Schneeflocken's first anniversary [Göttingen, Germany]

It's been exactly one year now since I hung up "Schneeflocken" in Göttingen! Now, a year later, I paid it a visit to see how it's doing.

Time and weather have left their marks on it. The white snowflakes have turned grey and become stiff, and so has the rest of the once so soft yarn. It has become a part of the tree, small bugs were crawling under it and whatever other animals left white and brown spots (including bird droppings, of course).

Also, somebody added a red plastic cord on top of it. I saw the same thing attached to another tree where it was holding a sheet of paper. On "Schneeflocken's" tree it must have served the same purpose but the paper was obviously gone.

As a birthday present, I sewed a new label on it. The writing on the old label has faded and was barely readable anymore (see picture on the right), therefore I took it off and replaced it. Now the one-year-old "Schneeflocken" is not only equipped with a brand new blog adress label but also with my blog's QR-code.

And surprisingly, exactly on "Schneeflocken's" (German for snowflakes) first birthday this season's first snow came down today! :-)

HAPPY WINTER AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
