Yeah he is back from Australia – and aha- he is a Swans Fan…mmmhhh – might be the red white pattern of Rutgers University that was appealing ;)

*154/365*

And a new instrument added to the collection – funny!

 *155/365*

I love that they kept those old advertisments over the years on this house in my neighborhood

*156/365*

We decorated the hallway for our neighbor’s wedding- Lot’s of fun and the hallway looks nice :)

Here are my photos of last week and Yeah – again a long weekend- I love May :) I do have (there is  a German word) leisure Stress

Hier sind meine Fotos der letzten Woche und yippeah – wieder ein langes Wochenende – ich liebe den Mai :) Ich habe sozusagen Freizeitstress- LOL

*145/365*

Met my friend A. with her little daughter. It was a fun afternoon.

*146/365*

May 26-2009: Unbelieveable the ballot for the European Election – is almost as tall as I am. Some very excotic parties on there.

*147/365*

Yearly condominium owner’s meeting. Lot’s of paperwork and preparation – celebrated with a nice pub visit with all the nice neighbors :)

*148/365*

Niles took over the construction supervision. He is staring at the craftsmen the whole day- almost with an objurgatory look. LOL

*149/365*

I love this looney rabbit…hahaha- cracks me up!

*150/365*

Girl’s day- such fun! Should do this more often :)

*151/365*

Whirlwind week – but fun. Here are the photos :)

Wirbelwind-Woche -aber spaßig. Hier sind die Photos :)

*138/365*

I gave in….LOL -I refused for  a long time but now I’m on Twitter too -it is fun and it is your own decision how active you are. you can follow me here if you want :)

*139/365*

mmhhhh- fresh basil – I love the smell and taste. Fresh Pesto all the way :)

*140/365*

The carpenter brought our new table and the new bench. I love it and it is going to be so much more room when we have guests.

*141/365*

Bye, bye old fridge. You were a trooper – a real cool inhabitant – sad to see you go!

*142/365*

Welcome new fridge! Wow- you are handsome …and so quite and…even cooler than the old fridge.

*143/365*

This cracks me up. My godson J. yesterday. He made the funniest sounds while laughing too. Such a cutie! To bad there is a shadow in the face. I also met my other big godson L. yesterday – it is fun to be an auntie :)

I got my new bike. I love it – it is very light, simple and sporty. Dear BikeThief….don’t touch it…touching time is over!!!!

I see a sunny and creative day ahead…can’t wait! Wishing you a gorgeous day!

Ich habe einen sonnigen und kreativen Tag vor mir…kann es kaum erwarten! Wünsche Euch ebenfalls einen grandiosen Tag!

Nat

What a week! Really crazy, painful and funny. See yourself :)

Was für eine Woche! Verrückt, schmerzhaft and lustig. See yourself :)

*131/365*

That is pretty much how I can describe my day. Painful. A wryneck – and it actually was hurtful  the whole week.

*132/365*

My sweet friend Daphne send me this bag she sewed for me. It is so so cool. You can see some better pictures of the bag on her blog here.

*133/365*

Our little Duck Collection. I guess I need a black St. Pauli Duck :)

*134/365*

I met my friend Thomas for lunch and he had his new puppy Erich with him. Needless to say that I wasn’t able to steal Erich…Thomas didn’t let me. Isn’t that a cutie?

*135/365*

I love going into my favorite little book store and buying a whole stuck of new wonderful smelling books. Can’t wait to dig in :)

*136/365*

Workshop at ScrapbookKings – more photos to follow. I love teaching at their place – if feels home and is so wonderfully organized. And I love meeting the girls again :) It was a crazy day. Later cocktails with friends at the harbour, Dinner and a stolen bike. As I said on Facebook already:

Dear Bikethief, I hope my bike broke last night + bad Karma is getting back at you! Grrrrr – my name is Indigo Montoya…prepare to die

*137/365*

After a fun but short visit by two friends from Switzerland we had a wonderful evening with friends. 2 Americans, 2 Germans, 1 Danish and 1 Italian. hehehe- such a fun photo. Look how they all look as if they just can’t take this plate of German Food- that actually my husband prepared. LOL. They loved it though and had twice servings :)

so that was it…hope you have a gorgeous start into the week!

So das wars…ich hoffe Ihr habt einen wunderbaren Start in die Woche!

Nat

Another week gone by – and I share it with you as usual :)

Wieder eine Woche vorbei und ich teile diese wie immer mit Euch :)

*124/365*

Meeting my friend Sandra after quite a while. It was fun!

*125/365*

So- there it is: the scaffolding for the next six weeks – right in front of my studio and our living room. I guess I will hate it…I have to admit that I love having my privacy and having people in front of the window for six weeks is not going to be my favorite thing. LOL

*126/365*

Working on a project :)

*127/365*

How funny- I spied this on the scaffolding.

*128/365*

It looked like the end of the world. When I came back from teaching a workshop for kiddos at Liz’ and got out of the train it went dark and started pouring. As you can see nobody is on the street- we all tried to hide under roofs and shop entrances. It was crazy. I got soaking wet, well I was better off then the skydiver at the harbour birthday who was found 40 km (25 Miles) away from the point he was suppposed to land (he was ok!).

*129/365*

And the next day – gorgeous weather. We went to buy even more plants and stuff for the terrasse and had a very good day outside. So the summer can come :)

*130/365*

Every five years I get the urge to take a look at the harbour birthday – where you usually only find tourists. I didn’t like it as usual – too crowded , to many drunk people early on the day and to cheesy music. But the fairy wheel right next to the train station with an overlook over the harbour was pretty cool! So…see you in five years- LOL

Ich wünsche Euch einen tollen Wochenanfang!!!

Wishing you a gorgeous start into the new week!!!

Blue Sky- nothing but Blue Sky- from our livingroom up to the terrace!

*111/365*

Ok. ok, I got it…you want fresh water now :)

*112/365*

A colorful and creative day.

*113/365*

Ready to go – this is how I see me feet – LOL

*114/365*

Arrived in Reisbach, Bavaria. Little walk with the dog.

*115/365*

The place I taught the workshops at- such a cool old brewery.

*116/365*

Munich Marienplatz …WeissbierCam

What a week – just the weather makes it a favorite so far :)

Was für eine Woche – alleine schon das geniale Wetter macht sie zu einer meiner Lieblingswochen :)

*96/365*

Project Apartment 2.0 continues – so we decided for the middle lamp – well three of those for over our kitchen counter.

*97/365*

It is back!!! YEah- took two years but finally there it is again!

*98/365*

The weather starts to be really good- I see a lot of days on the roof deck ahead.

*99/365*

I love our little ritual of meeting regularly for lunch to catch up. My friend C. and my godson  – he flirted with me- soooo cute!

*100/365*

We did a bicycle tour through the city and saw this on a house in Altona which is going to be demolished. Love the colors.

*101/365*

First Grilling on the deck – here is our Hamburger- Cam :)

*102/365*

Planting and cleaning and then relaxing. Love this photo :)

It was the first weekend in weeks that my husband I were able to spend together and at home- ahhhh – Loved it :-) And here are the photos of my past week.

Es war das erste Wochenende seit langem, dass mein Mann und ich mal wieder zusammen und zuhause verbringen konnten – ahhhh – soooo schön :-) Und hier nun die Fotos der vergangenen Woche.

*89/365*

I spent most of the evening editing photos from Denmark and NYC. It will pay out later I guess- LOL- when I actually find the photos I want to see and print.

*90/365*

No doubt – I’m getting older….mmmmmmpfhhhh

*91/365*

Buttercups are my favorite Spring Flowers- I got 50 for 7EUR – not bad :)

*92/365*

How fun – Christiane and Dina Wakley visited me at home and then we went out to eat at a Turkish place in the Neighborhood outside. It was a lot of fun!

*93/365*

Spring time is rhubarb time :-)

*94/365*

We had a wonderful saturday looking for a nice new table and some lamps for our kitchen and come along this awesome graffiti in a sidestreet – love the colors.

*95/365*

Rhubarb Pie- fresh out of the oven – can’t wait to try this new pie experiment of mine. Hope it is edible :)
