isn’t the smell of lilac the most wonderful thing in spring? i know some people dislike it but i just can’t get enough!

lili and i went on a walk through st.marx cemetery on sunday, enjoyed the sunlight and the fresh lilac blossoms all over the place. it might sound strange to take a walk on a cemetery, but this one is open to the public. it’s closed for new funerals and you can take a look at really beautifully carved gravestones. there are little meadows where the most beautiful flowers bloom and you can just walk around on little alleys.

the light was more than right and i took some pictures. see more on flickr.
… i think lilac would be a pretty nice name for a boy. i don’t know why. ok maybe a cats name.!?

love to julia questionmark, for beeing majorly awesome and a phoenix. xo

did you take a look at the we love handmade mag #2 already? if you didn’t you don’t know my little clay project. these succulents have a pretty new home at my place… how pan helped me to make those little clay pots and how you could make them yourself you can find out in the magazine on page  53

this is not only a great project for a wedding but for anyone else as well. i really like to work with clay, it’s so easy to make little things and you don’t have to burn in the oven. do you use clay? what else can be made out of it? any ideas?

this weekend my flat filled itself with flowers…

i needed them for a photo shooting but couldn’t decide which ones would look the best. so now there are way to manny here, i hope they’ll survive. at least some days. the “problem” was, that because of the absence of green-life in this household i don’t own a lot of flowerpots, so i planted these sweet little bellflowers into my grandmothers old china. don’t they look super sweet? this would look cute as a weddingtablecenterpice. anyone getting married and wants my decorating tips :) ?

v day lies ahead and guess how’s spending his on the other side of the world… yes the boy. ;) nice move mister. anyways i made these arrows for my friends because this day is also for your dearest friends (don’t forget about that). if you don’t want to give them away, they look very pretty in a vase to.

all you need is some golden spray paint, white acrylic paint, sticks, a pencil sharpener, paper and a pen oh and twice as many feathers as sticks.

here is how you do it:

now if you’d like your arrows to have a pointy tip you can use a pencil-sharpener to get them this way. paint the tips white and let them dry again.

cut off the thinner part of the feathers and be sure to always have a left and a right feather for your arrow. spray paint each side of the feather gold. let them dry properly! glue the feathers to the ends of your arrows. be careful, this is the most tricky part of the quest.

if you get past this you’re nearly done. just cut the paper in stripes and write down your secret valentine massage. bind the paper to the arrow and shoot it over to your loved one. i hope mine can fly to new zealand! :*

hey there. one more day and february will be here. i don’t know if i like this so much… someone special won’t be here the whole month and i really don’t like the idea of that. on the other hand i have so much to do the whole month will pass on quick enough anyways!

here’s the new wallpaper for february. if you’d like to download it, hop on over to we love handmade!

hey there, yes i’m still here. just super busy! but i asked for the whole studying thing so it’s alright ;) i made this tiny messenger board out of a wooden kitchen cutting board and some chalkboard paint. super easy and super quick. i could paint everything in chalkboard paint!

( i just wrote a really nice post but somehow it’s gone :(… )

If you read this blog carefully you know i’m not a tea but a coffee kind of girl. I don’t keep it a secret that i love coffee and that i’m probably even addicted to it ;) but sometimes a cup of tea is nice. long winter evenings with mr. pan can be quite cuddly but a cup of tea can make it even better.

When i moved into my flat i got this pretty white tea pot… it’s cute but we all know how good i am with handling colourless objects… right i don’t really do just white. so while i’ve been studying for the last couple of days every study break i added some dots to the tea pot. it’s actually really easy. just some porcelain paint, a tooth pick and some patience… end here we are. what do you think?

miss juliaquestionmark wanted to do some pappmaché weeks ago. since i always wanted to make a pappermarché lantern i thought i’d join her. this process is super easy but it takes some ime to dry. that’s why i only have two now… and they are bigger than i wanted them to be. so now they are my new jewelery bowls. i painted the outside with withe acryl and the inner pappmaché with gold paint. super easy and very elegant at the same time. maybe i’ll find some more time to make tinyer ones for a fairy light… we’ll see.

a little adventure…

is all i need sometimes to clear my head. life is insanely busy at the moment with university and a huge project going on, there is hardly time for anything else. every time i have to concentrate though something happens… like a conversation i didn’t expect, which keeps my head occupied. well…focus!

next weekend i want to go out into the woods or some other nice place and just be there. no work just me and my adventure. i hope i can make it.
