Yarnbombing (Part II / Teil 2)
Dear friends,
I
woke up this morning facing foggy, dull and dreary weather, rain, a
packed grey sky and 11°C. If today were the end of September, early
October even, I'd sigh and say: „Well then, autumn has come...“
BUT!!! It is the 12th of August! We're supposed to be in
the middle of summer still! And we are living in Germany – the
North Pole isn't anywhere near! ARGH!!!!
Lucky
me I made some pictures of the garden while the weather was still
nicer...
The
rain pipe is now completely covered and the second one too
Couldn't
stop me from making a "few" more flowers
Moneypenny
likes the mandala/dreamcatcher too
The
ladybirds inhabit the lamppost
And
here are the latest additions
Would
be great if the weather was fine enough to actually enjoy the
garden... I'll keep in touch!
Liebe Freunde,
heute
Morgen bin aufgewacht bei Nebel, tristes Wetter, grauem Himmel, Regen
und 11°C. Wenn heute bereits Ende September wäre, gar Anfang
Oktober, würde ich seufzen und meinen: „Nun ja, der Herbst ist
da...!“ ABER!!! Es ist erst der 12. August. Wir sind mitten in
Sommer! Und wir leben wohlgemerkt in Deutschland, nicht in der Nähe
des Nordpols!! ARGH!!!!
Zum
Glück habe ich ein paar Bilder von Garten gemacht, als das Wetter
noch etwas besser war...
Die
Regenrinne ist jetzt (nahezu) komplett behäkelt (und die zweite
auch)
Ein
"paar" Blümchen musste ich zwischendurch auch noch häkeln...
Moneypenny
fand das Mandala (den angehenden Traumfänger) auch ganz nett
Die
Marienkäfer haben die Gartenlaterne mit Beschlag gelegt
Und
das sprang mir zuletzt von der Nadel
Fehlt
eigentlich nur noch das passende Wetter, um den Garten auch zu
genießen... Ich halte euch auf dem Laufenden!
Wonderful shots of all your colourful yarnbombing! You have been busy and having great fun too!! I have so enjoyed our cooler period after yet another heat-wave, but things are heating up again in Europe, so never fear! August has not finished heating us all up!
AntwortenLöschenThank you very much, dear Sandra.
LöschenI did enjoy myself thouroughly yarnbombing. We didn't have any heat-wave at all. We've been getting closer to autumn every day. with the odd one-day-exeption... Hope the weather will get better though.
Have a great Sunday,
Marjan
Oh! I love the flower ball :-)
AntwortenLöschenMy favourite colours!
And you've done a great job with the green inbetween!
I was thinking exactly the same, Marjan, where is the summer????
I almost feel like putting the heating on!
But your garden is soooooooo nice! And it's not too much, the yarnbombing.
It's perfect, cheerful and beautiful.
Enjoy your weekend, hope the sun will come out...

Frankly said: Yesterday was so chilly my husband actually lit the stove! Would be great if the weather could be nice enough to at least enjoy some hours on the back porch. No need for 30°C though, but a little sunshine and 22-25°C and I would be perfectly happy!
LöschenHave a lovely Sunday,
Marjan
Das schaut alles soo hübsch aus! =)))
AntwortenLöschenAber was passiert mit den schönen gehäkelten Sachen, wenn es regnet? Werden sie nicht durch Regen und Sonne in ein paar Jahren ganz schmuddelig aussehen?
LG Sandra
Danke, liebe Sandra.
LöschenDie Sachen bleiben einfach draußen und wenn sie mit der Zeit ausbleichen und/oder schmuddelig werden...? Nun, dann ist es doch höchste Zeit für etwas neues, oder nicht?
Viele Grüße,
Marjan
Oh your garden is so cute! Love it all!! Yes I was feeling that summer has come to an end but then today has been glorious here on the north coast of Scotland... but it won't last. However, I made the most of it by visiting someone else's gorgeous garden full of cute things... so glad it stayed dry. I hope you get a few more days of good weather before winter. Never know an Indian summer may be just around the corner. Have a good week, xx
AntwortenLöschenThank you very much, dear Elly.
LöschenWe had one (1) day of sunshine last week and according to the weather-forecast there will be another one (1) this week too. That doesn't feel like summer at all! Seems we have to keep our fingers crossed and hope for an Indian Summer...
All my love to Scotland! Hugs,
Marjan
Tu jardín luce precioso,tan alegre y divertido,me encanta!!!!
AntwortenLöschenAquí tampoco es verano,con el tiempo que hace,apetece hacer calcetines o mantas jaaaaa!!!
Besos.
Tienes toda la razón, Pilar: debemos estar haciendo tiene, bufandas, suéteres de lana gruesa. Esperemos para un verano indio!
LöschenTienen un precioso domingo a pesar del tiempo,
Marjan
Was für eine Augenweide!! :)

LöschenAn others perfect post !!! With colors and imagination !!!
AntwortenLöschenHave a shinny week !
Anna
Thank you very much, dear Anna!
LöschenHave a lovely wwek,
Marjan
The yarn bombing cannot be any more cuter! The flower ball is really expressive and one might really mistake it for a real one! The splashes of color make the place lively and joyous! You've done a fantastic job with it!
AntwortenLöschenThank you so much, dear Maya.
LöschenI've still got e few ideas left but I might give the garden some peace for a while now...
Have a great week,
Marjan
That's such a lovely idea, it really brightens up your garden. It must make you smile every time you look out the window!
AntwortenLöschenThank you, Claire.
LöschenIt sure does make me smile whenever I look at it, either passing by on my way to an fro work or looking out of the window...
Have agreat day,
Marjan
Marjan when Fall sees your garden full of so many pretty summer flowers it will get scared and go into hiding. Love that dream catcher too.
AntwortenLöschenThat would be perfect! We had two rather pretty days (though it still was raining Monday-evening as well as Tuesday-morning) and with some luck we'll be able to enjoy our garden today too. I really have no need for fall yet at all!
LöschenHave a great day,
Marjan
Es ist so schön bei Dir, liebe Marjan !!! Am liebsten würde ich gleich vorbeikommen ! Herrlich was Du alles gehäkelt hast , Dein Garten ist wunderschön dekoriert. Die runde Blumenkugel ist mein Favorit, die verschieden rosa farbigen Blümchen sind einfach wunderschön. Wie hast Du denn die Rundung so perfekt hinbekommen ? Ich wünsche Dir ein schönes Wochenende, sei lieb gegrüßt von Carmen
AntwortenLöschenDanke, liebe Carmen.
LöschenDas mit der Blumenkugel ist ja genaugenommen ganz einfach, denn ich habe lediglich eine Styroporkugel beklebt...
Schönes Wochenende,
Marjan
That round ball of flowers is just amazing. Thank you for sharing at The Really Crafty Link Party this week. Pinned!
AntwortenLöschenThank you so much, dear Teresa!
LöschenWow, wow, wow Marjan. If someone did something like this in South Africa they would arrange a tour of your garden so people could see it up close and for real. It's so beautiful and whimsical. I absolutely love it!!! Hope your weather improves so you can enjoy your garden
AntwortenLöschenA tour!? That would be fun!
LöschenOver here the neighbours pretermit the garden (and the new gardenfence my hubby is sooo proud of). Seen some hilarious scenes already: people staring from the corner of their eyes (not turning their heads at all) nearly stumbling over their feet, but not willing to admit they're looking... Sigh...
At least the sun's out this morning, so we might be able to enjoy our garden!
Have a great Sunday,
Marjan
I would love your patterns for the lantern, and the flower ball. Beautiful!!
AntwortenLöschenThank you! Sorry, but I haven't got to writing (let alone posting) the pattern of the lantern.Just give me a little more time to do so...
LöschenHave a great Sunday,
Marjan
It's funny how cats tend to want to be a part of the yarn projects worked - I have to watch my works in progress around my Shiloh. I love all that you have added to your garden. The ladybugs up the lamp post is such a neat idea, and the sweet flower ball! Are the flowers added to a styrofoam ball?
AntwortenLöschenAlexandra

Yes, indeed, dear Alexandra, I've glued the flowers onto a styrofoam ball. Though it was the easiest way to do so...
