Villingen-Schwenningen, Germany - 18th August 2012
By: Biggi
Hi Mom,
I reached my new guest home. I had a very cosy travel.
When the envelope was opened, two kind faces looked at me.
Nosyblue and his cat friend welcomed me.
Nosyblue will leave here in the next days.
But Felix the cat and his mother named Missy will have a good
look after me, while I stay here.

Hi Mom,
Yesterday and the day before were so hot, we decided to stay at home. We even closed all roller shutters the whole day.
Monday nosyblue left towards his new host.
Today we were fed up with all the cold meals we had at home
so we made some delicious aromatic Chelsea Buns.
I helped cutting the onions.
We put them in the oven for half an hour...
Later, we had such delicious meal. Yummie!!

Hi Mom,
this morning, I was in a very special Workshop. I learnt how to make necklaces with very little pearls.
First we had to use the needle to thread tiny pearls following a special sequence. Many many pearls. See....
Look Mom, these pearls are really tiny.
When I had thread enough pearls, we crochet them. Here you can see the result of the pattern.
My host did a very long necklace, but I really had difficulties with those itsybitsy tiny pearls, so I am proud of what I made.

Hi Mom,
Yesterday I had a funny afternoon. My host took me to her favourite store which was re-opened after a big modification.
This store is specialized on wool, everything for knitting, for
crochet and all about handcrafting with pearls.
My host taught me as I'm a sheep I should know all about wool.
My relatives out there grow their hair which is cut when its long
enough and of this hair wool is made of.
Look, these are my favourite wool balls. I love those colours.
In the back you can see an example how this wool shows its pattern when its knitted:
Here you can see me with some necklaces. They are shown to make customers curious on how to do these. But my host
knows most of these techniques, as she told me.
My host bought some wool balls as she wants to knit some pair of sockets. Maybe I should ask her if she can show me how to do it?

Hi Mom,
since it was raining we decided to stay at home an my host gave
me my first knitting lesson. This will become a socket someday.
Later I helped my host to cook a carrot soup. We began with
cutting the carrot skin and cutting the carrots into little pieces.
Then, we added potatoes and spices. This all we boiled with
some water and then mashed it all using an immersion blender.
I really like the colour of this soup. It was so tasty too.

Hi Mom,
one of the Groupmates of my host has a part-time-job as a DJ. He insisted to show me his Discjockey-Computer. Man, this guy owes a lot of music!
Later I helped to cook a biiiiiig pot of spaghetti with tomato-sauce.
Of course we had a big bowl of salad too.
