Slip slidin' away

 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

El montaje del armario es maravilloso. Ha quedado precioso con esa puerta corrediza. Es muy original.
Estoy deseando ver que esta destinado para ese centro.
Un saludo

Dear Fluby and Rosey and All the BiWuBaren clan, (Birgit too!) It is wonderful to see the glorious pictures of the BiWuBearys in the Garden for the Summer Edition! I must add that the picture "No.5" of Fluby with his cheeks being kissed by the pretty Pink Pelargoniums made me smile from ear to ear!!! For once, Fluby, do you think that "Pink" can have a good side too??? (And we must remember that those luscious red fruits turn pink on the way to red....!) But I will not say more to embarrass you, I am just happy to see so many pink blossoms in those lovely summer photos! :):) And as for Lasse's new cabinet.... it looks Awesome!!! And those sliding doors are a fabulous feature!!! Open and close without using hinges??? ! :):) I really look forward to seeing more of this cold decor you mention.... we have been so uncomfortably hot over here this summer.... the idea of ice is hard to imagine! But anyway, the silver and blue iridescent colors Birgit has chosen are very effective and "cool" in their appearance! The fact that the shelves can hold such wonders as secret books and snowman jars just proves that this is a perfect cabinet!!! And as the Time "slip slides away..." with it's racing shoes on..... I am as alarmed as you are about the up-coming deadlines for certain Holidays that must remain un-named....!!! Yikes! I fear that Like the White Rabbit of great reknown.... I am running late!!! Too much to do....!!!
:):):):)

Visitar tu jardín siempre es una delicia. Tantas y preciosas flores. Me encanta, y tambien me encanta el armario, es una monada y las puertas correderas son geniales.
Espero ver ese acertijo sobre Paul Simon.
Felices vacaciones.

Hola amigos! Me ha encantado ver la versión de verano de vuestro maravilloso jardín, tan lleno de hermosas flores y descubriros entre ellas además de los pequeños y bondadosos insectos que cada año hacen que florezcan!
El gabinete de Lasse es una maravilla, me encantan sus puertas correderas y que además tenga sitio suficiente para guardar esas maravillas: libros secretos, frascos de muñecos de nieve... y quién sabe qué más cosas!!
Espero que sigáis disfrutando del verano, aunque ya huele a otoño, aquí han bajado de repente las temperaturas, pero sé que aún nos queda verano .
Besos.

Dear Birgit, I love what you have done with the cabinet and the sliding doors. They look very en vogue! I love them. I have some catching up to do reading all the blogposts I have missed these last months, but I am glad to have catched up on yours.

Hugs!

Huibrecht.
