I spent quite some time today at the dentist's, I needed a root-canal treatment. He is really good, but even so it was rather arduous and I am happy to be back home.
For Art Journal Journey, through my window, and for our 49 Faces challenge, I have another journal page. This was a quick and rather minimalist face drawing, set in a window, and with a verse I wrote for it. I am also linking to Kim Dellow's Friday Face
Who do you see in your window?
The sunrise was wonderful again
And I visited the flower farm again, and although a lot did look rather beaten down by the rain, some are still going strong:
For Art Journal Journey, through my window, I made another A3 mixed media page. The poem is from Robert Frost. The centre background is a picture painted last year. I placed it on the centre of the page, and painted the edges to match, The birds stencil is from Dina Wakley. The window seems to be floating in the middle of the scene, so inside and outside have merged.
This is my tag from Tag Tuesday, where our theme this week is brown and blue, two beautiful colours. I painted an 8" tag with metallic blue, and added the image (Gecko Galz) matted onto bronze mirri card. I rusted the wooden key, and added it together with a clock charm.
Yesterday was really hot and sunny. The horses were sheltering under the pollard willows:
This spider was waiting for visitors:
My shadow was in the stream while I was on the bridge:
The Kids from the Kindergarten were out and about by the river:
These are the windows in the gatehouse of the Marien Hospital:
The chapel windows in the hospital:
It rained today non stop from morning till evening, but then the skies cleared and we had a beautiful evening sky:
Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
'Through my window', and our guest hostess is Corinne.
Her lovely example is on our blog, and you have 4 weeks to join in, and I hope to see lots of you there again. You can read all the details and the pesky rules there, too!
For my A3 Mixed media page I was inspired by the Beatles' wonderful song, 'Eleanor Rigby', an old and friendless lady, who stands at the window and keeps her face in a jar by the door. You can read the whole text here.

And here's the song to hear:
At TIOT our theme is 'something new'. All formats and styles are allowed, just use something new, try something new - whatever - you have, as always 2 weeks to join us! I made a 12" kraft tag using a new stencil that I got a few weeks back in a bundle from EBAY. You can see lots of wonderful examples from the DT on the TIOT blog. I matted the tag with black and gold card.
And last but not least, I would like to welcome my friends from Elizabeth's
Today I am sharing some of my fave coffee mugs, and these are just a few of them - others buy new shoes, I buy coffee mugs. But I usually get them from the thrift shop for 1€, so that's okay.
And this is my very fave one just now, as it holds nearly three 'normal' cups, lots of yummy coffee....
The tablecloth is one I embroidered for my Great Aunt when I was a kid. I always had to do needlework when I was at her place, she said 'The devil finds work for idle hands', so kept mine busy working. After she died it came back to me, and is now almost 60 years old.
And some of my pens and pencils live in this stylish wooden barrel that I got as a present years back, filled with delicious coffee beans.
Please help yourself to cup cakes, I baked plenty, and last week you learned how to eat them!
Enjoy your coffee or tea or whatever you are drinking today!
