You can feel that the season is changing and that Spring is coming along here that time is going by...
A new month also means to me that I am allowed to fill up again my personal calendar.
Before I left Hamburg I got a box from my friends with twelve envelopes, each filled with pictures. On the first day of a new month I can open one of these envelopes and find an image for every week of this month. I love this calendar and I unpacked already a few images which I totally forgot about. They make me smile so much and miss my friends ....
Today was also the first day I used my new/old sewing machine for the first time.
It is a second-hand one in such great condition and I am so happy about it as I couldn't bring mine with me. I was already fabric shopping and got some nice leftovers of which I am planning to sew a few nice things which I have in my head since a while : )
Today I sort of made friends with the sewing machine, read the manual and got used to the new handling. It has so many great programs, I can't wait to use it properly..I sewed this little envelopes for my grandparents which I will bring on its big journey tomorrow.
Here is a nice song liiiiiisten (Villagers - Becoming A Jackal)

Die Nähmaschine sieht super aus! Es geht ja nichts über Bernina, meine ist leider schon ein etwas älteres Modell.

oh wow, your photos are amazing. They make me a little sad though. All the things I miss about Sydney. what camera do you use? Btw, I have those same Camper shoes. Dont wear them in the rain! I did that last week in stockholm and the colour has never been the same again :( i wish i bought the yellow ones as well. have a great weekend! x
hello..... and welcome.... it is so lovely to see Sydney through new eyes..... I am a Sydneysider and a new blogger .... blogging all the way from bondi..... I am waiting for new visitors..... you must have the ginger brules from The Bourke Street Bakery in Surry Hills... if you haven't already...x
oh that's for sure so cute!!
what a beautiful stack of fabric! I love the stitch you chose to use on what looks like an envelope out of a paper bag? I've been experimenting with those but hadn't considered a fun stitch yet....ill have to give it a go.

Liebe Maria, das is ne schrecklich goldige Idee, mit den Umschlägchen. Ich krieg mich gar nicht mehr ein!
Und: Umschläge zunähen finde ich auch ganz toll. Ich bekam kürzlich einen solchen Brief und hab seitdem auf'm Zettel stehen, es selbst auszuprobieren. Sag mal: muss man da etwas beachten?
Merci, liebste Maria! Ich probiere es aus und berichte. Versprochen. Gute Nacht dir schon mal. Auf bald.
Thank you all for your wonderful comments.
I hope you are all well and have a great start into the new season : )
Take care
Maria
way to go miss. this pillow is so wonderful. :)
