			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>hier so rumsitzend habe ich neulich meine 3 kleinen vasen dazu verdonnert, ein bisschen stylischer zu sein. weiß ist keine option mehr in unserem haushalt. farbe muss her und wenns nur ein bisschen ist. <span style="color: #888888;">since i&#8217;m not really doing anything these days i&#8217;ve painted 3 little white vases to add a hint of color to our home.</span></p>
<p>im baumarkt gabs diese 3 entzückenden tuben acryl farbe in den farben mint, cyan und türkis. <span style="color: #888888;">at home depot i&#8217;ve bought 3 tubes of acrylic paint. mint, cyan and turquoise.</span></p>
<p><a title="neon vases by happy_serendipity, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/happy_serendipity/7208747542/"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8005/7208747542_d804dcc0b5.jpg" alt="neon vases" width="500" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>mit einem stück washi tape habe ich die vasen abgeklebt. <span style="color: #888888;">made a mark with washi tape.</span></p>
<p><a title="neon vases by happy_serendipity, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/happy_serendipity/7208746718/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7240/7208746718_8462e2561a.jpg" alt="neon vases" width="500" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>angemalt. <span style="color: #888888;">painted them.</span></p>
<p><a title="neon vases by happy_serendipity, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/happy_serendipity/7208745754/"><img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5196/7208745754_38e6d97ef8.jpg" alt="neon vases" width="500" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>trocknen lassen und mit bunten blumen gefüllt. <span style="color: #888888;">let it dry and filled up with lovely roses.</span></p>
<p><a title="neon vases by happy_serendipity, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/happy_serendipity/7208744880/"><img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5330/7208744880_b63907144b.jpg" alt="neon vases" width="500" height="500" /></a></p>
<p><a title="neon vases by happy_serendipity, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/happy_serendipity/7208744502/"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7232/7208744502_79cca90a0e.jpg" alt="neon vases" width="500" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>auch wenns nur ein kleiner farbtupfer ist, aber im trio sehen die väschen ganz schick aus. außerdem war die aktion ziemlich kostengünstig. die vasen sind von ikea (1,50 € das stück wenn ich mich recht erinnere) und die farbe war 2 € das stück und hält noch 10 jahre.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">a very low budget project. the vases came from ikea and were 1,50 € a piece and the paint was 2 € a tube but will last another 10 years. i love how the trio looks together!</span></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">may 2 &#8211; i had a breakdown at the office due to being totally stressed out and need some serious rest. i&#8217;m an official burn-out patient now. and i hate it.</p>
<p><a title="may 3, 2012 by happy_serendipity, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/happy_serendipity/7163629690/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8016/7163629690_c2cc473c08_n.jpg" alt="may 3, 2012" width="320" height="320" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">may 3 &#8211; the couch is my new place to be. i can&#8217;t do anything else but sit still.</p>
<p><a title="may 4, 2012 by happy_serendipity, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/happy_serendipity/7163630178/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5240/7163630178_4fc35e7768_n.jpg" alt="may 4, 2012" width="320" height="320" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">may 4 &#8211; sometimes i look out the window. the weather looks like my mood.</p>
<p><a title="may 5, 2012 by happy_serendipity, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/happy_serendipity/7163630618/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7213/7163630618_3a5c3a21c0_n.jpg" alt="may 5, 2012" width="320" height="320" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">may 5 &#8211; we had good friends over. enjoyed that a lot and the mood changed into something more positive.</p>
<p><a title="may 6, 2012 by happy_serendipity, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/happy_serendipity/7163627100/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5080/7163627100_c3d92af1db_n.jpg" alt="may 6, 2012" width="320" height="320" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">may 6 &#8211; my appetite came back. 3 eggs on toast.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">may 7 &#8211; my sweet, sweet martin made me dessert. he&#8217;s not leaving my side these days.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">yes that&#8217;s basically what&#8217;s happened and i&#8217;m still in this condition. not leaving the house much, can&#8217;t really motivate myself doing anything, my blood pressure is so low i&#8217;m constantly exhausted and i wonder how long it will take until i feel normal again. all this feels so weird and i&#8217;ve never felt more helpless in my life. never thought that too much stress could cause all this. did you ever experienced this? what did you do?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>letztens im bastelladen meines vertrauens stieß ich auf fimo und stellte überraschend fest, dass die farbpalette sich seit den frühen 90er jahren (als ich das zeug das letzte mal in der hand hatte) um ungefähr 839 farben erweitert hat. und da habe ich dann mal 2 päckchen gekauft und hübsche kühlschrank magnete draus gezaubert. das war an sich ganz einfach:</p>
<p>ich hatte 2 farben fimo, kleine power magnete von ebay und ein skalpell.</p>
<p><a title="magnet rocks by happy_serendipity, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/happy_serendipity/7163545056/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5151/7163545056_94f68e98c9.jpg" alt="magnet rocks" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>aus dem fimo hab ich ungefähr gleich große knubbel geknetet</p>
<p><a title="magnet rocks by happy_serendipity, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/happy_serendipity/7163546568/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8148/7163546568_89f3d1e012.jpg" alt="magnet rocks" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>und anschließend eine kule für die magneten reingedrückt.</p>
<p><a title="magnet rocks by happy_serendipity, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/happy_serendipity/7163548524/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7215/7163548524_ce36efecd0.jpg" alt="magnet rocks" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>nach packungsanweisung 30 minuten im ofen gebacken und noch im relativ heißen zustand angeschnitten, so dass kleine geometrische &#8220;steine&#8221; entstanden ist. es entsteht ein wenig abfall, das ist allerdings nicht zu vermeiden, denn fimo lässt sich in ungebackenen zustand wirklich nur sehr bescheiden sauber schneiden.</p>
<p><a title="magnet rocks by happy_serendipity, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/happy_serendipity/7171661886/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7086/7171661886_8b0314939a.jpg" alt="magnet rocks" width="500" height="391" /></a></p>
<p>dann habe ich mit kraftkleber jeweils einen magnet in die kule geklebt und zack&#8230;</p>
<p><a title="magnet rocks by happy_serendipity, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/happy_serendipity/7163553348/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5468/7163553348_fdfe9f128f.jpg" alt="magnet rocks" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p><a title="magnet rocks by happy_serendipity, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/happy_serendipity/7163555046/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7215/7163555046_8f6d786d80.jpg" alt="magnet rocks" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>feddisch. 24 stunden trocknen lassen und dann konnte ich damit die wichtigsten infos am kühlschrank fest pinnen. :-)</p>
<p><a title="magnet rocks by happy_serendipity, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/happy_serendipity/7163557476/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8150/7163557476_a20ab37292.jpg" alt="magnet rocks" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">some time ago i&#8217;ve found some fimo at the craft store and was happy about all the colors they had. when i used fimo the last time (in the early 90s) they only had 4 colors which wasn&#8217;t very exciting. so i bought 2 packs and made some magnets for our fridge with it.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">i rolled some equal knobs and made a mold for the magnets. after that they were baked in the oven and while they were still warm i&#8217;ve cut them into faceted beads. there is some waste of fimo but you cannot avoid that, since you can&#8217;t really cut fimo decently when it&#8217;s soft.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">with a power glued i attached the magnets and after a rest of 24 hours i had beautiful little magnets to keep our fridge nicely decorated. </span></p>

<p>das thema bei der ersten runde tauschen war SCHOKOLADE und von mir bekam die liebe <a title="cherry pink purple" href="http://cherrypinkpurple.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">susanne</a> eine runde snickers-schoko-kekse, die so groß wie wagenräder waren (ich bin ungeübt im kekse backen, entsprechend klein ist die erfahrung mit ausdehnungsprozessen von teig im heißen ofen&#8230;) aber das ist ja an sich nicht schlimm. da hat man mehr vom keks.</p>

<p>150 g zartbitter schokolade -&gt; im wasserbad schmelzen</p>
<p>200 g snickers -&gt; grob hacken</p>
<p>125 g weiche butter + 175 g zucker + 1 ei + 1 pack vanillezucker + eine prise salz -&gt; schaumig schlagen</p>
<p>200 g mehl + 1 tl backpulver + 1 el kakao -&gt; mischen</p>
<p>-&gt; die geschmolzene schokolade mit der butter/zucker mischung verrühren, mehl-mischung und snickers-mischung dazugeben.</p>
<p>ein bisschen snickers aufheben. den teig mit einem esslöffel auf dem backblech verteilen und jedes häufchen ein bisschen flach quetschen. die häufchen dürfen ruhig etwas keiner ausfallen, denn der teig dehnt sich wirklich doll aus. bei 170 grad nur 10 minuten backen. fertig. lecker!!</p>
<p>von susanne habe ich ganz großartige <a title="bounty kugeln" href="http://cherrypinkpurple.wordpress.com/2012/04/23/post-aus-meiner-kuche-fur-lou/" target="_blank">bounty kugeln</a> bekommen. davon esse ich momentan jeden tag eine. ganz himmlisch sind die.</p>
<p>ich bin gespannt, was das thema bei der nächsten tauschrunde ist und freue mich schon drauf.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>here in germany a bunch of bloggers and people who love to bake and cook have an initiative named &#8220;<a title="post aus meiner küche" href="http://postausmeinerkueche.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">mail from my kitchen</a>&#8220;. we get a random exchange partner and we send each other home-made baked goodies. this happened for the first time now and for my blogger friend <a title="cherry pink purple" href="http://cherrypinkpurple.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">susanne</a> i&#8217;ve baked snickers-chocolate cookies that turned out huge (and delicious).</p>
<p>i melted 150 g dark chocolate, chopped 200 g of snickers, mixed 125 g of soft butter, 175 g sugar, one egg, 1 pack of vanilla sugar and a bit of salt and added it to the chocolate. then added 200 g of flour, 1 small spoon of baking powder and a spoon of cocoa.</p>
<p>with a big spoon i put small amounts of dough onto the baking tray and baked for 10 minutes at 170°C. they were super!!</p>
<p>i&#8217;m looking forward to the next round and will eat <a title="bounty kugeln" href="http://cherrypinkpurple.wordpress.com/2012/04/23/post-aus-meiner-kuche-fur-lou/" target="_blank">susanne&#8217;s bounty cand</a>y  in the meantime.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>before the weekend starts let me show you some tutorials that i&#8217;ve recently found. a pretty owl lamp (in front of the amy butler wallpaper it looks awesome), totes with nice prints and a friendship-bracelet chevron rug. i hope i will find some time to diy something myself this weekend. i actually plan to sew, sew, sew and stock up the shops. what are your plans this weekend?</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>bevor wir ins wochenende stürzen wollte ich euch noch ein paar basteleien zeigen, die ich kürzlich im web fand. eine tolle eulen lampe (die tapete ist auch der kracher, oder?), selbst bemalte jute beutel und ein teppich à la freundschaftsbändchen. fast zu schade um sich an ihm die füße abzutreten. ich hoffe, ein bisschen zeit am wochenende zu finden, etwas zu basteln. eigentlich plane ich ja viel zu nähen und die shops mal aufzustocken. was habt ihr denn schönes vor? soll ja warm werden! </strong></span></p>

<p>you might have seen the major change here on the blog and i can&#8217;t tell how grateful i am i had such a fantastic collaboration with <a title="tabitha emma" href="http://tabithaemma.com/" target="_blank">tabitha emma</a>. since my previous experience with the designer was a total disaster my wish was huge to get rid of this design and start from scratch. <a title="puglypixel" href="http://www.puglypixel.com/" target="_blank">katrina</a> has a super list of <a title="list of blog designers" href="http://www.puglypixel.com/blog-design-directory/" target="_blank">web designers</a> which i went through patiently to see what kind of services everyone offered. there i found tabitha and knew she was the one who i could trust. when i clicked through her previous works i found all kinds of styles and i loved them all.</p>
<p>after she agreed on working together with me it took me long to decide for myself what i really wanted. 4 weeks after the journey began and since i wasn&#8217;t in a hurry i took my time to think about every single step thouroughly. she was very patient and did a fantastic job. the first layout was perfect and we only did some minor changes.</p>
<p>throughout the whole project she was very kind and quick in returning my emails and i&#8217;m so glad i chose her. if you need a blog design or an illustration i highly recommend to work with tabitha. she&#8217;s an angel.</p>
<p>please stop by her <a title="tabitha emma" href="http://tabithaemma.com/" target="_blank">website</a> to see all the gorgeous blogs she&#8217;d done, read her <a title="tabitha emma blog" href="http://tabithaemma.com/blog/" target="_blank">blog</a> and take a look at her <a title="tabitha emma etsy shop" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/tabithaemma" target="_blank">shop</a>. her style is exquisite!</p>
<p>thank you tabitha! you rock!</p>
