Happy Snaps: Berlin

So we landed last night and this morning we were up nice and early as C is flying to the States for work! After the early morning start I didn't go back to bed but enjoyed the peace of a Sunday morning, it was really rather beautiful. I've already collected two whiney cats from the cattery, done a shop and some washing, and now I'm sat down with a cup of tea.

We had a lovely day in Berlin yesterday, in the end we were just peaceful and drifted around, sitting by the river for quite some time.












Of course I managed to get back to two of my favourite yarn shops :) The one pictured is  my absolute favourite, loops Maschenpower. They have such beautiful yarn, next time I visit I'm going to make sure I have a project in mind so I can indulge. I bought the three balls of 'Pico' pictured above, 100% cotton for just €1.50! The other cotton came from here, which is more of a sewing shop to be honest but has some good woolly bargains :) I hate to mention the Chr word, but these are earmarked for a few presents - I think I need to get a move on! At least while C is away I can start on his stuff ;)

Happy Sunday, I hope it's as sunny whereever you are as it looks to be here :)

    Beautiful pictures! It has been some time since I last have been in Berlin - perhaps I need to have another look around!

    The yarn shop looks stunning... I reckon I totally have to come and visit this shop!

    Take care

    We used to have a cat and he was always very vocal when we picked him up from the cattery after we'd been away, telling us off for leaving him, no doubt. Your photos are lovely, and that yarn shop looks wonderful, I think I could spend a good few hours in there.

      Hehe I think they have forgiven me now, but I've had a cat shaped shadow pretty much constantly since we got back. One seems to think that she is going away again so has taken to hiding out somewhere :S
