Entdeckungsreise ins Selbst
Some more of my stones were still waiting for a design, thus I ventured upon making them my focus for today. I really love painting on stones, it gives me so much joy! It’s like being able to turn off my mind, and just be, and follow my hands to create what my soul is…
After Christmas we had taken down my son Christmas calendar. I had made it out of branches from our nearby forest trees. They were laying around for awhile, knowing I am going to use them for something else pretty soon. The idea for making a wooden bird house didn’t take long to come in, thus…
My son and I went to the store to buy styrofoam eggs. We wanted to paint them for coming Easter. Joyfully, we coated the halves of the Easter eggs with paint. Then, like with the stones, we got stuck as the color wouldn’t dry very fast. Back when working with the stones, my husband had…
And again I am with the stones. I just can’t help it, I love it. Today, though, I decided to follow the lines of the stone. Just painting lines where I see the stone is giving me some to follow. On top was left space for a little face. Later, when I looked at it…
My son ordered glasses the other day, as he had seen it on some kids in carnival costumes. I took some metal wires, different kinds of forceps, and tape. Shaping the wire wasn’t the most easy, nor was fixing it so that it wouldn’t hurt my son later when putting the glasses on. In order to…

I had to finalize those trousers for Maxi, my son’s puppet. It wasn’t so much to think about but adding more of the wool on top of the trousers. Since it was too wide on the waist and too long on the legs, it wouldn’t make it worse to add something on the top. Once I…
The struggle with the crocheted trousers for Maxi continues. No matter how I put it, nor how long I crochet, I just see no end in sight with this puppet trousers. What I do know at this point is that the trousers is way to wide for Maxi. In a way that is not problematic…
For 4 years I am dragging along two plastic bags full of wool pieces. I got it once on Ebay from a person who obviously does a lot of wool work (making sweaters, scarfs, hats etc.). Since my little son has a puppet called Maxi, who owns only a tiny diaper and a bib, I…
Our stone paint project continues. Today finally all the layering of base paint for our stones had dried, thus we could go on with painting the stones according at our discretion. My son was in his element. He enjoyed painting so much so that, after he had additionally painted a cardboard, he also began painting his…
