Ok, I'll try my very best. First I have to look for a pattern. If I don't find one I have to design it on my own. Thanks for this job.

Sweet! Some other ideas. . .a Clarinet? :lol: Roller skates? :lol: Could you do the Bee Gees logo?

I already thought of the logo indeed but it's really hard to realize because the threads need to be fixed on each other and therfore you need a certain pattern. But I keep on trying to make it one day.

:shock: Amazing, Ines! ... How many hours did it take you to do this?

I never count the hours. It would make me crazy. But I started to work on the first piece (a waggon) in August 2007. So all in all it took me 1 1/2 years.
Between the single parts I also worked on other projects such as the bracelet I gave to Dwina. I also finished the earrings for her. Keep your fingers crossed she will get them soon

FINGERS CROSSED, INES!!! You are AMAZING!!!

1 1/2 years :shock: ... that's even longer than I imagined. And you finished it just one day before your dad's birthday ... incredible timing! :P
The earrings are so beautiful ... I can't wait to see Dwina wearing them.

A long time indeed, but I also finished my diploma meanwhile and got a full time job aside
Joke aside I would have been faster, but lacemaking is my hobby and not my whole life. Although I have to confess that you may become addicted.

That's the danger with everything you love doing ... or just love. :roll:

Two things you may not know about me ... I love photographing and winter.
Take a walk in the snow with me ...

That is BEAUTIFUL, Gabriele!!!

What a great countryside Gabriele! Where have you been there?

That was just about 30 km away from Cologne ... Bergisches Land ... last Sunday.
And this was two weeks ago ... Winter in the city

WOW! I wanna go to Germany!!!

Wonderful walk Gabriele !

Our little trip to France

Good trip, Gabriele!

Our sacral place we love so much in Pilis mountains

Whenever I'm down I go there.

Alas there's much snow and very cold, so can't do that.
Just wait for the spring.

:shock: These are AWESOME pics, Gabriele! And you are looking just lovely.

Also very awesome!!!

Thanks, girls! Great nature shots, Wildflower ... and such lovely namesakes!

Gabriele, I'm in trouble, don't know what you mean by namesakes :?

Wildflowers, of course ... you achieved some beautiful portraits.

Oh yeah, I should have thought that!
I'm getting better and better day by day in insanity. :shock:

Hey Ines :lol: I want my turtle! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I was feeling picture-happy today and went a little nuts. :lol: :lol:

This is another thing about me that most don't know. :?
I'm an avid "babywearer." My children were carried in slings from birth almost nonstop! :mrgreen:

Nora is about 5 1/2 years old in this picture, taken today. We took a walk near the sea for about 2 hours like this. It's umm really hot in UAE right now so please excuse how red I look. :lol: :lol:

I am wearing an Inka Storchenwiege wrap (:D

You both look lovely. It seems Nora enjoyed to be carried around in a 'stork's cradle'.

Thank you! It's just another thing I love about Germany!
Have you seen these ones? I love those, too! :lol:

Oh yes ... that was the very first link you ever sent me. Can it be two years already? :shock: I had to admit I never heard of Didymos before ... :oops: Now I know of course.

TWO YEARS?! :shock: :shock: :lol: And a lovely two years at that!
Have you seen this one? :lol: My friend owns this biz!

I've still got it on my agenda, Lori. But I just moved to the UK and I left all my lacemaking stuff in Germany I probably get it around August when my parents come for a visit. So please give me some time.
