Harika

Tweet Last night I interrupted the making of roasted pumpkin and carrot soup (with coconut milk, onions and garlic, in case you are interested…) to check my email and found my very first official rejection letter for a story I wrote. These days things happen so quickly that I have little time to actually react […]

Corner with blanket

Tweet This is where I want to sit everyday, yet I manage only to look at it with longing from the other side of the room as I either work from the table or circle around the room picking up toys and papers and clothes like a robot. The temperature dropped and now my hands […]

Babar the Pillow

by rosedeniz September 18, 2009 nesting

Tweet This weekend marks the start of Sugar Holiday, Şeker Bayramı, the end of Ramazan, and with it comes visiting family and delicious food. This usually entails a freshly cleaned house for visitors, too, and new outfits for the kids. Tomorrow I’ll be cleaning and baking (looks like I’ll make a brunch cake with blackberries), […]

From Australia, with love

by rosedeniz September 17, 2009 design

Tweet This past summer I did a magazine swap with the lovely Keryn of Eighty Days Design. I got the magazines before I left for a trip home to the US, but for one reason or another didn’t get to delve into them until my return. I also think that because we were in completely […]

Home

by rosedeniz September 7, 2009 nesting

Tweet I’ve recovered two of my very first, badly made stitching projects from my childhood home. One I write about here, or hint at, rather. It’s a stitching of a pink rabbit I probably started when I was between 8 to 10 years old that I never finished, and for the fun of it thought […]
