St.Patrick's Day is coming

This sunday is the greenest day of the year! So I'm preparing myself! I made this sweet little green and gold bobby pins:

Some thing are changing

Something is changing. I can't really tell what is going on, but something is happening. I mean, everybody can see that I cutted my hair after 5 years of dreadlocks. But there is more. I think it is more inside myself.
But you can see changes in what I'm doing:

I'm thinking of doing a new weblog...because this blog is not longer what I feel like...

Let the graduation begin...

Hello again! I'm back from paris since over a month. But there was a reason, I really was not able to post or write something.
Back at university we had the project were the teachers decide who will graduate and who will not.
And tadaaa! I'm now officially a member of the graduation class 2013!
That means, more working at night, and really no time to do something different than weaving.
In one week, the final project will start, and before that I wanted to use the time I have at the moment to show you my collection, I did the last weeks:

Knitting

I'm alway sick in Paris. It is like my body is protesting against beeing here...
In the time I'm laying in bed, I try to knit. So this is what I did since I'm in Paris:

 Opal Regenwald, Johnny der Luftschiffkapitän

Size 40

Needles: 2.5

And I'm knitting a sweater from the same yarn I used for my wingspan. It's top down, raglan and I did it like I thought it could fit me. So we will see if it works..
Ohh, and I know now what yarn it is:

Lana Grossa Point Stretch Color 2003

2. Advent

Really slow my appartment is looking a little bit like christmas. We don't have snow in Paris and I don't feel like christmas or winter, but I try to make a little bit christmas sphere in my appartment.

I found that really nice tutorial for ornaments out of old bookpages, so I had to try it:

And yes my candles have paperflames, because I don't have a lighter...

Paris

Sometimes you have to try something new. This Blog is now in English, when you read the Post you will know why I made this decision.

Manchmal muss man etwas neues ausprobieren, Dieser Blog ist jetzt in Englisch. Wenn jemand das nicht versteht, meinem Blog aber weiterhin folgen möchte, schreibt mir doch bitte einfach, ich kann versuchen das ganze zweisprachig zu machen.

I posted nothing for a really long time. Thats because there was really much turmoil in my life the last half year.
But now it is getting better.
So why am I writing in English? Since october I live in Paris, France. I'm doing an Internship at Malhia Kent and I met many nice people there. Textiledesigners like me. But nobody is german. Thats why I decided to write in English, So all my friends can read my posts.

I'm really much sick here, I think it is really hard for my body and brain to be here, because my teachers decided that I have to do my internship here, and I don't speak french (I try to learn, but...), so my body makes a rebellion against everything here.
I'm sick at the moment, so I thought I should blog again!

There will be a few posts in the next days, but I'm preparing pictures at the Moment, so you have to wait, a few hours, or days.

But hey, after half a year thats nothing!
