NEW LOOK

(Unfortunately, I am not talking about the store "New Look". I certainly would not mind a little shopping spree...)

(If you're paying.)

Anyways, as you will have noticed, my blog has undergone a little procedure. And I am pleased to announce that the procedure has gone quite well. There were a few hiccoughs here and there, but the bandages have finally come off and MOTTE is ready to present her new and improved self to you and the world.

(Thank god, because that bondage thing is not the look for MOTTE...)

ACCIDENTAL INDOOR BREAKFAST PICNIC

Sunday is my favorite day of the week.

Sundays stand for relaxation, for unwinding, a much needed break. Sunday means sleeping in, coffee and cuddles, scented candles, a cuddly blanket and a good book. It also means pets are allowed on the bed and binge-watching your favorite TV show.

Summer Flea Market Finds | DIY CHARM EARRINGS

When I, on a beautiful Sunday morning, suggest heading to the flea market, I am more than likely to find someone who will join me. Maybe it’s just the people I hang out with, but my general observation is that people love a good flea market! Looking at other people’s junk and finding something that is in desperate need of a make-over just seems to be a joyous event.

THOUGHTS ON A MONDAY MORNING

It is not yet near day:

It was the nightingale, and not the lark,

That pierced the fearful hollow of thine ear;

Nightly she sings on yon pomegranate-tree:

Believe me, love, it was the nightingale.

Believe me, god dammit.

THE MOST ‘POP’ULAR SNACK

Let’s face it. Over the years, popcorn has turned into the go-to snack as well as a popular dessert.

It’s quick, it’s easy, versatile and simply poppin’.

I want to say I prefer salty popcorn over sweet. But given we are long past the point of having only those two options, I’ll go ahead and say I prefer savory popcorn.

So recently, I have been experimenting with flavors.

Mother's Day Delight | RASPBERRY & LEMON MINI BUNDT CAKES

Whenever I hear or read the words ‘bundt cake’ my mind races straight to Maria Portokalos who with a disapproving glance at the bundt cake in her hands whispers ‘There’s a hole in this cake’.

Such a wonderful moment. Just thinking about it brings a smile to my face!

And, oh, the hair! That sweater! I mean, what is that woman wearing??

SHOW ME SOME LOVE!

Believe me, I am more astonished than you are. But yes, it is true. I have finally managed to create a Facebook page for my blog!

No really, this is a huge step for me.

DIY EMBROIDERED iPHONE CASE + free template

If you are anything like me, generally a little clumsy although not altogether one big klutz, your phone hits the floor more often than you’d prefer.

                                              

I remember when I first got my iphone... So much more slippery than my previous phones. Smaller too. Definitely thinner.

So really, it came as no surprise that the little device kept gliding off of my hands and down into the unknown. Pavement, sand,gravel. You just never know until it is already lying there, all vulnerable and scared. And the fear quickly creeps over you as well. Like a big fluffy orange monster creeping up behind you.
