Very simple pattern

That's what I started with scraps

to occupy my hands while talking with family - friends or

watching TV -

Joining by hand is so calming - it will take much time

but there is no deadline

Mila (10) learnt how to make the friendship bracelet knots

I - the grandmother - started the one below - it is a bit

more complicated. I am often using the blunt needle to

unpick wrong knots.

--------

Our town Karlsruhe is constructing the sub-tramway

It looks like that. Nevertheless the 300th birthday-

celebrations are going on.

The hanging house with its roots down from the bottom (I showed

it in the last post) is being placed on a metal construction during night.

A guy is watching over it all day long and manipulating the house

by crane, turning it into different positions.

No accident below with the Volkswagen VW but ...

an installation.

And Karlsruhe the castle by night with the crowd of people

without us.

 

 

Friendship bracelets

I had to try this technique of knotting friendship bracelets.

When it was modern I missed it, I did not know about it.

Probably I was preoccupied with household, children, job,

sports and social life.

It is a bit like weaving - certainly much slower.

Now - I did not make these - except the fourth from the left.

You can recognize it at the bottom of this photo.

I laid my bracelet on top of the title of a book from which I

took the instructions.

We are in the Vosges, a mountain range in the east of France,

800 m high. Weather is fine and summery.

This is an entry to our property.

 

Picture taken against the sun. A serious cut will be

needed. But DH had an accident with his thumb which

will keep him from such work for a while.

 

 

We still can enter, though.

A corner of the farmhouse

I can't show you any creative work - I am sure you don't want to see

heaps of pulled-out weeds, spider webs in my broom, mousetraps without

mice but eaten bacon -

It is my life inside and outside the farmhouse. I enjoy it!
