Workshops in Austria – Scrapqueens Designtage

FUN – that describes it best :) It was a wonderful weekend, amazing organization by the Scrapqueens` owners Karin and Conny, heartful and warm welcome by them and the other girls, a beautiful location Galerie Zentgraf for the workshop itself and an amazing landscape. Austria is pretty cool  and I want to come back :)

SPASS – beschreibt es in einem Wort am Besten :) Es war ein wunderschönes Wochenende, eine grandiose Organisation durch die Scrapqueens Besitzer Karin und Conny, ein herzliches und warmes Willkommen durch die Beiden und alle anderen Mädels, ein genialer Ort  für die Workshopräume in der Galerie Zentgraf und eine zauberhafte Landschaft umherum.  Österreich ist ganz schön schön und ich will bald wieder zurück :)

After the flight to Vienna we were picked up by Karin and drove about an hour to Lake Neusiedl where we had a nice talk to the girls and a drink.

In Wien angekommen hat Karin uns abgeholt und nach einer weiteren Stunde kamen wir am Neusiedler See an, wo wir noch ein wenig mit den Mädels schnakten und ein leckeres Getränk – LOL – zu uns nahmen.

The workshops started on Saturday and it was amazing again how different the results were. Here are some samples drying.

Die Workshops fingen am Samstag an und es war wie immer toll für mich zu sehen, wie unterschiedlich die Ergebnisse waren. Hier ein paar Projekte beim Trocknen.

Everyone was in a good mood and after  a while I think even the people that don’t like messy stuff enjoyed themself. :)

Alle war in super Stimmung und nach einiger Zeit verloren, glaube ich auch diejenigen, die normalerweise keine Panscherei mögen, die Scheu vor Acrylfarben :)

We had a nice lunch outside on the terrace and it was really hot!

Wir hatten ein nettes Mittagessen auf der Terrasse und es war wirklich dolle heiß!

here a food photo – you know I can’t go without one – LOL

hier also ein Essenphoto- wie Ihr wisst, kann ich es nicht lassen -LOL

Christiane and me

After the second workshop we went to eat Pizza and strolled around a bit in Mörbisch.

Nach dem zweiten Workshop sind wir Pizza essen gegangen und haben ein wenig von Mörbisch gesehen.

There is a lot of wine growing there and they were harvesting the grapes with those tiny little tractors.

In der Gegend wird ja viel Wein angebaut und zur Zeit findet auch die Weinlese statt, die mittels dieser winzig kleinen Traktoren umgesetzt wird.

And afterwards we went back to the Galerie Zentgraf and joined a wine tasting session. They do their own wine there and it was pretty good! I really loved the concept there of good food, art and wine  and the family atmosphere!

Nach dem Essen sind wir wieder zu der Galerie gegangen und haben dort eine Weinprobe mitgemacht. Die Besitzer Ralf und Bettina machen nämlich auch Wein und der war auch ziemlich lecker! Das Konzept von gutem Essen, Kunst und Wein als auch die familiäre Atmospäre fand ich wirklich toll!

We went to bed early and the next day we had again fun teaching our workshops!

Wir sind früh ins Bett gegangen und hatten am nächsten Tag wieder einen Heidenspaß beim Workshop unterrichten !

Walking to work :)

Weg zur Arbeit :)

It was such a wonderful group! Thank you all so much!

Es war so eine tolle Gruppe an beiden Tagen ! Vielen Dank Euch allen!

After the latest workshop, shopping in the awesome Scrapqueens shop and some packing, Conny took as to the Lake were we enjoyed the beautiful landscape and sunset and asked somebody to take a picture of us. Unfortunatley it is blurry and more unfortunatley Karin wasn’t with us- but it totally shows the warm and settled feeling we all had at that moment :)

Nach dem letzten Workshop, Shoppen im grandiosen Scrapqueensladen und Packen, hat Conny uns dann runter an den See gefahren, wo wir die schöne Landschaft und den  Sonnenuntergang genossen. Wir haben jemanden gefragt, ein Photo von uns zu machen, leider ist es unscharf geworden und es fehlt auch leider Karin darauf – aber es zeigt ziemlich gut was für ein warmes und zufriedenes Gefühl uns in diesem Moment erfüllte :)

Thank you so much Conny and Karin for inviting me! I had a gorgeous time!

Vielen Dank Conny und Karin für die Einladung! Ich hatte ein tolle Zeit mit Euch!

Barcelona Photos -Part II

And here we continue ….So we went to the Casa Mila!

As soon as we stepped out onto the roof terrace it started raining cats and dogs! And it didn’t stop so we had to leave the terrace.

here is a picture of the hallway

and from a balcony from the inside of an apartment

So we walked down to the Casa Batllo and got totally wet – so just a quick shot of the beautiful house. I need to go back to Barcelona to see it :)

Oh and of course you need to see a picture of my favorite tapas- LOL – piementos de padron

We had a fun evening and slept in long!-

on monday we headed out to Parc Guell.

It was also designed by Gaudi – amazing!

See those little critters in the palmtree? They were so funny and LOUD!!!!

For lunch we went to the La Boqueria – the Market. I love markets as you know when you know me – LOL

On the La Rambla Casa dels Paraigües (House of Umbrellas)

And we strolled around a bit and went back to the ocean

and we were relaxed and totally satisfied :)

It was so amazing- I really want to come back – this city is wonderful, inspiring and fun!

Before I show you more photos from Barcelona, I wanted to show you a layout I have done a couple weeks ago.

Bevor ich Euch mehr Fotos von Barcelona zeige, hier ein Layout, dass ich vor ein paar Wochen gemacht habe.

My youngest godson – isn’t he the cutest? Well- now he is bigger – almost a year- but still the cutest ;)

Mein jüngstes Patenkind – ist er nicht süß? Nun ja- nu ist er schön größer, schließlich ist er bald schon ein Jahr alt – aber immer noch der Knuffigste ;)

Barcelona Photos -Part I-

I told you I will show you lot’s of pictures- LOL – so if you are only here to look at my projects- they will come soon :)

Sunday morning we headed out to the Pablo Picasso Museum which is the in the  Barri Gòtic – the center of the old city of Barcelona.

All the stores had shutters which were closed sunday morning and on top there was often Graffiti – not always illegal graffiti – since it seemed as if the store owners did some advertising store graffiti on them too. I liked this!

From the museum, which we really liked a lot – we walked to the harbour.

We took the cable car up to  Montjuïc and there we walked even more – LOL.

here is a picture of us- not the best- LOL  but hey…what can you do? ;)

then we walked down to the Joan Miró Park where we found his Dona i Ocell (Woman and Bird)

And then it was time for a siesta :) And afterwards we headed out to the Sagrada Familia! WOWWWW – I was blown away by the details, the ideas, the whole concept! Amazing! It is under construction since 1882 and full of symbolism – it blew me away and made me an instant Gaudi Fan!

Gaudi planned the branching columns in the shape of a tree for the church- as he loved to include nature shapes into his work

Another thing I loved was that you could see the workspaces where the constructions go on and the plans – I think my friend Bill who is an architect would have had a blast here :)

From there we went to the Casa Mila- another Gaudi building- former apartment building.And there you have Gaudi-Lampposts with Benches on the street- such a cool idea! although I just read that these are mistakenly thought to be by Gaudi – so I have to do some research. Anyway- they are cool :)

I leave you with this for now- I think this is already picture heavy- LOL. Be prepared to see more ;)

Workshops in Barcelona – me gusta :)

WOOOWww- it was so much fun! Get ready for a couple posts with photos  :)

Friday after work I made my way to the airport. Already a bit stressed I entered the plane and accidentially put (not knocked!) my laptop bag on a guy’s feet. He yelled at me – although I apologized – for about 20 minutes – which caused me to have two thoughts “keep calm- bad Karma will eventually get you” and “let me be your bad karma and punch you into your face!”. So I arrvied after the 2 1/2 hour flight in an even more stressed out mood and the fact, that my luggage was in the totally different terminal to pick up which I and the rest of the plane crowd didn’t figure out for a while, didn’t add to a better feel. And then I got out of the terminal and…nobody there. As it turned out Lisa had been to the wrong terminal too. I waited for an hour, freaking out, realizing the phone number I had with me was wrong and ..I had forgotten to write down the address. Just let me tell you, I thought that this is going to be the most nightmare-trip I have ever started…nearly close to cry- LOL – nearly close to have a little melt down. And then there she was: LISA – LOL. And from there …it was the coolest trip ever ;)

We had a wonderful family dinner on the roof terrace, a good talk and I slept very good! The next morning Lisa and I get into her car and she brought me to the beach, where we had breakfast.

We ate Pa amb tomaquet with egg omelette- so yummie.  I loved the conversations with Lisa– she rocks :)

Then we went to Lisa’s studio where the workshops took place and it was so much fun with the first workshop – Eternal Love. The students totally put their own twists to it and it was amazing to see the outcomes. No layout looked like the other! Lisa did an outstanding job organizing the whole workshops!

We had a nice lunch at a restaurant – yummie gazpacho – and paella and I loved talking to the girls.

Afterwards the second Workshop “Tribute Album” started. All the students were so fun and free and heartful and Lisa did an amazing job translating and making everybody feel home!

And there was also a male student – Angel! He came with his little daughter and seemed to have a good time too :)

Mireia and me. Mireia was such a sweetheart and waited till I had packed everything and brought me to the hotel- which was a long trip because of a traffic jam- I loved it so much. She told me a lot about the history and art in Barcelona and the outlet of the city. She knew so much. Thanks again girl!!!

And here is a group photo – some students were gone already- but I love this. (I stole it from Lisa’s Blog- ahem :) )

Thank you so much Lisa, Scraphouse and to all the wonderful students I had the pleasure to meet this weekend!

I will post a lot Barcelona Pictures the next days- hope you don’t mind- but this city is just an inspiration with no end!

There we go :) Week 38 – wowsers I feel like I’m rotating around myself right now- LOL

Da sind wir schon wieder ) Woche38 – mann oh mann ich fühl mich wie ein Kreisel zur Zeit- LOL

Such a nice ranbow out of my studio window. Love it.

I love that I have the sewing machine set up in a way now that I can sew whenever I want.

*259/365*

I had those wall tattoes for a while and then forgot them – found them while moving the studio – and voila! So cool!

*260/365*

Two stamps are in the suitcase  – It was hard to decide. Those have to stay here. :)

Arrived near Barcelona in Gava and had a wonderful salad and beer and company on Lisa’s terrace.

*262/365*

After an inspiring and wonderful workday I arrived in Barcelona- oh wow!

    I love the butterfly and the use of the phrase “wait for me” as if that applies to the man and spring!

    Auf sowas steh ich ja auch, die Kreise und Nähte und so. Im Übrigen bin ich dafür wenigstens in diesem Jahr nach dem goldenen Herbst pausenlos zum Frühling überzugehen. :-)
