Weekend post

Hi Everybody!

Here's wishing you all a great weekend, and a wonderful loooong weekend if you live in England!
It's warmed up considerably here, but still nothing like it was a few weeks back, so I'm hoping it won't be too-hot-to-move-or-sleep hot again.

I have 2 more tags that I made for Tag Tuesday, very simple ones, just what I would call construction tags as they are just made up of bits and pieces from my stash and fixed together with some sewing - very quick and very easy. I will be using them as birthday greetings for friends. For the masculine one I used some images from Hunkydory, and the feminine outfit - maker unknown- has been sewn onto some recycled card:



The text reads 'with love and best wishes':


Yesterday I was out and about with Nathalie again, and she made some (not very realistic) photos with the snapchat app on her phone - how to look young and beautiful again without even trying:


We went to Südpark (South park) where we had a midday snack and then visited some of the animals at the farm there and met up with some strange folk:


The flower garden was looking good:




The goats were playful and friendly, as always:



Doris and Heike, the piggy ladies, were enjoying their midday sleep and did not let themselves be disturbed:



Here are some photos from a previous visit which show them without a muddy coat:








That's all for today, it's time to get moving!
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  2. Hi Val, good morning. It looks like it's going to be another very hot day here again. Love the fun tags, and I can imagine who's getting the one with the whiskers! Love the photos. Glad you and N are having fun just now. Südpark is always lovely, the kids used to love it there, especially the goats and pigs. Have a fun day, we're off to my mum's, as usual. Hugs, Sarah

  4. Somehow, I don't find those tags "SIMPLE." They are both beautiful and unique. Both are so different, too. I love the sewing, which adds so much interest.

    The photos from South Park with the goats and pigs made me smile. Those pigs are adorable, and you and Nathalie must have had a wonderful time, too. Enjoy your weekend and have fun on your walks. It's too hot here to walk, even early in the morning, when it's actually time for me to head to bed.

    1. I like the thought of being a princess fairy, but would have to go back at least 50 years to get there!

  10. I love your masculine and feminine tag pair - both so elegant and streamlined. I find the whole Snapchat filter thing really spooky, but maybe that's just me. Love the close-ups of the flowers - wow! - and the pig photos made me smile.

    1. Snapchat IS spooky.An old lady gets her photo taken and is taken back in time 50 years and more. Scary, but fun at the same time, and the kids all seem to love it.

    1. Those filters are good, but then you look in the mirror and see that a wrinkly old hag has taken the place of the beauty who was there before....
