Week in review - about the everyday

Sunday is a good day to resume the week. We have been busy with sleepovers, shopping for farewell-party-gifts, preparing healthy food, finishing knitting projects and gathering inspiration for our Paris trip.

The best thing I got was this Panda Bear:

It was given to me by Jakob, the little boy who grows up so fast and tries to be so cool these days - just like his older brother: 

Moritz still ponders on how to become famous and rich without doing nothing except lying on the bed and reading Donald Duck or playing Lego. Any tips from you would be highly valued!

The other thing he is awaiting impatiently is the new Angry Birds version

I finished some knitting I started in December. I thought it would be a good idea to finish this cowl before springtime.

Here are some close ups: 

It is so light and fluffy and soft and keeps me warm - I could wear it all day!

I also kept up with my healthy eating habit and even spruced things up there. More on Monday about that! This was a weekday lunch for me: fried potatoes, kale, beetroot salad, coleslaw and green tea.

And I took the little monster out shopping on the Namdemun market to get some farewell present for a friend who is leaving Seoul next week. She spotted something when we were there together and I went back to get it for her.

This boy loves to pose and he got himself a new bag. How could it be: Angry-birds related!

We spotted some astronauts where spectacles were sold and Jakob asked me if we could borrow then for his upcoming Astronat and space party.

At Lotte Department store, an incredible store like our German KaDeWe  (just see some pictures here) we spotted some unexpected but familiar ladies

... and some cute little monsters formerly unknown to us:

Around the corner everything was like normal: streetsellers offering pomegranates directly from their lorry

A few metres away from a French inspired bakery chain with a typical thing you need when opening a cafe in Seoul: Something French and a vintage inspired bicycle!

So back home we went to find a dog curled up in his basket

And some Paris inspiration and the dumbbells awaiting me in the bedroom

And today is a day for walking through the woods here

or curl up with a book and a tea here:

And maybe we even decide on doing both!

Have a great Sunday!

Yvonne

A wonderful post Yvonne! And yes, children grows and so they tastes and rules ;)
For your Paris trip, I have a wonderful book in french called "Guide du Paris des enfants, loisirs et tourisme pour les moins de 15 ans", mine is from 1999. If you want it I can let you, even if has to travel more than one week. No trick with that, I guarantee you ;) And BTW you look fantastic!

Ok Yvonne.....you can't think we wouldn't ask for the pattern...is that the Gaptastic cowl? And...what yarn?Its lovely.

[Lizzet]

I love the cowl!!I have one similar that I bought at Comptoir des cottoniers but yours looks much nicer if I must be honest.
Can you share the name of the pattern???

[Severine]

I like to keep track of your healthy habits. I need some motivation myself (We live in England for a few months, it is so hard to resist a cake with tea and coffee here (: ). You are a good inspiration, thank you.

Your new cowl has such a pretty colour end pattern. I bet it is very useful, it seems pretty cold in Korea those days!

Su nueva cubierta tiene un patrón de color de gama bastante. Apuesto a que es muy útil, parece bastante frío en Corea los días!

Come back to us Yvonne. I hope all is well in your world.

(Wir in England für ein paar Monate zu leben, es so schwer ist, um einen Kuchen mit Tee und Kaffee hier widerstehen (:.) Sie sind eine gute Inspiration, danke.

Sie setzen auf jeden Fall einen neuen Spin auf ein Thema, das wars auch schon seit Jahren geschrieben. Nice stuff, just great!
