Having no work I look for work, right? And as Ingo has a car he went shopping for me. I measured and he was so kind to bring. Because... try that on foot... I just say: Wind!
Ingo wanted to help but we got into a fight and I shut the door into his face (sorry!) - but... it was a good feeling to do it by myself! Without his super-tool, too...
See, when we still had a weekend-relationship I did almost everything by myself and now I always asked Ingo for help - that´s not good, for neither of us!
Maybe Ingo plans to hang it up on the wall - that I cannot do with my ole, crooked arm. And also I´m actually small and hence OK with this? On the other hand there would be space for stuff...
Why so many pieces of jewelry?
a) Thingz, where I also got Rexi and the Bee-happy-cuppa from closes down for good and everything was 40% off.
b) Thingz does not exist in Germany - I got this from Madeley/Perth.
c) The butterflyclips are not available here, either, I got them from the Freo Markets.
In case you missed this post here´s a pic of the clips:
... managed on my own - without asking Ingo.
And of course a P.S. - here is an example why I took the effort:
a) - thank you, River, if I put them all in a box I´d forget about them and
b) each has it´s own meaning!
Here is an example:
And luck I need atm!
Henry 🦁
It´s difficult with a paw, I see that... Glad I have two hands.

Dear friend Iris, you did very well. And I love your hair clip. Henry is resourceful. Love and hugs.
Dear friend Linda, thank you! Yes, those clips are great and Henry gives his best, too... Love and hugs on the way.
It is a lovely shelf/board and now you can easily see all the Thingz and choose which one to wear. For myself I would just put them all in a tin or box with a lid and then forget I have them.
Exact - forget, I tend to do that, too and each has a different meaning, I add an example....
That's a great project. And you are really patient to leave them on their cards. But those cards are cool so I get why you have them there. And nice clip too. :) Have a great rest of your day. hugs-Erika
Thank you - it was good to have "work"! And it felt good not to ask for help (other than the car - I wouldn´t want to end up like Mary Poppins with that wood).
I must stop to rely on Ingo in EVERYTHING! Some things, like my stuck cam I need him for, though...
...Iris, you often worry me!!!
Why, Tom? This was a very positive post - what do you worry about?
Well done, Iris. I especially love the hair clips -- I've never seen any quite like that here and when I had long hair would have used them!
Good morning looks like a good project-I would keep them all in special box though-sometimes it is difficult to accept help-hugs still getting cool weather and more rain-ok for me though-lots of thick fog this morning do to the cooler night-hugs
Thank you :-) The clips are made in South Africa and so far I really only saw them in Freo! A shame, huh?
Arvo here, but a happy morning to you - fog over the lake must look wonderful! Other way round... I need to do more by myself and not ask Ingo all the time.
Here it warmed up but they announced cool weather again... aw, well ... to Spring, hugs
That looks great, and you can pick the one that suits your need or mood each day.
My husband hates me to ask him for help, and if I do I have to wait until he decides to help me. So I do a lot on my own. It is annoying the way he puts what I need below everything else!
The hair clips are really nice. And I love the color of your hair!
Dear Iris, you did a great job on the display. Yes, there are things we want to do our selves. On your comment on flour. Flour does go bad. If you open the bag or container and it has a smell toss it out. Flour should smell like nothing. Yes, you can use it but it many have strange states. About the cornmeal. It is not necessary. This just for the bottom of the pan. So you can sprinkle a bit of cream of wheat, or any grain that is small like that. If you don't have that just sprinkle a tiny but of flour on the bottom of the pan. I hope this helps you.
You did well on your own, Iris. It is good to have Ingo for backup if needed though. ;-)
Such a great way to display your jewelry. You did a great job on the project.
Yes, these all are great and I need to learn again to do my own, though... from your blog I understood you do most on your own?
Thank you, that´s where my second name is from, Dad thought my hair´ll turn out like that. Runs in both families.
Thank you, well it was a long time I crafted with wood!
Thank you on the tips for the flour!!
I was to hear about my job today and didn´t and can´t eat ... again... so.. delayed.
Yes to all of that, RedPat and... thank you!
Thank you :-)
all the best with the job hunt
Hello Iris,
It nice what you can get done on your own. It is a nice way to display your jewelry. But, it is still good to have someone there to help when you need help. Your hair clip is pretty. Take care, have a happy day!
Thank you - I don´t hunt, I wait.... 2 projects are on the run for me.
Thank you, Eileen - and yes to all! Ingo is there :-)
A very good way to display your jewels .... of course with the help of the lion.....
Ja, die eigene Selbständigkeit bewahren ist wirklich wichtig. Doch inzwischen mache ich persönlich Abstriche weil die gesundheitliche Situation es mir aufzwingt. Eine... Meine Gratwanderung trotzdem mit mir zufrieden zu sein.
Du hast es - glaube ich - gut gemacht.
Liebe Grüße von Heidrun
Oh, you´re back, nice to see you! Yes, Henry helped! As in "helped"...
Dankeschön, Heidrun - ich habe mich "gehen lassen" - das war nicht richtig! Vom rechten Arm und Höhenangst abgesehen Alles ist noch gut! Liebe Grüße!
I meant a few couple say they never had a disagreement. I didn't believe them.
I could use some luck myself, maybe I should buy green adventurine and wear it.
It took me awhile to understand what you were doing. That's a great idea.
I have never been a fan of Charles, but his speech was quite rousing and to the point. It raised my opinion of him, but I still don't like what he did to Diana.
thank you for understanding my situation on T Tuesday. I also love Harry and I know you are going to love the show, too. I get it once a week with my Brit Club at PBS. BTW, I was visiting your blog when my electricity went off.
Love Henry's enthusiasm!
Yep that would be a lie!
Be very quick! 70% off now at Thingz, they seem to close all over for good, buhuu...
Did I explain in a clumsy way? I´d like to learn to get better!
Yes, I never was much of a fan earlier, but then I saw how sweet the Queen was and how funny her Hubby and Charles is funny and wise, too!
Maybe he was in love with Camilla and forced to marry Diana?
Oh, gosh, electricity went off again?! Ingo got candles and I have a torch right here but that so far... I just bent down and knocked on wood.. never happened here!
Yes, I LOVE that series, and Harry!
He sure will not give up!
