T sTands for Tuesday on Monday again

Hi Everybody!

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend, whatever you were up to. I had a quiet weekend and enjoyed several nice walks and visited a friend for coffee and biscuits, which was very nice. And I was a bad blogger - forgot all about taking pics, sorry!

For Matilde's birds challenge at AJJ I have another of my dotty pictures. It's an A3 piece painted with acrylics and acrylic pens. The bird was painted with gold acrylic and glitter and is flying among the stars. I am wondering if David will find a name for this one?





And although I forgot to take photos of our coffee,  I still found some coffee pics for you, meant as my entrance ticket to Elizabeth's and Bleubeard's TsFT which starts this evening. Here I would also like to welcome all of the nice ladies of the T Gang who visit here:





And some pics from my Sunday walk:






The horse on the other side is also going for a walk:



These poppies were huge, the biggest I have ever seen!



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

  3. What a beautiful bird, Valerie. I really like it. You draw so well! Thanks for another great entry at AJJ using Matilde's theme.

    What great fun you gave us with the adorable mug and the lovely cups and such you found in the village on your walk. They are all lovely. Thanks for these great photos you shared with us for T this week, dear.

    Those are incredible poppies. So is that horse on the other side of the road. BTW, it's nice to see the drivers know which side of the road on which to drive, too (grin).

    1. Thanks E, perhaps the horse doesn't know left from right! But it was on the path, so that's something. See you later, hugs, Valerie

    2. I see you linked to T. I was going to, but got stuck on a call to the company that made my hot water heater. Unfortunately, I have to return it to the store where it was purchased. Sorry I was so slow in linking you, though.

    3. Oh, I didn't Link, I thought you had. Or I linked when I was almost asleep. Whatever, Hope you get a water heater that works! Hugs!

  5. A horse seems surprising on a walk in what I thought was an urban area. You must be more rural than I realized. All the flowers look lovely.

  6. A fantastic journal spread and a happy dotty background for the bird.
    I enjoyed seeing the photos and I hope that horse was safe with the traffic close by.
    Have a good week and stay safe.

  8. It sounds like you have a lovely weekend, and you must be so excited (still) to be able to enjoy it at home. We had beautiful weather too. It was wonderful. I love your bird in the dotty sky. That copper color glows beautifully. And sounds like you had some nice walks too. I hope you have a wonderful T day and start to the new week. Hugs-Erika

  22. You are never a bad blogger. I like your gold bird and I wonder if the owner knew his horse was out for a stroll.

    1. Thanks. It was strange to see the horse on it's own - then a girl came running and grabbed the reins!

  38. I don't know what happened to my comment, it kept saying it was publishing but I don't think it did so here goes again.
    Those poppies are gorgeous, what a beautiful colour and the edges are so frilly and delicate. I always enjoy seeing the windows of the shops you pass by and these are so pretty.
    That is a lovely page, a gorgeous shade of blue and such a lot of dots, must have taken you a while to paint them all in, but how effective is that!
    Hugs, Neet xx
