Cold, cold and colder.

I guess you're all really sick of my complaints about the horrible weather over here, but I just can't help it. Now we've even got snow (these pictures are from a couple of days ago), and although it does look very pretty, and it's nice to cuddle up in warm sweaters, socks, hats, coats and scarves, I miss the sunshine on my body terribly... hm, I think I need to find something else to focus on otherwise I'm afraid I might fall into a winter depression or something.

Autumnal forest.

On Sunday, my boyfriend and I went for a walk in the absolutely freezing cold, yet beautiful autumnal forest. It was a very short walk because of the cold, but still rather enjoyable and we managed to take a few picture. It makes me sad that from now on it's only going to get colder and colder and that warm weather is still quite far away - if only I manage to get my thesis done and move away from here, that is.

New finds today.

Today was such a lovely, sunny (yet absolutely freezing!) day here and my boyfriend and I went to the city centre to pick up some fabric for a dress that I am going to sew at my sewing course.



It's going to be a very cute (hopefully!) plaid dress with a peter pan collar and buttons. I really can't wait to finish it!



I also got these adorable woolen knee socks at H&M. I think they are going to look great with my future dress as well.

Later on we went for a walk in the autumn coloured woods and I'll show you the photos we took there another day. Before I forget; thanks everyone, for all the wonderful tips on how to stop procrastinating!

Lazy girl.

I wonder why it is so difficult for me to be diligent and effective when I have something important that needs to be done. I always end up prioritizing silly tv-shows, sorting through my stuff or even sleeping when I'm not even tired instead of - in my case right now, write my master's thesis which I have just begun writing. I really find it quite mysterious why I am like that - why I would prefer to waste time like that instead of getting it over with faster. If any of you have some good advice on how to beat this annoying habit, please do let me know!
On another note, here is the playsuit I bought a few weeks ago from Sea NY that I promised to show some better pictures of.

Wind in my hair.

I seem to be neglecting my blog these days -something I don't actually want to do, but is difficult to avoid due to my boyfriend being here, my studies, work, and a couple of afternoon courses I am taking. In fact I just started taking a sewing course since learning how to operate my sewing machine, and sewing as well as I would like to is not something I found myself mastering as well enough. I'm extremely excited by that. And as for my blog, I'm going to try to be a bit better at that.

A couple of days ago we went for a walk in the windy air. I really like it when it's very windy apart from the fact that my hair gets too tangled.

PS. Since many of you were wondering, the rose pattern on the muffins in the last post simply turn out that way since I've got rose patterned muffin molds. Very easy!

Shana tova (happy new year)!

On Friday, I celebrated Rosh Hashanah, or the Jewish new year with my boyfriend. It included wine and wonderful food that my boyfriend had cooked for us. It was all so delicious! I think Rosh Hashanah is my favourite Jewish holiday since it is always so festive, you eat good food, and it's a new year with new beginnings! So, happy new year!

Mashed potatoes with dill.


Tunisian chickpea soup with parsley. I think this is the best soup I have ever tasted in my life.


My sweet boyfriend.


And baked paprika with rice.


Oh, and I baked honey cake in muffin cups. Honey cake is one of the best cakes there are!


Me.

Wilted nature.

The trees and plants over here are getting yellower by the day, which I really enjoy seeing. Though so far it's been raining too much and I want a sunny autumn day so that I can take my boyfriend with me on a little outdoor picnic. So far we've mostly been staying inside talking, watching movies and just being together - although that is lovely too.

And thanks for all the nice birthday greetings! They really put a smile on my face.





The skirt is thrifted, vest from Zara, tights from H&M, shoes from Benetton and trench coat from Dahlia.

Excited.

My boyfriend came here last night, which I am so, so excited about as I hadn't seen him since April. It's so nice to have him here, especially since it happens to be my birthday today (something I don't feel that excited about since I despise getting older, starting to look older and all that...), and knowing that I am going to have him here for five weeks before he goes home again.




Before he came I spent the whole day yesterday cleaning and making my place nice - and I bought a pretty autumnal plant to decorate my window sill.


I baked some more blueberry muffins.




And then I did my hair and make up and put on a pretty dress before going to the airport to pick him up...
