12 von 12 am 12.12.!/12 of 12 on the 12th of the 12th!
FINALLY I've made it again! We have not been on holidays, no one was ill - all the time (and nerves) for 12 of 12!
Good Moooooooooooooorning!
The first mess of the day
Ready to go!
At Grandma's and Grandpa's we are proudly showing off the swallowed penny!
Ryan and his grandad - one heart and one soul ♥
My son is THE cuddler at the moment - here he is raping his great grandma :-)
At a quite late early evening time a quick run to the shop
The essentials: nappies, toilet roll, cat food and wrapping paper :-)
Typically british night - a takeaway curry....
.... and the X-Factor final part 1
The last mess of the day
And the christmas angel is sleeping

Es weihnachtet... noch nicht sehr/It's Christmas time... not fully
Mittlerweile ist aber alles wieder in Ordnung, Ruhe ist wieder eingekehrt und langsam, aber sicher widmen wir uns ENDLICH der weihnachtlichen Vorfreude!
Child has a tummy bug
But in the meantime all is well again, we're back to normal and slowly but for sure we can dedicate ourselves to the happy anticipation of Christmas!
On the 6th of december my son recived his first "Nikolo"-bag. Nikolo is our version of Father Christmas/Santa Claus. He originates from the same legend, the same person, but in our tradition he only brings one small present accompanied by nuts, oranges and sweets on the 6th of december. Traditionally the bag was put in a shoe- the custom goes back to the same origin as the anglo-american stockings.
But Raymond does not seem to be in proper Christmas mood yet - he just hates this suit!

Baby you can drive my car...
Actually I haven't shown you much of the most beautiful of all children recently :-)
In a few days he's going to be 16 months. With every day he gets more incredible. Incredibly cute, incredibly ravishing, incredibly clever, incredibly great - but also incredibly short tempered...
And here his new found love - a generous hand-me-down of a distant aquaintance

Kawaii Tausch Posteingang/Kawaii Swap Inbox
What a day! I was anyway in a skipping happy happy mood as my best friend gave birth to her daughter this morning - and then my Kawaii swap parcel from Daniela of BATHINA arrived! What joy!
Already on the outside this beautiful tape
Look at the incredible packaging - so much love is put into detail with those stuck on little things!
I LOVE those Kawaii stickers! :D ♥
Such a great parcel of course also contains a great card!
In every gift a Hello Kitty bubble gum was put in - and lots of cute bric-a-brac!
Daniela made me a supersweet tissue purse
One of my special highlights - a Hello Kitty mobile phone-belt bag!!
A beautiful little purse!
My second special highlight - a lanyard! What Daniela couldn't have known is that I lost my keys just recently and I was actually on the hunt for a perfect lanyard! I love it! ♥
And now look at this girly monkey! Isn't she adorable?
Not only I fell instantly in love with her - the young man asked her outright for a dance :-)
Liebe Daniela - ich danke dir! Die Sachen sind einfach toll. Nein toller. Tolllllllssssst. Am tollllllllstesten :D
Dear Daniela - thank you! The things are just great. No greater. Greattttttesssssssst. Greateressstest :D

Watcha Wearing Wednesday + Geburtstags Kawaii Ausbeute/Birthday Kawaii Harvest
After a blimmin' long time finally a Watcha Wearing Wednesday again!
Mummy with son under her poncho - after 20 minutes of wrestling (the son refuses to leave his arms inside) and a dispute about his hat...
...he was shifted to the front again, with a warmer coat and no poncho and this photo symbolizes quite well Watcha NOT Wearing Wednesday.... This ongoing fight with the hat is driving me bonkers I tell ya...
Furthermore in blog terms I haven't told you that I can now tick the boxes with the 30 in it. The obligatory pre-midlife crisis I think I have overcome, it still doesn't hurt and from my loved ones I received beautiful prettyfullness. My most favourite Kawaii selection I want to show you!
My dad and my lovely man were the heroes of the day - my Kawaii heart ♥ nearly overspilled when I saw the Hello Kitty bag and the collectors perfumes!
Mein ganzer Stolz sind natürlich die Harajuku-Girls (die Parfums) - ich habe sie übrigens offiziell von meinem Sohn bekommen :-))
My pride are of course the Harajuku-Girls (the perfumes) - btw I officially received them from my son :-))

Kawaii Tausch - Postausgang/Kawaii Swap Outbox
Also haben wir beide - nur wir beide - einen kleinen Kawaii-Tausch veranstaltet. Es war nun mein dritter Tausch, ich habe alle gerne und mit Herzblut verarbeitet, aber dieser Tausch hat ganz besonders viel Herz ♥ mitgehäkelt bekommen - ja ja ich liebe einfach Kawaii!
The lovely Dani of BATHINA and me share a very special passion. Kawaii ♥. HERE a little help with the definition of the word. Both of us are actually in love with this - attitude of life. On her blog it is actually quite obvious. :-).
So we - just the two of us - made a little Kawaii swap. This was my third swap and I put my heart into all of them, but this swap has extra special heart ♥ crocheted into it - yes yes I just love Kawaii!
Daniela hat einen Chihuahua namens Schoko - also ein Mini Schoko für sie (oder ihre Blythe!)
Daniela has a little chihuahua named Schoko - so a Mini Schoko for her (or her Blythe!)
Schoko ist nach DIESEM Muster gearbeitet
Schoko is done according to THIS pattern
Eine Mütze für Zülea, ihre Blythe Puppe - es ist ja Winter! Muster - HIER
A hat for Zülea, her blythe doll - after all it's winter! Pattern - HERE
Eine Miniatur Schatulle - man kann einfach nie genug Muffins haben, speziell, wenn sie mit einer kleinen kawaii-igen Rehkette gefüllt sind! Muster ist mein eigenes.
A miniature keepsake box - you can never have enough cupcakes - especially if it's filled with a kawaiiesque little deer necklace! Pattern is my own.
So süss, dass ich schon fast Zahnweh vom hinsehen bekomme - ein Bärlipop! Muster ist mein eigenes.
So sweet I get a toothache just from looking at it - a bearpop! Pattern is my own.
Auch hier springt mein Kawaii-Herz ein bisschen höher - ein 3fach Kugel Eis Schlüsselanhänger oder Taschenbaumler! Muster ist mein eigenes
This also makes my Kawaii heart jump a little higher - a tripple scoop ice cream cone keyring or bag charm! Pattern is my own.
Und das Herzstück ♥ des Pakets - Feodora, das pinke Reh für die Reh-liebende Dani!
And the hearty core ♥ of the packet - Feodora, the pink deer, for the deer-loving Dani!
Feodora ist zwar nach dem Friends Forever Fawn aus Elisabeth Dohertys Buch gearbeitet, aber ihre Ausführung basiert auf JENEN Bildern.
Feodora is worked after the Friends Forever Fawn in Elisabeth Dohertys book but her look is based on THESE pictures.
Ich hoffe Dani hat mit dieser Kawaii Runde genauso viel Freude und Spass wie ich es beim kreieren hatte!
I hope Dani enjoys and loves these kawaii critters a much as I did making them!
PS: Die Links zum Chihuahua und Blythe-Mützen Muster funktionierten vor kurzem noch, jetzt nicht mehr? Hatte ich einfach Glück und jetzt gibt es diese nicht mehr gratis im Netz?
PS: The links for the Chihuahua and the Blythe hat pattern were working fine a little while ago but not anymore? Was I just lucky and now they are not available for free anymore?

Tausch der Kunst?/Swap of arts?
Is maybe someone interested in swapping "services"? To be precise: YOUR sewing skill for MY crocheting skills. I am thinking of a very specific pattern... If someone is interested please drop me a line!

Busenpops/Boobiepops
Back from my beautiful home country! As I stayed longer I unfortunately can't make the breastfeeding conference I was planning to attend from today onwards. It's just too close. But my lovely LLL Ladies were sent off with a little something for the craft fayre there to raise money for the LLL.
Lollipops mal anders - Busenpops!
Lollipops of a different kind - Boobiepops!
Here on the last piccie actually a bearpop mingled with them :-)
