Head in the clouds...

For weeks and weeks, I have been wanting to do a little DIY, just something to keep me busy and make me smile, and I also wanted to buy a cushion that was shaped like a cloud... so last Friday I decided to home-make a cloud-shaped cushion!

and here it is :)

I am so so pleased with it, with its beautiful long eyelashes and its spotty back! I also made one of my brother and one for my sister but I still want to make a whole family just for me... so watch this space ;-)

I must admit it's really easy to make, here's how (in french though sorry, but there are pictures which describe it well)

Travel of the mind #1

So I went to Berlin...

What I liked most? the little Ampelmanns of course... because they are witness and actors to so much history but also summarise the quirky side of the city very well.

And I went to Copenhagen... and I never wanted to leave again. Even the plugs are happy there :)

Have you been before?


PS: it's ironic that I have so much to show and share at the moment, so many images but I am working on a new much better blogging platform and I feel a shame to share it all with you now when Blogger sadly would not do it justice... so I'm afraid to say that you'll have to be patient for now!

Food food food!

It is one of the truth of life that France is full of delicious foods. And coming back to it for longer than a short holiday will at last enable to me to re-acquiant myself with all things yummy!

 I am sure that before long there will be a complete library of all delicious things I have tasted on the blog!

One photo, one memory #3

So recently something changed. I put all my belongings in storage and moved out of Leicester where I had been living for many years. I am now in France for a little while, doing a little bit of travelling, resting.

I'm hoping to be back in the UK by May and then we can have lots more giggles, and of course jewellery! Until then, do keep checking the blog or Facebook for updates and photos!

This is a photo of darling postcards I received before I left... which I took great care in taking with me because they mean so much.
