Hi Everybody!
Here's wishing us all a good and healthy week! I hope you won't be working too hard to get ready for the feast days - I haven't started yet!
Today I am sharing some pictures all made long, long ago:
I love these bird stamps:
And I always love cows:

This small canvas is in my hall:
And I still love this one, which is hanging in my bedroom- the umbrella man is there:
And as Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday will be beginning this evening, I have put my focus on coffee:
Have a great, new week, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!
Lovely art and coffee thoughts
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine, hugs!

Bisher hab ich Nichts getan, und ich glaube dass es so bleiben wird. Alles Liebe dir!
DeleteYou have taken great liberties with my avian friends, Valerie. It will soon be first light and the crows will be coming for breakfast. I will ask them what they think and whether they would like to wear a dress. Don’t be surprised if their opinion is laced with words that might make even you blush! And in crow it sounds even worse - they have special intonations for derision and disapproval. And they do all of this without benefit of coffee! I am drinking my first coffee of the morning right now. It’s amazing how much better the first mug tastes; perhaps we have subliminal dreams about its hot steaming excellence, and are seized by the moment when the first scalding liquid graces our tongue. I really like this idea of “wake up” and “drink coffee” as ways to measure success. I also made the coffee and poured my cereal into a bowl AND added milk. I won’t have to do a single thing for the rest of the day! Stay well, stay warm, AND DRINK COFFEE! Hugs and kisses - David
ReplyDeleteMea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. How could I be disrepectful to these beautiful birds! Crows are lovely birds, but very loud, and one has taken to knocking on my bedroom winter each morning - cheeky bugger!
DeleteAnd you really made coffee all on your little onesom? Well done, hope you enjoyed it, too. Have a great week, hugs, Valerie xxxxxxxxxxxx
Hi Val, good morning! I'm happy to say that we survived our chaotic weekend. The train was so full you could hardly breathe. I love your art today, those dressed up birds are cute and pretty. Have a great week, take care, hugs to all!
ReplyDeleteWell, that really is something! Glad you liked my birds, I love thm, too! Hugs!
DeleteI hope you are well and prepared for the holidays coming up. Cheers from Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteMore or less well, yes, but not ready for anything. How good that there are lots of restaurants here! Have a great week, hugs, Valerie
DeleteI love seeing all your art, whether it's new or old, it's still a pleasure. And I love the to-do-list meme and how you can put anything you want on it. I've never thought of it that way; mostly think of it as chores, but I love the idea of a fun to-do list. That's what I am going to start doing. Thanks for this cheery post. I hope you had wonderful weekend and have a great week ahead- and that you feel good too. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika, that's really my idea of a to-do list! I can't do much so I am at least trying to enjoy myself with lots of books and painting, great! Have a wonderful week, hugs, Valerie
DeleteFun art. I love the birds and the cows. Happy T Day and have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThanks, cows are my faves! Hugs!
DeleteYour projects are all fun and thought-provoking. I too like the umbrella man, but I love coffee too and now for some reason I'm needing to go fix a cup for myself! LOL Have a great Monday!
ReplyDeleteYessssss, enjoy your coffee! Hugs, Valerie
DeleteWonderful creations, love the cat canvas. Have a great day. Anesha
ReplyDeleteThanks Anesha. Have a great week, hugs, Valerie
DeleteHi Valerie thanks for popping over to mine. Loving the artwork here today and the chocolate funny especially. You mentioned you are not familiar with Tyvek, I think you would find it intertesting as you can do lots with it. It comes in a variety of thicknesses and types. It's like plastic but you can paint on it, works well with Alcohol inks, some are light enough to sew into them and when heated shrivels up into interesting bubbly shapes. It comes in clear, white and black, I could go on as it's used for many things as well as crafting. I'll try to do more with it next year. Take care, hugs Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteThanks for the infos about Tvvek, that is something I definitey need! I will be looking on Amazon later, thanks! Have a great Advent, hugs, Valerie
DeleteI LOVE your birds and your cows. Just adorable. But you must know the cat is my favorite of all.
ReplyDeleteYour coffee memes are great. I especially like the "to do" list. I now know I also do two things on my list I've just created (grin). Thanks ever so much for sharing these art pieces and your coffee memes with us for T This Tuesday, dear Valerie. Hope you are feeling OK.
That's the sort of do-list I can manage each day! I am trying to keep as well as possible, and hope you are feeling bette, too. Happy Day, hugs, Valerie
DeleteVery amusing! Thank you dear friend Aloha
ReplyDeleteHappy T Day, hugs!
DeleteHere's to the impending two day siege!
ReplyDeleteHugs Deb
Aldi was so full today I could hardly move! Siege indeed! Hugs!
DeleteLiebe Valerie, ich seh schon, du brauchst Kaffee ebenso wie ich, um gut durch den Tag zu kommen 😉 Tolle Sprüche und wunderschöne Bilder!
ReplyDeleteHappy T-Day!
Alles Liebe aus Österreich und eine wundervolle Adventzeit, Traude

Coffee is for me my most important food every day! Havea happy Advent, hugs, Valerie
DeleteGood morning Valerie (at least it's morning here), I've checked the "wake up" and the coffee is brewing, so soon I'm done with my stuff for the day!
ReplyDeleteLovely artwork - I do love the quote in the first one. What I especially like about your art is that it is so diverse. The cows are wonderful! And you can never go wrong with coffee! Have a good week and if I don't come here before, a lovely Christmas. Hugs - Carola
That to do list is right up my street! And I love cows. we have a farm at the end of our road, and I like visiting the animals there. Hugs, Valerie
DeleteYes, My to-do list starts with 'wake up' and 'coffee'. The third item is Duolingo as ythat ius the first thing I do after I make coffee.
ReplyDeleteLots of smiles today in your blog. Lovely art work and some smile-worthy funnies.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
At my place it's coffee then wake up....Have a great week!
DeleteA nice mix on your post which I enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that a week today (Tuesday) it will be Christmas Eve, the days seem to be speeding by.
Enjoy the remainder of your week, my good wishes.
All the best Jan

DeleteI love the bird stamps—they’re so pretty—and the cows are just adorable. The umbrella man is such a great piece; I can see why it’s a favorite. And coffee is always a win for T Tuesday!
