Entdeckungsreise ins Selbst
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…
Until today I was rather considering creative work needs to be lasting for longer than a moment, a few hours, or a day. It wasn’t that conscious I had been thinking about it, though. It had been lingering in my unconscious. When I was creating a fire department made of snow for my son’s toy…
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…

My CASIO watch wristband broke this morning. I immediately thought, it could be my day project to make a new wristband in macrame style. It took me until the night to even start anything about it. First I attempted to cut the connection of the wristband to the watch itself, in order to make the…
Today I made it my goal to use the template I created on yesterday to fill with colors on my Adobe Photoshop program. It wasn’t all that easy in the end because I struggled at the beginning to even find the bucket tool, not to mention the color palette, in order to fill the empty spaces…
I feel like a movie while my boys are visiting friends. I love the peace, the silence, and the possibility to do something I haven’t done for many months. Good that my hubby has Amazon Prime for this month, so I could enjoy a funny, yet deep romantic Finish in German language. Actually, I thought…
