Monday / Tuesday Post - Mixed Bag

Hi Everybody!

Once again the day has run away from me. I went out for a meal with Heike at the Pizzeria, and it was most enjoyable. We had cappuccino and Tartufo iceceam for desert, so it was very, very good! Then when I was home I had a Zoom Meeting with a friend in England, and that was great, too.

So now I need to do a quick post....First of allI have a piece for Halle's 'I've got a Notion' challenge at AJJ:


And I have now finished this face, and am still not happy with it. I think I showed it as a WIP a couple of weeks back. But I'm not going to do any more!



This next piece is for my  'summer Holidays' tag challenge at Tag Tuesday, which runs for another week:
Last week I said I would show you my very favourite place in the world, and of course, it's London. I was born near the Tower of London, and even though I like Germany, I still miss London very much. And the Queen! Nothing against Charles and Camilla, but the Queen is not replaceable:


This board is hanging in my kitchen:


A coffee for Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday tomorrow, although I don't know if I will manage to join in:


I love this wonky cup, too:


This is a small mixed media dragonfly:





And some funnies and thinkies:












Have a great start in the new week, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!

Happy weekend!

Hi Everybody!

Here's wishing us all a  peaceful and restful weekend.

I had a busy week, and I am tired, so my weekend post is a mix of David Zinn's, Funnies, Thinkies and a strange face i made last week:


David Zinn:


I woke up to rainy weather this morning:


More from DZ:



Pickles is always good, too:





David Z:




Pickles again:



This strange piece is perhaps not quite as silly as it looks at first glance. I doodled this rather different face and then scribbled her hair. I put lots of thoughts into her head, I think we all have lots of random thoughts and ideas swimming around. And there are some patches on her face and neck. Does she feel hurt? Is she perhaps trying to conceal something? There's a piece of gauze glued over her mouth. Is there something that she can't or won't say? But there are some stars in her eyes - dreams? hopes?
What are your ideas?



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

Friday faces and fun

Hi Everybody!

Today I am showing faces which I put onto tags in the past few years. I am linking to Nicole's FFO and Gillena's AFF.













This is a distant cousin of my Mother, Erika. I met her as an od lady when I was working in an old people's home here in Düssedorf:


And another visit to the past - my mum and her Uncle Benny with his wife at their wedding:


Sorry, not much talk-talk, my internet is very bad today so I want to get this posted before it get's worse!

Have a great Thursday / Friday, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!
