- Der Jänner startete wie immer mit einem Neujahrsspaziergang im Schnee bei sonnigem Wetter und eisiger Kälte.
- Die Kälte hielt meinen Mann nicht davon ab, die Grillsaison zu eröffnen. Wobei man sagen muss, dass bei uns immer Grillsaison ist.
- und
- Zwei neue Hauben sind für mich entstanden. Ich kann anscheinend nicht genug kriegen vom Mützen stricken.
- Eines der Weihnachtsgeschenke für meine Tochter war eine ABBA-Show und wir durften mitgehen. Die Show war einfach nur großartig und wir haben uns herrlich amüsiert.
- Meine Orchideen in der Vase blühen gerade so schön auf dem Fensterbrett.
- Entweder ein Reh besucht unseren Garten sehr oft oder einmal war ein ganzes Rudel da. Durch den Schnee kann man an den Spuren sehen, was da im Garten nachts so los ist.
- Blick auf meine Obst- und Gemüseecke in der Küche. Momentan gerade wenig los. Normalerweise türmt es sich mehr und breitet sich noch beidseitig aus.
- Küchenhack: Ich habe mich ewig über die Klebeetiketten für Tiefkühldosen geärgert. Sind echt teuer und fallen ab oder sind zu klein oder so beschichtet, dass kein Kuli drauf schreibt. In der Not und weil mein Mann wieder mal Werkstattsachen in der Küche liegen ließ, in dem Fall Malerkrepp- oder Malerklebeband und einen Permanentmarker, habe ich das zum Beschriften meiner Dose vorm Einfrieren verwendet. Und ich war total begeistert, wie gut das klappte. Ich brauch keine Schere und kann so viel Band kleben wie ich brauche. Und es ist billig und hat fast jeder zuhause. Kreppband und Marker blieben gleich in meiner Küchenlade. Ich beschrifte jetzt auch Sachen, wo man eh weiß was drinnen ist :)
- January started as always with a New Year's walk in the snow, with sunny weather and icy cold.
- The cold didn't stop my husband from kicking off barbecue season. Although, I have to say, it's always barbecue season at our house.
- and
- I've made two new hats for myself. I apparently can't get enough of knitting hats.
- One of my daughter's Christmas presents was an ABBA tribute show, and we got to go along. The show was simply fantastic, and we had a wonderful time.
- My orchids in the vase are blooming so beautifully on the windowsill right now.
- Either a deer visits our garden very often, or once a whole herd was here. You can see the tracks in the snow, which tell you what goes on in my yard at night.
- A view of my fruit and vegetable corner in the kitchen. Not much going on at the moment. Normally, it's piled up more and spreads out on both sides.
- Kitchen hack: I've been annoyed for ages about the adhesive labels for freezer containers. They're really expensive and either fall off, are too small, or have a coating that makes them unusable with a ballpoint pen. In a pinch, and because my husband had once again left workshop supplies in the kitchen—in this case, masking tape and a permanent marker—I used them to label my container before freezing it. And I was absolutely amazed at how well it worked. I don't need scissors and can stick on as much tape as I need. Plus, it's cheap and almost everyone has it at home. The masking tape and marker stayed put in my kitchen drawer. Now I even label things where you already know what's inside :)

I just bought yarn to do another hat. They are fun to make. I have plenty, but just fun to change out them. Actually though, I forget to put one on when I go out. haha Looks like an interesting January from your collage. Happy Tuesday
ReplyDeleteYes, January was good. And I've already planned a few things for February that I'm really looking forward to. Have a lovely day :)
DeleteYour January collage feels like winter magic!
ReplyDeleteSnow walks, orchids, barbecue in the cold… and ABBA!
As a huge ABBA fan, I wish I could have joined you--it sounds simply unforgettable 🌸🔥🎶.
Hi Veronica! I didn't expect the ABBA tribute show to be so good, but I found myself singing along out loud. It was so much fun :)
