Primaly I wanted to split the Halloween preparations post for this year into several parts, each dealing with another way to celebrate this holiday. But now there’s only one week left and I don’t want to push and force things, so this concept will have to wait until next year. Instead I’ll bring the anticipation [...]

Preparations Again: Mad Hatter Day
Posted in Preparations, tagged Alice in Wonderland, celebration, hat, holiday, Mad Hatter, Mad Hatter day, silly holidays on October 3, 2011 | 3 Comments »
October 6th is Mad Hatter Day! I already wrote about it two years ago and completely left it out last year, but here we go again! Here are some (old and new) ideas how to spend this holiday: Dress in rather unusual fashions (in normal standards) or at least something wonderland-related. Blazers and jackets could [...]
Off to the South for the Weekend
Posted in Preparations, tagged Heidelberg, journey, Jules, Lilibeth, packing, visit on April 28, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
In about twelve hours I’ll be at Lilibeth’s house after a journey by train together with Jules and maybe a little sightseeing tour – I just don’t know where. We’ve got an awfully stuffed program (it will be splendid, though) including museums, photo sessions, crafts, a picnic and long walks. Oh, and we’ll meet Noctua, [...]
Porcelain Sunday – Happy Easter!

Originally I wanted to post my re-written Porcelain Sunday themed of Sucker Punch from last week today, but I completely forgot that this Sunday was Easter Sunday! Well, this might have made a great preparations post, too, but it’s to late now. It’s a little difficult to write a Porcelain Sunday about Easter, so I’ll [...]
Advent Calendars

I know I haven’t posted too much this month, especially about my Christmas preparations. At the moment I’m doing the ornaments for the annual Yuletide letter to my relatives overseas in New York, and I’m planning to catch up with all the presents during the next two weeks. But something little that I can [...]
Bloomers and Bites

Neck bites, to be precise. Yesterday I finished sewing my first pair of bloomers. I made them mainly for the Steampunk LARP that’s finally coming up in a month, but also to proceed a little bit with my attempts with Lolita. I’m awfully nervous about the con and today I’ll start sewing my real dress. [...]
Festival Preparation

As we’re at the middle of July again I think it’s time to write something about one of my personal highlights of the summer during the last four years: Festivals. I’ve started going to festivals at the age of sixteen what was quite sensible when I look back on it. I don’t think very highly [...]
Great Expectations

No, not the book. This weekend somebody who is really special to me will come to visit me. It’s my pen friend Lilibeth. This is by the way the beautiful last letter that she wrote to me plus a wonderful gift she sent me: It will be the first time that we meet each other [...]
Present Growing

Top o’ the morning to you! Remember that I mentioned to post a teaser about Jules’ birthday present sometimes? Well, as he is coming to visit us this weekend, here it is. I dare say I like the way the picture came out. Plus, I hope that I’ll get it ready until Friday! My to-do [...]
Preparing for… Saint Patrick’s Day

Well, Saint Patrick’s Day isn’t too big in Germany as… you know… he’s Irish after all. But as I’m at Celtic Studies and as we really want to fulfill the cliché, we celebrate it, kind of, anyway. Declaredly, I think that pouring paint into a river and dyeing beer is not that… hell no! I’d [...]
