A new face for a kind of old kitchen

This is a kind of long promised post that I did not really manage to write. Anyways. So about ... two weeks ago Lyza and I went to Ikea with my mom and they are actually offering their fabric for cheaper for people with an Ikea family card so I just told my mom if she wanted I could sew her new cushions for our kitchen because I felt like it. Said and done we bought (maybe a bit too much) the fabric and I started sewing. It didn't even took that long and I l

I really like how they turned out and since I had enough fabric I also made a matching table runner! My apologies for badly light photos but our whole house is really dark and there is no way you can take good photos of our kitchen I believe ...

Onto the photos though!

How do you like it? I really like it actually. I was considering making a tutorial? They are quite easy to make and even more easy to wash that's why I made them like this. And I also considered to add fake buttons to it. If I do I will post an update but I think it would be really cute.

Okay everyone have a great day everyone.

Love,

Loose ends

I've been doing many things on impulse lately. Like really impulively.

Sometimes I find myself cleaning the house or sorthing through my clothes but usually my intrest dies somewhere right in the middle so I have no real progress to show. I snapped photos from our rooms to show them uncleaned and then cleaned but the cleaned part never happened.

Next to that I have been building up an unhealthy addiction to Lyza's new Ipad. But that is a whole different story but let me tell you I am a wonderful frog breeder.

There are no real news on our apartment yet, which scares me just the slightest bit but we will try to call our landlord today again.

Returning to the topic of loose ends. In my head I write at least three different blog posts a day but don't finish them. I keep lists filled with ideas for either this blog and Lyza's and my K-pop project but somehow I miss the vigor to go though with these plans.

So what I want to say, I think, is that my life is changing right at the moment and it did not finish by now so I can't really adjust. If I am honest I don't really know when I will be but maybe I will get closer to that goal once we moved or at least once we can start packing.

We have gotten offers of household things, furniture and lots of advice over the past weeks but without even being sure that everything with the apartment will work out okay it's also kind of in the air. I hate this waiting, really.

Because on one hand it gives me the opportunity to go at everything slowly but on the other it gives me too much time to worry about everything, especially money if we are honest.

All this worrying resolutes into my wanting to do something but if I do one thing I need to do something else and thus I just get pulled into the habit of abandoning things before finsihing them again. This is a bit hopeless but I try to break this circle over and over again.

On happier and maybe a bit more informative news I've been trying to start sewing. It's nothing big, only new pillow cases for the kitchen but it's a start and I still did not give up on the idea of producing something and selling it. I will keep you updated, hopefully, and I think I already found a real toppic and not me angsting for my next post. Isn't that exciting?

So please look forward to the next post most probably even with pictures again!

Love 

Maren

Ps. I think I finally get a hang of all this inspiration posting so I think you can look forward to a few posts about things that inspire me as well. Would you like that?
