A Month in My Life (October 2022)

-

 Hey there!

Welcome back to my monthly blogpost! I can't believe that I'm doing this for 10 months straight right now and I am happy about every reader!

My better half and I got Corona again (despite being vaccinated and boostered twice and always wearing a mask...!). It was harsh, but we are fine again!

Personal

When we were sick, we started playing board games every day! Here we are playing the village-building game Hamlet, which we supported via Kickstarter! It is a fun if you like these kind of games! :)

We haven't played Andor for years! It is quite simple and easy, so it was perfect for our downtime!

One of my favourite games right now: Die Quacksalber von Quedilinburg! You have to brew a potion and don't let it explode!

We also mastered all of the Mass Effect games! Wow, I am still amazed and breathless about all the twists and turns of these games! They really are masterpieces! (My favorite character is Garrus!!!)

A friend of mine asked me to beta-read her manuscript and I gladly did so! The epic soundtrack of Hades was just the right choice of her magical adventure! Can't wait to read more in the second book! <3

This year, we harvested a lot of quinces! Since we didn't have the time (and energy... OTL) to turn all of them into juice, we brought them to a nearby company which buys fruits and you get the juice (of your choice) in return!

After being healthy again, we had to celebrate in a running sushi restaurant! I really miss Japan these days...!

I also took the time and baked a lot - here you see an apple tart with our own apples! 

I finally perfected my beloved Bauernbrot Hanno! The crust was always too dark for my liking and now it is PERFECT.

This is becoming more and more of a food blog... XD I hope you don't mind! If you want any of the recipes, please don't hesitate and shoot me a message via twitter!

Nerd

Last month, I got lots of new figures! I still have to find the right place for them in my display, but once it's done, I'll share some pictures! Now I am on the hunt for the Sucy and Akko Nendoroid from Little Witch Academia! I watched the anime for the 4th time already and HAD to buy those cute figures!


My Manga loot for this month! I got "Love & Lies" really cheap over ebay Kleinanzeigen and binge-read it! So much drama! Otherwise, I am eager to read the newest volume of "Diaries of an Apothecary"! Mr. Mallow Blue war pretty good and "Sweat and Soap", too!

Etsy

I found a manufacturer for enamel pins, but the designs were too detailes to be turned into pins. So I simplified them:

The same design... It looks so different in the simple version, doesn't it?

I love the original desings, so seeing them cut down like that really... hurt. So I decided to not turn them into enamel pins, but wooden pins instead! 

An example for how the wooden pins will look like in the end! This one is from Sugar Bunny!

Using a wooden pin enables me to keep all the details! I am eager to show you the final pins! I turned these designs into pins:

I wonder which pin design will be the most popular one! :)

Other than that, I made frigde magnet with a bottle opener at the back (left) and a mousepad (right):
I really like the designs! ////

I hope they are ready for the christmas business! In december, I want to sell some of my handdrawn originals and design some new stickers. I am thinking about Zelda and Journey stickers right now. Keep your fingers crossed that I won't be as busy as I am fearing these days! ;D

Currently reading: (Un)doing Gender

Currently playing: Eastward (Nintendo Switch)

This concludes this months' blogpost! Thanks for reading! Stay healthy and warm until we read again!

A Week in my Life (April 2021)

 Long time no read! :) I had lots of work to do, but I want to share some highlights nevertheless! I just start at random~ ⤴︎ ε=ε=(ง ˃̶͈̀ᗨ˂̶͈́)۶ ⤴︎ House Viewing One day, my better half and I want to own or build a house. We went for a house viewing for a "cheap" (ahahahah) house, but it was far away, dark and everything was broken (floor, walls, ...). You can't see it on the photos, but it was just horrible. The front of the house~ The garden was big, but quite hilly! The bathroom looks much better on photo than in real life! :'D Besides being dark and right beside a hill, the layout was just... strange. For example: You had a ENORMOUS corridor without a reason and the rooms were much smaller because of it. Or you had these three connected rooms, were you had to go across the first and the second one to get into the tird one... because they haven't had their own doors??? X'D  For anyone who's interested: The house was 300 square metres big and the garden ...

A Week in my Life (March 2021)

Writing in a blog is really fun and I enjoy it a lot, so I wanted to try out a new "format" for me: "A week in my Life", were I write small snippets of my life. March 29th - April 4th I LOVE IT! IT'S SO BIG!!! (4 meters x 2 meters) We build a greenhouse and I couldn't be happier! Now all the raised tomatoes, beans, radish, carrots and more can be planted outside and grow!  Building this greenhouse has been a huge pain "thanks" to this inconveniently written construction manual, but in the end we DID IT! (I felt like during my first lecture at university, when I read the manual. I didn't understand a single thing! X'D) Guess how heavy the earth is! :D (Answer at the end of the blog post!) A friend of mine invented the game "Let's Schätz". In this game you have to guess certain numbers of specific topics (measurements, weight, temperature, time, ...). I created 40 new questions additional to the 25 ones I already had, because my...
