Good day, sunshine!

Hallo, Ihr Lieben, beim Aufräumen und Ausmisten meiner Rumpelkammer im verangenen Sommer, habe ich leider feststellen müssen, dass meine heiß geliebte und schon seit 15 Jahren immer wieder gerne aufgehängte Fensterdeko für den Advent nun schon ziemlich ramponiert aussieht. Ich habe die Heiligen Drei Könige damals auf Windradfolie mit Window-Color gemalt und sie gehörten zu jedem Advent einfach dazu. unser altes Mobile Neu: auf Pappe Nun habe ich beschlossen, sie zu erneuern. Da ich keine Windradfolie mehr vorrätig hatte und Window-Color auch nicht mehr, wurden sie dieses Mal auf Pappe übertragen und angemalt. Ich muss ja zugeben, dass ich schon etwas stolz bin, nicht erst jetzt damit angefangen habe, unsere Weihnachtdeko zu basteln, sondern schon im Sommer. Aber wir haben ja nun wieder Familienzuwachs, der in diesem Jahr das erste Mal ganz intensiv die Adventszeit miterlebt, da ist es mir schon wichtig, dass alles schön und in Ordnung ist. Wenn Ihr möchtet, könnt Ihr unsere Heiligen Drei Könige auch ganz einfach nachbasteln: Zeichnet Euch auf Pappe die Motive ab: 3x König, Kamele, Mond und Sterne, so viel ihr gerne möchtet. Dazu könnt Ihr Pappe in verschiedenem Farbton nehmen, sodass die Könige und Kamele jeweils einen andere Farbe erhalten. Malt sie auf beiden Seiten an. Ganz hübsch machen sich auch Lackstifte in Gold und Silber, um die Knöpfe und Kronen noch edler erscheinen zu lassen. Das bleibt Eurer Vorstellung überlassen. Wenn Ihr ein paar Styroporkugeln mit goldenem Papier umhüllt, sieht das richtig edel aus. Dafür müsst ihr nur ein bisschen mehr Schokolade naschen, wo hüsches Goldpapier drumherum ist. Diese Kugeln fädelt ihr abwechselnd zwischen Könige, Kamele und Sterne oder Mond. An vier Fäden habe ich die Figuren verteilt und an einem Stab befestigt. wer eine Gardinenstange hat, kann die einzelnen Fäden auch dort mit genügend Platz zueinander befestigen. ( Ganz persönlich fand ich unser altes Mobile auf der Windradfolie noch ein bisschen hübscher. Die Umrandungen der Figuren hatte ich mit goldenem Window-Color gezeichnet und man brauchte die Figuren auch nicht von beiden Seiten bemalen.) Es bleibt aber Eurem Geschmack überlassen, auf welchem Untergrund Ihr das Mobile übertragt. Ihr könnt Euch diese Schablone gerne hier downloaden: KLICK HIER Eine ganz große Leidenschaft von mir im Advent ist es auch, Fröbelsterne zu falten. Das mache ich überall, wo ich mich gerade aufhalte. Flechtstreifen dafür, finden sich in der Adventszeit sogar in meiner Handtasche wieder. Sie schmücken aufgefädelt unsere Fenster, sind als halbe Sterne hübsche Deko auf den Geschenken und Besucher von uns nehmen sich die kleinen Sterne auch gerne mit nach Hause. + Eine Herausforderung, der ich mich nun gestellt habe, ist das Falten eines großen Fröbelsterns, der aus 12 Flechtstreifen, anstatt aus 4 Streifen besteht. Dieser sah immer sehr kompliziert aus. Und so schwer, wie es im ersten Moment aussah, ist das Ganze auch garnicht gewesen. Das Prinzip ist genau das Gleiche, wie beim kleinen Stern, dauert eben nur ein wenig länger. Eine gut erklärte Anleitung für den großen Stern findet Ihr übrigens Hier: Vielleicht habt ihr ja auch Lust, ein paar Sterne zu falten. Verschenkt sie doch auch an Freunde und Familie. Ein kleines selbstgemachtes Give-away erfreut bestimmt auch sie. In der nächsten Zeit werde ich noch weitere Basteleien von mir zeigen. Auch schöne Ideen, die Ihr mit euren Kindern zusammen machen könnt. Seid ganz lieb gegrüßt und habt einen schönen Tag Eure Andrea

Miranda is a mermaid from movies Miranda and Mad About Men. Miranda is played by actress Glynis Johns. Miranda is a mermaid with some human DNA in her genetics, since her great-grandfather was human. One day when Miranda was swimming, she noticed a fisherman, and pulled him underwater. She then took him to his cave with an intent to keep him there forever. The man, Paul Martin, however really wanted to go back to his wife, and Miranda eventually gave in, and agreed to take him back, if Paul woul

Ladies from the Mermaid Pool of 1948 Have a mermaid film festival in your living room. Just add water. This also ties in Mr Peabody and the Mermaid William Powell shopping He only wants bikini tops, She doesn't wear the bottoms. with the man in the bath themed festival. Seems more than a few mermaid movies show the ladies in a bathtub... Have discussion afterward, comparing the storylines, how makeup, ideas of relationships between men and women, even how technology has changed over the years. How about the idea of the ideal/fantasy woman, often seen in a mermaid film. There are mermaid movies in many genres: horror, animated, pirate, comedy; for kids, teen and adults. If you've got friends who are film buffs, there are rare films, those from every time period. What to serve: Sushi, fish tacos, anchovy pizza, oysters. Or maybe you'd prefer to stay away from fish altogether in deference to the mermaids, fish and sea creatures in the films? Use fish-shaped cookie cutters to shape the sandwiches, etc. Serve goldfish cheese and pretzel crackers. Go for the gold with Berry Blue jello, include delicious fruits suspended within. Decorate with seashells, starfish. Suggest people wear watery colors like blue and green. Make your guests want to pull out those camera phones. :-) We've got friends who like to go all out for parties and those who don't. Here are a couple movies, light comedies with familiar stars. Both movies can be streamed. Miranda and Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid. The films are relatively short, at about 89 minutes each. Glynis Johns 24x36 B&W Poster Print It's the mermaid in the British film, Miranda (Glynis Johns) who takes the most control of the situation. She can speak from the start. She holds her man (Griffith Jones as the married Dr. Paul Martin) captive until he agrees to show her the city. It was filmed in Cornwall, England. The mermaid's tail by Dunlop Rubber Company, a company that also does/did make tires, garden hoses and Wellies (rain boots). In 1948 Dunlop invented the self-sealing tire, which reduced the risk from blowouts. Googie Withers plays the doctor's wife and Margaret Rutherford is the nurse who looks after Miranda. According to The Telegraph, Withers, who was born in Karachi, was given the nickname Googie by her Indian nanny. "A Hindi word, meant (according to who was telling) dove or crazy." Googie, as an aside, is the pet name George Burns had for his wife, Gracie Allen. Glynis Johns made films from the 1930s-90s, One of her best-known film roles was that of Winifred Banks, the children's mother, a suffragette, in 1964's Mary Poppins. David Tomlinson, who is Charles in Miranda will go on to play her husband, George Banks, Mary Poppins' employer and father of the children. So the movie Miranda offers an unexpected pre-Poppins present. Dr. Martin brings Miranda home under the guise of her being a patient who cannot Bette Midler Delores De Lago Mermaid Doll walk. I had to smile at the mermaid's being transported in a wheelchair. It reminded me slightly of Bette Midler's Delores DeLago mermaid character as memorialized in the concert film Divine Madness. She's also available in doll form. You may remember the controversy that was stirred up recently when Lady Gaga performed in a show as a mermaid who traveled on stage in a wheelchair. Was it a rip-off of Midler's idea? Some in the press labeled the brouhaha MermaidGate. Miranda never sprouts legs. She is consistently either carried by Dr. Martin or a series of other men, including Nigel (John McCallum, Ms. Withers' real life husband) who is painting a portrait of Miranda. She captivates the men so much that they sometimes argue over who gets to carry her off. In the final scene, Miranda is shown on a rock, holding a little merboy on her lap. This movie has a sequel, Mad About Men in 1954. Also married is Arthur Peabody (William Powell) in Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid. William Powell Ann Blyth 8x10" Photo Peabody names her Lenore (Ann Blyth). She is young and naive. Aside from some soft singing, she never learns to speak. She is sweet and naive without being sappy. His character is just turning fifty, Blyth was 19 when she made the movie. At the age of 17, she had already gained notoriety and an Oscar nomination for playing Veda Pierce Forrester in Mildred Pierce with Joan Crawford, who won an Oscar for her role in the film. This movie is one of the last dozen that Powell will make in his long career of making movies 1922-1955. His final movie will be Mr. Roberts in 1955. Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid is one of the first dozen films that Ms. Blyth made. Blyth's makeup including the elaborate fish tail was overseen by makeup artist Bud Westmore, who was the uncle of Michael Westmore. Michael Westmore can now be seen as a mentor on the Syfy channel competition show, Face Off. The program is hosted by his daughter, McKenzie. They are members of the House of Westmore, the famous family in film make up. The Westmores have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I've seen this photo in many different places and cannot track down its original source. Ann Blyth with Glenn Strange who was playing Frankenstein's Monster in another Universal film, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. Also in that movie were Lon Chaney, Jr. as Lawrence Talbot/The Wolf Man and Béla Lugosi as Count Dracula. The story I've read most often is that Blyth and Mr. Strange met when they were both made up for their day's work and thought the photo would be funny. Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid is also different from Miranda in its middle-age-crisis plot. "What's a few grey hairs?" he says. The character, we'd expect, speaks for many men when he holds the silent mermaid close and speaks of how he wishes for some peace and quiet. Lenore never speaks, she never walks. Fishing trip in Libeled Lady William Powell, Myrna Loy, Walter Connolly 8x10" The 1936 film also starred Jean Harlow and Spencer Tracy His wife is played with a bit of shrewness at the start. But that's evened out in the end when her anxiety about her husband is relieved. Powell was in his mid-50s when he made this film and clearly there was attention to how the relationship with the mermaid was portrayed. In real life, as with fellow actors such as Cary Grant and Bing Crosby, Mr. Powell often dated younger women and his wife was considerably younger. Bing Crosby was 30 years older than his last wife Kathryn. Grant, too was decades older than his wives. This film has one of the best leg biting scenes since Rosalind Russell bit Paulette Goddard's leg in The Women, 1939. As much of this story is told in flashback, and told to a psychiatrist at that, we're left with the idea that it may be something of a fairy tale. Was it just a really rough entry into Mr. Peabody's fiftieth year? Was there really a mermaid down there in that pond? Irene Hervey is Mrs. Polly Peabody. She was the real-life wife of actor Allan Jones, and mom of singer Jack Jones. We'll assume that she heard the Theme of The Love Boat sung once or twice. For a time, Jones and Robert Young ran The Bel-Air Stables. In a 1939 short MGM film, Hollywood Hobbies, the Bel Air Stables get a visit and Irene Hervey is featured. If this movie is at all connected to the characters of Mr. Peabody & Sherman, who first appeared on the animated TV series, Rocky and His Friends and The Bullwinkle Show in the 1950s, I can't say. I know that William Powell liked dogs. But it would be a pretty silly stretch.... 1948 was a very big year for mermaids. Also from this year was Tarzan and the Mermaids starring Johnny Weissmuller. There were no actual mermaids in this movie. It was recently announced that Sofia Coppola plans to direct a live-action version of The Little Mermaid for Universal Pictures and Working Title Films. The 1948 Summer Olympics, were held in London, England. After a 12-year hiatus because of World War II, these were the first Summer Olympics since the 1936 Games in Berlin. The United States won more Gold Medals overall in swimming events that year with eight. No mermaids competed in the Olympics.
