(Photography Project 365 – Day 72)
My crochet floor cushion extravaganza (aka Project Pouf) is progressing merrily. I am still trying to find the color and stitch combinations that make me happiest…
Fun fact: I started the third version of the pouf today. And chocolate is my best friend right now, I need to admit :).
Wishing you a good day!
Love,
Petra

(Photography Project 365 – Day 71)
They are saying we should expect snow here in the heart of Europe by the end of this week.
To protect my sanity, I am taking serious precautions of very cheerful kind. Building colorful shields here and there might help, I hope…
Wishing you a pretty day!
Love,
Petra

My Grand Monday Escape

(Day 70/365)
I escaped all my duties today… and it felt amazing!
Early in the morning, me and a good friend of mine got on a train and set off on an impromptu trip to a nearby town.
Once we got there, we filled our time with a nice walk under a smiling early-spring sun and a visit to a cafe to enjoy a lovely cup of steaming coffee and a slice of delicious cake.

What a special, unique and sweet day this has been. It feels really refreshing to shake up the routine sometimes.

I think it’s amazing how so few simple ingredients can together create a taste so divine.
Bruschetta with tomatoes and basil is just the perfect example of that.
After making these lovely bites today I am sure I am making more soon.
They are truly delicious! DELICIOUS!!
