Über Tyrannen und wie sie entstehen...

Ich habe endlich mal wieder ein Buch fertig gelesen. Und zwar eins, dass ich schon seit gefühlte Ewigkeiten mal lesen und mal nicht lesen wollte. Es ist schon ungewöhnlich einen Buch so ambivalent gegenüber zu stehen, dass man noch nie in der Hand hatte. Aber als dieses Buch publiziert wurde, ging es mit so viel Medienpräsenz einher, dass man schon den Eindruck hatte, man kenne die Kernthemen bereits. Das Buch, um den es hier geht, ist diese hier: Warum...

Trotz die gerade herrschenden Temperaturen ...

... habe ich unendlich viele Fleecereste die weg sollen/müssen. Da war es mir auch gestern schnuppe, dass für heute zum Glück wieder Frühlingswetter angesagt war und habe mich endlich an den Poncho und Mütze für Little Miss Madam rangesetzt. Es ist wieder ein No Sew Poncho geworden, nur die Größe der Fleeceteile habe ich halbiert, die ausgeschnitte...

Blog Language is changing ... Blog Sprache wird Verändert

I love writing in english, it's my 'mother-tongue', I went to british schools, it's the language I am trying to teach my kids - English Is Home. However, I have been viewing the blog statistics the last few months. Even though there are a lot of clicks from people in english speaking countries, the most amount of clicks are currently coming from Germany (hah, never imagined that, eh? No followers, but enough readers apparently ;-)). That's why I...

Even Music Notes Need a Home...

Until yesterday, the music notes of Son #2 'lived' in a simple tote bag that was given to me by some chemists down town. Yesterday we discovered that the bag had a huuuuuuge hole. So it was time to move house ;-) First I thought of making a simple tote bag, just like the one he had before. But then, thinking about how Son #2 dragged his bag around...

Denim Bootees

Hah - this blog is '1'today and I even managed to make something new that can be posted! Yesterday/today I tried out another one of Klimperklein's sewing patterns (see the first one I tried out) meaning that now I only have two to have a go at. The pattern I tried out was to create some Baby Bootees. Again the pattern was delivered as an eBook...

Off Topic - Aren't I Brave?

As an early birthday present for my blogs, I've now included a photo into my blogger profile *winkwinknudgenudge* But it looks a bit more nicer than just having the standard logo entered in there. Anyhow, this blog is turning one tomorrow! I still remember how nervous I felt upon writing my first blog entry. Even if I am only writing for myself at the moment, maybe the time will come where I promote the posts a tiny bit more. I started...

Mobile Cover with 'Lift Function'

In February I made Son #1 a media player lift cover, inspired by the tutorial from Jule (see this post for more info and the link to the tutorial). Husband's birthday is nearing fast and he has wished for a new smartphone, which I bought today. The covers that were on offer for his new phone were, well, not that nice and I decided, along with Son...

Easter Time Again

This Easter we had no long visiting list to tick off as we went. Mother-in-law invited to Easter Dinner and in the evening we dropped by my grandparents. Today we were also invited to dinner by friends. As Mother-in-law asked for me to bring a trifle dessert and nothing else, no Easter Lamb was required there. But I baked one for my grandparents...
