Hats, headgear and more

Hi Everybody!

We had another clear and sunny day, a real Sunday

as the name implies. It's so nice to feel the sun on your face

or back while walking out.

For Tag Tuesday, Michele's 'hats and Headgear' challenge,

I made another tag, also meant for the Allsorts challenge blog,

ladies and girls. I made a very feminine tag, with an

animal print background behind the black, both tags sewn together

with white zig-zag stitch.I used some fussy cut images, a quote 

from Dyelusions and a pair of sparkly shoes. A pink pearl-pin, 

some feathers and some flowers were used as embellishments.

You still have a week to join the challenge,

and Michele is offering a prize from Lunagirl Images:

This card arrived from dear Annie in Australia,

she knows that I adore the house mouse images -

thanks Sweetie, your card is gorgeous, as all of your

work is. If you don't know Annie, hop over and take a look!

The crocuses and other spring blooms are much in evidence everywhere:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Weekend

Hi Everybody!

Today the sun is shining, and I enjoyed a nice

walk along the Rhine. It's still quite chilly, but when

the sun shines it just feels better! Thanks to those who wrote 

and asked if I was okay when I didn't post - I am just

very tired when I get back from the clinic each afternoon

and can't post everyday, but no cause for alarm!

For Go tag Thursday, men or boys, I have a 10" tag. I found a piece 

of DP with town motives which I sewed onto a manila tag and a

peeled cardboard backing. I dipped the edges into Frantage aged

gold EP. The 'sandwich man' stamp was from a company which

no longer exists. I used to love seeing the Sandwich men walking up 

and down the main shopping streets when I was a kid, but it was

probably a tedious job for low pay. Mr UM has been cut from

an old almanac cover, and is bearing adverts out of sympathy for 

the Sandwich man.

I walked along the stream, and everything is slowly turning green:

The ducks were enjoying the sun, too:

 The Rhine is full after all the rain of the past weeks:

Great name:

This wood pigeon is already busy:

Beautiful spring flowers all around the castle ruins:

 Mr Music was playing happily as always:

Some different gulls were out today:

 Our little town looks like spring:

Have a great day you all, take care,

and thanks for coming by:

Out and About

Hi Everybody!

I'm very happy that it's weekend, as I am really exhausted

after all of the therapies this week, and a bit of rest

will do me good.

For Yvonne's challenge 'Out and About' at

Art Journal Journey I have a hybrid page made by cutting

and combining 2 of my van Gogh paintings, with a photo of a horse 

and a bird added:

I am also linking to Paint Party Friday

The tag was made some weeks back, and as it has now reached its 

destination in Canada I can show it. I used various bits and bobs, 

combined with da Vinci's Leda stamped and painted onto

a coffee pod paper. I sewed the tag onto cardboard and then onto 

some brown burlap sent to me some time back by dear

Chrissie:

Nature is springing even if the weather isn't

playing the game:

Have a great weekend, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
