Lot’s of scribbling, sketching stuff and painting today, left the table and laid down on the ground (different perspective).

And finally I left the house to enjoy the surprising winter weather and took some origami cranes with me (my son and I decided that we actually should try to make 1000 origami cranes within one year).

I have to admit that I find it very relaxing to make this origami work in the early morning – and I like it quiet, no music and nothing; just to concentrate on eacvh fold, feeling the paper. I think it’s a very good way to exercise the hands and fingers – something really important for a crafter.
Wanna make an origami crane, too? Have a look here.

Enjoying the snow / Schneefreuden

Ninni taking a walk in the snow

As it’s Ninni’s first winter – he LOVES the snow a lot and got really excited when he woke up and saw huge snowflakes falling down from the sky. And so the first thing he insisted to do in the morning was: To take a long walk outside.

Our to-do-list for today:

– take a long walk until the cheeks are red (done)
– built a snowman as long as it’s possible (WIP)
– read Henry David Thoreau: A Winter Walk (soon)

Da es ja Ninnis erster Winter ist, liebt er den Schnee ganz besonders (wie es bei kleinen Kindern eben so ist) – und war ganz aufgeregt, als er heute morgen erwachte und es dicke Schneeflocken vom Himmel schneite. Also gab es nicht mal Frühstück – sondern er wünschte sich, sofort einen Schneespaziergang zu machen. Ein guter Plan!

Unsere To-Do-Liste für heute:

– ein langer Schneespaziergang – bis die Wangen tiefrot sind (erledigt)
– so lange es möglich ist einen Schneemann bauen (WIP)
– Henry David Thoreau: A Winter Walk lesen (nachher)
