Goodbye summer, fall started (photos)

Since monday it is raining every day. Its depressing 😦

Today I went out with my camera to make photos. As you can see it wasnt my day to do so. It was cold, sun non existent, rainy and I has been tired. How I felt I saw later on my computer when I checked my new photos. It was funny when I opend photo by photo and all looked like the ones I show here. Most of them are dark, boring colors, without the typical colored fall photos.

Has it been the light outside? Or has it been me who havent seen the colorful side of fall?

I have to go out again to make photos when the rain will stop. But hey, it doesnt have to be always the perfect time for me to make photos. Even if I like my photos more colorful, more like a perfect  day photo, these photos show an other side of me.

Hunting ducklings with my camera and spring colors (photos)

The last 2 saturdays I had to cancel my sewing course. I didnt had the time 😦

Today I went to my sewing course again. I could have post pictures of my new tee if I didnt had made a huge mistake at the end of sewing it.Unfortunality I need an overlock to end  this tee. So I have to wait till next saturday.

After my course I went to a park with my camaera.

IT IS DUCKLING TIME !!!!! I sooooooo love them ❤ ❤ ❤

The last pic isnt mom duck ! This one tried to steal ducklings. But you should have seen daddy duck. He hunted this one around the park. After this the duck scolded for minutes and I made a photo

I also made a few photos of flowers 🙂

Spring photos — again

I switched my camera with my god child this week. Mine is a full frame camera, but her camera has a 1.6 crop factor. This means my 100mm macro objective has now 160mm with her camera. I really really love this objective 🙂

I went away from work early yesterday to make photos. A lot of days I’m coming home after 10 or more hours. This means winter isnt my season to make a lot of photos because of the darkness.

Yesterday has been such a lovely day: warm, sunny ….

I had to leave work hehehe

More and more spring flowers has been out there. Also many bugs and other insects. This is why I love to work with a crop factor  🙂

Spring is coming – Photos

Yes, its been a long time since my last post.

Dunno why, but I didnt had energy for working at home. But since one week its like I woke up. Maybe I ‘m related to polar bears and had to sleep all winter like they do LOL

Whatever. One week ago I startet to work on pimping my home again.

Yes, I’m still going every saturday to my sewing course. But guess what! I made 2 things – in words TWO – only for myself. All other stuff I sew so far has been for friends or my god child. And now I’m planning a gift for my god child again hehe

Last weekend has been the first time this year with temperatures about 50 degrees. I had to go out with my camera and look for spring pictures

YES spring is here 🙂

Little icicles on my window (photos)

OK, winter and it’s cold temperature isnt really my favorite season hehehe

But a few things I like about winter 🙂 Christmas, the feeling when coming from the cold outside into your warm home, snow, hot tea with lemon or hot chocolate

When I woke up we had freezing 25 °F and I found icicles on my window. Only small ones about 1 inch, but I couldnt resist to make photos with my macro.

When checking this photos on my computer some icicles looks like they have a plant on it. Amazing. Havent seen this before. Maybe wind did this art with water drops. I dont know

Take a look for yourself (the black on the top of the photos is the shadow of my window)

The first snow (photos)

Today we had the first snow this winter 🙂

I had to go out with my camera and make a few photos.

I like it when the last flowers are with snow. I found a few of them.

Take a look at my photos 🙂

When I will feel my fingers again – feels like they are frozen – I will make a loop today 🙂

Photos of a beautiful fall

After a very long time we decided to search geocaches again and looking for lost places. It has been months since the last cache.

Whats there to say? We choosed the worst weather to look for caches: rain, lightnings, thunder. We only found one cache, but  also a nice lost place. We couldnt explore the place because of the rain. The terrain has been to slippery.

So we went to a park and made a few photos

Back at home we both were nearly soaked to the skin, were hungry, tired, but had a lot of fun 🙂

As a reward for what we went through LOL we watched Doctor Who yeahhhhhh

My sewing class will start …. Finally

Guess what !!!!

I called the fabric store the day before yesterday and asked for my course to start.

Unfortunality all members from the former course registered for the next one too. So there hasnt been a place for me anymore. But the store offered me an alternative: 3 hours on saturday. This week I dont have time for it, but I payed for the next 5 saturdays, starting on september, 27th and all saturdays in October.

If I like it, and I’m sure I will, I will go on in November with the next saturdays too. Now as a “member” I will have priority too.

Maybe saturday isnt even a bad choice for me, because some days I work to long and wont even make it right in time to the sewing course.

Saturday is my day off, or most times, so I can sleep late and  start fresh with my lessons. Everyone knows your focus is better when rested.

I’m so excited !!!! I have so many ideas what to sew. Most of it are for advanced levels, but I dont care. I will start slow till I’m good enough to realize my ideas.

This week I have been on a photo trade show. I wrote, one of my hobbies is photography. Here a few new photos I made this week

Still waiting for the sewing course to start ……

its been september and I didnt got the phone call for my sewing course so far 😦

when I went to the fabric store weeks ago they told me I will be on the next course in september. I was so excited to start with my sewing lessons.

I will go  to this store again this week and ask what happend. Why they didnt called me.

My shelf isnt ready either. In “About me” I wrote, that my free time is very limited. This is the reason I couldnt work on my shelf every day. After 10 to 12 hours a day at work I dont have enough energy to work on my shelf. And some days I have been lazy hehe.

Lets say it, I thought it would be going much faster to make this shelf. I believe I make every mistake with this wood working you can do. This is also one of the reasons I’m not finished yet. I want to make it as perfect as can be. Its unbelievable how often I had to start from the beginning because I didnt liked how I worked. I didnt changed my idea or the plan to make this shelf, but when one door is nearly done, I see something I dont like. Maybe no one but me would see it isnt perfect, but this is way too many LOL

Here a few pictures I made last week. Fall isnt really my season – I love the summer – but the colors are beautyful

Maybe in my next post I can write about my first sewing lesson.

Lets hope ..
