Warum unsere Tochter heute geweint hat….

Paulina ist momentan wirklich zuckersüß. Gerade im Umgang mit Jonas ist es eine Wonne zuzusehen. Jonas fängt an zu quicken vor Freude wenn er Paulina sieht.

Aber heute war irgendwie etwas der Wurm drin.

Warum Paulina heute geweint hat…

1 … weil ich Ihren Yoghurt umgerührt habe.

2. … weil der Anschnallgurt im Auto nicht eng genug saß.

3. … weil ich Sie nicht das Auto fahren durfte sondern auf Ihren Kindersitz sollte.

4. … weil Marius ihr Brot durchschneiden wollte.

Grüße aus Berlin& ein schönes Wochenende

Fort Mason Community Garden

 

One of my favorite spots in San Francisco is the Fort Mason Community Garden.

It is just-minutes away from us and really like a little retreat.

 

Einer meiner Lieblingsplätze hier San Francisco ist der Fort Mason Community Garden.

Es ist ein Garten in dem kleine Beete an Menschen vergeben werden, die sie dann pflegen.

  Ein kleiner Rückzugsort mitten in der Stadt und

ein schöner Ausflug den ich heute mit Paulina gemacht habe.

Ich hab’s getan …

Endlich habe ich mal ein paar meiner genähten Produkte in meinen Etsy Shop gestellt. Existiert hat dieser schon seit ich ihn letztes Jahr im Zuge eines Motivationsschubes aufgesetzt hatte.
Nun hatte ich wieder ein bischen Zeit zum Nähen und habe auch endlich meinen eigenen Schnitt für ein Mädchenkleid erstellt, das ich schon soooo lange im Kopf hatte. Das Kleid gefällt mir nun so gut, dass ich mittlerweile ein paar Weitere genäht habe, die auch im Shop zu finden sind. Außerdem noch zwei der gehäkelten Mützen meiner Mama.

Ich freue mich über Euren Besuch auf der Seite

I finally did it …

Finally, I have put some of my stuff to etsy.
I already set up the store last year but never got to really filling it. Now, I found time to make some of the balloon covers and worked on the dress pattern that I had in my mind since forever. The dress turned out so nicely (at least in my opinion) that I sewed a couple more and you can also find them in the store.
There are also two of the cute hats that my mum made. Paulina loved wearing hers.

Looking forward to see some “views”!!!

Weekend in Los Angeles

We made a little trip to Los Angeles. It was one of the things we wanted to do while beeing here. So we booked quiete spontanenously a flight.We decided to have a hotel near the airport since it is quite central. Well …. which brings me to my first general sum up. Los Angeles, I must say, will definitely not be part of my list of favorite cities. You need to drive EVERYWHERE and there is ALWAYS traffic.  But lets not be so (German) negative. We had a good time and I will write a little bit about what we did.

1. Bike tour along the beach. We rented bikes and a kid cart in Santa Monica and drove towards Marina del Ray. With severl stops it took us abot 2,5 hours and was a very easy tour. Especially with a toddler there are some nice things to see and many playgrounds. There are some strange people in Venice Beach…. always intersting to watch. I especially liked our stop at the skaterpark.

Here is the littkle kid card we rented.

At the Playground in Venice Beach Beeing unipressed by the skater boys (very good, lets see how long that lasts)

2. Walk of Fame

We have been told that the Walk of Fame is really not as “sparkling” as one might think…. We wanted to go anyway. It is true but I would go again if it is my first time.

3. Berlin Currywurst

Whohoooo. There are two (or three?) restaurants. Not sure if one should call it restaurant. It is a very “stylisch” Imbiss. Especially the  one  at Cahuenga Boulevard that also has a beergarden. In order to get a qualifiable view we went to both ;-). We really liked it Currywurst , although we thought that the  sauce was a little thin and the Bratwurst tasted like a Rindswurst. Not sure what was going on there…. Next time we are in Germany I need to remember to bring a currywurst in the glass from our local butcher.

4. Getty Villa

Most people go to the Getty Museum which hosts an very big art selection in a very nice center including a garden.  Unfortunately it was closed when we were there. We werent that sure about a musemu trip with a toddler anyway. So we went to the Getty Villa. If one is interested you should read about either of them. J. Paul Getty originally made money with (suprise) oil and spend a lot of money on art. Today it is a trust that is obliged to spend a certain amount of money each year to optain more art. Anyway, part of the Getty Villa is a reproduction or replica of the Villa of the Papyry in Italy (Yes, only in America). Entrance is free, parking is 15$) It  hosts a ancient greece, Rome and Entruria collection (which we did not pay a lot of attention) and has very nice garden. There are regular tours. They are limited in space. We were lucky to sneak in.

5. Hollywood Sign

Our plan was to get as close as possible to the Hollywood Sign. It turns out, that it is not as easy to get to. This is how close we got. If one is interested you can search the internet, there are “How tos” available.

6. L.A. Fashion District

We were short in time and very short in Luggage space (no checked bags). But I did manage a stop in the L.A. Fashion District. Well only in one store. I had read about it in the Dana made it blog that I follow. The store supports fashion scholarships and sells next to cloth and accessories textiles for often 1$/yard ( Yes, 1$) plus it has many jerseys, which I had trouble finding good selections so far in San Francisco. The selection is not big. But if you have 20 minutes and are in the neighborhood, it is defenitely worth a stop.

 

At the end we watched a very pretty sunset. 🙂

Tasche für Amelie

Der erste Blogeintrag seit langem!

Es stehen noch sooo viele Themen und Ereignisse aus über die ich schreiben könnte aber für den (Wieder-)Anfang konzentriere ich mich mal auf einen Eintrag mit vielen Bildern 🙂

Mein letztes Näh(groß)projekt war eine Messenger Bag für Amlie. Da sind alle wichtigen Sachen drin die ein großes Mädchen so brauch. Natürlich auch um bald eine richtig große Schwester zu sein.

Die Tasche ist zwar schon ein Deutschland angekommen, aber sie bekommt sie erst zur Geburt ihres kleinen Bruders. Also bitte: “pssst”. Nichts verraten.
