DIY: Pencil Holder

Another easy decorative idea.  I like do it yourself stuff which is done in some minutes and right after the idea came into my mind. And I like practical stuff.

The only things you need are an empty, cleaned jam jar which is big enough for pens and pencils, a decorative paper and a old present bow. Oh and a scissor to cut it in the right size. No glue, no expensive stuff, just the things you can find. Et voilá!

Like so many cranes...

The Wall: As Fall Goes By

Balcony Tomatoes

I never ever want to live in a city again without having a balcony (or a garden!). This spring I spend a lot of time digging in soil. Planting flowers. Sowing seeds. Waiting. Being patient. Watering. I loved it! Spending time on the balcony felt like holiday. I also really like the idea of being able to plant your own vegetables. 
So one project were the tomatoes. We had seeds but the plant did grew really slow at first. But then I spend some weeks somewhere else and when I came back it was really high. Still there were no blossoms on the plant... So we were waiting again. Did fight against plant louses. And then there were blossom and suddenly small green balls, yeah, tomatoes! But as it was late in summer already, there was less sun every day... So we did harvest them green. Put them on the window sill with an apple. Nothing happened for a while, until I read that. So I did put the tomatoes in a box, wrapped them in newspaper and put them unter a shelf. And some days later I check and it worked!

Wide Sky and Kites

I am late with the autumn posts, so here are a bunch of them..!
Not posting meant there was a lot of things happening or I was lazy, somehow it was both... That seems positive as I was not distracting myself too much... which doesn't mean I was focused either... Well.
I haven't been flying kites since years!! So that was my special wish for my birthday in October. There is this old airport area in the middle of Berlin where you meet many more kites and people enjoying the wide area in the middle of the city.
