and the winner is

I had a great day. 

 

First I went with Lisa searching. She did good again. She dragged me through the woods and even a small stream ( even so I found out, she did not had to. Lol )

I never got to see the mine Anna. We just been in the woods close to it.

But I seen a beautiful wall made out of rocks. On the first look I thought it been logs of wood. But wrong, just rocks. 

 

 

And now to the winner of the give away.

 

Since Maggi did not wanted to be in this give away because she has way to many bags. ( that is hard to belive - to have way to many bags. Lol)

Last day of August is here

 

Boy the time is flying. The last day of August is here already. 

 

I think since I announced that I will have a give away every last day of the month for this year, the time is going by in lighting speed. lol

 

But before I get to the give away I want to tell you about my day.

I started a men trailing class with my dog Lisa. We have a great time doing it.

She is really doing good. Finds the victim every time. Of course the victim has a snack for her when she finds him.lol

But the real fun is all the different place we go. Every week is a different place in the woods. The last few times I always thought - I need to bring the camera - but then I always forget. Today I remembered to bring one, it was such a nice location too.

Its called Burg Phillipstein. Its a tower that got build in 1390

A beautiful place. So I took a few pictures before class started so I can show you.

 

Next week we are at a place called Grube Anna. So I'm looking forward to that and hope I wont forget the camera. Its amazing all those places so close to home and never been there. It has to take a man trailing class with a dog to go see them. Lol.

 

And now to the give away. 

When I was doing my shopping today. I was amazed to see that Tshibo is selling fabric and sewing gadgets. I saw this sewing kit for a hobo bag and just thought - that is so cute - So I decided to pick it up for the give away. 

 

The Kit got everthing you need to make the hobo bag, fabric and pattern.

So if you want to have a chance for this give away

All you have to do is leave me a comment telling me so.

I pick the winner next week Saturday and will let you know.

So good luck to all of you and a great weekend.

 

Lots of quilting hugs

Sunday picture

Well there is not much to show or tell

 

I finished the quilt and would love to show you a good picture.

But when I got up this morning I could not belive this weather. 

 

I was going to drive to the nunnery this morning to take Lisa for her Sunday walk. ( Not that you think I only take her on Sundays, she gets walks everyday. Just Sundays I take here different places to read a new newspaper. Lol)

I also was going to take the Quilt along to get some nice pictures. But the promising of spring last week seems to be just a joke.

Here is a picture from the nunnery, as you can see there was no way of getting nice pictures. 

 

I hope the weather gets better this week so I get to take a picture of the finished quilt.

Have a great Sunday

Hugs Kerstin

Update on the quilt and my Sunday walk with Lisa

There has not been much quilting time in the last week. I still got to finish my top by adding the border.

I'm in the middle of quilting it but those pictures have to wait. Just so far- I like what I see - lol. 

Here is the top with the border. 

Just to spice up my blog with some pictures I decided to take my camera along on my Sunday walks. - Just if its not down pouring rain, but it was not raining today.

Lisa started to be in her first heat. Oh boy, that is young. She is now 7 month. At least it took my decision away about having her spade before her first heat or after her second.

You hear so many controversies about both ways.

So with her being in heat she either has to be on the leash or I have to walk in a very open space so I can see what and who is about.

So I decided to leave real early this morning, thinking not so many people are about walking the dogs.

I left at 7 am in the morning. The Sun just started to come out that was so beautiful.

So here are some pictures from my walk. 

thats how it looked when I left the house. Is it not beautiful. But it only took minutes before the sun was all out.

lots of open space

 lots of open space to see who and what is about and lots of space to let the dog run. 

wonder if there is a mouse

or looking for mice to chase.

isnt it pretty with the fog still being on the ground a bit.

Kloster Altenberg

here you see the nunnery of Altenberg. Its just across the river from us. May be next sunday I take Lisa walking there to get some more pictures. Besides they have a nice coffee place up there - just open on sundays. lol

Lisa surely having fun.

can you see the arrow in the picture. You barley can see but it the castle of Braunfels. That should be a nice Sunday walk also.

she's been such a good girl on the walk.

I hope you all have a great Sunday.

Lots of hugs

Kerstin

no progress in the quilt

Not much progress in the quilt. I had to order some more fabric for it and it just got here today.

I hope to be able to work on it this week.

So I decided to show you pictures from this morning when I walked the dog. 

it started to snow again

 

 

Lisa loves the snow

 

 

Don't forget to stop by again on the 28th for the next give away.

Have a great Sunday
