The harmony of the day

 This weekend, I visited the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts' exhibition of stage and costume design at the Palais des Großen Gartens. The Great Garden, located in the heart of Dresden, covers approximately 2 square kilometers and combines Baroque elements with English landscape garden design. It was laid out in 1676 on the orders of the then Elector Johann Georg III, based on French models.

The weather had been dull and rainy all week, so I was waiting for sunshine, and the weekend blessed us all with it... sunshine and blue skies.

There is a park railway...

and three open-air theaters... this is the smallest – the Sun House – where puppet shows are performed. When my children were small, I rode my bike to the shows with them... very often... it was wonderful :-)))

Before I visited the art students' exhibition, I came to the dahlia garden on Fürstenallee... 

Is this a dream?

It's a dream.

I enjoyed it and only photographed a small portion; there are over 60 different varieties.

This magpie also enjoys its kingdom.

I gave her some of my supplies - California almonds.

And... these are the wonderful works of the students...

And this is how my current work is progressing...

Today's task... enjoying the last wonderful days of this fall.

All the best to you all.

Things are moving forward

 

I'm making good progress and it's really fun... I need a total of 80 of these pieces to sew one quilt.

Four pieces are always put together... to later sew rows from them... these are then put together to create the quilt size.

I'll be busy with that for a while. I enjoy creating things :-)) Apart from that, I've had some wonderful experiences in nature.

They still delight us, but the grey mists are already approaching.

...it has so much mystery, the fog, I like all seasons...

I've picked out my lovely hat; I sewed it a while ago... Next Saturday is the fabric market here— maybe I'll find a nice new fabric for a new hat. I sewed it so that it will keep my ears warm.

Strolling along the Elbe in Dresden – with friends and…

 

Coffee and cake... it's always good.

There hasn't been any night frost yet.

Greetings to you all. I hope you have a wonderful time and look forward to reading what you're up to. 

Creating beauty – in that spirit. 

All the best.
