sorry for publishing yet another post with a photo of myself!
sometimes i must seem like such a selfcentered person because of the
endless amount of blogposts with showing photos of myself...*laughing*...
the reason for this specific one is that i wanted to share the happiness with you
over my new atelier nausika earrings
and
the pretty braided necklace that ute has just gifted me.
i feel spoiled and i am hugely enjoying it....*more laughing*...


thank you all so much for the sweetest words about my knitting skills/knitting results!
if someone had told me, just a few years back, that i was going to find so much joy in knitting
i would have laughed so hard that my stomach would have started to hurt...
one shall definitely never say never....*smiling*...


these days i find myself daydreaming about peonies...i love peonies!
we have quite a few in our garden and every year when they are blooming i get the urge to drown
my face in their fat flower heads...(i actually did it once but got ants crawling into my nose..NOT recommendable!...*laughing*..)


another quote from the book i am currently reading (and hugely enjoying) these days,
The art of hearing heartbeats by Jan-Philipp Sendker:

"Love has so many different faces that our imagination is not prepared to see them all."
"Why does it have to be so difficult?"
“Because we see only what we already know. We project our own capacities—for good as well as evil—onto the other person. Then we acknowledge as love primarily those things that correspond to our own image thereof. We wish to be loved as we ourselves would love. Any other way makes us uncomfortable. We respond with doubt and suspicion. We misinterpret the signs. We do not understand the language. We accuse. We assert that the other person does not love us. But perhaps he merely loves us in some idiosyncratic way that we fail to recognize."
