neu // new: jingle bells

Alle Jahre wieder...diesmal gelang es mir trotz erschwerter Bedingungen (z.B. Baby auf dem Arm), halbwegs rechtzeitig an Weihnachten zu denken. Meistens fällt mir nicht viel dazu ein, aber meiner lieben Freundin Silvia und ihrer Vorliebe für Cupcakes sei Dank, kam mir dann doch noch ein Gedanke: Große Augen! Hier seht Ihr, wie er sich manifestiert hat (der Gedanke) und hier sind nun neue Weihnachtskarten und erstmals auch Geschenkpapier mit glücklichen kleinen Klingelkugeln erhältlich. Klimaneutral gedruckt auf 100% Recyclingpapier.
Danke, mein süßer Kirschkuchen, für die Inspiration!

Same procedure every year...this time I somehow managed to think about christmas early, even under these aggravated circumstances (e.g. Baby etc). Usually I can't come up with any futile thoughts, but thanks to my lovely friend Silvia and her love for cupcakes, I had an idea: Big eyes! So here you can see how the thought realized and here you find the brandnew christmas greeting cards and -first time!-  gift wrapping paper with happy jingle bells. Offset printed climate neutrally on 100% recycled paper. 
Thank you, sweet cherry pie, for the inspiration!

AMIGURUMI AFTERNOON TEA

as i am not very creative today, just illin and chillin (harhar), i like you to meet some of my best friends: here you have mr. bunny, who i recently met at www.emeraldbumblee.dawanda.com, hosting a afternoon tea party for my bukubuku allstars and the weird frog.

in case you don't know bukubuku yet, here's a little story to tell: two winters ago i have met a little spanish girl with the most beautiful fawn-like eyes in my seasonal shop at the christmas market, near my studio. she came with all her amigurumi friends, sweet little brooches and whatnot and i was totally AMAZED how much love for the detail and respect for the material she gave to her handmade little treasures. i had so far never seen something like this before and so she totally got me addicted to cute stuff and, of course, her lovely work. the way she packs and wraps and treats her things are in a very japanese way . the wrapping is as worthy as its content. everything is just puuuurrrfect!! i fell in love with her ever since...
so, on this pic she has made the little pear bear and miss pinky fuzz, as well as the little chicken in his nest. she also got me into this blog thing and i thank her for that! please meet her at:

concerning the weird frog: my friend ute gave him to me. i guess he was crocheted by an old german lady at a charity basar, way before the word amigurumi was spread. but, yeah, the other crochet chreatures have accepted him for one of them. party on, guys!!
