Stop Your Messing Around

admin | August 26, 2010

……………

“Stop your messing around

Better think of your future

Time to straighten right out

Creating problems in town

Rudi, a message to you

Rudi, a message to you” ( lyrics, The Specials )

……………

The Skating Monkey the Management of The Vintage Fairy Tales,

has a message to me,

Becky.

- Learn to breathe properly,

relax and lower your shoulders,

do not waste energy on those who do not appreciate you as much as I do,

and stay focused on the afternoon tea!

I think he may be right in everything he says.

Yes, sometimes I need guidance.

……………

Love/

Becky

……………..

……………

……………

“Love is all you need”  ( The Beatles )

………….

The Skating Monkey and my other friends in The Vintage Fairy Tales

make sure that my life is full of love.

I don´t know what the situation is for you ,

but at least I have a long list of other things that I also need.

Well well, I don´t want to bore  you with “my list” because today is a very special day

when we forget about all that stuff and concentrate on LOVE.

The Vintage Fairy Tales family proudly presents a new member, a little princess.

My dear friends Sam and Grant got a little daughter yesterday!

Congratulations!

……….

My very dear and talented classmate from the Julie Arkell workshop,

Jone Hallmark has made the beautiful felted hearts.

Love to all of you/

Becky

admin | July 21, 2010

Welcome,

it´s time for elegant afternoon tea party in The Vintage Fairy Tales!

“How do we get a hottie like this to a party like that?”

Well, Pablo must attend, it´s his eighteen birthday party!

He has promised to serve all you lovely ladies, the best tea in the finest china.

Dress code?

The Management, The Skating Monkey says:

- Less is more,

but if you feel like wearing some nice and hilarious jewelry,

you will get some extra scones with clotted cream and raspberry jam.

Some People Say That We Are Not Rappers. We’re Rappers.

admin | July 14, 2010

Julie Arkell, France 2010

…………….

………….

………….

“Some people say that rappers don’t have feelings
We have feelings
We have feelings
Some people say we’re not rappers
We’re rappers
That hurts our feelings
That hurts our feelings when you say we’re not rappers
Some people say that rappers are invincible
We’re vincible
What you are about to hear are true stories
Real experiences
Autobiographical raps
All true
Bring the rhymes” (lyrics by Flight of the Conchords)

……..

No hasty conclusions from this, we are not rappers,

We are teacher´s pets.

We have feelings and we love our teacher, Julie.

Thank´s for a great workshop!

I Can Reach Out To You, With My Own Two Hands

admin | July 8, 2010

…………….
“I can change the world
With my own two hands
Make it a better place
With my own two hands
Make it a kinder place
With my own two hands” (lyrics Ben Harper )

…………..

I´m back from  France!

Jone, my friend from the workshop in Briançon,

is definitely making the world a brighter place.

She brings sunshine wherever she goes!

The beautiful brooch and the flowers are some of her stitching projects from the workshop.

The Skating Monkey wants to discuss art and craft with true professionals and he invites

all my friends from the workshop for afternoon tea,

in The Vintage Fairy Tales garden.

Well, anyone who wants to make the world a better place is WELCOME!

Be prepared for lots of laughs and artistic work.

The Skating Monkey is the world´s best host and ensures that the pastries will never end.

Stay tuned, I will be back with lots of nice photos from the workshop!

Love/

Becky

I´m Going Up The Country,Babe Don´t You Wanna Go

admin | June 27, 2010

…………..

“I´m going up the country, babe don´t you wanna go

I´m going to some place where I never been before

I´m going,I´m going where the water tastes like wine

We can jump in the water stay drunk all the time” ( lyrics Alan Wilson, Canned heat)

…………

Oh please do not worry about me.

I´m going,I´m going to the promised land,

and I would be very surprised and even upset, if the water tasted anything but water.

The Skating Monkey is slightly worried though, about “the jump in the water thing”…

There is no ground for anxiety,

I will probably be stitching and knitting all night long.

…………

See you soon my friends,

I´m going to travel to France for attending a workshop with Julie Arkell.

Love/

Becky

I Want My Baby, I Don´t Mean Maybe

admin | June 19, 2010

………………

You got to love me

You got to kiss me

You got to squeeze me

You got to miss me

You got to hold, hold me in your arms

And that´s enough, well

Oh, that´s enough” ( Ray Charles )

………….

We are like soldiers of love in The Vintage Fairy Tales.

We fight for love and for afternoon tea.

When our beautiful and kindhearted Crown Princess chose a man of the people,

we supported her wholeheartedly.

From the beginning the lovers had to fight hard against evil forces,

before they could show their love in public.

Now, we are having Happy Days  with a royal wedding going on.

In the Vintage Fairy Tales we are all princes and princesses,

even if we don´t really believe in the monarchy.

We don´t need a king, we are very happy with our Management ,

The Skating Monkey!

…………

Mixed media characters made by me, inspired by my absolute favourite artist ,Julie Arkell.

Love from me to you/

Becky
