There were days when I would accompany my husband to the hardware store & show very little interest in what he was there to look for or to buy. But in the last couple of months, I have suddenly started initiating such visits (to his surprise) as I try to keep up with my DIY projects whose results I can't wait to share with you.

'Women who support each other are confident, generous, visionaries'........Mariela Dabbah This is an exhibition & market founded by Cleopatra Hänsen which aims to bring together talented women who are also business owners to give them an opportunity to showcase their products. It takes place a couple of times in a year & I was able to attend the last one this year for the first time.

There will be absolutely no twirling for me in this dress, well, not unless I have on some tights with it. I had some fabric left over from an order & decided to make my first wrap dress, which turned out a bit short but quite fun too.

It has been raining quite a lot in the last few weeks so waterproof shoes have definately been a requirement. I've had these 'Timberland inspired' boots for over 4 years & they always come to my rescue when it's cold & rainy. When i bought them they were a light shade of brown in colour which was quite difficult to maintain seeing that they are worn when the ground isn't exactly dry. So, I dyed them to the darker shade that they are now & this has been quite practical. I like the...

Sometimes we read too much into words or statements made by people without giving them a chance to explain themselves. This might end up damaging relationships that have taken years to build & really hurt the people that we love. This cute sweater is the perfect reminder that things aren't always what they look like (just imagine me as a Gangster Rapper)!

The 'Freilichtmuseum am Kiekeberg' is quite an interesting place to visit, with over 40 historical buildings which include farmhouses, Barns & workshops which are built in the same way as those between 1600 to the 1950's. There are several events that are held at the Museum & on this day, there was a big 'Tractor Show' where several Tractors were on display. Am not such a big fan of machines & locomotives but Hubby & my son were in heaven to see all the tractors. The museum is...

Who knew that finding a nice pair of flared pants in Fall/Winter on short notice would be so difficult. After spending almost half a day running around shopping malls & thift shops, I finally decided to make myself one. So, off I went to Karstadt where i got some Black Denim Fabric which i used to make these pants. I didn't even have time to finish off the hems because I was travelling to Berlin for an event (blogged about it here) but i actually loved the 'unfinished finish' look of them....

For any Ankara/African wax print lover, this shop is the true defination of Fabric heaven. Situated on Fuhlsbüttler straße 460 here in Hamburg is a charming little Fabric shop filled with the most amazing Ankara fabrics which are either made in Africa or from the Vlisco brand in Holland. The Fabrics are of high quality & is the reason why i often buy my fabrics from there. The lovely couple that owns the shop are always very helpful for first-time visitors on which print to choose or how...

Oslo is a beautiful city which we unfortunately only got to see a small side of. Our 4 hour tour of the city was part of a weekend cruise that we made on the Color Magic Cruise Ship to celebrate Hubby's Birthday.
