Lilac

Well...we don´t have lilac in our garden...but this time of the year I miss some.

So today I stopped and took some branches...(it was some beside the street...so I think nobody will miss this little bit......) ;-)

wooden ladder

As the show is over now, I have more time to spend in the garden ;-)

Today I took the old wooden ladder from my grandmother. After she left I kept this ladder and I always loved the paint on it telling about all the work done with it.

A few days ago I asked hubby about the ladder and he told me we didn´t have it anymore...but I just found it and today I found a place for it...

I just love it!

And I also love my Iceland poppy... I bought one last year and this year I have tons of it ;-) But as I love - that´s no problem! ;-)

back home

I´m back home from the show...I think it was a bit less visitors and sells...but I was happy to meet many friends and to get wonderful feedback on my creatures. Thanks to all my visitors!

Here´s my booth:

I´ve just listed the new bears/ creatures to my website - so please come over and take a look!

We also spend a nice time in Rheda-Wiedenbrück . There are lots of wonderful houses...I didn´t take pictures as it wouldn´t really show how great it looks in real...but I took pictures at a flower shop...I just loved those simple potts and stuff...;-)

the day before...

I´m so happy to be online again...the router ( I guess) isn´t working again and hubby is to busy with work and can´t manage to fix it...but sitting in the cellar right now ( behind me the wasching mashine is working and working...) I just take a minute to blog.

We are leaving tomorrow for the show Teddybaer Total. The show will be saturday and sunday so we will be back late on sunday. And I´m not sure when I´ll be able to blog again...

I already prepared the update of my homepage...but will wait until next week....

Ok...wishing all a great weekend...looking forward to meet lots of bearfriends this weekend!

Fleamarket finds

We had a wonderful sunny Easter Sunday yesterday .

First the kids went...no...they did run outside for the easteregg hunt.
My PIL´came for breakfast and later we went for a walk and the boys still found more eggs ;-)
We spend the day in the garden and did enjoy the sun doing nothing.
Today after breakfast I was allowed ;-))) to visit the fleamarket. Here are some of my finds...
a wonderful old suitcase, old miniature scale, some old dices , funels...and a children sewing machine.

Today we visit my P-i-L again - so wishing you all one more sunny day!

Happy Easter

Wishing you all a HAPPY EASTER!

We do have warm sunny days, kids are at home since wednesday, next week also...
So we do spend much time outside .
Well...and I found some very addictive games on facebook...
But I hope I´ll be sewing and posting more next week.

Shoes

Today I took the time for lawn mowing the first time this year.

I just noticed that my Pasque Flower is blooming.

The Postman brought me a parcel from far away...a birthday present I gave myself lol... some really cute old little shoes...

Aren´t they just wonderful????

And they do fit into my decoration perfectly!

Sunny day...but I think I did enough of gardening today and have to continue my bears...

Got my parking voucher and stuff from Teddybaer Total today...that reminds me to get crafty!

Birthday

Yesterday it was my birthday.

We had a party from Saturday to sunday with friends and neighbours and had much fun. Also much food...I gueess we still have enough to eat for the whole week...

At midnight they were singing me "happy birthday and I got lots of wonderful presents...

Not only kids do love those balloons...I think it´s a super cute idea ...

I got wonderful flowers...just a few of them...

And lots of new stuff to read..

Of all the wonderful presents I want to show this great pinkeep drum made by Tatjana http://old-roses-memories.blogspot.com/. Thank you very much, Tatjana!

The party ended about 5am in the morning...at 8.30 my parents called and I wasn´t really able to speek that well..still felt a bit drunk ( psssst... ;-) ) and very very tired....

So it was a quiet birthday...a bit of chilling in the garden - I had wonderful sunny weather for my birthday...and we finished the day having a Peking duck at a chinese restaurent...which took three hours. It was a wonderful day.

( But I still have to do the cleaning.....)

Sun...but inside...

I guess today is the sunniest and warmest day of this year...22°C...but I´m just spending my time inside doing lots of cleaning.
Is it only with my three boys, or is it normal you clean in the morning while they are at school and if they are home again it only takess a few hours ( one may be enough) and it looks much worse than before.....
And let them play outside doesn´t really help....tryed it...so they come in every 5 minutes to get something to play with...or to show to friends...or to fill water in something...oops...forgot to put off the shoes...ooops...some water on the floor...oops...some sand on the floor...etc
Anyway...today I did a complete cleaning..( ok...windows will follow next week lol) ...
Tomorrow I´ll have to prepare the food for the evening...soon my sister in law will be visiting us and in the afternoon there will be the party to celebrate into my birthday on sunday.
While cleaning today I also did some (re-)decorating...

Ah....and yesterday I took a little time to create this new sign...

Bye...have a sunny weekend...

Spring and sun

over here!

Hope you´ll get some sun too!

I really enjoy all the flowers getting more each day...

I just finished two more bears - wow ---I´m really proud of me being so crafty at the moment, as there are only about two weeks left til the Teddybaer Total...

But I Still have to "age" the new ones...so here´s a sneak peek of the last bear I finished last week.

I nearly did run out of my prefered fabric...but today I just got some new...so...let´s keep on be crafty !

Sunny greetings -

Marion
