Evening / corner view

Little piece of nature on the hill above Žižkov. The town is there, hidden in the dark, you see the silhouettes of the rooftops.

More of the corner view see Jane.

Brooches

I made few embroidered brooches from felt. They suit Dominik and they suit grown ups, too. Dominik doesn't demonstrate them on this picture though. He is showing off his new gloves.

Žižkov

Trains don't go anymore through Žižkov. Now they have a tunnel to run through. I can't remember if it felt romantic or not to have trains behind the house, although our house is further from the track, it was kind of a strange experience to sit in one of the pubs there and to to feel the train crossing your back every 20 minutes. The place was shivering, glasses at the table moving slowly along.
For a year or so the rails are gone and the track has been turned into a bicycle path. They also pulled down one of the two bridges crossing diagonally the main street high above peoples' heads. I think that it is pity. The bigger one stayed. AND now, walking there, I can see what I wasn't allowed before.
What is it like to have an apartment under the roof there? It is some seventh floor or so, high and noisy, but what is the room there with those cubist windows shaped like?


Strange stairs, you will never see them from the street, this is taken from the bridge above the street. They look like they fall as soon as someone steps on them and see? They don't. Another strange thing is that they don't lead anywhere, there is no door at the bottom. Where is she going?
The back sides of the houses. The turned away faces.

Corner view / corners of my home

Found places in our flat. Do you have a favorite one here?
I found yesterday these pictures that fit nicely the theme. I tried to take my corners in the same way. I have a lot to learn. I found the page through ici. Ici is worth looking at every day, too.

Time to get rid of it!

Dear friend! I put some of my stuff on Etsy on sale. HURRAY! The sale happens mostly through free shipping which is some 20% off and some prices are lowered even further. I wish you nice shopping!

Milí čeští čtenáři a obdivovatelé! Od minulého týdne mám otevřený obchod na českém Fleru. Výhodou jsou trochu nižší ceny a snad i způsob převodu peněz, odpadají patálie s Paypalem. I vám přeji příjemný nákup.

Sweater for this winter

This time it took only a second to persuade him to put his new sweater on. Strangely, he liked it right away and likes wearing it ever since. How happier could the knitter be? The pattern comes from some magazine, if anyone interested I will post which issue, it is originally a German magazine from Burda. The yarn is, as I have announced several times, from handpaintedyarn.com. I am little curious whether the colors blend after I will wash it. Anyway, it probably wouldn't harm the sweater.

And I cast on a new one the same day. I take delight in this garter stitch on thick needles and with even thicker merino. Again, handpaintedyarn.com. Take a closer look by clicking on the picture.

Corner view / Menu del día

What is this little guy eating? Apple dumplings! They are halves of apples coated in dough made of ricotta, flour, egg and milk and boiled in hot water. The fruit inside gets hot and you sprinkle the dumplings with more ricotta, cinnamon, sugar and drawn butter on a plate. It sounds like dessert but believe me, we have it here as a main dish. We have other sweet main dishes, we eat strange here. And they are easy to make. The only thing is that each country has little different ricotta, butter and flour so the overall result depends on where you cook it. I have tried it.

I usually make plum dumplings or strawberry. These are raw ones before boiling. Bon Apetit!
