Sie ist fertig! Elbphilharmonie

English text coming in a minute ;)

Man glaubt es kaum, oder? Nach einer Bauzeit von gefühlt 20 Jahren ist die Elbphilharmonie tatsächlich fertig, und in wenigen Wochen finden endlich schon die ersten Konzerte statt.
Ich liebe sie! Entgegen aller Kritiken war ich schon immer fest auf ihrer Seite, und habe im Gegensatz zu all den Nörglern brav und geduldig auf sie gewartet.

So tingelten wir also heute zur Eröffnung in die Hafencity. Mit uns ca. eine halbe Million andere Menschen. Rauf sind wir nicht, die Schlangen waren viel zu lang, und da wir vor ein paar Jahren die Ehre hatten eine Baustellen-Führung mitzumachen, kennen wir den grandiosen Ausblick schon.
Da sah es dort übrigens so aus:

Das war schon beeindruckend, und die Fertigstellung schien damals noch Lichtjahre zu dauern. Aber nun ist ja endlich Ruhe im Karton. Vergessen wir die Unsummen die sie verschlungen hat. Sie ist einfach wunderschön. Punkt.

Homemade Sugarfree PSL

Fall is here!
Being born in October, Fall is indeed my favorite season of all. ( Well, aside from christmas time, but that is not an official season, so Fall it is).
I love when it's pouring and blowing outside, and I'm snuggled up inside with my Snuggie, my favorite pink knit socks, and a hot beverage. It can't get any cozier.

This is also the season of my favorite coffee ( aside from Peppermint Mocca Frappuchino):

The poop emoji. So cute! The cutest of all. We all love the poop emoji, don't we? But brown is such a depressing color. Pink is so much better. We all love pink, don't we?

Also dann, einfach diesen kleinen Fratz ausdrucken, einrahmen, und wieder lächeln!

Dip-Dye Summer Scarf

Scarves. I'm a huge fan of scarves of any kind. Chunky cozy knit scarves in winter, and brightly patterned airy scarves in summer. I happened to find a nice chiffon scarf in white, but you know plain white is boring. Let's add some color!

Painted Knitting Needles

While knitting is definitely not one of my main talents, and the only stitch I am able to manage is the basic Garter Stitch, I truly enjoy playing with yarn and needles lately. It is extremely relaxing, can easily be done while watching TV, and you can see a result after only a couple of minutes.
I purchased a knitting magazine a few weeks ago, that came with two skeins of yarn and a set of ( admittedly cheap) wooden needles.
Today, i painted those needles. It's super easy and can be done in minutes..

Easter is right around the corner. And although we don't actually calebrate, the whole family will be gathered in our home this year, and i am currently planning the table setting and decoration. This DIY requires some time and patience, as you will have to wait for the clay and paint to dry. But it's fun, and i love the result.

This tray is basically my dinner table. I've had it for at least one decade, and use it every time when i'm snuggled up in my bed and eat while watching TV. Plain white is boring though; time for a makeover!

DIY Dip-Dyed Flowers

                                                                          

Look at these beautiful pink hyacinths! Don't they just scream "spring" and put you in a good mood instantly?

This is not what they looked like though, when i found them at my favorite flower shop. They were leftovers from the weekend, almost wilted, squeezed into a tiny corner, looking sad, sold at a bargain price. Oh, and they were plain white.
