Hi Everybody!
I had a very restful - I would even say lazy - weekend, and I enjoyed it! Hope you all had a great weekend, whatever you were up to.
This evening we will be celebrating Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday drink party, where we share our drinks. So here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T Gang:
I made veggie soup:
Coffee:
Today I am showing some repeat pieces from 2019, where did the time go? I made some huge altered bags - which I use to store art in .
And here a journal spread in a freebie furniture cataloge from one of the stores here - you can still see the couch in the background!
And this is one of my fave pieces, I love autumn and tried to depict it here:
Have a happy T Day and a good new week,
And thanks a lot for coming by!
All your projects are so cool and so interesting, and I love the journal pages..glad you had such a nice weekend I did too, but glad it is Monday now and the boy has gone back to work for 11 days...peace and quiet now..

ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Lucyna! Have a lovely week! Hugs!
DeleteFunnily enough just finished my Latte when I saw your comment over at mine. I'm loving the Monday shower and so pleased to hear you've had a restful weekend. Good to reuse the bags and the catalogue too. Have a great week. Hugs Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteThanks Angela! I like re using and recycling, it gives me nice substrates and doesn't cost anything. Have a great week! Hugs!
DeleteI want some veggie soup now that I see you are making it. LOVE all the coffee photos and of course, you and Heike with your fake beer.
ReplyDeleteWonderful Prada bag, too. A great remake and recycle project that I remember well.
I love veggie soup, and it lasts for 2-3 days without more work.... Fake beer! But it tastes good! Happy T Day!
DeleteThat final piece is especially good! I love this whole T post!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this fun happy post! It's T Time! Aloha
ReplyDeleteThanks Cloudia, happy T Day!
DeleteVegetable soup would be delicious. But surely not with bananas!
ReplyDeletebest, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
You mean you don't put bananas into your veggie soup?! Nor do I, but they are good afterwards!
DeleteYou have been busy. Love the recycled art bags and the art journal page.
ReplyDeleteVeggie soup sounds delicious and warming in this chilly weather.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
Thanks Kate. Today I had pumpkin soup! Hapy T Day!
DeleteAn eye-catching array of past projects! Love the art journal spread in the furniture catalog, the couch looks strangely at home there! Enjoy your soup, the ingredients look yummy. Glad you had a relaxing weekend, xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks Aimeslee! The furniture background looked at home on all of the pages! Just had pumpkin soup, yummy! Hugs, Valerie
DeleteIt sounds like a lovely weekend, and making soup is one of my favorite things to do-along with art that is. :) I remember those bags, and I love how the couch shows through in that furniture catalogue. You did it proud, and it might even look better than just the couch by itself. And you definitely captured autumn in your painting. I hope you had a lovely Monday and have a great T day too. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika. I love making soup too, especially in cold weather. Have a happy T Day, Valerie
DeleteYour crafty adventures are always a source of inspiration. Altered bags are amazing. You've turned a furniture catalogue into a nice journal. Crafting magic from everyday items is such a wonderful way to bring creativity to life. The transformation of a furniture catalog into a journal is truly inspired. Keep on creating enchanting pieces! Happy T Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amila, it's fun to reuse things and good for the world! Happy T Day, hugs!
DeleteI'm loving the autumn pages. I'm so glad you had a terrific and relaxing weekend and your time out looks like lots of fun. That is a fantastic journal!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Jeanie, hugs!
DeleteCoffee and beer - mag ich alles, besonders morgens....aber da nur einige Tassen Kaffee...Wünsche Dir einen happy T-day mit heißem Kaffee.
ReplyDeleteAlles Liebe

Bier am Morgen wäre nicht gut für mich, aber Kaffee immer! Happy T Day mit Kaffee!
DeleteLovely art and drinks. Yes correct! Drink a cup of coffee and stay warm. Greetings.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Coffee is aways good. Hugs!
DeleteYes, exactly... you portrayed autumn wonderfully with its colors... we still have colored leaves on the trees... so wonderful...
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you had a cozy weekend. I spent Sunday with a friend and we went to the opera "The Vampyr" together, in keeping with the scary weather that is now setting in.
Pumpkin cream soup is cooked... coffee was already... best regards to you.
Hug
How nice to see the Vampire. I Hugst's wet and cold here today, and I made soup again!
DeleteSo glad you had a relaxing weekend with some home-made soup to keep you warm. Life is good!
ReplyDeleteHi Carol, Thanks, hope you enjoyed your weekend, too! Have a great week, hugs!
DeleteYour variety of beverages made me smile, and your journal spreads are lovely! Happy art-making!
ReplyDeleteHi Dianne, thanks so much, nice to 'meet' you! Hugs!
DeleteHi Valerie, nothing beats some homemade soup! I love your altered bags and somehow that couch showing through your art journal pages looks like it belongs there. Happy T Day! Elle xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Elle. Wouldn'T it be nice to find a sofa in the woods and to rest there for a while! Soup is always good, and mostly quick to cook and delicious. Happy T Day, hugs!
DeleteWow! Coffee, soup, art, friends, how can one go wrong with all of that? I'm happy to hear that you had a "lazy" weekend. We all need at least one of those. LOL Hope you are feeling well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nicole, hope you are doing well! Rest your foot!Hugs!
DeleteValerie i love to see all your art no matter when you made it.. Your such an inspiration! Happy T day! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb, your comment has really don me good, thanks! Hugs!
DeleteCoffee is a must in the morning and coffee break at a bakery is nice. I too love soup in the winter, and experimented with pumpkins and carrots. I taught ESL for a few years and had a German student who taught me about parsnip; she used it in her potato salad. I love how you altered that Prada bag. So creative!
ReplyDeleteParsnips are delicious. I roast them in the oven together with potatoes, lovely!
DeleteShower in coffee? I love coffee, but I'm not sure I want to shower in it.
ReplyDeleteThe page spread from the furniture catalogue looks awesome - what a fun idea! I like the couch peeking through. The autumn page is so beautiful - autumn and birds, some of my favorite things. Oh that bakery, how I miss them! I envy you so much for them. Have a good week, Valerie!
I love the bakeries, too. So many wonderful sorts of bread, yes! Hugs!
DeleteSoups, great, I should start making soups again as the evenings are getting cooler. When the heating goes on, I will definitely be making soup!
ReplyDeleteI love your project on the furniture catalogue. Good recycling (and the Prada bag).
Happy T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
Thanks Lisca, have a good week! Hugs!
DeleteI love a restful/lazy day - don't get enough of them! Loving the journal pages and your altered bags. Coffee for me too ! Happy ? Day,,Chrisx
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't?! Thanks Chris, I'll make you a cappuccino right now! Hugs!
DeleteLove your bags and the pages too. That's super cool with the furniture showing through but the last one is my favourite. I love the texture you get on your painted surface and the gleam of the paint.
ReplyDeleteHave to smile at all your coffee drinking - I don't drink coffee any more - well, just lately that is not strictly true. I had a pumpkin latte at Starbucks and bought some syrukp and now we have one each aftertnoon. me drinkilng coffee!
Hugs, Neet xx
ps does it count?
Hi Neet, one coffee a day is better than none! Main thing is that you enjoy it! But I am not a Starbucks fan, they are just too expensive. So, now I am off to bed, I'm tired from doing nothing! Hugs!
