The Changing Seasons – April 2019

  It´s time again for the wonderful challenge The Changing Seasons hosted by my dear friend Su from Zimmerbitch!   This month is clearly dominated by one theme – flowers!

The Changing Seasons – August/September 2018

  It´s time again for the wonderful challenge The Changing Seasons hosted by my dear friend Su from Zimmerbitch!

Iris Day

Happy – Belated –  Iris Day!   I hope you had a lovely Iris Day yesterday! I´m sorry for not posting this accordingly but I´m currently having a bit of trouble with inflamed arm tendons and might skip a day or two this week of my self-imposed challenge in order to rest my arms a

Flower Power

I simply had to share this with you: one flower of my new hibiscus bush opened up today – isn´t it just beautiful?! 😀 I´m also adding one of my favourite songs of one of my favourite bands just because it also has some “flowers” in it and always makes me smile – sadly it´s
