So it goes. And now I wonder, if I put a floor-to-ceiling mirror in my office, could I double the size of my fabric stash? That might be worth it.<br /><br />Kathrin, thanks for visiting and for your kind words! How interesting that German also has the word "gesellig"--it does sound like the meaning is related. I've heard the fuller meaning of the Dutch "gezellig" compared to the German "gemutlicht," I wonder how all that evolved.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06171205124450749463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653399301717513709.post-50584142949152500102012-09-30T13:17:46.400-07:002012-09-30T13:17:46.400-07:00Love that idea and the top image.

BTW, in German "gesellig" spelled with an 's' means being with people, as in being sociable. The roots seem to be the same though, because I just found "Gezelligheid" in the wikipedia which also means being with loved ones. Untranslatable though - what a great name for your blog, which is very inspiring.Kathrinhttp://annekata.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653399301717513709.post-59012724687081205612012-09-29T19:01:13.402-07:002012-09-29T19:01:13.402-07:00Yes, I do live in a split level.

It is not my thing but (a) little kids love it and (b) whenever someone comes to our house for the first time, they do a double take when they see that mirror because at first glance they just think we have a very big kitchen. It's amusing every time it happens.<br /><br />I love the daffodil idea. Hope they do their thing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
