HELLO EVERYONE!

My name is Hipsu. I'm small and friendly little crocheting creature. I told my mom, that I would love to travel and see the World, so mommy made me this travelog. I'm so happy and exited about this hole thing. I'm very curious, and I would like to see how you are living, and what kind of place you are living in. If you are interested about hosting me, just let my mommy mmm105 know about it, please. Thank you!

I was skiing!

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-EvCFvQk0_44/T47fBRWaV6I/AAAAAAAAIuM/toitoI_ZnLU/s572/013.JPG

Others were there, too.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-95O8AFcSdes/T47fDiw8yBI/AAAAAAAAIuk/btb-asG60fg/s640/017.JPG

And we got more company here. ToyVoyagers Finfin ladybug and PinkLady bunny.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Z0mrKN2vSl4/T47fZV2UacI/AAAAAAAAIxU/vJhVRrr8oq0/s640/020.JPG

It's nice to have more toys here!

...But I'm little bit jealous, because I would really want to start my own journey soon... hopefully someone would want to host me soon...

This morning we visited Mersch, a small town 20 km. away from Waldbillig. There we saw the tower of an old church, the new one and a strange creature,

something like Nessy from Scotland!  :D

Today we made also a short day trip to the german Eifel, the weather was not so bad so we could see a lot of nice views,
but have a look yourself!
Lisianne

the big, and I'm mean really big,
dog of hostmum.
But he is very friendly and I can even go with him alone.

In a tree we saw a nest from a bird, but there was nothing inside :(
Lisianne

Lisianne


Posted May 11, 2012, 9:37 am
This two castles are the most closer to my hostmum's farm.
Larochette and Meysembourg, very beautiful to have a look!

For the small country that Luxembourg is they have an old castle nearby in every village, soooo much of them.



For the rest of the day it restart raining, and we had to stay inside!
Lisianne


Posted May 11, 2012, 9:50 am
Today our hostmum took Mush and ThomasHH alone with her in the city of Luxembourg. To show them the city, they go and leave us in the next days :(
For the other TV, she promised to go again in the next time!
So I helped on the farm today, that was nice too, with all the animals.
I've had a lot of pleasure.
Lisianne
