The Changing Seasons – Spring Edition

First of all: I want to apologize to all of you for staying away from blogging without even announcing or explaining it for so long. I had – what I now know in hindsight – what you might call a digital burnout. All of a sudden I felt I had to pull my digital plug

The Changing Seasons – August 2019

  It’s time again for the wonderful challenge The Changing Seasons hosted by my dear friend Su from Zimmerbitch!   First of all I want to apologize for having been quite absent from blogging and for not having visited all your wonderful blogs as much as I wanted to. The reason for this is that I’m dealing with

The Bowl on the Laundry Basket

    I´m sure you will all agree with me when I say that even if we first thought that with blogging it would be all about ourselves, we learn very fast that actually it´s all about connections, friendships and learning from others. For me blogging is also very much about inspiration – both, about

Indulgence versus Restraint

    As I have often confessed here, I regularly indulge myself with baked goods or goodies how I like to call them. 😉 This month I´m happily exploring the wonderful world of scones. If you are in doubt how to pronounce scone the right way, here´s a funny little poem that illustrates how it

Luckily two of my wonderful friends here – Osyth from Half Baked in Paradise and Ann from Muddling Through My Middle Age – mentioned them in their lovely comments in my last post and so I decided to quickly sketch the pairs

Cards from Melissa

    Are you as fond of snail-mail as I am? My very dear friend Melissa over at “Inspiration in Focus” definitely is, and she had the wonderful idea to send hand-sketched cards this year to every subscriber of her blog! Just have a look at her lovely blog and the post where she writes

May Challenge – Happy Mother Goose Day

  Lately I have felt a bit low creative-wise. I know this can happen, but I don´t have to like it 😉 That´s why I´ve come up with the idea to challenge myself, to get back on the horse so to speak. Nearly every day there´s a World Day in appreciation, awareness or commemoration of
