My New One

Tuesday I went to my LTS (local Tattoo studio) and this is what I got

I took this pic 3 h later

1.5 days later

Its not easy to take a pic of myself from behind. This is my third tattoo and after I´m back home from vacation I will have my 15 year old tattoo refreshed

Postcard In The Mail

Letzte Woche war eine wunderschöne Dankes-Postkarte mit ein paar lieben Worten im Briefkasten von Lina Sophies Mom und grossen Schwester. Ich war total überrascht und hab mich sehr darüber gefreut mit ein paar feuchten Augen. Lina Sophies Mom bekam einen Erinnerungsquilt an dem ich auch ein paar Blöckchen genäht habe - es gibt auch eine HP über Lina Sophies Lebenslauf.

Ich wünsche Lina Sophies Mom und grossen Schwester weiterhin alles Gute und viel Kraft.

My Weekend Sewing

I actually wanted to have the wallhanging done after the weekend - but oh well it always comes different. But at least I´m finished with the applique part and the layers are pinned together - I would like to quilt spider webs......


.......will see how much time I will have for sewing this week.

Some More Painting In The Kitchen

This weekend I did some decoration painting in the kitchen. At the beginning I wanted to paint the whole kitchen in a coffee-cappucchino-color, but when it came to it I tended to a light wall and like always I ended up with white. White and naked which I didnt like either and this is what it looks right now.

most part is done

Well - my Mom said when she saw the sketch on a piece of paper - "I dont know if I wanna look at this all the time". She only has one choice - dont visit me at my appartement then.

Bizkits dining area *lol*

Last night I moved the fridge and cabinet back in the hallway so I can rip out the old kitchen floos. The new one will be delivered on Tuesday. I know I can cut in the new floor - but I´m kinda scared too - it´s the first time I do it without the help of my Dad and dealing with 16 sqm - oh boy!!!! I´m not sure if the room is in square (hope its said right).......

The decoration painting of the other side will be done after the corner seat is back in the kitchen.

Old Car

Today was this guy here again who is in business with old cars (original or replica). And that´s what was an the scale today

Jaguar Classic Roadster 1939

I love to look at those old cars, have a look inside and maybe to have a seat in it for a moment.

Halloween Door Hanging

Every year I would like to make a halloween doorhanging for myself and every year Halloween passed and I still havent made one. Well, no problem after Halloween is before Halloween and I will be able to have a doorhanging next year....... But who is thinking about Halloween in winter and spring.......... defently not me. Mid of September I finally started to work on the doorhanging and the chances are good to have it done.

I made the pattern out of a pic

I also have one doorhanging kit ordered in August and it just got delivered - oh well, this will be the project for Halloween 2010 *lol*.

Baby Quilts Are Done

Couple weeks ago Frau Heller asked me if I have time to make a quilt for her newborn granddaughter Sophie for Christmas. Well I said yes and she even has picked the fabrics

The next granddaughter Amelie was born 4 weeks later and Frau Heller actually didnt wont me to ask for a 2nd quilt, because I´m on vacation in November and wouldnt have the time. She new that I had one flannel baby quilt finished on stash an one waiting to be quilted, so she asked me if she could have those two instead. Well yeah why not - and I finished the pink one last night and here are those baby quilts for Sophie and Amelie

(I was going to donate this quilt for charity because I didnt like it a 100 % - but Frau Heller fell in love with this one)

Welcome to the world little Sophie and Amelie
