T sTands for This and ThaT and The neighbour's caT

Hi Everybody!

Hope your weekend was good. Here it was very quiet - too quiet for my liking - but I kept myself busy with various jobs and crafting most of the time, so that was okay. Hope you are all keeping well and safe in these troubled times.
I was actually outside today - had to visit the doctor early this morning. Anyway, she has said I can go for walks  in the early morning hours when nobody is about, so I will be able to walk a bit through the fields behind the house, which I did today on the way back. It was sooooooooooooo good to be outside. And as I am always up early, long before dawn has even thought about cracking, that will be fine.

I have another hybrid piece for my theme of geometric shapes at AJJ.
I cut more circles and shapes from old paintings and photos, and arranged them in Serif. This sort of work is calming, so quite good just now:

And we are also beginning a new theme at Tag Tuesday, and our wonderful Wendy is hosting. She has chosen the theme of gold and silver, and has some wonderful inspiration on our TT blog. I used some paper painted with gold paint and heat embossed with powders in gold, silver, ice-blue and white. I made a nest for the bird with some dried plant pieces from the garden and feathers from my stash. I'm not sure that this is quite what Wendy wants, but the best I can do just now with the limited gold and silver things I have at home. My intentions were good! (Although we all know where good intentions can lead!) The TT blog goes live this evening:

I am also linking to TIOT, the beauty of nature.

I have been missing going out for my coffees, so here some pics from better days - and the cups and cookies are geometric shapes!

And I got  huge 'care' packet from my friend Sarah, with lots of English food and cookies, as well as a bottle of disinfectant - very important - and some talcum powder. She got it sent to me from a shop in Hamburg which sells British food and products, and it's fun to see some of the brand-names I grew up with and get a taste of childhood again. But I'm afraid those cookies are not lasting long just now.... Thanks Sarah!

And Nathalie bought me a bunch of tulips when she got the shopping last week.
I so love watching them grow in the vase:

We have had some wonderful sunrise scenes each day:

And here the moon rose in the early afternoon:

The pigeons have mostly been practising social distancing:

Not so the blue tits, who love to congregate in big crowds:

And this is the neighbour's cat, spotted in the front garden when I took my garbage down to the container:

Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
