Midweek post

 Hi Everybody!

Just a quick post today, I have a lot to do this week!

Today I am sharing a face made in one of the extra lessons after the Lifebook taster course. It didn't turn out as I wanted it to, but that's life!






I am linking to Tracey's 'the meaning of' challenge at AJJ

A few photos taken in the evening from my armchair, I didn't want to go out in the cold!








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

    That's actually a beautiful face, Valerie. It may not have turned out as you expected, but it's still a beauty.

    You have a great view from your cozy chair. It puts my views to shame. Hope you are not stressed and are OK, dear.

    Isn't that quote so beautiful, there's many pages that could be created with those words alone. She's fantastic, what do you mean she didn't turn out how you wanted her too.. She looks so at peace surrounded by the warmth of those colours. Yes it's getting colder, Little Freya is very thankful of her Winter jumpers on her long walks.. stay warm & take good care of yourself & do not worry yourself about the email reply, I know you have a lot on your mind right now... When ever you get a moment my friend.
    Hugs Tracey xx

      Thanks Tracey, much appreciated. I think I always have a picture in my head and try to bring it onto paper, and it's never quite right. Perhaps I need to change the pics in my head! Have a good and safe day!

      Thanks. And as it was dark you can't see how dirty the window is, I just noticed it when I went out! Have a great day, hugs!

    Now this looks like a woman to be reckoned with, Valerie.I think I want to regress to about twenty years of age and find a whole series of girlfriends that look like your creations. Maybe I could take them to the dance classes we talked about yesterday. In any event, you do come up with some exotic looking beauties. As for the pictures from your armchair, they reveal a charming view, and you are wise not to go out and face the cold biting at your cheeks when you are able to enjoy those scenes through the window, sipping hot coffee no doubt. Yesterday we had our first major snowfall of the season and I had to get out and shovel my driveway. Looks like we got a little more overnight, so I will have to do it again this morning. A neighbour a couple of doors away has a snow blower and he sometimes does the sidewalk for me, but yesterday he must have been feeling grumpy, or he was pressed for time, because he left it all for me. It's one of those chores that comes with the season, and we have to do it, so there is nothing to do but wear a smile and get in over with. Maybe when we get really old and decrepit we'll move into a condo where someone else takes care of it - or stay in the house and pay for the service. My reward for shovelling yesterday was a clean and tidy drive and sidewalk, and hot, steaming coffee with a blueberry muffin. And that's not bad at all. Take care of yourself - and that's an order. Hugs and kisses, David

      Hmmm, David, only 20 years?! At the moment I would like to go back 50 years and pick things up from there! Anyway, enjoy dancing with my exotic lady! We haven't had snow here yet, but in the south of German they got a lot. And I don't need to scrape snow away, if it snows someone appears with a little snow-plough and removes it. I used to like shoveling snow when I was younger, I don'T know if I would enjoy it today. And if you got coffee and a blueberry muffin as a reward, it was worth it! I just had lunch here, I'm eating my way through all the leftovers in the fridge before Friday! Now I'm going to have a coffee and put my feet up. No cookies, I ate them all yesterday! The Covid test today wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! Have a good day, take care of yourself, Miriam and the birds! Hugs to you both!

      I wanted to go back to twenty years of age, not twenty years ago. Glad the COVID test wasn't too bad.

    I have attended the lesson too, Valerie, and I think that your face is fabulous. I see a face in peace with beautiful eye lashes and lips. Great background too. It is lovely, my friend. And what a stunning view you have! These photos from your armchain make me crazy! I will tell you again that you live in paradise. You are sooo lucky, sweetie. I live in the city! Kisses!

      Thanks Mia, your words so me good. I feel uncertain of everything just now. The apartment I live in is old, shabby and has windows which let in too much heat and/or cold. But I have a wonderful view, and that's something, with the sun rising in front of my window every day! Have a good week, stay safe!

    I think your face is wonderful! Some beautiful brush marks and colors. Impressive for sure - I think you are soooo talented.

    Even your pictures from sitting in your chair are amazing! Such a warm glow you captured and your moon is fabulous. Your home is so lovely.

    Super lovely post! Hugz

    Your face is lovely, I like the fact that you have only drawn half of her face on the page, not easy to do. Well, at least I don't think it is. I love the colours you have used for her skin tones and the hair and she certainly has lovely lips.
    Why go out on a cold night if you don't want to when you can have a view like you have. Love the little lit candles and he whole sill decorations.
    Hugs, Neegt xx

    Thanks Neet. I like doing half faces. Normally I don't mind going out, but sometimes it's good to stay cosy!
