... so far

I think I made my decision. I will take the Zometa again this time and think about stoping for the next time (which is due in September). I don't want to make a mistake with quiting it.

I have no side effects yet so why stopping ?! I will call my doctor on wednesday to tell him my decision.

Yesterday I met with my friend Anna and I saw her cute kid again. She grew so much since I last saw her (summer 2010).

Anna and I tryed to make macarons but we failed completly. I have no idea what went wrong but our finished macarons looked like a "face full of pimples". Sadly they lost the great blue colour too. 

Any advise for making macarons ?

Since I have no own kids I always love it to spoil other kids. I made a little dolly for Anna's little girl. 

It's nearly the same dolly I made for Amelie but with different fabrics and hair colour (because the little girl is dark haired too).

Recently I'm working on a male dolly. It's fun to develop some new patterns. I wish I could work faster and harder because I need to finished a few bags (some comission orders and bags for friends).

Decisions

Today I saw my oncologist to get my six monthly Zometa treatment. 

Zometa is a kind of drug for people with breast cancer which should help to prevent getting metastases in your bones.

Today my doctor told me that there is a study (he heard about it on big cancer congress) that this is probably not working as a prevention. It is working when you have metastases in your bones but it's doesn't help you to prevent getting them.

(Bill for my daily pills...one package with 100 pills costs around 600 €. Gladly I have to pay only 5 € the rest will pay my health insurance. I'm so glad that I was born in germany. We have a good health care system)

He said that I shouldn't get the treatment anymore but it's my decision. So what should I do ?? Take the Zometa and live with the side effects or quiting the treatment because it's not working ?!

Stripes make me look fat !

Mr. artistic is not a big a fan of my outfit from today. He said that nothing matches ?!

 

Hair

Yesterday I thought about my hair. Once it was blonde and long. Now it is short and nearly black.

I enjoy my short hair but sometimes I really miss having blonde long hair. Especially when I see these girly girls with their long blonde hair in pony tails.

Is short hair girly enough for me ?

Will I ever have blonde hair again ?

I lost it 2009. And I changed a lot in the past 2 years. Blonde hair doesn't suit my new life.

A normal (boring) week

Sometimes it's really hard for me to find something to write about on this blog. My weekend and weeks are always the same and I don't want to bother anyone with my boring life.

Who is reading this blog ????

 I have no stories to tell about raising kids or cakes I made . Some weekends or weeks I'm just hanging around after work and do nothing. I watch TV , read blogs and try to kick my ass to be creative or productive in any way. But most of the time it doesn't work.

Now I'm sitting again in front of my laptop and try to summarize the past week.

Monday: I went to work. I went jogging after work and relaxed at home while watching old "Made" episodes on my laptop.

Tuesday: I went to work and recieved a lovely package from Loki. I spend the evening again watching MTV "Made".

Wednesday: Again work in the office. I met for lunch with my friend Katja and went jogging again. Found out that my car might get broke.

Thursday: I had several meetings at work and worked on a flyer. I found out that my car is OK. It wasn't a big thing (knock on wood). I had a doctors apointment to get my lungs checked. X-rayed again but gladly everything is fine. We rushed to mr. artistics parents home to spent the weekend with them

Friday: I slept a bit longer. Finally I got up and went jogging. I hang around and watched TV untill we went for birthday dinner (mr. artistics mom).

Saturday: I had a good night's rest again. I went grocery shopping. Did a bit of sewing (not because I was in mood it's because I had to finish it) and watched TV. I dyed my hair dark brown again (sorry no blonde this time) and went to bed early.

Sunday: I went jogging with mr. artistics parents. One hour car ride untill we arrived back at home. Discovered that MTV US published all the "Real life" episodes. My evening are filled with escaping from reality for the next days.

So my week is borring and the same EVERY WEEK !!!!

Today I was a lucky day because I found a lovely package from my dear friend Lala. She sent me the cutest handmade things ever and I'm already wearing Matroschka (that's how we call the wooden dolls in east germany) necklace.

Everything she sent is so darling and even the envelope looked like a piece of art.

(lovely mail from Lala)

Good news from Mo because the Hoppel bag I made for her finally arrived.

I hope that all of you had a good start into the new week.
I'm off to see my psychologist today.

Today I recieved an awesome gift from Loki. She sent me the cutest felted carrot for the Hoppels, a book "The little prince" (I always wanted to read it ) , some really cute buttons and awesome stamps for my WTJ.

And I learned my lesson today. Hoppel's don't eat carrots !!! I need to find out what they like best ? Maybe the other Hoppel's (who are living in different places all over the world) can tell me more about their fave food. My current Hoppel's refused to tell me truth !

special edition Hoppel

In the past I used to make my softies from very soft micro plush.

A few weeks ago I was able to put my hands on my fave micro plush for a good price <3.

Áfter the order arrived I wonder  what I could use it for. Guess what my first intention was ...Hoppels of course.

I made Hoppel XXI and XXII out of the plush and I have to say that I'm so glad how they turned out.

(Hoppels are strong)

You can find both special edition Hoppel's in my shop.
