A year in Instagrams – Free printable calendar 2017

December 9, 2016 by nadel&gabel

  Third year, I guess we can call this a tradition by now! When it comes to Instagram I guess I’m not what you would call an ‘early bird’. But I finally made it to Instagram and I appreciate it as an extension to my blog, a kind of photo diary and mood board. So, after a bit more than a year nadel&gabel on Instagram, I found it to be nice idea to recap this first year in a printable calendar, trying […]

Hole-and-corner – Meandering between Brecon Beacons and Wye Valley

August 18, 2016 by nadel&gabel

“The term ‘hole-and-corner’ derives from an old English phrase meaning a secret place or a life lived away from the mainstream: somewhere you go to contemplate, create and be inspired.” (Hole&Corner Magazine) If you’re interested in stargazing, the Brecon Beacons in Wales, since 2012 accredited as “International Dark Sky Reserve” with only little light pollution, are one of the best places on earth. However, our this year’s summer holiday seemed to be ill-starred and – starting with the end – due to […]

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 […]

Mind the fietsers – A city trip to Amsterdam

April 13, 2015 by nadel&gabel

It’s only a few days ago, that we came back from our little spring timeout in Amsterdam. A pleasant spring weather made it easy for us to discover and enjoy this city which is bustling and relaxed at the same time. Sometimes I find taking photographs a difficult thing to balance, especially when travelling. I want to keep memorys, impressions, but at the same time I see the risk to miss out on the experience while concentrating on taking pictures. […]

Retro look – Embellished tea towels

January 11, 2015 by nadel&gabel

I hold this truth for self-evident: you can’t have enough tea towels in your kitchen. … No visit to IKEA without finding me carrying a set of tea towels in my blue bag back home. They’re a cheap and easy way to bring a bit of change to your kitchen, a light and easy alterable way to try new styles, to respond to moods or seasons. I am especially fond of those simple blue-white or red-white traditional patterned towels. You […]

Store in style – DIY wire baskets

November 21, 2014 by nadel&gabel

When I had finished my crocheted washcloths and scrubbies I found them too beautiful to hide them away. So I thought about how to display them in our bathroom, incorporate them into the interior design. Wire baskets came to my mind – and I remembered a tutorial for a DIY wire basket that I had seen a while ago and bookmarked. I followed the comprehensive pictured tutorial of Amy and have to say: These baskets are really easy to make, […]

Antiquities, and a perfect carrot cake cheese cake for Easter sunday

April 11, 2014 by nadel&gabel

First it was only carrot cake I somehow got obsessed with. All those tempting recipes around … thoroughly – and much to my friends, neighbours and colleagues delight – I did extensive research and testing. Cakes that passed my kitchen or caught my interest were Hannahs carrot cake with cream cheese honey frosting (very carroty and nutty, adding an intense flavoured honey to the frosting is just wow!) With a little touch of fancyness and probably only for culinary open […]

My work space II – Folded book into mail holder

February 22, 2014 by nadel&gabel

My guilty conscience started in the moment I entered the antiquarian book shop. I couldn’t shake off the feeling that the owner could read it in my face – that I didn’t want to buy one of his books for its content, to read it or give it away … but to destroy it! I had seen some interesting DIY projects reusing old books, for example this, this or this one. But I always asked myself the question: Am I […]

Customized – Retro look tarva dresser

October 9, 2013 by nadel&gabel

Finally! Look what I’ve made… It’s already about half a year ago since I’ve bought this tarva dresser from Ikea – with the idea of giving it a face lift… but it didn’t happen a lot – till last weekend. In a sudden spate of activity I looked for some inspiration and help on the internet (Have a look at this pinterest board), drove to the building centre, bought wood glaze and paint … and in the evening I had […]
