I had been casually thinking about getting a 3D printer for a long time. It seemed like it could be fun, but I wasn’t really sure what I would make with it. Honestly, the only thing I could think of was

Germany is finally starting to warm up. But due to some rainy days and a workshop I hosted outside of the city I live in, I haven't visited the garden for one week. I miss it! Instead I'm maintaining the

Last weekend, I was working for a Food + DIY workshop where we made onigiri makers and then used them to prepare onigiri. It was a great success, and I’m still enjoying the feeling of that wonderful time.

When I moved to Europe, I brought a Magewappa, Japanese traditional bento box with me. Since it’s made of wood, of course I can’t put it in the dishwasher, and washing it by hand takes a bit of effort—but

I started thinking about what I would actually do in daily life if I had enough money, complete freedom, and everything I wished for. I think those would probably be the things I truly like. Waking up

Yesterday, while taking part in the communal work day at our allotment garden (what we call "Kleingarten" here in Germany), I realized — it’s been a year since I started renting this garden!

The other day, I took a little trip to Chemnitz, a city in the same state to make a ring from a skateboard. I found the workshop at one of the maker spaces in Chemnitz, Vector Lab, on Instagram and impressed

🎂 Happy birthday Hive! I'm happy to start the 7th year on Hive 🎉 For gardeners like me who grow plants in limited space, making good use of space is very important. Both the bonsai chili and the snail

I had been wanting to prune the trees in the garden for quite some time. With the help of a friend's family, the apple, cherry, European plum, and elder trees in the garden have become much tidier. To

It’s almost spring! This week I finally went back to the garden for the first time in four months. Interestingly, a tree that I had secretly felt was a bit in the way (sorry, tree…) had been removed by

10 degrees + is one of my measure to go on bike. It was the market day and warm so it means biking again! I cleaned my bike roughly and pumped up the tires as it was after four months to ride my bike.

Dieses Jahr war es sehr kalt, aber ab heute wird es besser. Die Temperatur wird bis auf 10 Grad steigen 🥳 Und nächste Woche wird es noch wärmer. Ich denke darüber nach, wieder mit meinem Fahrrad zum

Welcome to Week 45 of the Hive Garden Question! Wow, have we seen some snowy, icy posts on HIVE! For some places in the world, getting into the garden seems impossible right now. But we know you're ordering

It’s still quite cold here in the part of Germany where I live. This Friday, the temperature is expected to drop to –8°C. After that, it should get a bit milder, which I’m already looking forward to. This

During my stay in Portugal, I planned to write a daily post in German every day to keep up my language practice… but as I happily enjoyed each day, I hardly wrote anything, and now the trip is almost over.

I had heard all kinds of rumors about Ryanair, and on this trip I experienced my first big delay with it. We didn’t arrive at our hotel in Portugal until 2 a.m. (3 a.m. German time!). We finally arrived

I finally started sewing the carry bag for @pupiko that I’d been wanting to make for a long time. I bought the fabric last spring, decided on the design in summer, and made the pattern… it almost makes

Nächste Woche reise ich nach Portugal. Ich nehme kein Deutsch-Lehrbuch mit weil Ich mit Ryanair fliege... Ich frage mich, wie ich unterwegs Deutsch lernen kann. Eine Idee ist, meine Hive-Blogposts auf

The other day, I sewed clothes for my child for the first time in a long while. The reason was simple: no matter where we looked, we couldn’t find a perfect one. My partner is very good at bargain hunting,

While out for a walk with my daughter, we came across an interesting kind of snow play. It was about drawing figures on trees and other surfaces using snow. In the park, many of the trees had faces, animals
