Seefest in Berneck im Schwarzwald - Festivity in Berneck, Blackforest

The festivity started, with a 1000 colourful lights on the lake

People gathering alongside the lake - at the booths for snacks and beer

We are sitting on the opposite side watching the happening

from above and waiting for the fireworks

Looks like house on fire - it was a fantastic spectacle



and lasted 15 minutes

Illuminated row of old houses - Schlosssteige

I tried to transform a pattern by Svetlana Gordon and make a scarf -

I liked the knitted feathers but I could not transform it into a long scarf

so I unravelled it

washed it without detergent ...

and started a new pattern





which also meant much counting




but by now I know it by heart

I miss granddaughter - probably still sleeping - 

We are watching how son will pack the car getting ready for departure

After a good while everything was in

Making a collage from scraps

I am not very happy with it - so I am showing now just part of it

I am adding bit and again cutting off scraps which I don't like

anymore. 

But more in another post.

Originally it was a little stitched picture which I made in Sharon Boggons class

"Studio Journal" several years ago. I like to use things again and change them.

.

The flamingo fabric was too strong in colour 

so it was cut into pieces - and like that the flamingo enjoys

the water, the lake and the pond

It is this motiv of Vincent Van Gogh which I used also for another embroidery

(below). I liked the swirls of the wind and suns - or are they stars 

and possibly a moon in the dark sky?

I used many stitches from Sharon's "Take a Stitch Tuesday" - which is still running
