family tree

As a kid I enjoyed the yearly family gathering which was held
by my grandpa. The family was HUGE! To my shame I have never
been able to remember all the names (or faces). I was excited
when my brother invited me to the family tree. I am no use in
completing the infos about my ancestors or relatives, but now
I can at least recall their names ;)

You can make your own family tree as well - it's an amazing tool!

higher and higher

Are you afraid of height? I love height, that's why I
love flying (in an airplane ;)). I love to live upstairs,
to sleep in a upper stage of a bunk bed and the list goes
on and on... But I wonder, how would I feel if I had to
stay on this balcony. The view is amazing, but I'm
pretty sure, I'd crawl on the glass floor as my knees
would tremble badly at first before I could enjoy it LOL



Last week we went to this park with my sis and her
family. This time my knees were not acting like jelly as
they did when I was there 5 or 6 years ago with the choir.
It was my first time and I was really nervous at first.
You have to concentrate yourself to clip and un-clip the
two carabiners. And with my short legs, I had difficulty
straight on the first stop of my first track. In front of me
there was a lady with her kids. I think, the boy was 11
and the girl 8 y.o. So if she could make it, why couldn't
I? I clenched my teeth and.. yayy :) The other stops
were easier as one get used to the clipping and unclipping.

If you had any chance to go to a ropes course park, I'd
encourage you to try it - it's such a great feeling to
overcome the anxiety that you might have at first! At
the end of a track you'd want to start the next till your
hands and brain finally got tired.

I hope, you aren't tired of my necklace though... ;)

babies

Yayy!! I become an auntie for a second time :) My dad
just sent me an SMS - my brother's wife gave birth to
their first son.

At this photo my son was just a few weeks old (he is ten
now - time flies!). I was SO in love with him, that I couldn't
do anything else but watching him while he's sleeping and
playing with him, when he's awake :)



I can hardly wait to see photos of my brother's baby boy.
I wish, I could meet him personally and of course all the
family, but flying to Oz is beyond my reach at the moment.
Luckily my sister and her family are coming next week
(my plan to visit them in August fell through because of
work :() - looking forward to see them!

Well, I have a new baby as well - in my shop ^_^

yesterday

I've been sanding pieces for new pieces I wanted to do
for a while. Hope to finish the project soon.



In the garden I found some scarlet pimpernel (I found
out the name after browsing the web). So sweet! But
since my garden is already full with allsort of weeds
I grab them out and plant them in a pot (they don't
seem to like it though, since they hang the heads today).

Oh, and I added these two to the shop.


Have a lovely Wednesday!

finally

Never thought framing and hanging art is a math on
it's own before - maybe because I never hung more
than four works in a group before. I'm not really happy
about the result, but at least some more pieces of my
collection hang on the wall and that should do for now
(it was my yesterday's therapy to calm me down from
being upset ;)).
