Ski season

So over the last weekends I have been busy skiing. The weather has been really nice. Really lucky!
The pictures are from Pitztal Glacier, Hintertux and Stubai.
Next weekend I am going to spend in the enchanting Val Racines. We go there every year with all the skiing instructors who work in the same ski school as I do. I can't wait!
Fingers crossed for more snow and good weather!
Sad I have to study for the upcoming winter exams the rest of the week. I would be skiing everyday if there wasn't university...

Tabaluga ♥

On friday night Markus and I watched the musical "Tabaluga und die Zeichen der Zeit" (Tabaluga and the signs of time)
Tabaluga is a little fictional green dragon and has been following me all my life! When I was four years old I saw the first Musical "Tabaluga and Lilli" with my parents.
My dad gave me a little Tabaluga (stuffed animal) years ago after that first show and I still have it.
It has always been my favorite toy. So there is a really strong bond for me between Tabaluga and my dad.
 I even took "my" Tabaluga with me to the hospital on the day my dad passed away.
Markus knew I am in love with everything related to this litte green dragon. He gave me the tickets for Christmas last year.
And on friday, we finally went and saw it. The show had been sold out for about a year.
It was great and pretty emotional for me.
I am not that kind of girl that usually cries during a movie, but this musical was too much for me. Sometimes I miss my dad so much. There was one song when Tabaluga dreamed about his dragon father Tyrion who passed away when he was six. I felt like my dad was sitting right next to me. I am so grateful I got the chance to see it! Best gift ever. Best boyfriend ever.

Little man's birthday and quilting

Jonas and I 


So yesterday we spend the Day with Markus' family. In was a special occasion. This little guy on the pictures here turned three. His name is Jonas and he the son of Markus' cousin Tanja.
He just grabbed my phone and asked: "picture,please?" So we had a fun little photo session and his mom had time for some amazing cake!
It was fun to be back home!

Markus joined us! 




 
Today I finished the Top of my quilt! Sad  it is not quilted yet but I already like it! Its matching the wall! 


P.S.: Thrid post this month. guess that means no exams yet!

Murderous Dinner

So yesterday evening we did something really fun. To tell the truth two of our friends Junior and Kristina actually were the hosts.

The entire happening  called "Murderous Dinner" (Mörderisches Dinner) and was arranged at Markus and my place since we have the biggest dining table.
A few days earlier we received fancy invitations telling us what role we have to play.
The entire play was set on the Titanic. Therefore we had to dress up according to our roles and the time of 1912!

Countess Anastasia Zobel
I was Countess Anastasia Zobel:
Member of the Russish high    nobility and close friend of the
tsarina of Russia.
I wore a ton of (fake) jewelry and bright red lipstick.


The other roles:
Studying our roles
Kristina: Lady Katelyn Winselet, frigid British widow of timeless beauty.
Junior: Dr.Waterson, close friend of "Herlock Sloames" and medical doctor.
Jenny:The Maharani of Purpur, an exotic Indian ballet dancer.
Flo: Douglas Fitzgerald, the son of the owner of the Titanic.
Markus: Nicolai Rasputin, russian miracle healer and hypnotist.

Junior and Kristina cooked for us and the entire evening was just brilliant. The game was played in three acts and was composed around a murder and the theft of a rare diamont.

Lady Winslet and Dr.Waterson
Nicolai Rasputin! I loved the fake hair  and beard

Quilting...well first of all: Patchwork

Good morning!
Today is "All Saints' Day" (Allerheiligen) in Germany. Here in Bavaria it is a official holiday and I do not have  school.
Since it is gloomy  weather today and I still got headaches I decieded to work on my Quilt!
The Top is almost done! Right now I am working on the seam. At least that is how we call it in Germany!
My beloved boyfriend has to work today (although it is a holiday...). This means I got space and time to make a mess and lay out my sewing things all over the living room!




The Plan is to finish the Top this weekend. My Grandmom  is something like a crafting and quilting champion for me. She will come back to Munich after spending a couple of weeks in Rosenheim, where she grew up.
Then the plan is to decide about the back of my quilt: What kind of fabiric and of course which colour!
My Grandmom does all quilting by hand. I am way to impatient for that, so I am going to give maschine quilting a try... Hopefully it is going to work! But I will let you know.
