sewing, crafting, learning my way
Do you love where you live and do you like the earth?
I do!
Do you have kids, or do you want to have?
We have a kid and we want to have more kids.
Do we have 10 more years to waste, pollute and destroy our planet?
No. We don´t have that time. But maybe the following film trailer gives us some questions and answers.
Have you seen this great and thought-provoking video?
For a sustainable future.
Yesterday Jan Bargen a friend from study period started his 2500 km long biketour from Lisbon to Luxembourg to raise money for 2 projects at the Peace and Research Center in Tamera/Portugal.
If you are interested have a look at his website.
For more info´s about the projects and the Peace and Research Center.
So if you like the idea and want to support him, spread the word or donate what you can afford.
For a world with Peace.
Just for all of you who always wanted to know: who´s the woman behind this blog
Take a look!
Because this Summer i do solemnly swear you will get to know me a little bit more.
Home again. But not really back again. This month was filled with 18 days at a children hospital, fever, infections, surgery, more fever, worries and waiting for the pathological results.
We had luck, prayers and guardian angels around our little one.
So the result was just a Cat-scratch disease. Even if he hasn´t been scratched by a cat it can come from fleas or ticks.
So now we are at home since thursday, but still had some Dr. to visit because the fever came back and he was vomiting. We had to cancel our first holiday to sweden. Such a long journey would be to stressfull for all of us. Hopefully we can travel to Portugal in three weeks. We are soo in need of a holiday and recovering.
After all this sickness, hospital time beeing healthy has come in a center view.
So i wish you health and take care of you.
xoxo

Where has April month gone?
Even if it´s 7 weeks ago i want to show you some pics from our trip to London.
Back from a gorgeous, amazing, colourfull and springy visit to London. We had wonderfull warm weather the whole 4 days.
We had great food, beer, watched Milk at the cinema, did some tourist visits, went for a ride on the London eye and got a wonderful evening view.
Most of the time we took this transport system. We could see much more instead of beeing Underground.
We did some window shopping. Saw great decorations and drank coffee, chai tea at starbucks, costa or nero. There must be thousand cafés or more in lovely London.
Are you in need of a new dog generation? Jeans dog, anyone?
Sundays are for food and art, when you visiting London.
We strolled over the old Spitalsfield Market and later we went to the Old Truman Brewery. Inside located the Sunday up Market. I think it´s even known as Brick Lane Market. It was colourful and we ate yummy delicious food.
Always worth a visit.
Great news!!! As seen on Oxford or Regent Street. London will be the first european city with a Anthropologie Store.
Lucky Londoners.
Opening will be this autumn. Worth another visit to London.
As you see and read we had a great time in the UK. As always.
I´m soooooooo excited.
1. It´s my birthday today
2. in some hours i will celebrate it in London
3. in less than 10 hours i will sit on the airplane
4. we will stay in London for 4 whole days
I wish you all a lovely and happy day. What about a piece of this great birthdaycake? Yummy.
It´s although Pips – Meet me at mikes birthday today.
Look what pretty spring colours i found at a nearby shoe store:
That will be colourful wearables. The upper ones are from Think. The have a great animation for their website. So have a look.
The shoes in the front are from El Natura Lista and they too have an exciting and inspiring website.
So if you searching for some new shoes… have a look.
On the other hand i have a sneak peek for all my swapmates from the swap that lovely and just married Janel organized for us:
It´s nearly ready for getting it to the post. Oh i can´t wait to see what all the other swappers made for each other. Thanks Janel for organizing this fun.
Amazed. Outstanding. Georgeous this is what i can tell you Rachels and Elsies Online Class means to me. I have worked on 3 of 9 projects by now. So two of them are finished.
So have a look:
If you want to be inspired from my talented “classmates” take a look at the RedVelvet Art Group on flickr.
I do most of the creative work late at night or on the weekends. Like now. It´s nearly 4 a.m. I have to go to bed before my wonderful living alarm clock wakes up again.
