Pumpkins

Hey everyone, just a quick update on my gardening on the balcony: My pumpkin is growing pretty well and it looks like I might be able to harvest at least 2 pumpkins in autumn. I can't wait for harvesting time! Look for yourself! Doesn't it look pretty already?

Sheego Kurvensommer Styling Truck in Hamburg

Yesterday the Kurvensommer Styling truck from Sheego, a fashion company from Germany specialised in Plus Size Fashion, made a stop over in Hamburg. It offered plus size ladies a professional styling and photoshoot on board the truck. Sure I had to go and check it out! :)

I met some lovely plus size blogger ladies  like Sabina from Femmefatale, Jenny from Frollein Moorchen, Ulrike from MissBartoz and Tanja from Kurvenrausch whome I already introduced to you a couple of weeks ago. We had an excited chat about the fashion industry and the different aspects of plus size fashion in particular, had a little icecream and enjoyed the sunny weather.

All ladies received a little goodie bag that contained a little mirror and nail polish in the Sheego red, an usb-drive with the pics taken by the photographer, some catalogues and as a special we received a summer scarf in purple colours. Ain't it nice?

And here are some of the pics taken of me :)

A new pullover :)

Just qickly wanted to show you my latest pullover I only finished the other day. Since it is pretty cold at the moment (where is the summer gone???) it is perfect to wear. What you think about it? The crocheting pattern is from the book Kultmaschen.

Miss Moss Corsets - Handmade corsets

Corsets are a great part of clothing for me and I own some, mostly in black. For quite some time I have been checking on some handmade corsets in a more colourful way but it is - as always - a question of money. Yes, handmade stuff isn't cheap but it is worth every penny and cent.
A couple of month ago Gemma from Miss Moss Corsets presented a great offer on a handmade corset I could not refuse and today the result came in the mail.
I am totally in love with this great piece and am really looking forward to the shoot it is made for :)
So if you would like to have a custom made corset or other accessories go check out Miss Moss and her great products!

 Opening the package - so lovely!

It suits perfectly and I am totally in love!

Rougekäppchen - Visa and Hair in Hamburg

Well, it is always great to know someone who can do the perfect make-up for you.
Some months ago I got to meet the wonderful Tanja Marfo of Rougekäppchen, a stunning lady which is great in all she does. She is a Plus Size woman like me and is trying to build up a network for ladies with curves, giving styling and make-up tips and show, how to bring the best out of every one.
As a part of this she is offering special courses for Plus Size women including a special event which will be held in June. I was very proud when she asked me to be her model for the advert for this event.
So if you need a Visa/Hair for any special event make sure to check her out!

It's the 20's or A party in Copenhagen :)

Three weeks ago I was going to visit a very good friend of mine who is living in Copenhagen.
On occasion a party was thrown at another friends house - a theme party actually. Now I am not a big fan of dress up and theme parties as you might guess but this one was a lot of fun and I got to meet some very stunning people.

Winterupdate (or is it already spring?)

Last week we already hoped for the spring to come as we  had some lovely sunny days and the first little flowers started to bloom in the garden.

But yesterday it was looking like this outside!!!

So outside a lot of snow... What a perfect time to spend on the sofa with a cup of tea and some crocheting stuff. 

Here are some of the things I finished in the last weeks :)

Happy New Year!

Yeah, I know, I'm 2 days late but better late then never, right? ;-)
I hope you all had a lovely holiday and enjoyed your free days. I surely did at my parent's house and with some friends of mine.
Since we have a new year now it surey is time for a new calendar. Here is mine:

 

What is yours looking like?

And just to give you a quick update on my knitting and crocheting, here are the latest hats and a loop :D
