STRESS

Christmas stress, I think everybody knows that normal kind of stress before the christmas eve. Hunderts of presents want to be packaged and finding the right present for your sister, mother, father or a friend could be so difficult. We love all these people and want to see this bright smile in their face when they'll open the gift of us. Nevertheless we students doesn't have so much money that we are allowed to buy the perfect one which could be expensive, than the alternatives have their chance and these thinks in the store for the lower buget. I've already bought the most presenst two weeks ago and I'm really happy about that. Now, I only have to make the selfmade presents however is that also work.
Knitting a scarf and bandana until Christmas eve is a challenge. The time is running. Though I have to sew a bag, too.
Albeit my life isn't that 'looking forward to Christmas' at the moment. Since two weeks claim the school from me everything. Within these days it's the reason why I wasn't allowed to write here something. I had two exams last week which were horrible for me. This week I've written three exams in the space of two days. When i'll get them back, they wont be a good grade. It's so annoying!

Aside from that I have to write a project paper about ten sites until thursday. Actually a classmate celebrated his birthday at the weekend but since Friday 4pm I was living in the cellar for writing this project paper. My nerves were frazzled, hardly any sleep and the science that I'll have to learn for the exams either. I haven't been finished with this project paper because the layout makes problems, when than the pdf data won't work at 2am is it quite a bilious temper.
In case if you'll have one day such a situation, the dart board is a good agression. Normal my darts land anywhere in the room two meters far away from it but at this 2am my darts were like in a wonder on the dart board, all of them!!

I've only taken all darts and look they are on the board

So than we have normal christmas stress, school stress but there is also a third stress which I have for plenty of time. My parents. They are like enemies especially before Chrismas or Birthdays. They have so much stress with each other. It's so inksome for me, they handle like little childs and argue often. It's a reason for no drinking alcohol. A lot of friends had already asked my why not but I haven't wanted to say anybody this with my broken family. I'm afraid of drinking and than saying anybody it, because it hurt my heart to much. Nevertheless now before Christmas it's worst. They can't give each other the hand and looking in the eyes. My mum have their midlife crisis and alleg my dad an us (the childs) everything we ever done wrong in their eyes. Or even what she had done for us. I only want that that nightmare will end. Yes, at the moment for me it isn't important which solution but I want that they'll find one with which everybody can live. I'm afraid of saying all these things about my family when I drink some alcohol, because I know that I get fast drunken. Sometimes I wish I only can open my heart in real and say how I'm feeling to people I love because they are my friends but than I would say a friend that I'm not sure if I have feelings for him. Yes, I'm afraid of getting a more broken heart than now, because my best friends for a long time hurted me.

Nevertheless I with you all a great Christmas time and hope you don't have this stress like me. If yes, I'll always have an open ear for you. You only have to contact me, it could be a little bit research on my blog but i promise it works.
Sorry last time my English isn't that great.

The TRY: knitting for winter

Who doesn't love it knitted things of the grandmother no matter if socks, beanies or scarfs. We love handmade knitted things.

A lot of humans have this typical picture of somebody who knits: A knitter should often be a old lady, maybe grandmother, the wools are on the ground and maybe there is a cat playing with that wool. 

It's a huge prejudice that only old woman can knitting great things and they are good in it. I won't say that I'm a good knitter but I love knitting in the winter time. Since last year's winter where I tried to knit because I wanted to save money. Today I know when you are knitting you don't really save a lot of money, because when you madde things by yourself you are looking a lot more for quality than when you buy something finished in a clothing store. 

It's ok that the price could be simular like them in stores nevertheless you definately have a better quality and this is worth a mint. I promise you self made knitted things are the best, no matter if from a friend or the grandmoter, mother. 

when you know the basics of knitting left and right stitches you have the best requirements, a little bit of exercise and it'll work. Bandanas are great for the beginning because you see early a result where you can be proud of. Somehow I like headbands more than hats, whereas I have more a headband face.

Learn knitting could be difficult at the beginning. Some weeks ago I tried to adduce two of my classmates knitting and they had their problems with it. The stitches wouldn't stay on the needels. For me it was quite funny to watch boys fighting with the knitting needels and stitches. Nevertheless they did their best and the attemp wasn't that bad. For me watching youtube videos about knitting helped a lot. So you can rummage the youtube stage or if you like that I show you some basics it would be great when you write me a message that I'll know that. 

In the interim for me knitting is the best occupation alongside watching TV, going by train or even in my school lessons. It sounds quite funny, I know, knitting in school, and I have to admit it is. A lot of classmates or teacher looking to you and grins, some students have already asked if I could make them something. My seatmate will sometimes be called from my teacher because he's watching the knitting thing on my desk. He says when I'm knitting it reassures him. In addition to that me either.  

What do you think it is great that young people like you and I like knitting or is it something for old ladies? What would been your reaction when you saw me knitting in a train or in school? 

In the following you can see my very first toque which I've began twice to knit, the first result was terrible. The toque is a little bit too big for my head but what of it? It's my first toque.

Christmas decoration

It's Chrismas time. I'm sure everyone love it, it exist a big secret and you are looking forward to Christmas eve. I have to say, I had learnt a lot for school in the last weeks and haven't had time for backing Chrismas cookies yet. What it doesn't make it better is that until now i hadn't had decorated anything. 

Ok to my defense, here in Germany it doesn't look like December outside, more than spring.

Nevertheless I took out the box with the big writing Christmas decoration and will show to you a little bit.

I don't know why, but I love tins. In These little boxes you can put in little things for example Sweets or tiny little presents for friends. They are so sweet. Therfore are tins my Christmas decoration. Mine are from the Silver Crane Company and I think I have around fifteen of tins only for decorating my room.  

You can find simular Silver Crane Things on the Internet for example by Amazon or eBay.

 

Here you can see my favourite cup. No lie I could drink out of it anytime, no matter if it's summer or winter. The moose on it with the candy cane makes me happy every day.

I know I'm so cheesy.  

In the end a Coca Cola canned beverage with the writing "Mach anderen eine Freude" in German. In Englisch it means make others happy. I don't know why it's also my decoration but hey it's Christmas time and this is a limited Edition every single year with Santa Clause.
