Loving lately: BOOTS

Hello,
it it Tuesday and so Loving Lately time.
This week I bought my new boots. I love them so much. You can wear them with pants but also with a skirt and they even look great with leggins :-) although leggins are no pants - right :-)
They are in a kind of biker-boot style and a used look, but that is what I love!

Just imagine this boots combined with:

a bit casual

Lady-Outdoor

Love style-crashing

also a kind of style-hopping but great

that is something more familiar to me

What do you think? Like or dislike??

The day before I bought an other pair of boots too. But a number to big. It was one of those days you cant even find something to wear at work, and after looking and searching an hour or two, you have something, but no boots fitting. grrrrrrr.
So I went to one of those low-price-shoe-shops here and bought these boots. I couldn´t find some in my size, but I liked them and with inserted soles they fit!
A bit too cowboyish for me, but that is ok!

So my new boots, are what I liked lately!
Wish you a nice day!

...Oldtimer flea market...YOLO!

Hi folks,

yesterday was really my YOLO Day!!
I was with my family and a good friend of us on an Oldtimer flea market. What a show! My girls love cars, especially the whole family is in old cars. Mustangs, Chevrolet and of course vanagons T1 to T3 are our favourites!!! And there were a lot of every cars we love!
I made some pictures for you.
Baby-Lucy wanted to climb in every car she liked ( a lot and a lot) and Teeny-Lisa was always telling us which car she likes to buy, if she has a driving-license ( in about 20 years :-) ....)

These are the cars we liked the most:

arent they beautyful?!!!
But they hadn´t just cars there where also some other great vehicles :-)

As I said, a great show! Nice people, nice cars and nice stuff.... Jep right, nice STUFF... I found an old stable-window which I can renovate, to hang it on our living room wall. I´m looking forward of starting the renovation part!!


Have a YOLO Monday everybody!

... bible challenge...

Hi!
This is the first day of my today started bible-challenge with Joyce Meyer.
I love her speaches and I think it should be easier to watsch her in german TV, but we have to use the internet.
On Youversion.com I found my own bible-reading plan just for a year. You also can use shorter plans, or some to special themes, what ever it is great to have a little help reading THE WORD.

Week 1: John 14:23 - teaches us, that you can lose GOD very quick and it is hard to find him back. When ever you think he is with you, just without acting like he wants us to do you harm him and push him away.  So try everyday to act like He wants us, to be in his favor and love!

Prayer:
Thank you Father, for living in my heart. I need your presents today. Help my, blessing you in my mind and my words and help my beeing a mercy for the people having around me!

... living-room-autumn-picture

Hi folks, nice to know you on my blog again!
I know it is a bit goofy, but I´m really happy to have 10 followers and hope there will be more soon! Thank you!

Today is thursday night and I just roamed through my living room looking at my new autumn picture and remembered, that I havent give you a tutorial yet! So, here it is!

This picture is a collage of many different materials and technics.
I used:
- an old picture with a frame
- autumn-coloured leaves
- a broken mirror
- glue
- wool
- tessellation-stones in autumn colours
- oil painting
- acrylic painting


First:
I glued gift wrap on the old picture, because there was a nice square-pattern on it. I used that squares to glue the wool on the pattern lines to get a 3D effect.

After that there comes a long time waiting to get the glue completely dry.

And than the fun part starts!

Painting!

I used the squares on the left part of my picture to make a mix of different autumn colours. Mainly in red-shades because that is the dominate colour in my living room.

On the right side I wanted something natural, so I decided to take a tree, which is a nice theme in autumn. 

The squares I painted in oil, and the tree-side is completely in acrylic.

After the painting comes the 

tessellation-collage part.

To give the tree a more 3D effect I used leaves, tessellation-stones and splinters of a broken mirror. I glued them on the painting. The splinters I painted with brown acrylics and just a minute before beeing dried, I took a bit of the acrylics from the plinters to see a bit of the shine of the mirror through the collour, which makes a cool effect if the sunlight shines on the picture.

Because my frame was in a icky silver, I painted it brown- burned umbra, which is really dark!

I did not use a finish or something because I didn´t want to have a kind of shine on the picture except the ones of the mirror-splinters.

I hope I described it well and you send me some photos of yours!

Have fun!

...a clock, a radio and sunglasses

Hi folks,
I´m back again, it is monday and WE DID IT! My lovely Teeny-Lisa and I made a makeover for my blog. Now it is more me! The flowers and the wonderful juggling mum, that is definitely me!

What do you think about it?

WE DID IT!!

Oh Yes, we made the makeover by ourselves

 

Ok, now, let me tell you, what is it about the title? 

The clock

it is a fake but I love it, and it looks so gorgeous in our living room. My Teeny-Lisa found it on the peddlers market she went on sunday with Hubby and Baby-Lucy. It was only 7€ which is a great small price!

The radio

one of our old ladys at work took her way to GOD on Friday night. She was a nice lady and reached her 98th birthday a month ago! She wanted to get her 100 but sadly she had a pneumonia a few weeks ago, and since that she could come back to her old conditions. I liked her because she was so strong and a bit harsh too. But you can´t be a landlady without a man on your side and be a softy!!
On Sunday her daughter came and cleared a part of her monthers room and because she knows that I love old-styled things, she gave my the phono-radio-cd-mc player as a gift! WOW!
Bless you Mrs Sachau and give a hug to our great father!

The sunglasses
ok, look at the picture above. I bought new sunglasses, which had absolutely no sense, because, without my glasses I´m blind like a mole! Really I am!! And this sunglasses are without a cut, so no chance for me to see even my hand on the end of my arm *lol*
But they are pink and huge and I can wear them in front of my normal glasses. Can you see that on the picture? :-)
So tell me a freak but I LOVE THEM!

YOLO today - My living room is getting more and more a nice, comfortable, warm, cozy place to spend your day in!
And I finished my painting!! Look at this!

.... an other week is gone :-)

 

Friday and a lot of things to show!

Here are my Fab.Fives for this week:

This is my living room. Lovely corner isn´t it?? The old sewing machine is a real antique one. It is from my grand grand mother and I love it! Down in the chest are the toys from Baby Lucy - a very stylish solution I think.

This is the decoration corner on my dining table, which is really huge. I made a little agangement of fall-items. I love the golden deer and the owl!

This is the old IKEA armchair I got from the parents of our previous tenants. I renovated it with the red fabric and the ornaments on it. Now it fits perfectly in our living room!

I bought this new necklace for 50 Euro-Cents. Now in october it is nice to celebrate also the Octoberfest a bit. So this is my homage to it :-)

I told you yesterday, that i´m a brunette now. Ok, the picture doesn´t show it that good, but I am! There is also a little red left, but it is too borring just a plain brown! I just found out what in a horrible condition my hair was just with the red/orange/pink stuff in it! I really have to take more care of my hair!

That was my week, and tomorrow starts a new weekend of working with my crazy people, telling my the same storry for the 10th time now, but hey that doesn´t matter, the storrys are fun!

I wish you a nice weekend!

...back again :-)

Hi folks,
long time no see.... but I´m back again :-)

First message of all, my granny is home again! She did it! This old cow (I love her!!) did it!! It is unbelievable, and I´m honest when I tell you that I wasn´t sure if she can make it out of the hospital again tis time, but she did it and I´m so glad about that! And now she is home again! She will get a lot of help from my mum, my sister and my cousin, and a nurse and a domestic aid... but who cares - she is back!

Second - My home , my new house is nearly finished! Ok there is a lot of decoration work to do, but all our stuff is on its place and now I can be creative to give it a personal touch!
Down here I will give you some pictures of our first version of beeing finished :-) it is absolutely withour decoration stuff, just the plane mooving in style, but just to have a idea of our house it is nice to look at. So, now I have time to blog again and do some crafting stuff... Me and my crafting, we are back!

Third - Halloween is on its way, hahahaha surprise:-)!!! You know in Germany it is not that normal to celebrate Halloween. There is just a little group of kids running along the road doing "trick or tread". But this year we want to do our first Halloween Party and I´m so excited! I already have my costume, of course I will go as SUPERWOMAN - Hey I´m a mum, and I think we are all Superwomen!! Baby Lucy will be little ghostprincess, with a white tutu and that. I will give you a tutorial, but you also can find it at Youtube very easy! Teeny Lisa will be a pumpkin, my mum did a hilarious costume for her - I hope there will be some great pictures I can show you! Hubby hates costumes , but I think I will put him in his bluey, doing some "blood" on his wrench - spooky enough!... Fun in our house is back!

Fourth - My natural haircolour is back! Naturally I am a brunette, but since I´m 16, I colored my in every red tone you can imagine. soft pink to mahogany - there was everything on my hair! I did it for such a long time that even my dad wasn´t sure if I am a redhead naturally :-) So yesterday I decided to go back to my brown hair again. Ok, I did it also because my hair couldn´t hold the red anymore, there is to much in it, and it needs a break! I like the brown, it is not that easy to wear it, because, my skin is realy pale, and so I have to wear maskara and concealer now, but what ever, that is ok. Now I think of going a bit more into a chocolate tone, but I will think about that for a few days... and than show you my results. The next days I  give you some pictures of my hair - red and brown :-)

Ok, now it is time to go to bed - sandman is back!
Have a nice day! see you soon!
