Corner with blanket

by rosedeniz October 14, 2009 nesting

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 […]

Stuffing

by rosedeniz October 7, 2009 nesting

Tweet I’m fascinated by what is on the inside of things – between walls, under the flooring, old wallpaper layers. The literal stuff. So it was with glee when I snapped these pictures of the doorframe once the old one had been removed. We had all our windows and two balcony doors replaced over the […]

Wiring issues

by rosedeniz September 23, 2009 nesting

Tweet Today I am using the oldest ever Nokia in Turkey while my one-year old cell phone is getting serviced. In the meantime, my computer decided to crash while doing Auto Update (what’s the point of this function if it only causes mid-week distress?), which means victory points for my darling husband who hates Apple.

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), […]

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 […]

A Day of Rest

by rosedeniz September 4, 2009 drawing

Tweet  Big Sky, Little Hideaway, 2004 It shouldn’t surprise me that now that I’ve finally got time to work (baby sleeping, Topi at school), I’m indisposed.  The snails in our neighborhood have more energy than me right now, using it to bravely cross trecherous sidewalks, of which there are plenty (snails and trecherous sidewalks). The […]

The calm and the storm

by rosedeniz September 1, 2009 nesting

Tweet The calm I’ve been back in Turkey for two weeks, and now that it is September 1st (my favorite month because psst… it’s my birthday month! and because I’ve never lost the thrill of fall and the start of school) I’m back in full swing after taking my sweet old time. Which means I’m […]

A Happy First

by rosedeniz July 14, 2009 nesting

Tweet On Sunday we celebrated Lina’s first birthday with a chocolate brownie slathered in frosting (thanks Rebecca!) and sprinkles. Typically I post about my children on our Deniz Babies blog, but this time there is a little DIY in the birthday pics. The party was very last minute and thrown together in a couple hours […]

Happy Curtains

by rosedeniz June 24, 2009 nesting

Tweet On this hot, humid, and tiring day I need happy curtains, and nothing but happy curtains will do. So, dear friends, here are the curtains I hung a few days ago. It feels like I have a new living room. I just can’t get enough of magenta, orange and red.
