Severe Pain In Back Left Side Above Waist

.... / Flap on ...

So, nun hat auch Noah seine eigene Katzenklappe. Allerdings führt dieses Törchen nicht ins Paradies, sondern in das Vorzimmer des Paradieses *grins*. Es ist eine kleine Abstellkammer vor dem Haus, welche aber immerhin trocken, mehr oder weniger warm und mit einem flauschig weichen Katzenkorb ausgestattet ist. Jetzt müsste Mr. Noah understand just how the part works.

Finally Noah has his own cat flap. Well this little door does not lead to the paradise but to the Ante Room of paradise * lol *. It's a little store room in front of our entrance, but it's warm, dry and contains a cozy cat basket. Now only Mr. Noah has to understand how it works to get through it. Let's have a look.

"Grmpf ... how stupid is this just part of?"

"Grrrr ... how does this stupid thing get open? "

Let me raussssssss!

Let me out !!!!!
"Phew." A fresh geschlüpfter Kater.

Well done! A newly hatched cat boy.

"Hmmm und was sollte das Ganze jetzt?" Naja, Noah gehört nicht zu den schlausten aller Katern, aber wir kriegen das auch noch hin, dass er selber rein geht... raus klappt ja jetzt schon mal. Ihr mögt Euch vielleicht wundern, dass wir keine Katzentüre ins Haus haben, aber Noah ist ein sehr fleissiger Jäger der gerne seine Beute mit uns teilen würde, daher stellen wir uns gerne freiwillig als Türöffner zur Verfügung.

"Well, what's that all about?". Noah doesn't belong to the clever kind of cats, but because he is so nosy, he will learn how to get into this warm store room... he already knows how to get out of it. You may wonder yourself, why this cat flap doesn't lead into the house. Noah is a keen hunter who would love to share his loots that's why we prefer to be his door openers :o).

Ich wünsche Euch allen einen entdeckungsfreudigen Sonntag!
I wish you all a joyful discovery Sunday!

Macht's gut / Take care

Rosen ABC / ABC of Roses - D

D wie Duc de Guiche

Habe mein Rosen ABC in letzter Zeit etwas vernachlässigt, dabei gibt es noch so einige in meinem Gärtchen. Fahren wir also bei dem trüben Wetter fort mit der Duc de Guiche. Es ist eine alte Gallica Rose und meine Rosenlieferantin hat sie in den höchsten Tönen gelobt. Im ersten Jahr konnte ich das noch nicht verstehen, war ich doch sehr enttäuscht von den eher kleinen Blüten. Doch schon im darauffolgenden Jahr, waren die Blüten gross und kräftig und das Auge in der Mitte einfach zu neckisch. Der Duc duftet himmlisch und hat sich zu einem schönen kleinen Strauch entwickelt, obwohl er bei mir leider nicht den ganzen Tag an der Sonne stehen darf. Ich muss sagen, der edle Herr ist eine der zuverlässigsten und robustesten Rosen in meinem Garten, der im zweiten Anlauf mein Herz im Sturm erobert hat.

D like Duc de Guiche

I almost forgot to move on with my ABC of the roses... there are a lot more growing in my little garden. So let's move on with Duc de Guiche, it's just the right thing to do on such an ugly weather day. It's an old Gallica-rose and my rose supplier had praised it in glowing terms. At first I couldn't understand why, because its flower were to small for my gusto. But already in the second year Duc showed me, what he was able to do. He showed me big and strong flowers and the eye in the middle of them was so teasing. The Duc smells heavenly and has grown meanwhile to a wonderful little shrub although he may not stay the whole day in full sunshine. I must say, that this noble guy is one of the most reliable and robust roses in my garden, which has captured my heart by storm using the second glance.


Habt a pink day / Enjoy a rosy day

Impetigo Caused By Tatoo

preparations ... / Preparations ...

... for the spring market. In the merry month of May will Chillibean and I operate a small stand together on a spring market. I'm really happy, but between small panic attacks: o) in front of my own courage. Actually I'm not really skilfully and the idea came to me actually not only because of my photo cards that I sell already. And actually, I just wanted to feel, taste and smell like it is, in real join in such a market. Now I was completely Chilliböhnchen but infected with the fever and craft your course mit all Euren tollen Blogs. So entstand auch dieser Prototyp eines Teebüchleins. Was es nicht alles gibt in der weiten Welt des Bloggens.

... for a spring market. In Mai Chillibean and I will join a spring market with our own home made things. I'm really looking forward to it but sometimes a bit of panic comes over me. How the hell did I get the courage to do such a thing because I'm not really skillful. The thought of the market just came to me because of my photo cards which I'm already selling in two little shops. But I did not really have other things to sell until Chillibean and you all with your wonderful blogs infected me with the craft fever. That's the way this little tea-booklet came to live.

are to be accommodated in a Teebüchlein From this little angel and the saying. Today's going on with the fact tinkering.

This little angel shall end in a tea-booklet, too. Today I will try to do them in purple.

The Luv I'm slowly in the final sprint.

With sewing hearts I'm nearly finished.

Photo cards I also abundant, but it itches in your fingers, there must be some motive spring forth.

drum off you go, ran from paper and glue. You all have a creative Sunday!

Photo cards I've got enough, but it itches in my finger and I just want to make some more with spring motives. That's why I just have to start now... where's the paper... where's the glue...

I wish you all a creative Sunday!

Using Oxygen Blenders

from small paws, long ears and wet noses

About little paws, long ears and wet noses...

Ja, ich war mal wieder im Tierheim Strubeli... war das richtige Wetter zum draussen Fotografieren, wie Ihr später sehen werdet... aber Jamila und Timo freuten sich trotzdem auf den Fototermin.

Yes, once again I was in the animal shelter Strubeli... it was just the right weather to make outdoors photos... It was the first test for my new camera. However, Jamila and Timothy were happy and a little bit nosy about the new machine I brought with me.

This is the upper, upper, Upper Zora cuddly. A very sweet, she has had a somewhat involuntary haircut ... guess that her fur was matted. Yes, yes, long hair needs to look after just one.

This is Zora. She loves it so much being caressed. She's a real sweetheart. As you can probably see on this picture she became hair cut: o).

called Stuck to these birds and it was ...

Agapornis. The German word for them is "Unzertrennnlich" that means "Inseparable" ... you probably see why.
Tschinosch not only looks like he is a gaaaaaaanz poor guy. He also proclaims loudly. He would not get out of here and to love people urgently. I hope for him that it works very fast.

Tschinosch is a real poor cat. He really wants to get out of here to come to kind people. He told me that very loud and demanding. I hope so much for him, that this will happen very quickly.

Timo however, appear to like it at the shelter ... there's always something to play.

On the other hand Timo does not find it hard to be in the shelter because there is always something to play with.

Speaking Play: "If you think I give this part of her ever again, your wrong you enormously." Yes, as soon Siro brings out the part no more.

Talking about playing: "If you are thinking you might get this toy some time ... forget it!" Well, we did not get back the toy ... he took it with him into the box.

Would you believe that this was such a cute brat idiots simply tied to a pole and exposed? Is but Sun

Would you believe that this young sweetie was just tied up on a pile and abandoned? Well, but that's his sad story.
But the joy of life Silas was the little reason not lost.

But little Silas did not loose his joy in life because of that.

sniff-sniff ... no idea how to come soooo name. Sniff-Sniff

(means sniff-sniff) ... do not ask me how this kitty came to her strange name.
Yes, the weather really was, please excuse the expression, lousy wet. This was also Reya.

Yes, the weather was really bad. Reya seems not to like it at all
"Hmmm, what I want to ..." Merry has been sitting since last summer. I do not know why no one wants. She is so happy right ne pasta with its own character, that they love to stroke play, love to, but if enough, then it means paying attention.

"Well, which one shall I take ..." Merry is since last summer in the animal shelter. I do not know why nobody wants her. She is such a happy girl, loves being caressed, loves to play, but when she has enough then you must watch out.

"Come, now do Hinne times with the picture, it's cold and wet!" Mailo wants back into the warmth.

"Come on! Hurry up with your photo, it's cold and wet here!" Mailo want to get back into the cozy box.
Linda makes me very simple. Come out, stands up, "click" and ready. Thank you.

Linda made it very easy for me. She came out, stood still, "click" and finish. Thank you very much.

This is the beautiful Kara. Pretty, huh ... and stuff, there's also the shelter.

This is Kara. A beauty is not she ... and such a nice dog one can find in the animal shelter.

The small Jamila I must just point you again. But as I've heard, she and Timothy possibly a cookie. Let's keep our fingers crossed that it works.

Little Jamila I just had to show you again. But she and Timo will probably soon move into a new home. Let's hope it really works.


Ja und auch solche Gesellen sitzen im Heim. Sein Name ist Hugo, wenn ich mich nicht täusche.

This is Hugo. It always surprises me how many different kinds of animals are in the shelter... it's sometimes a bit like in a zoo.
Da dürfen natürlich auch Häschen nicht fehlen. Diesen hier hätte ich gerne mitgenommen, der war ja sowas von zutraulich. Da könnten meine beiden noch ne Menge von ihm lernen.

Of course there are also rabbits. This one I would have loved to take with me because he was so tame... Gandalf and Emma could have learnt a lot of him.
Und das ist ein Degu. Keine Angst, er ist nicht alleine, mit ihm sind noch zwei weitere in diesem gemütlichen Gehege.

This is a Degu. Don't worry he isn't alone in his cage, there are two others.
"Seh ich auch schön gefährlich aus?" Ja, das tust Du, Bosch, aber da täuscht mal wieder das Äussere gewaltig, denn er ist eine richtige Schmusebacke.

"Do I look dangerous and daring enough?" Yes, you do, dear Bosch, but your looking does lead to a wrong conclusion because you're such a cuddly.

The morning at the shelter was again great and gave me hope and finally done and the animals well. Now I hope they will then find a good home quickly. Have a beastly good second half of the week ...

The morning in the animal shelter did good to me and I hope to the animals too. Now I hope they all will find very soon a good home. Take care ...

I Want To Customize My Marlin 30-30

From the spring fatigue / About

After Noah has monitored my work at the sewing machine in the most precise, he desperately needed a nap ...

After supervising my work at the sewing machine, Noah needed a nap ...

Meanwhile, the yield of a spring fatigue, I have the warmer temperatures a kick ... given in the ass. I took out the chunks of house purchased old chair and went to work.

While some gave in to their spring fatigue, I got a special kick from the hot temperatures outside. So I took the old chair I once got from a secondhand shop, and started out from the cellar with my work.
moss in our lawn, unfortunately, is abundant. Well, after my work from now sees the lawn, as though a crazed vole worked through. But I totally enjoy my "new" foam chair. "Okay, a little fine Tuning is already still be needed.

There is enough moss in our lawn, as you can see. Well, when I was finished the lawn looked as if a crazed vole had worked through it. Anyway, I love my "new" chair moss although there is some more fine tuning needed.

Then I am still trying to concrete pouring. Jupiiii and it worked! Do it again to new worlds.

Then I tried pouring concrete. And juhuuu even that worked very well.

And finally, this is also embroidered dish towel finished.

And finally I finished this cross-stitched kitchen towel.
Yes, Mr. Noah, that you've slept through everything. If you have noticed that cats always sit basically on the wrong side of the door? And then this look ... yes, yes, slightly demanding and not jump right on it follows the look "I am the poorest of the cat world ..."

Yes, Mr. Noah, you did sleep over all that. However, did you ever recognize that cats always sit on the wrong side of the door? And then this look ... yes it's a kind of demanding and if you do not hurry to immediately open the door, the look "I'm the poor cat on the world ..." follows.


Even the birds seem to feel the spring already ... their songs sound already different.

The birds too seems to feel the first emotions spring ... their songs sound different already, did you hear it too?

These pictures are from yesterday evening and I wish you a good start into the new week!

Those picutres are from yesterday evening and with them, I wish you all a good start into the new week!

Okay, perhaps even with the strange behavior of shopping non-urban and chocolate addict desperate to do women. Is the Christmas chocolate written down and the winter probably still long, breaks through with my wife hamsters. Okay, I admit even to have, at Easter, I can not resist it.

Well, this may have to do with the strange behavior of desperate shopping and chocolate addicted women in the countryside. As soon as the X-Mas Chocolate is sold in the winter and still long I just turn into a hamster. Okay, I admit, that the same things happen to me with chocolate Easter bunnies ... I just can not resist them.

And then follow the unfortunately ... Why is a treat not just be a pleasure ... why must there always the flip side of the medal will be held and why I feel that the balance clearly enjoys it, I pop the receipt in front of the bib?
I still argue, but the camera in my hand, weighs less than 3 pounds ... she laughs gleefully, and I know it's time to do fine.

And then follow the inevitable ... Why can not just be fun fun, why does one always have to look at the other side of the medal and why the hell, I have the feeling that to my weight scale does enjoy to bring me the bad news? I try to say that the camera in my hands at least three kilos of weight ... but it only laughs and I know it's time to do fine.


Zwei Stunden habe ich gebügelt... da müssten doch auch ein paar Kalorien purzeln, denn schliesslich mag ich das genau so wenig wie Sport.

Two hours I have ironed... this at least must let melt some calories because I hate it as much as sport.

Hier noch schnell meine neusten Schilder. Einige davon sind mit Tafellack gestrichen, so dass man mit Kreide draufschreiben und es wieder löschen kann.

Here some of my new and handmade signs. Some of them I painted with blackboard paint, so that one can write with chalk and clean it again.


Habt eine gute Woche mit möglichst vielen tender temptation ...

Have a nice week with a lot of sweet temptations ...
