time for refresh snow and ice ...


I can´t believe that just a few days ago there was sun and warmth and spring flowers! But since yesterday - wiinter is back again!!! I took my give away picture right there under the bushes!!! You can´t even see one single spot of the small snowdrops anymore .....
The biggest dissappointment this week was the cancelling of the big garden and lifestyle show in Balingen! The organistor called me and told me that they had planned the show too short-termed. The bigger gardening companies need more time for planning and so they can´t keep the level they intended...Next year ... (I - of course - have bought a LOT of fabrics for this event...) Well, as long as it isn´t my work they don´t want!!
So I´ll go to the Kreativ-Markt in Pfullingen in Juli instead! It´s smaller but less stressy!

Tomorrow morning I will announce the winner of my spring and winter give away. My hubby already helped me with folding the papers with the names ....
This week was kind of pffff - not much sewing! Birthdays, doctors, homework with the kids, doing some paperwork and CLEANING my windows (which is definitly not my favourite work).
But I managed to finish this pillow:
Yes, definitly the sun is shining today (but it´s awful cold and windy!) I started with another pillow (trying paper piecing):

And today I worked on my boys quilt a little bit: I joined together some blocks for a stripe for the back. There were some blocks which were a little smaller than the others (additonal blocks from the Euro Bee).
The smaller part in the front: I decided to make a scrappy basket as I saw it here.

Diese Woche gibts kein Frühlings-Give away mehr - es muss jetzt wohl eher heißen: der Winter ist zurück! An der Stelle unter den Büschen habe ich erst letzte Woche mein Etui vor den Schneeglöckchen fotografiert! Jetzt sieht man kein einziges Blütenblatt mehr. ...
Enttäuschend war vor allem diese Woche, dass die Garten- und Life style Messe von den Organisatoren abgesagt wurde! Sie haben für die großen Gartenbaufirmen zu kurzfristig geplant, so dass diese nicht teilnehmen können und das angestrebte Niveau nicht eingehalten werden kann - schade (ich habe nämlich schon jede Menge Stoff gekauft - na ich hatte ja ein tollles Argument dafür..)  So, nun habe ich mich für den Kreativmarkt in Pfullingen angemeldet - ein kleinerer, aber wohl feiner Kunstmarkt im Juli...
Morgen wird der Gewinner/die Gewinnerein gezogen!! Mein Mann hat schon mal beim Schreiben und Falten der Lose geholfen :)
