On August 25, I did post about HAPPY NEWS, see link below post. Our Goddaughter Elvira delivered baby boy Stef into the world. For several years I've been following and admiring Claudia from
NuNu's Garn- und Stofflabor and it is time to share some of her incredible work with you. My first encounter with her was at Carolyn's,
Little Bear Studio, understandably as both do make BEARS! Now let's have a look at what she did create for Baby Stef:
Claudia did even create this special card!
Her stitching is fabulous.
Here she designed the personal label for Stef...
Perfect bag for taking to the Day Care when Stef's Mommy is going back to work!
NuNu's own label is sewn onto each of her creations.
Stef's parents have a tiled living room so this special padded blanket will make for perfect playing on the floor.
The padded blanket is completely double.
Fun text with dinos...
All spread out...
THANKS CLAUDIA for creating these fun pieces and for shipping them out to Stef!
♥
Please pay Claudia a visit and know that her English is perfect too, besides her native German.
Her husband is likewise gifted but he only works with wood...

{HAPPY NEWS!}
October 4th is officially WORLD ANIMAL DAY. Let's hope there will be more awareness and respect towards all animals! This year will be the 81st WORLD ANIMAL DAY, since its start in Florence, Italy. You can see more in a link below post, also photos from my Dachshund Mauzie...
Staying with animals, I'd like to show you here
one more Blogger I Admire; Astrid from Sweden, from the blog: AstridsHandarbeten, just click this hyperlink. It will show you
how she makes her lovely Wabbies, rabbits from sheep's wool. Clicking on the link above will show you how she does prepare the sheep's wool for her
artful needle felting. She is incredible in creating the funniest animals out of them. So I decided to have a 'Wabbie Family' sent to Germany to our German son and his family. Have a look at the result of Astrid's needle felting:
From Sweden to the Eifel in Germany.
Each Wabbie holds a letter A, E, L and M and a black kitten.
Incredible handwork by Astrid.
The Wabbies reside on the kitchen window sill, in their new home.
Look at all the details artfully made by Astrid...
Holding their A, E and black kitten...
Those Wabbies did bring their own gift-tag:
With L♥ve from Mariette

THANKS ASTRID!

Are you also behind on things? Not yet fully adapted to the fact that it is now officially autumn and only 12 weeks away from Christmas?!
A heartily welcome to my newest followers, hope you will make yourself here at home.
On September 23, I just managed to spot this funny number of 299,999... Just could grab its tail as of course time is racing on with everything.
But this is NOT what I wanted to write about. Instead, I got 2 awards from special blogger friends that I admire. On September 29,
I did receive a cat award from dear Tammy from T's Daily Treasures (click)
. She is a girl of my heart as she writes so pure about her daily but meaningful treasures of life. Tammy does for sure not fall into the category of The Pretenders. Her blog followers have been growing steadily and she always has something of interest to share with her loyal readers. A pleasure visiting with her.
Another award I received on October 02, from
a very talented blogger friend in Spain. Her name is Véronica from Nikavintage (click).
Obviously she also first did receive this award herself and did pass it on to 15 others with this criteria: Give the award to fifteen blogs you think are worthy for their creativity and originality in writing, among other values.
For sure both ladies fall into this categorie of creativity and original content writing. No photos used from elsewhere on the Internet but just genuine moments of their own lives and life style. Please do give them a visit as they deserve it. Those two awards I will not pass on but those of you that write in the personal, creative and original style know that I mean to honor you as well.
There are two more special bloggers I admire and I will write about them next. Of course our Rose Suite will be revealed to you soon! Stay posted and I wish you a lovely autumn season, if you live in the northern hemisphere. And for the southern hemisphere a lovely spring time.
What is your thought about pretenders and those that constantly use material from the Internet, or worse from other bloggers; scraped content. For me it often feels like wasting my precious time. I'd rather connect with real people that live with real problems and struggles in this difficult time of recession. A joy it is for me to see so many talented women (hey, where are the men...?) out there who show us ways of re-purposing vintage things and creating romantic pieces for their homes. A few of them are selling it to others, while some just use it as an economical way of decorating their home. Also the cooking and baking at times is very refreshing to read and above all, to learn from.
