Phew...what a week! Week twelve left me completely exhausted, physically and mentally. Currently I feel like going through a tunnel but I cannot see the light at the end yet. This feeling is stressing me out and because of the stress I can't sleep very well and can't eat much. I have been persisting on very little sleep and food for over a month now and it is starting to show. Oh, well enough being Debbie Downer and coming back to my weekly recap.
Monday afternoon it started snow and by the time I headed home at night snow had accumulated on the ground. I really hope this was the last snow for this season and spring weather will be starting any minute. On Tuesday I stopped by Mood to look for orange fabric for my next chair because the one I chose originally is just way to expensive, actually the shipping price was ridiculous. I am still not sure which fabric to use but I came home with a handful of swatches. Hopefully on Thursday, in my upholstery class, I can make a decisions because I need to start sewing soon. Wednesday and Thursday I had my Leed Green Associate prep class, I'll need to start studying for the test soon. The passing rate on the first try is about 35% and I really want to pass it on the first try. I really enjoyed the class but I haven't studied for a test in forever and need to keep the motivation going and get started. The weekend started with a Garbage concert and they rocked the house. I even bought a limited edition concert poster, mine is number 30 of 65. On Saturday we toasted a friends birthday at Apotheke with fancy cocktails. And on Sunday I did nothing besides taking a nap and cooking some German soul food, e.g. Schnitzel.
How was your week? I didn't even have time to check any of your blogs last week but hopefully get to do this soon...Here is to week thirteen!
PS. I am so glad that I participated in Project Postal, initiated by Theresa of inspiration cooperative and Joy of Frock Files. Check out #projectpostal on twitter and instagram. I have sent Clare from C squared W the quote " Take your pleasure seriously" by Charles Eames. My great pleasure being travel and diy I combined the two in my card. Can't wait to see what else will arrive in peoples mailboxes.
That does sound seriously busy week but I'm happy it wasn't only work. Good luck with the Leed and hope the motivation stays high.
ReplyDeleteI hope I can keep up with my study materials but I am keeping in tough with three other girls from my class and we want to motivate each other. Goal for taking the test is June...
DeleteYou poor kid. Burning the candle at both ends (even with fun stuff) is no good. I thought about you this weekend as I chatted with another parent at Cal's baseball game about our various travels to Germany. It was years ago when we were there, but over Easter and we got a surprise snow. Stunningly beautiful, and the schnitzel warmed us up. Dunkel didn't hurt either! XO
ReplyDeleteAh, Schnitzel and a glass of Dunkel makes everything better! In times of stress I get a little bit homesick and want to be with my Mama. Hope to be able to travel to Germany soon, maybe you get to plan another trip as well. xx
DeleteWow, that was a busy week! I hope you de-stress soon, burning the candle at both ends is no good in the long run. Awesome you got a limited edition print! Where are you going to hang it? I finished my project postal this weekend, too! I have to get to a mailbox to mail it off though, but I'm pretty excited to see what lands in my mailbox. Have a better, slower week this week!
ReplyDeleteI have no clue where I want to hang the Garbage poster. P and I had the idea to start a gallery wall with all kinds of frames. Maybe I need to put this on my list of mini makeovers to get it done ;) xx PS. I am always opening the mailbox curiously awaiting to see what will land in mine as well...
Deletenina, nina! you need a week off and some sunshine to leisurely hunt the streets for treasures and work on some upcycling projects and take some down time. what a busy week! i am glad you had a little fun thrown in there and i really like that print, so pretty! i also love that quote and your card looks so cool. i finished my project postal and finally sent it off this weekend. i threw in a little piece of chocolate to compensate for my tardiness ; )
ReplyDeleteOh, a leisurely hunt for new street treasures sound divines. Can't wait to do that soon. Who wouldn't want some chocolate in their mailbox? Can't wait to see what your card looks like and what quote you picked. I am checking instagram everyday to see what everybody finds in their mailboxes...xx
DeleteWell, you made it through Week 12 and I'm sure Week 13 will cut you some slack ;-) I am trying to work on my Project Postal this week- FINALLY think I found the proper quote...
ReplyDeleteYay, for finding the right quote. It took me a while because I had the little paper house idea first and needed something short ;) So far week 13 is a mixed bag, it started with a bang but today was actually not so bad...
DeleteI'm sorry it's taken me so long to get over here. I've been feeling in a tunnel myself. I hope you're starting to see some light, Nina. Thank you so much for participating in Project Postal (and the shout out)! Your piece was absolutely perfect and combined the two things you love the most - Design and DIY. So clever! I've been so impressed with everyone's creativity and contributions. You all really made the project so much fun. xo
