*Raffia bag

I really love to crochet with raffia yarn, so I made another bag, but in another natural shade. It turned out really pretty, what do you think? The pattern is from KatitoBags in case you want to make one as well! It's actually a very summery bag, perfect for the beach, but I think it looks also nice with all the autumn leaves around :)

*ray of light

The weather was moody when we made a trip to the lake, but there was this moment when the dark clouds opened for a while and set some sunbeams free and the light made this warm reflection in the water.

Another little movie where I share the making of my Siena bag and some quality time at the lake.

*garden apples

There is nothing better than picking an apple from the tree and eat it instantly - which is what we mostly do. But this year we had enough to make all sorts of tasty things like cookies and homemade vinegar. Is there any receipt with apples that you especially like? 

November is here and with it came the fog and the air is smelling a bit like snow today which makes it very cozy inside. We harvested the last potatoes and there are still many carrots left. No strong frosts yet! I ordered a Christmas book to nurture my already present Christmas mood.

I wish you all a wonderful November with lots of delicious tea, soothing nature walks and good reads by candlelight!

*October days

We had some really golden October days lately, not much frost yet, but some storms. It took us nearly 8 years to make a camp fire place in our garden, but it is a great upgrade! The last two weekends we harvested some of our potatoes and roasted them directly in the open fire. It was wonderful and very relaxing!

I also joined the #moontoberweekends drawing challenge. I participated last year and it was so much fun, so I wanted to give it a try again, but in between I had some commissions, so I had to stop again, but maybe I can still finish them. Let's see!

Although I'm still struggling with my health situation, I am really enjoying this time of the year and I am daydreaming of the first snow and the calmness that winter brings.

*Siena bag

Some time ago I finished a new crochet project, I made this bag out of raffia yarn and I really like how it turned out! The pattern is created by Paula Müller and it's available in her Etsy store: "Paulastrickt" in case you feel inspired to make one too!

When making the pictures this little grasshopper joined me, he seemed to really like my new bag :)
