I had my PhD defense last Tuesday and went right back to the field on Wednesday and Thursday. Not really for work, more for fun. Yes, I had to clean up my field sites, but it was not hard work and I had time to take some pictures.
This weekend I was in Bern and next week I will try to get some new stamps into the shop. And of course relax, go swimming and enjoy the sun as long as the weather is fine.
And yes I past!!!
I am on a short, unexpected trip in Paris. I know, I have just been away, and I should get ready for my important talk next week. But I got a chance to go to Paris and figured I can also practice in Paris. Anyway a change would do me good. So here I am, not only enjoying the city but also getting ready for next Tuesday.
I spent some days in Montenegro in Virpazar near Skadar Lake. I went hiking, with a group of Biologist. Everybody was interested in some other flower, bird, snake or anything made by nature. Therefore, some people of the group got lost after 30 min wondering of looking for giant spiders. After ages the group was complete again and we could start climbing the mountain in 35°C.
Everyday we went swimming in the lake. The water was very warm but still refreshing.
Montenegro is a beautiful country with very friendly people and worth a visit. Unfortunately it was so hot that I only managed to make a few good shots.
My last post has been some time ago and the reason for that is that I had to finish my PhD. I handed it in 2 weeks ago and will have my defense in 10 days. I feel very relieved already and have time to do other things than write.
Today my little nephew visited me. He has grown a lot and is smiling as soon as you look at him.
I also created a new stamp today. Suddenly I am totally into whales. And I decided to make a new serie with whales: blue whale, orca, sperm whale, grey whale and maybe a narwhale or humpback whale. The blue whale is ready.

In time for the birth of my tiny little nephew Len a new stamp set is ready to be sold in the store. Have a look.
Mr K. and I have an obsession for old and beautiful glas bottles, jars and vases. Here are some ideas how to use them:
– Bottle: put a long, thin candle into a bottle and use it as a candle holder. It will look nice after a while when the wax starts to drip down.
– Vase: decorate a vase with twine. Use different colours.
– Jar: put a picture inside a jar. You can put whatever you like inside. I use it for our pens.
– Bottle: simply use a bottle as a vase.
– Jar: make a candle light
– Bottle: we serve water in these water bottles from restaurants or hotels whenever we have guests.
I thought the knitting season was over, but the weather made me start knitting again. Here some recent pieces. These are things I made from the supercraft kit I told you some time ago. The pattern for the hat is form artig&fein.
