Friday

Already Friday again...
Ok..we had just a quick moment of sun today and I hurried to get some pictures...
Now a new sneak peek for the weekend:


Still some more cleaning to do and I still have to decorate for spring/easter....

Bye for now....

Demo and sneak peek

I finished three more bears today...but had some interruption when my neighbour called me from work to take her son from school because he had a little accident. He fell and hurt his upper lip which extremly bled. And his teeth did also hurt. So I took him home...teeth seemed to be ok...but will call her later to hear what it looks like now.
About midday we had a demonstration from the kindergarden. It was for more time, more contribution and more education for the children. We had a meeting with our mayor and gave him our "lists of wishes".

Back home I spend some time with the boy´s homework, learning...

and finally now (hubby, Leon and Fabian are out for soccer) I find the time to blog and show the next sneak peek.

I hope tomorrow there will be a bit more sun to take pictures of the other two new bears.

Now preparing the dinner...looking forward to a TV evening...watching "Germany´s next Topmodel" and of course PRISONBREAK.

Spring?????

It doesn´t really feel like spring. We had snow in the morning..it´s cold and about an hour before we had hail.
Anyway...here´s one more sneak peek... kind of spring creature.. ;-)



This was the last of my previews at the moment...it´s not the last newest creature, but to take more pictures I need sun!

Hopefully I´ll get myself to crafting today...yesterday I did nothing as my parents-in-law visited us...

So please send some sun over here!

true words

We´ve been to a chinese restaurant yesterday...here´s what my Fortune cookie was telling:

"Take your time and enjoy the little things in life."

I think those true words should be remembered everyday...

The fleamarket at the kindergarden yesterday was fun and we had a good sale.

I´m not sure if I´m getting a cold again...but I spend the rest of the day in bed yesterday not feeling well.

Today it´s a rainy sunday...hubby is out for soccer and I now post another liitle peek of a new bear...

Friday

What a busy day again...first doing lots of laundry...doing my fitness at the gym...been shopping...taking boys from school and kindergarten...cooking...cleaning....cleaning the shed...some gardening...preparing for a flea market at the kindergarden tomorrow...and finally taking pictures of new creatures...


So here´s the newest peek...


Hubby just left as he has to work the whole evening...so if I´m not to tired ( watched Prison Break last night) I may cut out some more bears and start sewing...

As I said...there will be a fleamarket at the kindergarden tomorrow....I have lots of clothes from the boys...and some toys.
Dennis found a sesamestreet mobile phone and told me some days ago it´s for babies and he doesn´t need it anymore and wants to sell it...ok...but since we tried new batteries he decided to still keep it.
By cleaning the shed we took his first bike and a roller ...but...no way..he want´s to keep the roller...ok. So maybe it´s better to take those things without the help of the kids ?!?!?

Oh...that reminds me I have to make a cake for tomorrow....but first I´ll have just a cup of coffee -
have a great weekend everybody and... by way...
HAPPY SPRING!

next preview

Ok..busy day...just in for a small cup of coffe...

here´s the next preview...well...it actually is not a bear as you may guess... ;-)))

Bin working on some more results yesterday and maybe will go on today...

Sun is shining so maybe I also have to go outside and do some gardening...

Have a nice day everyone!

first preview

Ok...

I´ll show some little previews of my new creatures here on this blog the next days....

Those bears will be shown at the Teddybear Total and will be offered on my website afterwards.

But as it has been a long time since my last baer, I just want to give you a little peek.

So keep on visiting my blog...there will be new creatures one by one soon.... ;-)

resting elephant...

As we had finished gardening yesterday we went for a little walk. And what we found was this pure old elephant resting at the side of the street....

Today I visited the fleamarket again...found some clothes and a book for the boys and this wonderful old suitcase. I love the old used look of it.

I already have some of those old small suitcases...but I will also offer them at the next teddy bear show...

It´s raining today...Leon has a soccer game today and later we are looking forward to go bowling with our neighbours ( that´s what we decided while bowling on the Wii on friday..).

time for gardening

What a sunny day - yeah - spring time!
Time for gardening!
I really am not used to it anymore...as I´m feeling really tired now.
OK..we also had our neighbours at our house yesterday for some WII fun having some wine..lol
Anyway. I was curious abou what my compost looks like and had to peek...



Great...you can see the earthworms doing their work!
I think we may use some of it this spring.



Now I´ll have a cup of coffee and maybe work a bit on my bears...but my boys are hungry so maybe I´ll have to switch to kitchen work ;-(

nothin´ to crow about....

not much to share...but just wanted to post...

It´s still not really spring.... but to prepare here´s a pic of my seeds...that´s how my paprika looks like at the moment...

And for the outside here´s a pic of an old enamel bucket with some pansies

By the way...here´s what my neighbour is doing to protect his flowers and bulbs from deer and rabbits....as far as I know he hasn´t got a fence there as he may add a cistern and wants to leave it open for the work...well...my opinion...why have the nicest flowers if the fence looks like that? ;-)

We also had some deer or rabbits last year eating the tulips and stuff..but hey..it first was their ground...now we sattled down here...so let´s share it...and...isn´t it nature???

Here´s a pic from last year.

finally online again

We had some trouble with the internet..hubby was working since friday to get the router to work again...had to restart again and again...but finally it seems to work.

I´m not feeling good at all...having sore throat...could be the beginning of an angina again...

Without Internet last friday i did some cleaning and decorating...

I still have not decorated for easter...but will start to the next days I think.

Weather is ok...it´s not that cold but still not really spring at all..but I like the signs of it...

Each day I have to tell the boys to be careful where they are running in the garden as the are some little flowers growing..hardly to see...

Ouch...

Yesterday I told you about the kick of spring...well it also gave me a kick to start working in the garden.
I started to cut of the remaining perennials and what I got were those two blisters on my fingers...
But never ind..today I bought some new pansies so I´ll have to do some gardening today again!

Spring seems

to be giving me a little kick!

YEAHHH!

See what´s on my table....

Ok...it would be better if some of them would have been finished already...but hey...it´s a start, isn´t it?

;-))))

And those guys are watching me...and inspiring me.... why...can´t tell...we´ll see...

;-))
