Foraging and finding – Fir tip honey

May 6, 2018 by nadel&gabel

Long time no see, he? Yes, this has been a quiet place for a long time, although this doesn’t mean that I haven’t cooked, knitted or sewed. But priorities had shifted during the last months. After our movement we were busy making our house a home. And then came April… oh, this extraordinary warm summer-like April, and most of I could think of was our garden. We did a lot of unweeding, sowing and planting. We furnished our terrace, build […]

Keep the rhythm – Avocado dyed fabric and embroidered pincushion

June 2, 2017 by nadel&gabel

Somehow I didn’t really see it coming. It was a busy time, but I had the feeling that I’m coping well this time. I must have missed some early sign of my body. So the sign got louder, arrythmic. My heart had lost its rhythm somewhere on the way, I had lost my rhythm. I was eager to regain it, to find my beat again. What helped me (like most of the time): The calming power of nature, withdrawal from […]

Balance – Felt ball mobile

January 14, 2017 by nadel&gabel

It’s already midst of January, the blog break obviously took longer than intended. Anyway, I hope you all had relaxed holidays and a good start into the new year. Mine started with a lot of work, but I don’t complain. Proudness that I managed not to fall into too much procrastination prevails! (One of my big goals for 2017). This project actually was one of my Christmas presents. But as it is not very christmasy and because I had wanted […]

Catching thoughts – DIY notebooks

August 29, 2016 by nadel&gabel

Die Gedanken sind frei. Wer kann sie erraten?  Sie fliegen vorbei wie nächtliche Schatten. Kein Mensch kann sie wissen, kein Jäger erschiessen. Es bleibet dabei, die Gedanken sind frei. When my colleague and me were planning our upcoming student research project we soon came to the conclusion that every student should have a place to write down his/her thoughts, ideas, questions. A “Gedankenfänger” (thought catcher) to keep these things in whatever way, words, sketches, scrapbooked newspaper articles,… It should be small, we decided, […]

N’ice … cream with roasted apricots and caramelized almonds

July 9, 2016 by nadel&gabel

Yes, it really has become quiet around here the last weeks (and I know that I said this before). Let’s call it an inspirational low point combined with a lot of real life to deal with. Anyway, I am here again, hopefully more regularly again from now on.  Probably you’ve heard already about “n’ice cream”, this summer’s hot shit around the raw-vegan-natural-clean-eating-scene. The idea is to create ice cream without artificial, processed ingredients and instead use as a base frozen […]

Right on the doorstep – A culinary day trip to the Swabian Alb

February 12, 2016 by nadel&gabel

Retrospectively I think that it is really embarrassing that I did this only now. It took me 15 years that I am living here to explore what lies right under my nose, to go on a small foodie day trip around the corner. I am far away from being spontaneous, but this time it was a quick decision in the morning, some internet research where I wanted to go … and I was on my way to the Schwäbische Alb (Swabian Alb) planning to visit […]

Skin nourishment – Whipped body butter

February 3, 2016 by nadel&gabel

Yes, I am giving a recipe to you here, but this time it is not to feed your belly but your skin, altough you’ll find most of the ingredients in your kitchen cabinet. Let me go farther back for a bit: As probably a lot of people, especially in winter I suffer from dry skin. Throughout the years I’ve experimented with a lot of body lotions and butters, and I had some quite satisfying results. But nothing could compete with […]

Care in the kitchen – Olive oil wood butter

December 20, 2015 by nadel&gabel

Only a few days and we’ve finally reached the point of so many preparations and expectations. Too many?  I guess, expecting perfection, having perfect pictures in your mind, can be very smothering. So, I try to take it easy and have a look what this years holidays will bring. I am looking forward to spending a relaxed Christmas Eve solely with him before the whole hustle and bustle, to visiting my home town, eating good food, gathering with my family, […]

Small things – Beeswax food wrap

December 13, 2015 by nadel&gabel

Alright, christmas is coming closer and I am busy getting all my presents ready. This year will be very much a DIY christmas. It wasn’t intended like this from the beginning, but then I stumbled upon interesting projects, one after another, and thought that not only I could like them but also my family and friends. The pillow spray is one of them, this beeswax food wrap is another, and some more to follow up. Let me also say, that there […]
