FFO And Smiles

 
 
Today I join Nicole´s FFO with this not entirely nice guy. He lost half his face, kinda.
But don´t we all at times?
 
And how about this lille cutie-pie for Annie´s Smiles?
 


 
Other smiles go to my fun-team.
The other project... I´m swimming a bit. Loads to learn, loads to understand, the male colleagues are nice but their German like ... difficult and the females I cannot assess.
One went already a bit snappy at me.
Having worked with men only most of my adult life I do not get the hang of it, it seems.
 
One BIG smile goes to Ingo for shortening the first of my two dresses! 
The ones he bought me as surprises, too!
I did not dare to put them under the machine as it´s like t-shirt-fabric. 
Ingo did a great job!

Very soon we´re off to Ingo´s Brother´s wedding.
Please wish us luck, traffic- and weather-wise. This stays "some `summer`"... 15C / 59F, grey.

At least my T and also my fun-guys said it´s OK to wear a rain-jacket to a rainy, cold wedding.
Especially since both are dark-blue with white anchors, just right for East Frisia :-)
 
Henry 🦁
 
 
Let´s stay positive... and may this second try work out for BIL...

Positive, btw... hop over to Tom. I found not only his Aloha-reminder, but also one to post this:


Pic taken on Wednesday on the way to my doc 💛💙.
May that stupid war end. 
 
And yes. A 40-minute-walk one way.
Why not take bus/tram/bike?
Because of the sunflower! I love to stop and SEE where I am, take pics and let you join in.

We have but one life, why hurry?

SMILE and enjoy your life (plus I know... one time I will have to take public transport cause otherwise it will be a three-hours-walk one way. We do not get younger/fitter).

That poor guy. You drew him well.

Nice animal (sorry, I don't know a monkey from a chimpanzee or an ape).

Lovely sunflower, sad war.

Tuesday FedEx shipping and the "customer service" left me like the red side of the man who lost half his face. I was a bit perturbed.

How great that Ingo was able to shorten the dress so nicely.

Annie said...

I hope the wedding goes well and they have a long happy life together. Fab drawing as always.
Hugs,
Annie x

Your "Mr. (Not So Nice) Guy" reminds me of the Batman villain called Two-Face.

Tom said...

59F is winter in Hawaii. Brr. Enjoy the wedding. I love weddings! And how sweet of Ingo to buy and hem your dress.

Bill said...

Ingo, a man with many talents. Have a fun time, Iris.

Great post Iris. I love the double sided man. The baby's smile is just too cute and I do love the Tippi Hedren birds poster. Most of all I love the lion. Thank you for joining FFO and have a great weekend.

Lisca said...

I do like Mr Bad Guy, he is two-faced, so even more evil. (or perhaps just human...?)
Love the 'cuties'.
Wishing you all the best in the Friday traffic. Just the thought would stress me out. (We had the crazy idea to drive from the Netherlands to Denmark on a Friday! Crazy! I didn't have a map, so we had to stay on the Autobahn. Stuff of nightmares)
Take care,
Hugs,
Lisca

Fun FFO piece Iris!

RedPat said...

I hope that the wedding turns out to be fun, Iris.
Love the flower.

A very cute little smiler, and a beautiful sunflower.
Well done on the long walk. I am slowing down but I still like a walk as long as it isn't all uphill. Kate xx

River said...

Of course wear a raincoat if you need to. Silly to get wet when you can avoid it. I love the mosaic Henry.

Iris Flavia said...
