Birthday :)

Hiho,

first of all I'm really sorry for the lack of posts recently. I somehow got a little behind schedule with a lot of things and goals I have. Since today is my birthday I don't want to list all the stuff I didn't finish or the aspects that didn't turn out the way I wanted them etc. I started today with a great breakfast and enjoyed the day. Unfortunately my exams are coming up soon so I also "enjoyed" wonderful textbooks about analysis of variance and other lovely topics which still have to find a nice and comfortable place in my brain. I feel I'm getting closer to achieve that. Now I'll take a break and play around with my gifts ;). 


See U.

Sun*

About being home

It's been a while since I wrote something. Well it's summer thus I'm enjoying the sun and of course the great weather. Due to the series of birthdays  I also cannot show you most pictures of the creative projects I'm working on but soon (in September) everything will be back to normal :).

We had been in Sweden but we came back on Sunday. Until today we yet have things to unpack from the trip. The time we spent in Sweden was as usually very realxing and inspiring. We successfully made a canoe trip and unsuccessfully fished :). I'll write more about that soon.
I started to knit a summer sweater and I'm nearly done with that.

I hope you are enjoying your summertime as well.
Take care.

Yummy Part 2 ;)

Last year I planted some new strawberry plants and this year I'm blessed with lots of big strawberries. Tomorrow we will have semolina pudding with strawberries but there are manny left for other cooking adventures.

To adapt the blog to the upcoming summer season I changed the theme a bit. A big big thank you goes to the developers of the blog software. They did an amazing job! Changing themes is much easier now and it looks great. :)

Take care and enjoy the sun!

Reset

It's good to reset your mindset once in a while. I encountered the fact that one of the few constants in my life is in deed change. Whether it is the fact that your workout schedule does not guarantee the promised results, a new thesis to be considered, or a close person reacting odd, suchlike events always make me think.

So that's what I did for the past days: thinking. I'm sorry for not posting anything but I didn't want to share unfinished thoughts that are not balanced at all. I am investing my spare time in the following parts at the moment:

• the art of diplomacy, or in other words everything that has to do with public speaking, how to give feedback etc.
• my garden. It is instant gratification and the idea to pull out the wild blackberry plants including their roots might actually work
• psychology and related topics
• running, today I ran the longest track ever (from the garbage cans to Jesus ;), don't ask I have to take pictures for an explanation)

Enjoy the nice weather and as soon as I finished the thinking part I might post some creative stuff again.

Cheers Me.

A coffee-girl's bag

This weekend was somehow odd. On the one hand it was relaxing and cool and one the other hand I feel like someone stole time from me.
We visited my sister to catch my mother's products which we will return to her next weekend. The time I spent at my sisters house was great. The kids are lovely and everything is mostly uncomplicated. On our way home I had some "swedish moments". We didn't use the highway so I had plenty of time to watch the scenery. The canola is blossoming at the moment, plainly beautiful.  Hmm, I miss Sweden....
Maybe I will be there soon.
I will be on a business trip during the upcoming week so I finished up some tasks that had been open. One of them was the coffee-girls bag made out of coffee packages and some velvet.

I really like how it turned out also it's a bit bigger than planed but you know a women's handbag cannot be big enough.

I'll probably be gone for some days, so take care. I'll post as soon as I'm back from the trip.
Greetings Me.

I went shoe shopping...

... and for the first time in my life I loved it. I never liked shoe shopping. A colleague once said that I'm the only woman he knows who left the biggest shoe shop in town without having spent a cent.

Today was different, I had a target, I found it, bought it, and here are the shoes I am in love with:

I wanted to have black ones but they were sold out. So I considered all possible options:

• black and pink
• black and grey
• corral and gold
• plain white
• purple white
• blue white

and ended up with blue white. :)

If shopping shoes always creates this magnificent feeling in all the other women I really do understand why some have more shoes than clothes.

Greetings Me.
