Hi Everybody!
First of all I would like to wish you all a very happy, prosperous and healthy New Year 2019:
At Tag Tuesday, we are starting a new challenge with the theme 'New Beginnings'. This could really be any new tag you make, or a new year tag, or one with new resolutions or new stash - whatever - be creative, make something new, and make me happy, as I am hosting this time. Hope to see YOU there!
I made a tag using my fave cup stencil, which I have used many times, so no new idea there. And I used recycled card, so that's not new, either. But my morning coffee is for me the best thing - and only thing - to start off every new day through the whole year. New is also that I sewed the edges and the cups this time, I don't think I did that before. And I used my new, white pen - a present from the man in the stationary shop. The background was stenciled with black acrylic paint, the pattern made with said new pen, and the stitching with my trusty sewing machine. And the quote is from a new box of TH words:
And of course, this is just the right theme for Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday, so here a big welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T Gang.
I got this bottle of very exclusive Sekt from a neighbour:
The glass is a very old one which belonged to my great Auntie Fanny:
And I must not forget to say a BIG thank-you to all who sent cards for my birthday and/or Christmas - much appreciated:
