....... (just got the meaning of Frank Zappa´s "Mothers of invention" - Mütter des Fortschritts ?!
since I´m using my online dictionary a lot, and improving my english, I often have these "light bulb moments", It always sufficed to know the english name, never thought about the german translation. "Canned heat - Hitze in Dosen" ?! ..................ok, this doesn´t belong here at all.....
As I need to bend my ear wires, and I like to have different hooks for different styles, I had to create some tools over time.

Crafting and arts go hand in hand with self-inventions ;) Love the darning mushroom one!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite misunderstanding between German and English was a very long time ago. I saw signs for 'Mothers' Day corsages' in a store window and thought to myself 'what an odd present to give your mom'. Because 'Korsage' in German is 'corset' in English. Took me a while to figure that one out ;)
This is a fun example! I would have thought the same!
DeleteVery interesting Viktoria! That's true, we have to be inventive with our tools as well!
ReplyDeleteI love the mothers of invention--Frank Zappa, too! Your methods are genious.
