hello-oo-ooo

we have plenty of good food, a private hitchcock retrospective,  parties, presents and a new electronic device in the house for the kid

and

I am thinking about my new year resolutions, this year I want to make some, some things should be changed and I don't want to forget about it!

an autumn week of

renovating, cooking vegetarian dishes, family & finally again

real life

plans for a turquoise wall, another de-wood-chipped wall, alterations in the kitchen, getting rid of all things useless & too ugly...

and hopefully weaving

back home

renovating too

another farewell to a part of her childhood

all the books we have read, she has read, they have read together

my bookworm

it has been a long break here

making costumes for a movie set in the summer of Berlin 1945, overtook my live after returning from greece.

here is a new start with some pictures from today, trying to pretend it's still summer in the cold of late september in poland and being in Berlin, 1945.

I am very much looking forward to the autumn, following the end of filming in mid october.
