Hello,
here we are again! And - is anybody humming this song by Paul Simon now? *grin* Well, don't worry - we don't want to get philosophical about time passing by... (However, we could... I mean it's August! AUGUST!!! This special holiday at the end of the year which shall not be named yet is coming nearer and nearer and some of us don't have the best balance in Santa's Golden Book when it comes to the good points... eh... where was I... ah... yes...) We will get back to this song's title when we're going to show you the cabinet Birgit has built for Lasse's room... after we've shown volume 93939 of our *coughcough* beloved series "And once more many pictures of BiWuBearies in the garden". Summer edition... *grin*
(Btw... once more another song by Simon & Garfunkel is coming to my mind: Scarborough Fair. Well, we only need parsley and sage still as we already have ROSE(mar)Y sitting in the thyme. And yes... Rosey disliked this little joke as much as she already did the first time when I made it last October... tsssssss... when it comes to herb jokes she seems to lose her sense of humour *broad grin*)
And it's always a great thing whenever we happen to meet other fluttery beings during our garden tours. I'm even bowing down now to help you spot her:
Bumblebees are as cute as they are useful, aren't they?
And after all these colours of summer it was time to face a bit of cold and the-you-know-what-holiday-starting-with-C by caring about the North Pole project. In our last post we had told you there were rumours about Birgit building a cabinet for Lasse, the elf boy. And what are we supposed to say - these rumours were true! *LOL* Birgit used once more a kit she had bought from Iriginals... a cabinet she had always liked and which she wanted to use for Lasse's room. And as Lasse's room will receive a special theme this cabinet needed to become special too. These were the beginnings - always following the instructions (and hoping that the BiWuBearies won't cover important informations *giggle*):

For sure one of the big and statement kind of cabinets... *grin* And after some time, work, glue and paint this is the result:
Birgit was over the moon when she found out that the compartments are big enough to host some very special miniatures - the Secret Books made of kits which were gifts from Betsy and the snowman jars we received as a gift from Jodi. The result of our little test fit was: Perfect!

And if you remember Paul Simon and our headline you may perhaps guess the little secret of this cabinet... tadaaaaaa:
Sliding doors!!! How great is that?! And Birgit has a very special idea for filling this big blue center compartment. She's not sure if Plan A will work but if not she would still come up with a Plan B. Both of them would be related with the theme of Lasse's room... and we are curious if anyone of you can already guess it as we have given you a little hint. *smile* And if not... be assured we're revealing it soon. For now we're saying goodbye... of course not without visible evidence that also in August my little sis' and I have been the most helpful bearies around:
Enjoy the rest of August and even more all the little wonders and miracles life has in store.
Hugs
Flutterby & Rosey
