time for iceream!

it’s super hot here in vienna and i’m having a day off. yesterday i had some minutes left and made these mango posicles. just mix one mango and half a cup of yoguhrt, freeeze and enjoy!

this weekend was filled with sunshine, girls and fun
my little cousin came from salzburg and we enjoyed the sunlight.

saturday started with the backyard sale at pratersaune with these ladies

jules & tesi

we walked through vienna, shopped and took a look at this city from above

somehow i always manage to make blurry elevator pics

we actually had planned to go to the museum on sunday, but the weather was just perfect. so we decided to go for a boat ride!

happy leonie and happy hanni

before we brought leonie back to her train we made a stop at the photoautomat! a must do if you visit vienna

girls

i hope your weekend was filled with sunlight too!

on saturday anna and i held a workshop for boesner. we taught some motivated people how to make mini pinatas for the upcoming gardenparty season :) finde some more pictures and a description on how to make one of those little pinatas yourself in a few days on the we love handmade blog

h.anna aka the boss

all you need

we love to fringe

waiting for summer to come i spent an evening with my sewing machine.



i’m into maxi and midi skirts at the moment. they work with cropped shirts and blouses and make me feel like i’m in one of those pinterest pictures i tend to pin a lot.

the fabric is from ikea and i didn’t use any pattern.

actually i wanted to just bleach some stains into these blue sneakers i recently bought.

but the bleached stains didn’t come out as i wanted them to, see for yourself:

so i added some textile and acryl paint – just like here or there – and made some galaxy sneakers.

clouds are my new favorite thing since i saw “cloudy with a chance of meatballs” last year. loved it.

all you need is magnetic paint, a brush, chalkboard paint, clay, magnets and glue. oh and a wooden-board. :)

while the different layers of paint dry you can start with the raindrops. cut them out of the air dry clay, wait till they are hard and glue them to your magnets.

When the last layer of magnetic paint is dry you can ad one more layer of chalkboard paint. :) isn’t it the cutest little cloud?

not only summer arrived, the rainy days are back as well. it seems these days know exactly when to appear. at least they are good for instagram pictures…

on the bright side: i reached 700 followers on instagram yesterday :) thanks!

actually i wanted to post a diy i’m working on but when i went to the hardware store to get some things my sister wanted to take a quick look into the garden center too. there i found these little guys. aren’t they the cutest? and they might even survive ;)

i mentioned these two before. i don’t know where, when and why the idea came up but some time ago teresa wrote a medley, made out of different beyonce songs. julia and her are probably the biggest beyonce fans one can imagine. they even drove to bratislava to attend her concert :)

anyways, we decided to make a video – a tribute to queen b. for being an awesome and strong woman.

making this video brought up some discussions about self-expression, perfectionism, and how NOT to take yourself too seriously. Doing this blogthing for more than four years now, i often thought about how my live looks trough this tiny window. i do write about the bad things that happen and how stressful life seems sometimes but i just post pictures i like. only when i think i look alright and projects that made me proud enough to post. I don’t want to create a picture of a perfect life over here, these things i post are just the ones i’m most proud of. but it’s true that it might create a not so clear view of my life and myself.

of course i have this not so hidden agenda to put myself out there, to be present, to show what i can do and to get approval. but it’s not to show off… i started this to share my ideas. it grew into something bigger but the thought is still the same.

and if you take this video for instance, this is far from perfect. but exactly like someone said to me today: “it was brave to put it out there.” i didn’t take it as an insult. because it’s true. it was brave to show the small web-world we have access to, that we like queen b., that we like to do fun things together and to be proud of it. if people think this is somehow a blurred view of how life really is, they are right. but it’s alright to show these parts… it’s ok to have this urge to share things with others and let’s face it, who want’s to see the boring parts of an everyday life? it’s much more fun, to laugh together with us about our performance :)

the last time i’ve been to my grandparents place, the weather was bad and there was still snow. but today everything looked different. sunny and green. i spent some time in the woods after being a good grandchild and cleaning all the windows in the house (uhg, yes…!) a tree helped me as a tripod :)

did i say how much i like my new hair color?…

hello

do i have to say anything to these pretty fern babys?

the light was so nice

now i have to start all the uni work i didn’t do this weekend… well, at least i got out and enjoyed some sunlight! what did you do?
