surfing II

As I've feeded my RSS reader with some new
links last night, I've found another cool site
this morning mentioned in kulturbanause:
keyboardr. It's very clean, simple and effective
- I love it!

surfing

I should have gone to bed last night, but I didn't
even if I was dead tired. First I just couldn't stop
to surf the WWW. I don't even know anymore,
where I've really started, but here are some cool
sites I wanna share with you:

• I first found Kristofer Ström at You Tube
  as I saw the day's suggestion through
  iGoogle, when I thought "WOW!" and start
  to digg and found even more great videos.

• Following links after links I've found an
  unusual fashion presentation of Alyson Fox.

• And finally I landed on a site I've bookmarked
  a long time ago: COLOURlovers. But this time
  I've registered myself and made a couple of
  palettes and patterns. This site is so funny.
  Look - I was cooler than a cucumber *lol*
  
  

dancer

Instead of going to bed I've made another
sculpture on Friday night. It begun again
without any direction. As the face was finished,
I thought, it looked a bit like a Wayang golek.
It became quite manly, even if I wanted to make
a woman's face.

I have to think of Olive as I made the hair, so
as my son said, "it looks a bit funny" :D
Well, I need to study ears and nose better for
the next time - not really happy about them.

I think, it's a man, who is in disguise as a woman.
Maybe he's dancing a traditional Javanese dance.
Maybe someone, whom I've met in the past.
Who knows - the clay always took it's own life :)
My hands was only the instruments...

BIG surprise

I was preparing myself to go to the city this
noon, as suddenly the door bell rang. My son
pick up the phone and said, it was the postman.

I was surprised - I opened up the door and
waited for him to come up. My brain started to
browse all corners in my memory, but couldn't
tell me, which supply I've ordered and has not
yet arrived. As he was upstairs, I was even
more surprised to see how big it was!!! The big
question mark on my face has even confused
the postman for a minute *lol*
After looking at the sender address, my brain
slowly began to understand (still very amazed,
that the Secret Santa is becoming real :)) and
a BIG smile replaced the question mark on my
face.



Thank you, Mitsy, for organizing this so perfectly
and thank you, my Secret Santa, for this big
surprise!! I will wait. Yes, I'm VERY curious, but
I will wait. Maybe till Christmas, but maybe only
till Sinterklaas day (I remember visiting him as
I was still small :)). Let's see, how curious I am ;)
I know, some of the EuropeanStreetTeam members
are even more curious than me :D Ha! But you all
have to wait too!! It's more exciting, if you still
don't know, who my Secret Santa is at the moment
*cheeky grin*

a little guest

A sweet, little guest has come to visit me during
a photo session this afternoon :) First she was
shy and didn't move too much, as I start to take
photos of her. After a while she enjoyed it (well
at least I think so ;)), before she had enough of
it though. So, here's the photo story...

chocolate cookies

Don't you love chocolate cookies? I do!
You'd better learn some German to understand
the receipt or ask my best friend Leo for a help ;)



Edit 2008.11.19:
Music by: Wise Guys (there's also an English
version of this song on their CD)
Video by: smilingp@YouTube (his website seems
not to work at the moment)

alter ego

Inspired & motivated by Laura's words, I've
decided to make a second blog. A photo blog.
Colors 'n Patterns is about collecting inspirations,
which attract my eyes.

The reason why I don't put the photos just as
a new series in here is because I want to show
the photo as they are, not in square format as
here and to organize them differently. I'm
having fun to keep it alive these days and I
hope, I don't loose the fun too soon (I get
bored easily - you know that ;)).

The first photo was my organic waste of the
morning. The colors have attracted me.

aubrey

I was so excited, as the postman rang today.
It's not just because of the supplies I've been
waiting for. The main reason was a sweet little
guy - Aubrey.



I've found his brother and sister on Flickr last
year and felt in love. Since then I've been lurking
at littlecottonrabbits' Etsy shop and blog shop
to wait for my opportunity. Many times I've
failed - slow as I am -, but last Sunday I finally
succeeded to adopt Aubrey. I'm so happy to
have him! It's the sweetest gift I've made myself
since a long time. I used to collect plush (oh yes,
half of my bed was full of plush :D). And Julie
is simply one of the best toy knitters I know.

choir weekend

Last weekend I was away with my choir. We went
to the Northern Alps. I simply love the surroundings
of the house, where we lived. The mountain, the
valley, the air and not to forget the food!! We
have a member, who loves to cook. She always
prepared something special together with some
other members. It was Asian food this time -
a 6 course meal!!! Oh, so yummy - I
ate too much for sure ^_^


More pictures..

It's always like a short holiday for me, even if
we mostly worked very hard during those days
till late in the evening and went nowhere, but
only for a short walk. We worked on our songs
as well as on our choreography, as we'll be
having a concert next week.




I couldn't stand to take some pictures around
the house, as I saw some 'kitschy' motives.
Well, not kitschy actually, but I've seen them so
many times everywhere and still they are so
tempting :)



Before I left for the weekend, I've listed my
entry for the EST weekly challenge, which was
hosted by creationsbyeve. The theme was
Africa.

cut

At the end of last Thursday, I watched the DVD
Into Great Silence, a film about the Carthusian
Order. But I just couldn't really concentrate
myself on the movie - it's too quiet. So, I decided
to make another thing out of clay. It's a cut face
- like a mask - to hung on the wall.



In the morning my hair was cut too. Now I feel
like a school girl again ^_^
