bigger and there are some good news too, i am on the short list for the teaching job i've been applying for last year.
now waiting for the final decision gets a little bit easier, maybe.

i like this piece of art. it's called "better days" and the stains are embroidered.

inside

finally back home, we have plans for some renovation in the apartment.
i wish i could do everything by myself, like in a dollhouse, pictures from here.

playing

we had time to sort out this beautiful old memory-game i discovered recently, not all pairs still complete.

and thats how Lou's room looked like after shifts of different weekend visitors stopped over since friday.



i am now off for my last working week in hamburg, already very impatient to be back home and free!

poncho

hard to catch her, but i am really proud to have finished a handknitted garment myself. a perfect collaboration, she made a drawing and chose the colors. we are both very happy with it!

have a good weekend!

beautiful back

my friends son in a cardigan Lou grew out of.

his wooden pinocchio in a sweater his mother found at a fleamarket.

now i am going to finish what i have been knitting during the evenings i spent far away from home.

an adventurous week with my girl, at work in hamburg.
despite the poor girl getting sick, me still recovering, a lot of work and mostly bad weather we enjoyed most of it.

good friends, a huge garden with two donkeys for a while, her first ride en galoppe, cinema, a night in a hotel, a surprisingly beautiful museum, my costume department supporting me every day and my very patient daughter made it a good week.

neon

this sweater combines different shades of neon with beige, found at a fleamarket, handmade for a grandchild that grew out, Lou never likes to be photographed, but today i caught her.



she chose this heavy yarn in the wool shop, starting her first real crocheting, we made a mice out of it and a second one for her cousin too, he called it cheesenumber.
