91. Hand with flowers

On Thursday I was at the farewell party of a member of our choir. She asked each of us to paint a part of her wall and ceiling above her loft bed with our hand. I made one with - wait for it - flowers! (What a surprise...)

I hope she will be happy in her new home town. And I am looking forward to meet her again at the end of this year =)

90. Staple gun flower

The flower I made on Wednesday (I can't even tell you why I didn't make one on Tuesday...) had to be really quick (because I had to prepare a presentation for university), so I cut out a flower from coloured paper and stapled it to another piece of coloured paper. Nothing special, not a beauty - but at least a flower.

89. Tangerine peel flower

Last week was just exhausting. So I didn't get around to posting my flowers and, on some days, even didn't find the time or motivation to make one =(

So here's the first one to post today, a flower I made on Monday at the Christmas party of my choir (which was really fun!!).

88. Ginger-nut-flowers

Today, unexpectedly, I had some free time: Actually we wanted to take ski lessons today, but on Friday the owner of the ski school called us and canceled the lessons because of the weather conditions - it's just too warm for December!). So I decided to bake some more christmas cookies =)

Normally they're cubes (which, by the way, is much easier to realize), but I also made three flowers:

Sadly they have to rest for one week to unfold their full aroma, so I can't tell you how they taste until then (well, the one I tried was quite good, even without resting. So I'm really curious about how they will taste in a week =)).

87. Magic ink

Yesterday, when I thought about a quick flower I could make after a long day, I remembered one thing I did in my childhood: writing with magic ink =)

Take:
                                      

A bit of lemon juice  

A sheet of paper to write on with the lemon juice

A lighter




 




  And: Tadaaaa =)

86. Ice-flower

On Friday I made this quick flower on my way home, after a joyful birthday party of a friend.

85. Mandala without contours

Actually I planned to do something else for today, but it didn't work like I had planned (the way from head to paper can be tremendously hard...). So I made another mandala, this time not only without contours from the internet but actually without contours ;)

84. Rock sugar

This night I just made a quick fower from rock sugar.
I love this kind of sugar: It looks beautiful, it tastes much better than white sugar and it makes this lovely cracking noise when you add it to hot drinks. That's the sound of winter =)

And now I'm so much looking forward to falling into my bed... Good night!

83. Christmas cookies

Today a very good friend and I baked a great amount of christmas cookies =) One of them are my favourites: Hildabrötchen. They consist of shortcrust (Mürbteig), jam and icing sugar and I'm totally addicted to them. (If you are interested in the secret family recipe just tell me ;) ).

And here's how they originally look like (at least in our family; you can also make them in shape of a star, circle or what else you like).

82. Earrings #1

Yesterday I began making some earrings out of paper clip flowers, autumn leaves I had collected some time ago and had put between two layers of adhesive foil and wire. After a lot of cursing (the wire broke countless times and it seemed like nothing worked like I wanted) I finally finished the second one a few minutes ago.

81. Three motets

Today's flower is dedicated to my wonderful choir with which I had a great concert today (we rocked Dornburg :D) and will have two even better concerts tomorrow =)
Those are three of Telemann's motets (+ I added an "Amen" at the end - thought that fitted well ;) ) in shape of a flower. I thought, maybe putting them down on paper would help me to get them out of my mind. I can tell you tomorrow if it worked or if I spent my dreams singing them...

80. Hand cream

With yesterday's flower I oficially opened the hand cream season!

79. Red ribbons

To all those people living with HIV and AIDS, to those whom I met, and those whom I didn't meet.

I wish you resilience, 

not in spite of your weakness,

but because of your inner strength.

I wish you friends

who don't love you despite your disease,

but because of everything you are.

I wish you happiness, 

not in spite of your suffering,

but because of your life!

78. The flu flower

Today's the day I think I can say farewell to my flu. I'm really feeling better (except for this bloody sore throat I'm dealing with since this morning...). So there's nothing to keep me from going to university tomorrow (well, except for this damn sore throat, at least if it will get worse until tomorrow).

So, goodbye, flu flower! And don't take it too hard - I don't think you will stay alone too long. It's your time!
