Heart Shaped Peanut Butter Cookies
Yes, I know, VD is over (I am not even mentioning the name), but that should not stop you from having a sweet and hearty breakfast together with milk like those peanut butter cookies. Whilst I am at it, I also have some leftover table decorations pictures from the day I am no longer mentioning. Moving on to spring then, not such a bad idea anyway.
It's Scrapbooking Time
I was in Erkrath yesterday for a "Backen mit Love " book signing event. I basically moved in there for the afternoon with all my Valentine`s Day stuff. We turned the event into a scrapbooking workshop and it was a blast. Thanks to the lovely people from Buchhandlung Weber who invited me and have such lovely furniture. It was very easy to decorate everything nice. Thanks also, to everyone who came chatted, scrapbooked or bought the book. I still can´t believe that we are already in the 2nd Edition.
Handmade Things for the Valentine's Day Crafternoon Party
For the Valentine´s Day Crafternoon Party at the Bookstore this Friday I am preparing to show lot´s of cute handmade things. I made paper straw love Toppers (at least I call them that), tiny punched love hearts, special tea bags for your loved ones, crochet heart ornaments, valentines day cards, sewed in chocolate hearts and last but not least love hangtags made out of cut out doily paper. So, if you happen to live around NRW in Germany come and visit me on Friday and we make those things together (click for info where and when)
Valentine's Day Crafternoon Party
Wer im Raum Köln/Düsseldorf wohnt, kann mich am Freitag den 14.2.2014 in der Buchhandlung Weber (Hochdahler Markt 22

Für ganz kurz entschlossene die ideale Gelegenheit dem oder der liebsten mein Buch zum Valentinstag zu schenken. Egal wie ihr kommt, meine hand-gestaltete Valentinskarte gibts für alle auf jeden Fall dazu. Das super nette Team der Buchhandlung sorgt auch für das (süße) leibliche Wohl und verschafft euch zudem ein "Bücher Blind Date".

Valentine's Day Window Decoration
This Valentine´s Day, I have my focus on two projects. First it´s all about getting the windows of the house ready for the special day. After I had removed all Christmas ornaments from the windows, they looked empty. The second thing I am working on is a Valentine's Day card, which I hope will be finished soon, so that I can give it to you as a downloadable greeting.
Valentine´s Day Vintage Paper Garland
My husband makes us breakfast every morning. As he usually has to take something out of the kitchen cupboard, I thought it would be a good opportunity to show him a gentle reminder that Valentine´s Day is coming. Even if it´s still January, the day will come. For this "real life newsfeed", I used two hand made garlands. One is heart ribbon crochet and the other one I cut out of vintage paper.
Valentine's Day Preparations
This Sunday is all about getting ready for Valentine´s Day. For me, this means that I am trying out new cake recipes and I also bring up the decorations. For our neighbors this means, free Sunday afternoon cake delivered directly to their house. As I am a big fan of 'dry' coffee cakes, I tried this Cream Cheese Coffee Cake with Cinnamon Streusel. Yummy.
Happy Valentine's Day !
My hubby is getting a supercute gift, which I secretly finished last week already! Well, the original idea I had in mind, seems to be unworkably. I wanted to scratch our both initials in some wooden bark. but: how do I get the tree inside our house? and: how should I wrap the tree up?! so, at the end I decided to embroider everything, and I am quite happy with the outcome!
But of course I need a supercute valentine's card as well! at the end I loved 3 cards and could not decide. That's why I ended up buying all 3 of them and thinking it over: I am gonna use the one with the cats! I like it the most! hope you do agree with my decision?

Valentine´s Day Miniature Cookie Etageres
Valentine's week starts today with "crafty Monday". You guessed it, this might be the first of many Valentine´s Day related posts that I am planning to do. Last week I have already finished these cute miniature cookie etageres but the things that I wanted to put on them were still missing.
I think it´s kind of boring if there are cookies on a cookie etagere. So I had to find something else that would also relate to the overall Valentine`s Day theme. I thought sweets would be nice but at first I did not knew where to find them. During a shopping weekend in London I accidentally went into a sweet store on Columbia Road which had exactly what I was looking for.
