~ Feed my Fish ~


You can feed my fish in the pool! Just click into the pool and little yellow flakes will appear. My by now 10 fish will come immediately to take it and even get a little out off water ßß You can repeat this as often as you please!
Enjoy our weekend...

~ Wool Season ~

Weather is slightly turning into cooler and wet again, what I like! Besides it means that time for more handcrafts are ahead. The hot days we had recently were not really inviting to have heavy wool in hands...DaWanda turned out to be a real treasure box for me, too! As I am not a too big fan of crocheting I bought this cotton flowers from a lady in Cologne. They make a new rainbow-flower-scarf and it will get another row, so that it is really useful in cooler days and not just decoration. YYYYYYYY
Wool has been dyed and out came this beautiful seagreen colour! Warm and soft from local sheep!
This is a 100% Alpacca; unusual colour, but why not...
I never imagined that all chocolate variations are bestsellers... ö lovely Sunday to all!
And don't forget to feed my goldfish; if you use the curser in their pool, they will come and follow you around!

~ Have a nice Weekend ~

So it is weekend again! We had quite good luck last night: a heavy thunderstorm was raging and caused damadges, but not here....it though remained very sultry all day today...have done not too much except for paperworks and a little dogwalking of course. Leif Gizmo is on the best way to become a little waterrat! We are all sending you best wishes for a happy summer weekend! Hope to be able to do some crafts so that I can show some new treasures soonest possible! Stay tuned...... YYYYY

When it was so hot only strawberries with joghurt made my dinner!!! Mmmmhhh...
Now it is fortunately cooler again and still stormy and straberry times are almost over!
So I can get back to real dinners, but aren't they just tasty?
You can leave a comment, that I appreciate, also here in this blog, but where to do it is hidden and only visible when you click at the bottom of each post. Easier it is to see in my other blog: www.bea-nype.blogspot.com! Wellcome!!!

This is a better shot of my just done mitts....
And would you believe that this is NOT Leif Gizmo? These are Dave and George and I found them in an open picture pool! I was really astonished!!! This is exactly Leif Gizmo!!! Dave is an American soldier in Iraq and adopted the puppy. I well know that this kind of dogs come from the area and Leif Gizmos ancestors do, too. But this resemblance is really quite amazing!

YYYYYYY

~ Stormy Day ~


Today temperature fell, fortunately, from nearly +40°C to +23°C - just MY kind of weather now!!! It was rainy and stormy, so I could open all windows and the heat was blown out of my home. Now it feels fresh again inhere. And I could be creative again! This pair muffettees was embroidered ready tonite. They are made of lambswool, knitted and washed/feltet. The picture though does not show the fine shimmer of the pretty little beads and they look better on the wrist...YYYY

~ Canadian Weeks ~


Canadian Weeks here in town are thru! And it seems it was quite a success. Many artist from all over Canada came over to exhibit. Besides City Hall and most shops were decorated with a Maple Leaf. It was very good to get a little touch of Canada again; it's been sooooo long since I have been there last time.... and although I hardly eat any meat, except fish, I tried a bison sausage during the opening and it was very good! Also a maple coffee, which was great!Various recitations were also offered during the passed weeks in the City Hall, about First Nation, economis between Canada and Germany and other things of interest.
What a good time we can have here in town!!! Some of the artefacts still remain like the sculpture in the lake, which I really like between the water lillies and the ducklings swimmin around... YYYY

~ Charm of the Lowlands ~

ß After so many years I spent partwise in enchanting mountains in Norway, I just rediscovered my nearmost surrounding and the allurement of the lowlands! It is quite the opposite! The passed times I always felt the flat lands to be a little tedious with no challenges; I see it different now and enjoy it..... Y So many lovely old houses here in town and all around; what else can I wish for?!!!?
The people here say: you can see on Wednesday who is coming for tea on Sunday ...
We have been at the beach today! It was just like a small holiday...but bad weather was announced and it is already well on the way...
