<span style="color: #0b5394;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></i></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I've had ups and downs since the last time I posted on my blog.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">My family, Erik ( my lovely man ), FB friends and your comments dragged me through some really dark episodes and I feel I'm getting grips on the illness now.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Last week I even felt like creating again !!! I can't work for long at the time but the feeling is back and I think that is a huge improvement !</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></i></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">My dream is to sell this house in Vianen and entirely dedicate my life to creating art, together with Erik, in our German house.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Well, that's on hold for a bit....</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">So I wanted to share this dream-project from Jo and Dylan James aka Cart Before the Horse.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I've never had idols in my life, never been the type of girl who could be hysterically cry in admiration of some pop stars. I have to confess, I would have to severely constrain myself if I ever have an opportunity of meeting Jo and Dylan :-) To me these wonderful people are living my dream.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">And now.....they have come up with the ultimate dream !</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I'd say, read all about it and grant them a piece of their wish by donating a little or big part of their dream.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">And there is a bonus ! You will be rewarded !!</span></span></i></span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">First, I have to apologize to all of my readers.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I can imagine you may have questions about my absence and I will explain it .</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></i></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Well, I've written months ago about the pain in my hip and eventually I did go to the Doctor.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">He send me to a physiotherapist, but after 2 months, no improvement, the physiotherapist send me back to the Doc.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I also had a sore breast and well, the Doc put one and one together and send me to hospital for X rays.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">After a long day of being send to several hospital departments the Doctor diagnosed me with breast and bone cancer.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">He told me there was no cure, not operable, just suppressing the cancer with Chemo.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I said thanks but no thanks to the Doc and went home. </span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">We ( my family) cried for some days and I began to think of a approach to cure this myself.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I am convinced practically all diseases have their origins in the mind. I know this may sound very harsh to people who are ill but I can't help thinking this and I am like that for all of my life.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I can even <span style="font-size: large;">tell when this cancer-thing started.</span> </span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I know I had to do some serious " soul-searching " and...the me that I am...didn't want anybody to know about my illness. When I am ill I'm like an animal, I want to isolate myself until it's gone.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Well, I know now that wasn't the way to handle this, I mean cancer is a serious illness and it involves pain and you can't hide it from your loved ones. I had to let them help me.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">One after another came with alternative medicines like exotic fruit and baking soda, and for their sake I swallowed all kind of stuff but I am still convinced I have to do this with my mind<span style="font-size: large;">, but I under<span style="font-size: large;">stood their concern and especially their fear.</span></span></span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">They stand behind my choice nevertheless . </span></span></span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Luckily I have this wonderful man who I can talk to and we cleaned a lot of my garbage together.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">And ! Very important ! We are positive ! I don't see this cancer as an evil-doer,<b>malignant, </b> it's an alarm from my body.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">At the moment I feel great, I still have to walk with crutches but it's getting better and better.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">The past months I had sore ribs, the pain travelled from one side from my body to another and I don't know if that's from the crutches or the cancer but I don't want to know.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> I don't want to know any of the symptoms related to this type of cancer.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Because of this painful ribs I couldn't needle felt, sneeze, do the vacuum cleaning :-) but since last week the ribs feel normal again. </span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">In the meanwhile I've told some good friends about it and I could never think of the positive supportive reactions I got ! </span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I was afraid that they would try to convince me to take Chemo and would think I'm crazy.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Since I've told my friends, I feel relieved.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I had a hard time feeling a hypocrite when they asked me what was going on and I made excuses.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">They are real treasures, these friends.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Another thing I've learned is when you let people get close ( AND FOR CRYING OUT LOUD ! I AM A PERSON WHO BELIEVES WE ARE ALL CONNECTED !!! ) you can really physically feel their love !!! although they are on the other side of the world !!</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">For now, I take one day at the time, live in the here and now, have faith in the ability of my body's self-healing and appreciate and immensely enjoy friendship and the love of my family !</span></span></i></span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Haven't been here for a long time and I apologize.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Life has given me quite a few lemons lately and I'm trying hard to make lemonade of it but I didn't find the right recipe yet.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I've had crates of lemons in the past and I've managed to make lemonade out of them but there comes a time that you are sick and tired of them and must find a new way to make it digestible this time.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">I know we all go through some hard times at one time or another and I will be fine but for now I don't feel fine.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">So please have a little patience, I'm trying hard to overcome myself :-)</span></span></i></span><br />

<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Okay, we went to Germany again on July the 28.</span></i></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">My heart started beating very fast when we approached the Mountain House.</span></i></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">I had this strange premonition concerning Uncle Ukki . . . . </span></i></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">When we arrived we had the most strange welcome !</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">There was a gnome sitting on the stairs, he had a big yet a bit alarming smile on his face !</span></i></div>
<i style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">And oh my oh my ! He introduced himself but he spoke in such a strange dialect the only thing I could make out of his words was his name : Adular </span></span></i><br />
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">We asked him if he met Uncle Ukki and why he wasn't here to greet us but his words were such a puzzling mix of French and Rhineland-Palatinate dialect we didn't understand a thing !</span></i></div>
<i style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Oh yes, "wine" that was the only word we thought we could make out of his jibber jabber !!?</span></span></i><br />
<i style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">So Erik and I decided after a long discussion ( usually alcohol doesn't make things simple) to give him some wine.</span></span></i><br />

<i style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Well, that was a big help ! NOT !!! After finishing the entire bottle the only thing he did was sing a German song :</span></span></i><br />
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><b>"Heil dir im Siegerkranz"</b> (German for "Hail to Thee in Victor's Crown") it was from 1871 to 1918 the unofficial national anthem of the German Empire. Previously, it had been the anthem of Prussia, the melody of the hymn derived from the British anthem "God Save the Queen".</span></i></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Because of the melody we were utterly more confused and decided to lure him to bed so we could spend some quite time on the terrace and think what to do.</span></i></div>
<i style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">No sign of Ukki ! </span></span></i><br />

<i><span style="font-size: large;">I'm so sorry you may have been on the lookout for Uncle Ukki's story about his adventure :-(</span></i></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">I strained my hip before we went to Germany and I could hardly walk. I couldn't take pics ( it involves bending and crawling between the rocks and bushes ) and Uncle Ukki is on his own now in Germany :-I.</span></i></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Because of that hip-thing I lost my Mojo.</span></i></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"> I'm normally a person who doesn't walk but run ( not on purpose I can't help it) and I'm so frustrated about it. I walk like Quasimodo and as a result my knee hurts too, hahahaa I sound like a little kid.</span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-size: large;">Can't take Pinky for a walk ( he does his walkies with Erik and Arthur) and I'm shuffling a bit between my kitchen and the bedroom.</span></i></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">I've got real painkillers today ( !!!) and I hope it will be back to normal soon.</span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-size: large;">The little "vacation" in Germany was nevertheless wonderful.</span></i></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">The minute we arrived our neighbour came almost running to us and told us that there were two fox cubs sitting on our doorstep some 10 minutes before we arrived !</span></i></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Well, this neighbour is a real outdoors man, lived his entire life in this woody area and still he was so enthusiastic !</span></i></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">In the week that followed we had a visit from a fox cub on our terrace but this time Pinky went berserk and the cub ran off.</span></i></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Erik was invited by our neighbour to watch a soccer game and when he came into his house the neighbour whispered to him : come quick, look out the window !</span></i></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">And there she was ! The Mama fox ! The neighbour has a big box of old bread outside which he feeds to his rabbits and Mama fox just came by to grab herself a loaf :-)</span></i></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Ha ! Apparently she collected the loafs, in the bushes next to our house was a big pile of bread loafs ! </span></i></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">In the evening you could hear nibbling sounds and I imagined the complete fox family having dinner.</span></i></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">There is a little stream behind the house, the house is on a hill and you can look down on the stream if it wasn't such a jungle :-). The stream attracts animals of course ( YAY ! ) and besides the fox family ( there were 4 cubs ) we heard wild boar late at night and early in the morning there was a deer. </span></i></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">The deer came every morning and Erik managed to take a pic :-)</span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-size: large;">Uncle Ukki packed his bag, rolled up his sleeping mat and waves goodbye.</span></i></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">To answer some questions he would like to explain that the Tomb is indeed several of hundreds of years old.</span></i></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">It's supposed to be surrounded by a "field", all creatures great and small can see the Burial-sight because they have this so called " impression vision".</span></i></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Uncle Ukki will explain later what that means.</span></i></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Humans don't have the "impression vision" any more, well that is to say, rumours are more and more humans are rediscovering this ability.</span></i></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">And that is why Uncle Ukki is so anxious to find out who took these photo's and why these photo's were send to him.</span></i></div>
<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">

<i><span style="font-size: large;">This week Uncle Ukki received two photographs by Mole-mail ( as in the animal ).</span></i></div>
<div style="color: #783f04; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Very very disturbing, the photo's are from a Gnome tomb.</span></i></div>
<div style="color: #783f04; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Gnomes are buried too but it's on a secret location and no human ever discovered their whereabouts.</span></i></div>
<div style="color: #783f04; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">There are several locations on the world and luckily Uncle Ukki recognized this Tomb so he is going away for a while to investigate.</span></i></div>
<div style="color: #783f04; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">All he will tell us it's in Germany in a hill called "Schloß Berg " .</span></i></div>
<div style="color: #783f04; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">He expects to be back Saturday June 30.</span></i><br />

<i><span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to make more Sloths, twins !</span></i></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">And a bit smaller then the other two, the other two are life size 4 Months old and these about 1,5- 2 Months.</span></i></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">I found the noses where good ( especially the first sloth baby) but it took forever to paint, paint again, paint again and varnish.</span></i></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">So I decided to experiment with rubber/latex ?!!</span></i></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">I made a nose with a bit of mouth out of clay, then a plaster mold of the clay nose/mouth.</span></i></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">The liquid latex must be applied with a brush in a thin layer on the inside of the plaster mold. </span></i></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">You have to let it dry and apply another layer, eventually you have to build up eight layers of latex.</span></i></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">I did two layers :-) , quick dried it with the blow dryer and then poured the latex in the mold and poured it out again. Again the blow-dryer on the hottest temperature and VOILA ! </span></i></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">The rubber nose has a softer feel but I didn't figure out yet how to paint it. I used a skin-coloured latex and painted it with acrylic paint , it holds but I don't think you can get an even layer.</span></i></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">You can not use oil-based paint on rubber ( oil is a NO NO on rubber) so that is something I have to figure out.</span></i></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Here is a close-up :</span></i></div>

<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"> You can glue it with the liquid latex on the wool ( very firm) and and . . . . with the reverse felting needle you can pull out wool through the rubber and make it a bit hairy :-)</span></i></div>
