Yes, I know it's still October ....... Halloween is not even over, but my "Christmas baking" is in full swing.
While once only made of fabric. Just now is not a finished, it has not even managed to be photographed, because my husband is away just now and professionally for 2 weeks will fly to Germany and we quickly took a sweet gift. 4 Gingerbread Men, sorry three gingerbread men and 1 gingerbread woman, were already in his luggage and then has something lacking for his sister. So we still sewn together, filled, decorated, painted and currently sits on the gingerbread man or the back seat in the car and waits until his hands and feet are dry.
Also, I'm super happy today because my ordered wool from Germany has come today. Such great colors and so nice cotton yarn. Swarm, I do not even know where to start ...... I now sew the first ....... or crochet first ...... or both at once?
Lach, the evenings will be filled and if my husband comes back, there are new creative supplies.
One question I have to get rid of all of you Filzerinnen. I would like to order a book about wet felting. I have indeed done this before, back in Germany, one evening in the parish and knows roughly how it's done, but I'd like nice instructions for fly mushrooms, hearts, felt egg warmer and so on. Can you give me a good Book Recommendation? How good is 1 x 1 of felting? If you ordered felting wool for felting, where there are good and soft felt wool?
today I found this cute saying on the Internet and would like to send you this nice in a weekend.
This weekend we have not so much before. Parents' Day tomorrow at school of girls and oh yes, tomorrow we will look also 5 weeks old cats. Noo, my rich 5 from me completely, but since about 8 weeks living here a very nice German couple with 2 children and when they were with us last week at the grill, she said she would like a cat. So we have asked for our vet and he knew, of course, someone immediately, wishing to dispose of the cats. Yes, and this we will look at tomorrow. Please, let me stand firm . Remain There are 2 cats that are to be taught and my girlfriend wants to have only one. Laughing, but maybe I should better stay home.
I know, I'm just very rare and I'm still not make a right to read your blogs. But Simon has just completed a play therapy started and I am also in the afternoon travel a lot to look up at the beginning really know if it also brings something. At the moment I am not convinced, but we'll see.
Grins, at least I could unpack my Häkelsachen on Monday, while I had to wait and free-style started to crochet baby shoes. Tomorrow it goes on.
am doing nothing but I do not ....... especially in the evening when everything is finally in bed and asleep.
I have sewn a lot lately andd as are my two owls from yesterday. I like owls a lot and so I had to just paint on a section.
May I introduce .......
Loulou
and Shu Shu
And I'm really looking forward to a large supply of wool. I have 30 balls Schachenmayr Catania ordered to indulge in my crochet. Thanks to Andrella ..... I know this is not wool, but you have mentioned it so often.
An acquaintance of ours who lives here in Sri Lanka is currently in Germany and comes back at the weekend and bring me with my wool. There are unfortunately only acrylic wool. Lach, and since my husband next week for 2 weeks in Germany, of course, first I needed supplies to me to pass the time. Neiiiin, it is not ........ but then again so was the impatience.
This is from my last remains ncoh etstanden that I had brought in the summer. Was also a great cotton yarn from Lana Grossa.
I think with you, is the fall in full. I miss him very bad doll.
After the typhoon, I indulged with the concentrated first Annie Noh-Power.
Kousuke, a friend, we half a year ago on the German Gasshuku - got to know (something like a German camp to learn Japanese, German travel together and continue to learn), me and the rest of us invited to Halle, a Noh workshop to visit at his university. I was thrilled and said the same, and Annika. Erik and Nami creased yet (no time and no money - you know, Noh is quite expensive), but also wanted to after Kosuke said that it was free, plus a Japanese friend of Erik.
Liane called me just before the meeting and said: "Erik is sick and can not come" and she and Nami, that somehow came along too, did not find the way ... So that Annie and I first had to find the unknown to us Japanese woman who then found us, thanks to Erik's description: "Shu ... Um ... who has white blonde hair" Kousuke we could not pick up, unfortunately the train station. He was assistant could not get away, but called me in twice and asked if everything is okay and we could find the way ^ ^ entschudligte And each time that he could not come.
The Japanese introduced himself as zockelten Tomomi and we go together. It was then when we entered the campus, first quite extensive, but finding the Verantstaltungsortes was not hard. Once in the hall - by the way almost all the women semi-formal to formal in costume - we wanted to sit down a little bit behind. But Nope, not us! Kousuke waved to us, that we are barely went in, to himself and led us from the back row at all the people passing by in the first row: Special places firekt front of the stage! Since then I shone with my hair in front of me and Annie and I were first Baff. ...
For Noh: Noh is an ancient form of Japanese theater, the plays usually go pretty long - for hours. Perhaps we see it as an old form of the musical today, because it is sung and danced, but also spoken. Since 14 Century, there are about this kind of game. The costumes look like my idea of the Genji Monogatari, people wearing masks, at least the ones who embody the characters and the chorus of the page.
often do not wear masks, the actors, the "chorus" on the edge again. interesting: In general, all men - even in women's roles! Such was the nunmal.Immerhin earlier we can look at it ...
...
Links: Genji costume. Something had to Kousuke. Right: A Noh mask. Had we de deity.
kyo gene are small, shorter pieces that are there that the audience laughs. In between, very helpful, because in a Noh play passiet now not so much exciting as it seemed. We danced as a god around for a while. These pieces are text, so it is spoken. There are few roles, like this two or three, you have to think his way not only into a great relationship structure. And yes, there are all men - even the women. Our
Workshop went so wrong with the Kyo-Gen. An old man and apparently his son go. I understood little, despite the text on the nut Schoß.Ich've forgotten even my dictionary. But simply as they spoke, expressed some. The emphasis for me was malnchmal to shoot. came after the match, the "father" again on the stage and was the man who led us through the program interviewed. The "father" told us how important the voice, the accent and the gestures and so on is. One part was understood:)
was then still a lot stated. I found it very interesting, as it came to the musical instruments. There, you automatically understand everything, because much too was shown on the instruments. So you probably need a flute and two small hand drums. In presentation material, and they were explained to us, but also how to play, including a small sample. The flute sound like they are from the old samurai films ever hear of temples: Very high and sometimes "shrill". The drums ... well, to accompany the flute from the old samurai films, "sing" And the men do. One drummer (whispered by the way strong, I barely understood what every t was a f. ..) always made a "Joooooooo. Kept awake. The other was a "jep". No kidding!
Here Jooooooo - Kotsuzumi (the name of the drum)
was a head when Kousuke See by volunteers than before (he was wearing a small label on his shirt that says "Volontieer" - volunteers) was brought to the stage play costume dolls. Now was the previous "Yes, I have to again later on stage," a very different sense, because I'm helping build something ... Nope! He was living doll, the more layers of the costume were grown. Apparently at that time were thick butt into fashion because was with a layer of extra fabric still enlarging. In the costume could be seen even that Kousuke still a suit (jacket heights) was wearing underneath.
shame that we took no pictures, just because of him I would have liked to have one * laughs * Funny it, just as he was should be easily available gebäugt forward. Japanese have somehow not a physical feeling - unlike ego can not explain that it was not, despite continuing pressures on the part of the drawing udn dress men and the audience was very amused. As Kousuke go with the costume, had to first right. He will forgive me, but it was only because of the costume! But he was like a cock ...
Then came the real Noh play that mattered with 30 minutes to lose. That did it too, because it was not happening much more than that a God a while, danced and waved to the fans, whose movements are then collected weider again. You erzähltn probably a story that we did not understand. And the song of the men on the side is also repeated as the drums in a heavy rhythm. In the long run you had to keep alive but badly ...
So you see me, what this now really is: Here is a relatively "lively" game with more sounds, vocals udn Co:
Yes, after 2 hours was also the Workshop on end and I felt a lot smarter. Somehow it was interesting!
Oh, will the photos from the campus, I do not include you. DA were we take pictures xD
Huhuuu, roars udn whistles, it storms and ... naja snow, not do it once. But the last few days has been raining very heavily until this morning that my shoes were soaked in 5 minutes.
The Japanese already make for quite a while panic because the typhoon, the last few days there is hardly any other topic of conversation. I have also followed on the Internet the calculated route. But instead of having as the Japanese fear, I was happy. In Germany one never gets to face a typhoon here in Japan that happens often. That's why I was curious: What's the one thing everyone so afraid?
.. .
links: Play in infrared absorption. Right: vaporized. Where's Japan?
Now I sit in my room turns out, the full tuition. The tracks are no longer 9:00 to 11:30 down, so Annie was indeed to Shinagawa, but no farther. Also, not back. On the Internet there are warnings (storms, heavy rain, high waves, storm surge) and what is it? It seems just the sun and it is almost no wind. But if the fact that we grade the eye are. Since there is no wind.
Source: Japan Meteorological Agency. Red: Direct typhoon. Bid: storm environment that draws the part with him. Me: Right side, above the Strip.
the Internet, the typhoon dubbed as the worst siet 10 years and a Japanese friend Mail sees it that way. I still find harmless. Is perhaps the fact that next to my balcony a staircase protrudes and right next to my balcony to another house a little further there is, so I'm really shielded from the wind. That would only be different if he zukäme front of me. So I stand also in the worst squalls on the balcony and look forward to. Annika wrote me that in her Improvement of the wind sometimes quite to the balcony door. Hmm, strange. I remember nothing of the kind (other side) ^. ~
rain does not irgednwie. Funny, should not be a typhoon, a storm with rain?
Some Japanese seem to be the case with the strongest typhoon in 10 years to find not so bad. Just leave their umbrellas hanging on the window sill, the bicycle stand outside and also the Wäschspindel must endure and hope. Hats while the practice range for golf ball tees hats also taken. Part of the uncured to catch balls blowing in the wind.

now start again with a bit of labor. Already funny, makes everything panic and self-seat pull on the PC and windows open habs oO Funny clouds circle over our heads, the sky was clear, it was sunny. Which seems still, the clear sky is again covered by clouds (a little) and it blows again. You can hear the wind slowly blowing around the house and whistle through the ventilation hood. The clouds are gathering funny squiggle. Time directly from a, sometimes everything is beautiful and on the horizon at the skyscrapers you can see a wall of clouds.
Where the rain remains now is a mystery to me. Has probably the three days before been raining. Really, it was three days of rain without a break! Crazy!
orbiting clouds?
But storm when the sun is crazy ^. ~ Where's the rain? The was tonight. What have I done? Deep and sound asleep, while all that I know of which have become awake. Crap! > _>
downer here is that you will not be informed as exchange students. Furthermore I am also a little sour. If my teacher Mrs. Murata not that would have called me over phone and reassured me: If tomorrow the lessons does not precipitate you but is too dangerous to stay home, no problem! - Then I would rely on the Keio. They may have written an email that we could find on the following pages of information on lessons, but gave only a quarter to 9, are being canceled the first two hours. Since you are already at the university. Or is stuck like Annika. And on the afternoon class we should be informed at 10.30. At 11 still was nothing, just something in Japanese. I once called, had to decide so slow, whether I go or not. Until I see the phone number of the International Center have found (not available on contact, but when approaching), it took a short (thank you Annie!) And after my call was 11.10 The site also written for us exchange students with limited Japanese skills all in English: FAIL!
