Yellow Dress and …

 

 

Simple A line dress.

The fabric is yellow gauze which is very light and comfortable.

The length is a bit short for my usual style but I feel like wearing a short skirt in this summer!

 

 

 

Accessorized with a yellow clutch by YUKULI

and yellow beads bracelet which I made ages ago.

 

Is it too matchy matchy!?

My Neighborhood!!!

My favorit place, ‘Engelbecken’, has become greener!

It is a Pond with a few turtles living inside and Cafe next to it.

It’s very nice and relaxing.

↓This photo was taken in February.

ohhhh, it looks so cold and dark. I don’t want to go back there.

Whole pond was frozen and people could walk on it or even ice skate!

 

Ummm, I can see the construction site on the back hasn’t processed much…

Planting weekend

 

I planted some flowers and plants on my Balcony last weekend.

 

 

It looks good now and I’m happy I accomplished this task!

Next day, I got really sore lower back.

It was very painful and hard to get out of my bed…

So I skipped Jogging which I was planning to do on the day (I’ve decided to jog once a week!),  and I did some Yoga instead.

This routine worked really well! I was amazed!

I totally recommend it when you have some Lower back pain like me!

Kill two birds with one stone 

I bought these fabrics on sale at Karstadt (it’s a Department store in Germany) the other day. They always have a big area of sale of fabrics. So I like to go there to find something nice on sale!!

 

It’s a summer dress.

 

 

You can wear it inside out :-D  White gauze on this side.

 

 

The pattern is from Burda style magazine 3/2012.

This is the dress what it shows in the magazine which is more elegant with some kind of Tulle. It’s very cute.

It’s made of gorgeous vintage silk obi (Sash for kimono).

Please check it out!!

A Fabric Market from Holland!

 

I went to a Fabric Market called  ’Stoffmarkt Holland’ in Wiesbaden.

 

 

There are about 140 booths in front of a beautiful church.

 You can see more pictures here!  → Stoffmarkt Holland

I really liked this Market. There are a lot of fabrics and supplies which I don’t usually see much in Berlin.

This Market is going all over Germany.

Here is the Schedule if you are interested!


I’d definitely go there again!

I bought some products for Ironing the other day.

 

This is a padding for Ironing table  ↓

 

My Ironing table had a very thin padding. It feels like metal.

And now I’m very happy with this new thick padding. It’s 5mm thick condensed.

 I can iron very smooth and quick!

 

This is a cleaner for iron surface ↓

 

It’s like a glue stick. Instead of glue, it’s some cleaning substances.

I haven’t tried it yet, though!

 

I’m writing it because I didn’t know that there are such a things existing until I saw them accidentally at a shop. Well… I should have thought about it. But I didn’t! Anyway, I hope this information helps some of you who has same problem like I had!!
