today, a year ago, my grandmother died
the way she always wanted, almost in an INSTANT
gone so fast
.
now my goal is to always make her the most beautiful WREATH (in her opinion)
on the whole graveyard
this one turned out a bit too monutonous for my liking
made of her favorite berries, cuttings from her yew tree (poisonous, but soft and easy to work with)
and some flowers i dried after shooting them in a VASE
(a good excuse for being a severe flower hoarder)
next time i need to get a bit more adventurous
.
a quite unusal christmassy picture of her
dressed up as St. Mary
although at that time she was kind of a wild tomboy
with a even wilder nickname - Waldl
playing the guitar, winning ski races and all
.
we miss her very much
there is so much i want to show her
.
since we gathered so many twigs and berries
i made an other wreath - for the living
don´t know where to put it yet
.
 either my mum gets it or i find a place in my flat for it
there´s not much room left
since i went overboard with all the decorations
that was what i wanted to do when it happend last year
and i think she would have liked it
.
cold and snowy
