Hi everybody!
The weather was so beautiful yesterday that I decided to go out for a walk in spite of my coughs and sniffles, and I was glad I did. It was really mild for the end of October, 19°, and blue sky - too good to stay home!
I took the photos at the Rhine at 11 AM, and was very surprised to see the moon as well as the sun - can you see it, too?

No moon on this one:
A small plane was having fun cruising around and drawing on the sky....
Here the moon is visible again:
And this was the evening sky, taken between sun-set and dusk:
I did some crafting in the afternoon, and used up the last remnants of autumn leaves, which had been rescued from my table last week. The tags were also under many layers of stuff, I just needed to assemble them.
The first one is made of cardboard, which was painted, and embossed with molten gold Utee, into which I stamped with a flourish. I heated it a little again, and changed the colour by brushing on some perfect pearls in copper and green. The pretty wired beads were given to me by Craftymoose - thanks again, Debbie! I will show the other tag next time.
And another little catastrophe happened - I slipped a bit on the floor, probably because I was wearing socks with no stoppers under them, and crashed my toe - the second smallest one - against the kitchen cabinet. The cabinet won! My toe now has a form something like a cross between a banana and a pear, and the colour of ripe plums. I am sure it is broken. As if I didn't have enough to contend with just now!
Anyway, enough for today!
Take care, have a great day, and thanks a lot for comng by.
Oh no! Your poor toe! I've never broken a toe, but I have stubbed one which was very painful--I can only imagine how yours feels! Probably not too much you can do for it either. The tag came out lovely and I really enjoyed the photos. It's funny...I saw the moon the other morning also!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and a gorgeous tag. Sorry about your toe, sounds painful! Take care. Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeletewunderbar Fotos und ein sagenhaft schönes Tag!
ReplyDeleteOje Du Ärmste!
Das tut sooo weh!
fest ankleben an die nächstgelegene und schonen...
Im Krankenhaus machen die ja auch nicht viel mehr, ne?
Julia hatte schon zweimal Zehenbrüche und ich hab mir als Kind mal die große Zehe gebrochen...
ich fühle mit Dir ..
aus Solidarität trag ich gra auf der rechten großen Zehe blau... frag mich nicht in welchen Schuh ich mir dieses Aua wieder geholt habe?!

ReplyDeleteoh no, a broken toe witha cold! You have the most beautiful photos here today, wow, they are amazing! Your Autumn tag is beautiful, a masterpiece!Take care, maybe you should get that toe checked!
ReplyDeleteThis seems to have been such a hard year for you health-wise. My toes tingle in sympathy at the thought of your slip and the damage it caused.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are a joy to look at early in the morning, every one so lovely.
Your tag is a feast of autumn colours, lovely.
Fantastic photographs as always Valerie--it is so good that you share them with us.
ReplyDeletePleased that you are still going for your walks even with the sniffles--they may get blown away.
The art piece is wonderful with the metal effect background and the wonderful colours you added.
Have a good day
Love Chrissie x
Love your photos, again I'm repeating myself, but you live in a beautiful area and it's wonderful that you take time to enjoy it and share the scenery with us :) Your tag is gorgeous, love all the colours & texture. I'm fighting a cold myself, don't think it's serious as I have 3 crafty friends coming over for a 'play day' today.. lots of fun :) Shirleyx
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your play day. I'm sure that's a great remedy for a cold! Hope it's soon better!
DeleteThe photos are just gorgeous! So beautiful for Fall. And the tag is soooo pretty! Really nice. Sorry to hear about your poor toe :)
ReplyDeletePoor you! You do not need any more calamities, you have had more than your fair share this year! Gorgeous photos and I love the beautiful tag, you are so talented! ~Diane
ReplyDeleteOh poor you! Hope your toe is soon not looking like something out of the fruit bowl!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos.

Ouchy ouchy ouchy!! Your poor toe Valerie! :( I bet there aren't many folk who can't empathise with stubbing a toe & having broken a few in my time, I am one of them who can. I do hope you aren't in too much pain & it heals quickly.
ReplyDeleteLovely lovely sky pics from you & your tag is very gorgeous!! A bit of bling & it would be awesome s a Christmas tag too. Do take care & wear house slippers! :0)
The doc said the same about wearing slippers!
DeleteMore gorgeous photos, Valerie. Thanks for sharing and I love your tag. Hope your cold leaves you soon but please don't send it across the waters.
ReplyDeleteOh what gorgeous photos! Surely that walk would make you feel better... then I read about the darn cabinet. So sorry to hear that. Rest up, my friend.
ReplyDeleteOh Mann, ich lese das jetzt erst mit deinem Zeh. Mensch Valerie, du machst aber echt Sachen. Bllöd ist ja, dass man da nix eingipsen kann. Der muss wohl nun ohne Hilfe wieder richtig zusammenwachsen, was?
ReplyDeleteDein Tag ist klasse geworden! Aber die Fotos sind mal wieder richtige Knaller! Hast du die mit Photoshop nachbearbeitet oder bringt deine Kamera wirklich so tolle Farben zum Vorschein?
Photoshop hab ich nicht - Natur reicht!
DeleteGorgeous colourful tag Valerie, and those sky photographs are brilliant. I broke my toe many years ago on honeymoon but that another story.... hope yours gets better soon xx
ReplyDeleteThe mind boggles - now, I wonder how that happened??!
DeleteSee - I am trying to catch up!! As always, gorgeous pictures and you tag is smashing. You do love color and always use the best and glorious colors together!
