Hibernation

It's quite cold and all look frozen outside, even people.
I wish I could  go on hibernation! instead, I'm baking bread, focaccia, scones, cakes, brownies and so on, I secretly wish to become an amazing baker! I made orange marmalade, which goes well with all those baked goods.  I'm stitching a linen quilt, I'm making new stuff for the e-shop, I'm knitting mittens...I wake up at 5am and I go to sleep at 9pm. I think I'm sort of hibernating anyway...

We went to London and our friends took us to the new Unpackaged shop.I think most of the groceries should be like that, unless they sell beautiful packaging made of cardboard, paper, glass and aluminium ( you can tell I deeply dislike supermarkets).

In one of these random pictures there's a corner of Anita's dolls house, as she says these days (for almost everything) "I wouldn't mind to... live in a house like that!". I made the mattresses to use either as a sofa or spares when all the lovely animals come to visit the little mouse that lives there. I think after 4 years the house needs to be redecorate and modernised a bit.

I really like this doll house too.

Some snapshots around the house with "bits and pieces" made by lovely people that I admire a lot.

A little sale in my e-shop.

Great projects for hibernation. I'm impressed by all the creativity.

Hey, I have been fantasizing since the '90's about a shop where you bring your own containers. It's the way of the future (has to be) ... though I do really love a pretty tea tin for time to time :^)

Janis, I wish that too! It's fun to shop there and it's actually even cheaper than buying the full packaged products!The creativity, is the only way to stay afloat I guess, thank you x

Thank you Delphine! Yes, I like simple and calm homes, I keep taking things away to just leave things I like or are usefuful, it feels liberating! :)

This mouse's house is so adorable!
I wouldn't mind spend a week-end in those cushions.
