weekend at home













This weekend was spent without leaving the house, and I didn't even notice.


We assembled our new bed (that's Sophie's beautiful calendar above it),

he baked two loaves of bread (following the "Tartine Bread" recipe. Such a pretty book!),
I baked a cake (Nigel's recipe again: chocolate beetroot cake. so good.)

(sorry, yellow kitchen photos!),

I toasted hazelnuts and almonds to make some nut butter for this week's sandwiches,

we cleaned the apartment,

drank tea with lovely neighbours; they brought us yellow mimosas which now brighten up our living room,

and I spent some (a lot of) hours in front of the computer doing research for my new school project (a kindergarten).


I hope your weekend was splendid.
Happy Monday to you all!

    Funny to see that I am not the only one that has different types of bowls and mugs. Each for every specific type of drink or meal. Nice photos

    It sounds like a perfect weekend and perfect neighbors too (: Yesterday evening I met the first time one of my new neighbors and he wondered if it is alright to bicycle in such a cold weather. Yes I said, with enough of handmade clothes (:

    Beetroot cake, sounds very good. First task of today for me is also to bake a cake.

    Happy Wednesday!
