Wild flowers in the garden 💚

Trying something new... who knew knitting cables is so much fun!? 😉 🧶 #knitting

Spotted on our walk Morimus funereus - Croitor cenușiu

It works 😎

Meanwhile in the rest of Romania, heavy torrential rains are causing inundations in 14 countries and flooded Salt mine Praid m.digi24.ro/stiri/actual... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praid_m...

Looks like it'll be a day without rain, so we can finally do some work outside again. Everything is soaked though, with water above ground surface level

'Compost with the Community' We presented our workshop today to a new, and very enthusiastic group of 'compost ambassadors' 🤩 UrbanBikeRevolution 🚲🌱

1/ Most people still don’t know how to use a rapid antigen test (RAT) correctly. So here’s a 🧵on how to get the most accurate results and avoid spreading COVID:

Elderflowers from the garden! So, we're making cordial 🙂 (sirop de soc - vlierbloesemsiroop)

Hello lizard 🦎 🙂

There is a meadow nearby where orchids grow, but I think we missed the bloom period this year. Photo yday (left) & 2023 (right) Aren't they exquisite?! 💜💚

Mooi werk 🤍

We had a walk through the lower town of Sibiu today, and every time we're there I'm amazed to find lovely little shops in streets you least expect them 🤩

So much green 💚

Retro 70s vibes beanie ❤️💛🧡 #knitting 🧶

Every year wild strawberry (frăguță) flowers throughout the garden. Later on, something eats the fruit, but it's never us 🙃🙂

It's a good day to have a good day ☮️🇷🇴🫶

💜🤍 I knitted these purple beanies some time ago, with Drops Lima yarn (wool/alpaca) which is sooo soft 🥰 #showmeyourknits 🧶

Done 🙂 I altered this dress incl. its lining to at least one size smaller by taking in the front seams & back pleats, lowering the shoulders, and adding pleats to the skirt 🪡 I think making a dress from scratch is easier?! 😅 #sewing

This week has been all about our indoor air quality project proposal, and compost workshops. And now, it's time to do the alternations on that designer's dress which has been on my table for a while ;)

We have lots of outdoor jobs to do, but the weather thinks otherwise ;)

We used to see lots op ppl around here using a scythe to cut the grass, but in the last years whipper snippers together with leave blowers seem to be more in favor... I am curious which is more efficient, and am then thinking about noise, emissions, labor, and biodiversity...

A new beanie, since it is cold again in the mornings 🙃 🧶 #knitting

I think these folk costumes are truly magnificent, they're originally made from raw materials in households (hemp, linen, wool), embroidered with decoration acc. to the region, village and family. Each costume tells a story through the symbols & colors used en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romania...

Today, the 8th edition of the National Day of Traditional Costume in Romania is celebrated at the Etnografic Museum "Astra" muzeulastra.ro/galerie-foto/

Happy Europe Day! 🇪🇺 We participated in a local activity where we represented Romania 🇷🇴 We'd prepared 'cartofi tărănești' (peasant potatoes) and displayed traditional ceramics and 'ie' (embroidered blouse). I think we did ok :) La mulți ani Europa :)
