However, this years’ tour is thrilling and spectacular right from the beginning!
The riders seem to be nervous, and there were a lot of accidents and battles
going on in the riders platoon…

[Are you getting tired of me talking about bicycles yet?
Hang in there crafters… there’s something creative in this post too!
It’s even a video, to make up for my ‘sports-talk’]

..

‘The tour’ get’s really interesting (and scary!) though when the tour caravan
reaches the high mountains! It takes a lot of courage and sweat to climb the
‘Col du Tourmalet’ (2115 m) in the Pyrenees and the ‘Col du Galibier (2645 m)
a mountain in the French Alpes.

Heck, it even takes courage to sit on the couch in front of the TV screen…
(picture men throwing themselves from a mountain with 50 miles an hour!)

I found inspiration in the race and wrote a haiku for today’s Haiku my Heart

In my last post, I promised to spoil you today with a video that shows you
the awesome ‘thing’ I made! I keep my promises, so here it is!

This book combines two new (to me) binding techniques that are described
in the book Cover to Cover by Shereen LaPlantz.
(I know, I know – I never can seem to take the easy way!)
The little sign on the front are Japanese characters and says ‘haiku’.
I use this little book to collect all the haiku’s I make for Haiku my Heart.

There’s this special haiku in the ‘hidden section’ (behind the spine)

(‘recuerda mi corazon’ is the name of Rebecca’s ‘haiku my heart’ blog.
It is Spanish and means something like ‘remember my heart’)

It’s mid afternoon my friends… I’m off… it’s time…
Guess what I will be doing the rest of the day 😉

Enjoy your weekend!
