Hi Everybody!
Hope your week has been going well. I've been trying to take things easy as I have repeated attacks of Atrial fibrillation which makes me nervous. I'm hoping it will settle down soon! I've still been going for my walks, just more slowly and less far than usual, but thats okay. Our weather has been good with pleasant temoeratures, not too warm and not too cold, so just as I like it!
Today I have a new tag for Pinkie's challenge at Tag Tuesday, her theme is to use stencils. The challenge runs for 2 weeks, and tags of all formats are welcome. Hope to ssee YOU there! The face was drawn, the diamond background was stenciled. I made one like this years back but gave it away, I will keep this one:
Luv your photos, gorgeous trees. Beautiful tags. Have a nice Tuesday

Thanks Soma. The meds will hopefully soon kick in, and I need to take things even more slowly. I hope I will soon get used to it! Hugs!

Thanks Jan, slowing down is hard, but will get there!
DeleteI'm sad to hear you are still having fib incidents. It must be scary and frustrating too. I'm glad you are getting out for some walks though. Better shorter and less strenuous than not being able to go. And that's a fun tag. I love how the ribbons are like her hair and also how you made her choker necklace. Nicely done. Take care please. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika, it is indeed scary, I hope it will soon stop. Hugs!
DeleteThe tag is out standing. I like the feather effect a lot. Our lilacs blooms end of the month.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Thanks Dora, I love the lilac blossoms, such a great time.
DeleteWhat a fun and lovely tag. You sure created a lovely woman. I like the reverse color, too.
ReplyDeleteAre the lovely lavender flowers wisteria or lilacs or ??? They are definitely my favorite photos today.
Sorry to read your atrial fibrillation is still a problem. I sure hope the meds kick in soon.
I knew about the broken glassware being repaired in gold. I also know when a piece of fabric or garment wears a hole in it, they repair it with a new cloth placed over or under the hole, then they do a type of slow stitching to repair the garment. They have a name for it, but I don't remember it offhand. Hope your Wednesday is wonderful, dear.
Some are wisteria, they have the hanging flowers, and the lilacs have the flower heads mostly upwards or sidewards. I think that's a wonderful way to repair things, and shows how they value things. Have agreat day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThe slow sewing is called sashiko. The decorative stitches cover holes and bare spots in fabric and garments. I knew I would think of the word eventually.
DeleteThanks E, it's a wonderful Tradition!
DeleteI have to google to find out what is atrial fibrillation. Do take things easy. Hope it will settle and get back to normal. Pretty lady in your art piece. Beautiful flowers and trees from your walks. Cute doggie and the dog sculpture.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy! Have a great week!
DeleteHello Valerie: When you read your last romance novel and it spoke of women walking with their heart aflutter this is not what was intended, so stop it right away! I bet you wish it were so easy. Better that you walk short distances and slowly than not at all, however. Speaking of walks, I have one planned for this morning at 8:30 with a group of retired business women, ten in all, and I plan to dazzle them with the great depth of my ornithological expertise. I was going to let my good looks do the trick, but figured I'd better have a backup plan! The way that migrants are pouring in by the day we have the chance to see some interesting and, for them, unusual species. Nothing will rival the oddities and rarities of Balconia-by-the-Rhine, of course, but we will make do with what we have. Continue to take good care of yourself. All of Canada is rooting for you. Hugs and kisses, David
ReplyDeleteThanks David, good to know that Canada is on my side, that's something. I saw some of your noble geese this morning in Hofgarten, along with swans, ducks and other feathered creations, always a great place to have a rest. Now I'm hoping these women are not going to turn your head again, and I'm sure you can dazzle them with your avian knowledge. The pigeons are busy mating here, they lke to use the tree at the end of the yard, so we always have a great view! But of course, nothing so wonderful as the Balconia-by-the-Rhine noble and rare species! Have a great day, BIG hugs!
DeleteAmazing tags. I like the reverse color one. Reminds me of an x-ray. Wow, Spring is in full swing. Our trees still haven't leafed out all the way just yet. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Spring is really lovely Here. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your atrial fibrillation. Take care and take it easy. Love that Phyllis Diller! She made me laugh. Amen to no housework.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm trying to take it easy! Enjoy your day!
Deleteall those photos are masterpieces:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy, glad you like them! Hugs!
DeleteThat's definitely a keeper Valerie!! So gorgeous! Sorry to hear you are still struggling a bit but so glad to hear you can get out for your walk. A tonic in itself! Take care xxx

ReplyDeleteThanks Nicole, stay Safe!
DeleteHi! So glad I finally took the time to create a tag and visit you!! Your wisteria and lilac photos are wonderful ~ Your tag made me smile! I love her shock of red hair as your topper, too cute. Very clever way to create a necklace as well. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful Tag Valerie.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are awesome, such vibrant colours, just stunning.
Re A.F. I feel the same as you whenever I go out, especially if I am on my own. Although I am on medication, I often feel the same as I did when it was diagnosed. It's been 6 months now, so I think I will have to go back to my doctor.
Take it easy..xx
