ok, I know I haven't posted anything remotely substancial in a long time. Bu today I managed to finish a craft.
( mystical creature )

I've been bowling tonight. We had sooo much fun. And we won! *grins*

Only downside... I think I won't be able to move a muscle tomorrow. No, I know I won't be able. *whines* Why does fun always comes with a price? *pouts*

been hiking in the vineyards of Radebeul today. *breathes deeply* Wonderful! The Indian Summer is full underway (and yes, I don't need to go to the US to see it. I've got it right in front of my house :), the sky is clear and the air crisp. And the vineyards steep +_+ but it did me good to get some exercise. I'm sitting far too much.

Now I'm waiting for the bathroom to heat up while I enjoy a bow of chocolate. mmmmh. I'll have pics later. First I have to get warmth back into my fingers. :/

mmmmh, I'm just in from my shiatsu treatment. Somehow, it got me in a thoughtful mood.

I have a question, that was inspired by reading 'A beach for my dreams' by Sergio Bambaren. If I tell you I read it back during my vacation but only now post this question here, I'm sure you'll only shake your head at me. So I'm not telling. :D Anyway, the book got me thinking about what I really need in my life, what I want and what makes me happy. What of my wordly posessions would I get rid of gladly? What is important enough to keep? What achievments of mine would I want to part with? I haven't really started on my list yet (yes, I really want to write it down and make a list of it) because RL is squeezing the last drop out of me at the moment. But I want to keep this question in mind and not let it slip away. So I'm asking you now:

What material, immaterial, emotional, social or otherwise shaped things that you bought, got as a present or achieved yourself would you want to get rid of, part with or keep? What is important or un-important for your own personal happines.

It doesn't matter if it's small or big, or what other people think of your choice. What do you need in your life to make you happy?

And for those who don't want to get all philosophical: a meme! :D Found at trishabooms ' place.

The problem with LJ: We all think we are so close, but really we know nothing about one another. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Then, if you're up to it, post this in your LJ. Spread the query (queery-y?) love.

Just have a look at this. *shakes head and laughs*

baaa-studs

Hello folks,

sooo, I've been taking pictures of stuff I made recently. Nothing too fancy: two necklaces and a sewn book wrapper.

( gold, bronze and plum )

Post a picture in my comments of what you think describes me when you think about what/who I am. No matter how surreal or plain.

Give no written explanation.

Just an image.

(Optional: Post this in your journal and see what images you get.)

As mentioned, I have some drawings I did on Baltrum. Here they are.
( don't expect too much )

During my vacation I saw a necklace made of beads on safety pins. And because it's such an easy but effective thing, I made one myself

( aquamarine )

so, I've got the time to finally write about my vacation. At least I hope you are still interested...

( pic-spam )

my dear friend mad_n_moody brought it to my attention that I've been neglegting my tutorial. She's right with that. Sooo here it is, the last step to your very own mosaic piece...

( o~o~o~o~o )

I'M BACK IN DA HOOOOUUUSE!!!!

*grins* sorry if I woke anyone. It's rather late already in my corner. Or not so late but I'm beat. Almost 12 hours of travel. Ugh. But it was sooo worth it!!!!!!!

I had a wooonderful time at the sea. *sighs* All the way back to good ol' home I had the feeling the trains was going into the wrong direction. I hope the feeling will go away tomorrow.

Pictures and an in-depth-report will follow - sonnish. Tomorrow maybe? we'll see. My flist is overflowing and I itch to start reading through everything. But I'm afraid if I do that now, I'll never go to bed today. *sigh*

So, I'm back. Obviously. Well rested and hooked to a new corner of this dirt ball. :D

Yesterday I sat down and made this little something

( scratch-scribble )

bob marley on the radio.

no woman no cry.

mmmmmhhhmmmmm. *rocks in her chair*

that's summer, sisters!!!!

for a change, something I painted. Yes, unbelievably as it seems. *grins*

( lookit )

That's it. I hope to finish my unfinished projects before I leave on vacation next saturday. if I don't manage it, then when I'm back :D

edit: oops, I think you need a password: Pegasus.

Finding or thinking of a decent pattern for my primary project is hell. *is frustrated* Everything I sketch and try looks like shit. *sigh*

Now I found Klimt as an inspiration. He used lots of pattern and ornament in background and clothing and stuff. Hopefully I can compose somehting that I like. Or else this project will never finish. Considering it's size it has to be good. I won't craft something almost one meter in length for nothing.

Johnny Depp in Alice in Wonderland!

And Alan Rickman too! (as the CATERPILLAR!!!!)

I don't believe it. *squishes nose to screen* It's coming out next year *cries* so looooong.... But here are some pictures. I have to have an icon of Johnny! He's looking incredible. His xxxth project with Tim Burton. That's gonna be amazing.

*runs off to search for a picture of caterpillar-Alan*

take a look at this. The second one, the white one. It's amazing! O.O I'd only wear it for one photo-shoot, but I'd wear it. *drools*

btw, first caller this morning: 8:41am. I was still in bed. *snorts* not in this life, my dears. I don't even know who it was. Well, I guess they'll try again later. *grins*

accomplishments of the day:

BIG step forward in my current crafting project
seen LotR I+II (or, in parts, only listened to *g*)
baked TWO cakes for tomorrow; one marzipan/plum and one cheese with peaches
cleaned my bathroom
already arranged my livingroom furniture into 'visitors'-mode

Now I only need to drop by the grocery store because I forgot whipped cream yesterday. *headdesk* If only the cake would finish...

( ssssss.....sssss )
I don't have cats. But in my eyes it's a perfect study. *laughs tears*
