Sewing took place

And there is it spread out in the last snow of the season.

And the snow was used for skiing.

The rain washed away the snow and there were beautiful hikes, especially in the Saxon Switzerland National Park.

It's always lovely to discover snowdrops, the first signs of spring.

The sun is already incredibly warm, and I was surprised to see the first bees and hear their buzzing.

Warm greetings to those near and far.

Carnival – Olympic Games – Snow Fun – Sewing

When the children were small, Carnival was very important to me and I often sewed the Carnival costumes myself... it was wonderful... and I enjoy watching the Carnival festivities today.

 Just like at the Olympics, you shouldn't let bad news get you down – just like in life in general. There are wonderful competitions, and it's exciting to see what the athletes are capable of.

It's snowing again and I hope I can go skiing through the forest today... I'm looking forward to it.

The jay comes when there is a lot of snow.

The robin comes every day.

The blackbird does not tolerate any other blackbird.

Of course, skiing is even more beautiful under a bright blue sky, but I'm glad there's snow at all... and it's always beautiful outside.

I'm creating new blocks, what can I say? It's going to be a new quilt :-)))

And... I repaired these mittens, which I knitted many years ago with Ingunn from the blog "Bundigen" (see the blog list next to this text).

I am very pleased that they continue to be used and I have been told: 

"They are my favorite mittens."

Happy Carnival wherever you're celebrating, 

and have a wonderful week.

The beauty of doing

 

I have fabric ready for a new project, and I'm not yet sure how it will turn out... it's fun to develop something new. First, the fabric will be washed and ironed, and then I can get started.

Otherwise, there are lovely walks with and without sun... it's always nice outdoors.

Cooking and baking took place... today we had roulade with potatoes and red cabbage.

This afternoon we're having this cake with coffee... almond dough, gooseberries and quark cheesecake on top... very delicious :-))

 

And last but not least, the best part :-)) at least for all craft enthusiasts... my newest patchwork quilt... I sewed it using free-motion cutting techniques and picked it up from my long arm quilter Anke.

 

Now I just need to sew on the binding.

 

 

I'm so happy.

Hugs to you.
