We are taking stock for the year 2024
| Hello everyone, We're back! Yes, unfortunately not much has happened on Mary's Paint Splash in 2024, but we've still accomplished a lot. What, you're probably wondering! We understand, and that's exactly what we want to tell you about in this blog. First of all, we would like to wish you all a happy and successful year 2025. | |
| Turbulent times I can tell you in advance that we had a turbulent year in 2024! First of all, I have to admit that 1. I have no idea how to begin, and 2. it's true, of course, that there was nothing new to discover on the website. Felix out of action One of the reasons we put the website on hold was that I was sidelined by an injury. After three operations and a lot of rehab, I'm doing quite well again and it's getting better all the time. Our chaotic gang, Fido and Enaya Okay, enough of the bad news, there's plenty of good news to share! In February 2024, Mary and I welcomed two adorable four-legged rascals, named Fido and Enaya, into our family. Our two pups certainly keep us on our toes. It's no wonder I called them rascals. Both furry friends bring us so much joy, and our outings in nature are invigorating for both body and mind... better than Red Bull, coffee, and the like. Mary is on constant duty Another reason why there wasn't much to see on the website is that Mary was very busy with her retraining and studying last year. In addition, she also had to constantly act as a confidante, friend, mother, cleaner... er, housewife, nurse, and animal tamer. Thank you so much, my love! Besides dog training, surgeries, rehab, retraining, and all sorts of bureaucratic, household, and recovery-related tasks, we also accomplished a lot for Mary's Paint Splash. Mary worked tirelessly on new designs, projects, and our social media presence. New bonnets for Mary I wasn't quite as productive as usual. Yes, I spent most of 2024 focused on my recovery, but it's going really well! I still managed to take care of a few things, though. I was successful in organizing and procuring materials, and you can look forward to some new hoods. A dream is coming true! The travel preparations are starting. During the time when I was almost completely immobilized, I focused on planning our campervan. You probably remember that we're planning a big trip. We were able to buy the perfect vehicle, a Defender 110 Station Wagon, which we've christened Tigerlily, in April. The planning is almost finished, and we can start the conversion soon. Problem solved...Hooray! Perhaps you remember our "roof terrace or workshop dilemma"... I can tell you, I got a lot of flak for using the roof terrace as a workshop, but we managed to solve that too. Over the last few months, we cleared out the vaulted cellar and converted it into a workshop. So the roof terrace is a roof terrace again, but what can I say, our roof terrace always seems to have two uses. Now it's both a roof terrace and a dog play area. sequel follows If there's any news about the car or the workshop, I'll of course let you know. But I'm especially looking forward to implementing a project by and for you in the workshop soon. The heart and soul of the paint splatter Mary, our busy bee, the heart and soul of Farbklecks, has been incredibly productive in all areas, and I'm already looking forward to presenting all the new pieces to you soon. I'm especially excited to announce that Mary's Farbklecks art will soon be available for purchase. We will be offering selected pieces for sale here on the website and on Etsy. Okay, I've talked enough now! Mary and I are looking forward to 2025! Those of you who are curious can find even more news and interesting facts about the Farbklecks projects on Instagram and Facebook. PS I'm especially proud of my sweetheart's posts. They turned out great! Feel free to visit us at: Greetings from Augsburg Mary and Felix |         |
