Weekend Post.

Hi Everybody!

I have decided to have a long weekend to give myself a rest, so I'm sharing my A3 acrylic painting meant for Mia's fish challenge at AJJ now. My fingers are very shaky, I just deleted the whole post I was writing as I pressed a wrong  button. Here I have a slightly different seascape, imspired by a digital piece I  made sometime in the past. The text reads, 'Don't try to find me, I want to stay lost'. At the moment I feel like that, too! I am also linking to Nicole's FFO and Gillena's Friday fun. Sorry about the poor quality of the photos, we had a dark and dismal day which didn't give the right light:








And this is a tag I made for Wendy's challenge at Tag Tuesday, I forgot to post it. The girl and the pocket were cutouts from a bought set. The icecream cone was made with corrugated card and the ice from some left over bits. The background was part of a page with paint and brushos. The girl and the ice are tucked into the pocket:


And some funnies / thinkies:





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

      Thanks Carol. Our neighbour has 3 Dachshund doggies, we mostly call them 'Dackel' here, but they are so sweet. Have a great weekend, Valerie

    Hi Val, good morning! Hope you had a good and long sleep and are feeling less shaky today. Love your message in a bottle, if you decide to go lost, tell me, I'll go with you, and we'll look for a nice little hideout somewhere! That would be fun! Have a great day, hugs, Sarah

      Thanks Sarah! That's a tempting thought to bog off and find a hideaway somewhere, perhaps we shoud really start thinking about it! Somewhere we can get fish and chips every day, but wth no Boris Johnson! Think about it! Hugs!

    First of all I love your funnies, that daschund picture is brilliant!
    Oh dear, sounds as if you need to rest a while so I do hope that it does you good and you are feeling much better by Monday at the very latest. Also that you have good neighbours to call on should you need them.
    In the meantime I know what you mean about shaky fingers, I sometimes have a twitch or something and press a wrong button and delete something I have just done . So annoying.
    However, you have given us a lovely journal page for your fishy scene this morning. I do love the deep blue of the background. The sky looks menacing and dark against the blue of the sea.
    Love the ship in the bottle bobbing along on the crest of the wave and the little fish swimming happily underneath. A truly delightful page.
    Hope you feel better soon.
    Hugs, Neet xx

      Thanks Neeet. The shakiness is not only annoying, it is also exhausting, and everything takes a long time to get done! And it's past midday and Im still sitting here in my pyjamas and havent done anything! So, enough of moaning! Glad you like my message in a bottle, it was fun to make. This evening I'm going out for a meal with a friend, that will do me good! Have a great weekend, take care, have fun! Hugs, Valerie

    Good morning, Valerie: Sorry to hear that your hands are shaky, not good for creating art nor typing on a keyboard. Perhaps a weekend of rest will ameliorate the situation. Your fishy artwork is very pleasing to the eye and I can see that you have mastered the subterranean realm. As you know, many birds dive in pursuit of fish, so I expect that we will soon be seeing some of them underwater in hard pursuit of their fish filet lunch. They get to have sushi every day. I scanned closely for a mermaid or two but I didn't find any, much to my chagrin. The cartoon regarding the purchase of the AR-15 would be funny if it wasn't absolutely true. They even ban kinder surprises. Take good care of yourself this weekend. Relax and get well soon. Hugs and kisses, David

      Good Morning, dear David. Sorry, I will try to find a few mermaids for ou in future, very amiss of me! typing s hard, bcause ms fingers shake and tpe lots of extra alphas which I don't want, and i have to keep altering tings to make it more or less normal. Life is sometimes hard, and we have to get on with it. I often watch how the herons go fishing in the Rhine, they have a very good aim! Perhaps I will eat fish this evening when I go for a meal! Are you joking about Kinder surprises? Why woud they be banned? But AR-15 is okay. What a crazy politic! Hve agod weekend in spite of it all! Big Hugs!

      They are deemed to be a choking risk for children, but it's okay to sell weapons to kill those same children.

    I love this piece. Wow. How clever Valerie. The ship in the bottle is an amazing idea. And it looks great too. And nice tag for Wendy's challenge. I love those vintage pieces; I think I have the same packet. And I'm so sorry your hands are so shaky. A restful weekend sounds good. Take care and hope you're feeling better very soon. Hugs-Erika

    A very fun page. The ship in a bottle on an adventure only the sailors don't know they are in a bottle. The little bird looking up dreaming about flying like the sea gulls. So many stories from this piece. Your tag captures the joy of Summer. Have a relaxing weekend.

    Hi Valerie, it's lovely and sunny here for a change and no rain! You poor thing that is so annoying to lose everything when you've got a long post to type up. You deserve a rest. Loving the bottle and the little fishies. The funnies are good though the AR15 one is not funny but obviously not meant to be. I wonder how many more people must die before they see the light and do the right thing. Have a lovely weekend. Hugs, Angela xXx

    Oh WOW. I love that ship in a bottle. It is incredible and beautiful. It and the fishes make this a perfect entry for Mia's theme at AJJ.

    What a fun tag. I wish I had time to make tags. Yours is adorable.

    I LOVE the authenticity quote and the AR 15, which hits close to home. I hope you get rest and are able top feel better and less shaky soon, dear friend.

    I'm sorry that you feel so shaky and I hope a well deserved long weekend will make you feel better. The seascape painting is interesting (in a really good way), lovely blues and the little bird standing on the bottleneck is super cute. The second cartoon is the deeply sad truth in this country, something that I fail to understand. David is right about the Kinder Überraschungseier. Same goes for Bucky Balls and and and. Pro-life for the fetus only to get the children killed.
