at Lou's school, the three of us like going there, everyday.
sometimes in the morning i wish i could stay in the classroom with them.
they put so much effort and enthusiasm in everything they do with the kids.

this boy with his slightly puffed sleeves caught my attention. why are girls clothes on boys irritating, or like in this case for me so appealing?

weaving

inspired by some second hand books about handwoven carpets and R.'s superbeautiful and impressive post, found both at the same day, i discovered weaving and can't stop testing, reading, drawing and playing around.
i ordered some special tools and am dreaming about a big loom to be able to make carpet-size fabrics
so maybe, i finally found my crafting destination...
so much to try out now!

from last weekend's trip to the baltic sea, i just can't get enough of that red and blond heads in the green meadow...



...and i am in a very good mood right now because i finally made some small tests tonight, more about that soon.

and i am very honored that this sweet young men who travelled with us considers to marry me (and L.), later...

then

i found that picture last weekend. i remember exactly the colors of the flowerpattern on the dress our grandmother made for me and my sister D, the blue of the hexagonal table our father made and how often i have been sitting there at my favourite place near the window.

i still have the same hairstyle and am very much looking forward to do the next weeks what i was doing then. making things out of fabric and eating chocolate.

after tomorrow we are going to have a long weekend break at the baltic sea and then i will be finally back to real life.

light green leafs

was the currency for the shop, set up this afternoon on a very small playground near school. they sold tidbits and vegetables from turkey and italy.
incidental encounters lead into a special afternoon, as if summer has started and i am finally feeling way lighter...

at home

we made some attempts to choose and frame some art and pictures for this wall. since we moved in seven years ago we have been repeatedly talking about hanging some art. but as we live surrounded by stealconcrete walls and for every nail or screw an impactdrill is demanded, it never really happened.
let's see how it will end up this time, but rediscovering our treasures made us want to succeed this time.


and a new/old shelve for lou's room.
