One thing leads to another – Creative maker supply case

October 30, 2016 by nadel&gabel

The ones that follow me on instagram may have recognized that I’ve started a new longtime project: Handlettering. Although writing – mainly on chalkboard – is part of my daily routine, I’m definitely lacking a pretty handwriting. I had started a few rather piteous attempts in lettering, but this time, when I came across Frau Hölle and her tutorials I decided to keep up with more honesty and endurance … and professional equipment! And what can I say? – Langsam nährt […]

Keep on turning – DIY rope bowl

January 18, 2016 by nadel&gabel

This project is in my blogging queque for a while now. It was one of my christmas gift projects, actually one of my favourite ones. Over years now I’ve bookmarked various tutorials for handmade baskets or bowls – but most of them are based on handsewing … aargh … I hate handsewing, I’m a impatient person. So, basically I remained bookmarking and thinking about how I would … someday … And then I saw Frau Gold`s admirable rope bowls, followed the link for […]

Splash – Free printable calendar 2016

December 16, 2015 by nadel&gabel

Yes, I’ve made another one! Obviously a lot of readers were interested in the calendar I created for 2015, the year that’s now nearly gone already. So here it is: A brand new calendar for the upcoming year! Reduced in colour and based on different splashes and brush strokes on the one hand and vintage illutrations that lead through the seasons of nature on the other hand, completed by two of my alltime favourite fonts. And again in two versions, an English […]

So practical – Carry-all pincushion from “Handmade Style”

July 31, 2015 by nadel&gabel

 When I first flipped through the pages of Anna Grahams sewing book “Handmade Style” I had a hard time to decide with which project I would like to start: A tunic for me, another bag or perhaps a quilting project after I’ve mastered my first steps? I’ve decided to start small … and practical! A pincushion that carries everything a sewer always needs at hand? – What a brilliant idea! I gathered a few scraps in black, grey and white […]

Hamburg – Far away Germany

November 7, 2014 by nadel&gabel

When I first visited Hamburg – it must be 15 years ago – you could say the journey was the reward, at least a big part of it: Together with two school friend I spend several hours on regional trains from the deep south of Germany to the far away Hamburg. Despite the lacking comfort this rail trip gave me a sense of the distance between those German regions. I haven’t been to Hamburg since (shame on me),  but I […]

Merry christmas! … and last minute gift wrapping ideas

December 24, 2013 by nadel&gabel

All my gifts are wrapped… ..and now I am totally excited to finally give them away and spend the holidays with my closest ones! When it came to gift wrapping, this year I stayed with kraft paper, black & white, geometric and a dash of gold (wire). The christmas cards I designed myself, fixed – of course – with masking tape [btw: Yes, I long thought about it, but as a font addict finally I couldn’t resist and bought the […]
