*dark clouds, fall winds and braided hair

Dark clouds, fall winds and braided hair.

We are having our first snow! I was pretty surprised when it started yesterday evening. I packed my camera and made a walk when it was still dark in the morning to enjoy it, before it is all gone again, but it's still there now! I also started to crochet after a long break. It feels good to do some needlework again, especially with those long evenings. Have a good start into the new week and keep warm!

*cozy home

The golden October has been replaced with a misty and dark November. A drastic change, but it is still quite mild. No first snow yet! My urge for a simple way of living was never greater. And never have I felt more fulfilled.

Have a good start into the new week and feel free to tell me how you create coziness at this time of the year for yourself to get along with those dark days.

*fox

I made this fox illustration for the spoonflower animal tea towel contest some weeks ago. It is designed to fit exactly a Fat Quarter of "Linen Cotton Canvas Ultra" fabric, so it's perfect for getting one tea towel out of it, or 4 pieces if you order one yard of the fabric. Thank you to all who already purchased my fox fabric or other designs! Happy sewing!

*Almsee

One stop of our autumn vacation was the Almsee, an extremely beautiful mountain lake in Upper Austria. We had fabulous weather and especially enjoyed observing the swans.

*misty mornings

My favorite moment –

when the sunlight

touches everything

for the first time on a new day.

*writing

It takes like forever until the big red morning sun rises nowadays, but it's the best time to do some studies.

Making lots of envelopes out of pretty papers for my snail-mail adventures and feeling grateful for all my pen pals all over the world.

There is so much happening lately that I started to write diary again to order my thoughts and new insights. I highly recommend it, if you are feeling overwhelmed easily!

*At night in the garden

We were always interested what actually is going on in our garden at night-time, because often we hear the weirdest noises and sounds, so my father gifted me a wild cam to my Birthday and since then we were able to catch some of those visitors on picture!
