well- now, it has been a reeeeeaally long time since my last post, this blog is so outdated it's a shame! sorry for that. first, i hope you all had a good start to the new year! second, let's go back in time and see what happened:
last time i have posted i was all soaked up in the winterleuchten mania, preparing for the annual christmas market, making new prints, collages, souvenirs, getting order in my stuff, labeling, pricing, packing etc. two days before the show i was installing the shop in the winterleuchten art hut, giving interviews to the newspapers, freezing my ass off, the excitement rising higher with every hour. the next day, though, which was also my birthday and which was meant to collect last resources and energies for the upcoming weekend, started way off track: i was sent to the hospital in an emergency and they kept me in for 4 days. DRAMA!! this meant i missed the whole winterleuchten action!!! an event that was planned and organized for months, an event to which i have counted the days from the last winterleuchten on and worked so hard for.....damn, i can tell you, this was quiet a shock!!!
so surreal to stay in bed while my friends and family took care of the whole action just a few kilometres away from the hospital and i had a really hard time to realize this and be practically out of control. this was nuts!
my friends brought me winterleuchten food in the evening, pictures and stories to tell and i can' t be more thankful for having such great people around me, who gave all their energy, love and effort to make this last winterleuchten happen.
thank god, my health was not in too big danger, too. i probably had overestimated my superhero powers (haha) and as i am not alone in my banging body anymore (another HAHA), i had to cut low, stay in bed and keep my feet quiet. since then, the troll in my belly is growing steadily and i had to learn NOT to be a workaholic. imagine! life can be cruel ... ;)
so here are some pictures (thanks, j!) and some more
here on my flickr.
thanks from the heart to j my love, my little sister conny and matze, to weiny and mo, chris, christoph, tabea and fab, and all the awesome yard people, who made the winterleuchten2008 another blast! i love you all ....
