Have a happy 1st advent!

*tadaaa* This is our brand-new advent calendar, made by 11 illustrators (including me) from Weimar.
One has to pick up a scissor every day to cut open the folded page and then one can see what picture is inside.

Sadly I live in Germany, so this means I have to wait till I can watch certain movies. Like these: Originally two lovely children's books by two great authors, now made into movies by two awesome directors…»Where the wild things are« by Maurice Sendak, directed by Spike Jonze starts on December, 17th *yippie*. The start of »Fantastic Mr. Fox« by Roald Dahl, directed by Wes Anderson, has been postponed to May, 13th in 2010 *buuuuh*

Our poor pumpkin is feeling his old age now.

Rainy days are perfect to retreat with a thrilling book.

Have a nice, laid-back weekend!

Learnt new words today: »TRISKAIDEKAPHOBIE«, the fear of the number 13. The specific fear of Friday the13th is called PARASKEVIDEKATRIAPHOBIA or FRIGGATRISKAIDEKAPHOBIA. Sounds like magic spells. Not a good day today for those who have these phobias.

Autumn fabric leaves...someone put them on a tree in my neighbourhood.

Totally love the woods at this time of the year. Definitely explains how Grimm’s fairy tales happened to exist.
