winter stuff

It's quite cold and all look frozen outside, even people.
I wish I could  go on hibernation! instead, I'm baking, 
I made orange marmalade.  
I'm stitching a linen quilt, I'm making new stuff for knots and 
I'm knitting mittens.

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.

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.

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

beautiful interior landscapes + quilt
but i agree with Anita, I wouldn't mind to live in a house like that, what a perfect sofa for an afternoon nap!
thank you for mentioning my little efforts too, Alessandra, it's been fun.

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.
