Just for you to enjoy and see a bit more of my work.
Rein zur Freude und um euch mal wieder ein Aquarell von mir zu zeigen.
Finally I have managed to finish a wreath of baubles. Actually it was my son who did it for me. It is really easy to do and if you like you can check again the original explanation where I found it here at Frau Liebe or here. And now the photos. If you have any questions feel free to ask. The first wreath I had done with glass baubles. For them you have to fix the little hooks at the top to the glass bauble with glue so they won't slide off. The second wreath here I have done with plastic baubles (they don't look too bad don't they) and the hooks sat really tight. 

Ok, I am again the last one to realize that I am really up to date. At least in London and anywhere else in the world just not here where I am at home in Germany. You wonder why? Let me tell you: Recently I told you that I was painting Christmas eggs and that I offer them on Dawanda and Etsy. I am totally convinced that my eggs are beautiful. But nobody else on the worldwide web has shown any interest for my eggs so far. The one M from London has now sent to me a photo and link which I would like to share with you regarding Christmas eggs. What do I tell you Heal's of London is selling Christmas Egg Baubles, much more glittery than mine however (look here photo by Heal's).
Ich bin mal wieder die Letzte, die merkt was Sache ist und bin trotzdem voll im Trend. Zumindest in London und sonstwo auf der Welt, nur nicht bei mir zuhause in Deutschland. Erklärung? Hier bitte:
That made me really curious. So I googled Christmas eggs and what did I find? Style Fifth Ave. has christmas Eggs as well (look here photo by StyleFifthAve).








This sight in front of the shop made you very cusious as to what was to be seen inside.
And this was the sight if you happened to buy something. There were lots of people with the same idea this night.
At Elmar Nienstedt's Floral Boutique very close by to where I live there will be a Floral Christmas Presentation of another kind. There will be no Glühwein and no Christmas cookies but Prosecco and fingerfood and floral phantasies you probably will not have seen before. Orchids, fur (artificial of course) and feathers are going to play a major role so I have heard. If you don't have any more enticing plans for

Ein klein wenig Farbe für die trüben Tage.
Eine schöne Woche wünsche ich euch.

We had our cookie swap morning and I finally find the time to post the photos. We have met for breakfast, chatted and laughed and in the end each of us went home with cookies from each other. Our cookie swap worked and we have already planned another one for next year. We enjoyed our morning and are looking forward to next year's cookie swap. Besides quite a few have already announced to join us next year.




How about a small teaser for Friday`s cookie swap (look here)?
Wie wäre es mit einem kleinen Appetitanreger für den Plätzchentausch am Freitag (Genaueres hier)?


We will be swapping cookies next week. That's the idea at least. We, that is 10 friends of mine will come over for coffee and bring along 10 bags filled with their special christmas cookie (I supply the bags so that we all have the same size). Do you know that in Germany we have this tradition of Christmas cookie baking? We all have our recipes from mum, grandmother, aunt and so on which we believe are the best cookies in the world. And this is what I have asked from my friends: to bring their special cookies. This way all of us have to bake only one kind and will go home with 10 different kinds of cookies. I do hope it will turn out as planned. So if you have a special cookie recipe you don't mind sharing - send it please! I'd love to get your special recipe because I haven't decided yet on what to bake. Photos will be made and shared. Promised.
Heute habe ich gleich zwei Termine bekanntzugeben.Bei beiden Veranstaltungen werde ich wieder Vor-Malen und auch Weihnachtskarten und kleinere Aquarelle anbieten. Ich freue mich natürlich über ganz viele Besucher und die Veranstalter selbstverständlich auch.
