A collage (with a cow from Zillertal, Austria)

Soo tired of fake news  - not beeing able to belive in what I thought would be facts. 

What happend to morality and reability?

I made this collage thinking of our friend ,Günther, who sadly passed away yesterday. He was one of the first persons in Vienna who made me feel at home when I moved there 31(!!!) years ago. A good man.

A man to remember with a smile in our eyes. The cow is from Zillertal in Austria and I think he would have a smile in his eyes if he could see it.

Hannas DIY Postcard Swap Autumn 2026

 Some years ago I joined  iHannas postcardswap and this year I decided to do so once again.

 

My postcards are ready to be sent and I hope someone will be happy to recieve one. 

It is nice to get an oldfashioned postcard in the letterbox...

I had fun making them and now I`m looking forward to get 10 handmade postcards in MY letterbox!

Diversity

 Nothing in life is ever perfect - embrace this fact.

Diversity to celebrate - embrace our differences.

Another collage - I really enjoyed this one.

Hafida Zizi is a Moroccan artist. We went to her exibition in the Women`s Museum in Marrakech last year and I fell in love with her bold style - celebrating women in a male-dominated world.

A collage to celebrate all our living creatures - our diversity!

Take care - out there!

   leftover scraps,

   aquarelles

   and this lovely me-time just putting "things" together...

Just because, just another...

A collage - today as a grandmother!

 Oh happy day!

This feeling of "walking on pink, fluffy clouds" - that`s me right now.

Welcome to this big, crazy world, little Greta! 

Sooo much in love!

Remembering this moment.

 Autumn -23 we made a road/train/flight trip with World Insight. The first time with our ADULT girls .

It turned out to be the best trip ever - at least for me. To enjoy them so close, for so long and so very intense... and really discover things - new to all of us - together.

Life goes on - so many nice moments to enjoy.

I will always remember this moment with Lisa drinking vietnamese coffee on this beautiful view point at Hai Wan Pass heading down to Hoi An.

If you EVER get the opportunuty to see, feel and experience Vietnam, please don`t hesitate.

The best destination and food EVER!!!

Sending peace to a land still struggling with differenties between  the north and the south!

Easter on its way 🐇.

The sun is getting stronger ☀.

 How very true!

Still so pale and far away - our important sun is gathering strength and coming towards us.

I `m longing for a nice tea outside , letting the sun "lick" my face , giving me power and vitamin D.

Warm hugs!

a collage for 2025

This is my take on a collage . I started tearing magazines into pieces and sorting them by colour. 

Now, one can barely see the pieces as I covered most of them with colour!

Hmmm...

Anyway, this was fun.

Tomorrow is another day - let's see what it brings😊.

a layered tag

 ...couldn`t stop myself .

My crafty friend Katherine told me that she had made a card including 6 words for a paper challenge called time-out. There I was - inspired and I had loads of time!

I made this layered tag using stamps, tags, old scraps, washitapes and some stiching as well.

SO - I used the words " layer - heart - stich - food".

I had fun!

(have you tried the pears with a red touch? - delicious, I promise!)

A collage/journal page...

 

...and about turning a nice event into an emotional chaos.

Now we have experienced this 2 years in a row. Life is like a rollercoaster and at the same time like a box if chocolate - you never know what you get.

We "just" have to deal with it and try to get the best out of the situation.

Call me a drama queen - this is my way of getting my mind clear again.

Let us be joyful and hope that 2025 will bring us something to laugh about!

With love.

Lena

...and the very last one this year😊

 So, the year is coming to an end. 

Christmas day is a quiet day in our house. We relax and think about the busy day we had yesterday with the family at home. 

Everybody seemed happy with the gifts presented. 

The food was good and we had some lovely family news as well.

All in all a nice good bye to 2024 and positive thoughts for 2025.

I will spend the coming days sorting out old "stuff" and probably throwing away parts I don`t use or need anymore . 

I don`t like the long and dark January - I prepare myself now with loads of crafty things to draw, paint, glue, sew... maybe a nice collage or sashiko or watercolors with Selvtid.dk ... 

We will see what the future brings!

Take care out there!

Lena

..the first one ...

 The first one goes to Carole - my "wichtel" - partner this year. 

Happy Advent -24!

Autumn for the soul.

 Friedrich Nietschke once said;

" I notice that Autumn is more the season of the soul than of nature".

Let that sink in...
