Coffee, woods and lakes

Hi Everybody!
For Chris'  nice theme, '101 ways to keep warm', at
a digital piece. The images are from Serif.
This is one of my fave ways of keeping warm. For those
who need more exercise I recommend doing
some fun shopping first....




Yesterday I went on a trip with G & H, 2 of my good 
buddies. We went to Duisburg, a neighbouring town.
 First we went for a walk through the 'Sechs Seen Platte', 
an area with 6 huge lakes and wonderful wooded trails. 
The weather was cold but sunny,
and we enjoyed marching along the trails and admiring
the beauty of the autumn landscape:








G kindly acted as leaf holder:









More photos of the lakes and the other places we 
visited will be following!

Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by

Paper dolls and memories

Hi Everybody!

For Tag Tuesday, Sandie's lovely book-print challenge,
I have a tag made from recycled materials. I cut the little
dolls free-hand from book paper, and then sewed the 
layers together. The ribbon was affixed 
with some fancy staples.



  

For Chris'  lovely '101 ways to keep warm' challenge
I have a hybrid piece, using elements from Serif and me. 
The photos show my Mum on the 
right and me on the left. Memories make my heart warm!





 Some photos from the Rhine:

Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

T stands for Home Sweet Home

Hi Everybody!

On Tuesday we are beginning a new challenge at TIOT -
💖Home Sweet Home💜
As always, projects of all formats are allowed and you
 have 2 weeks to link your creations to us -
 hope to see you there!

I have a hybrid piece to share today.
I am also linking to Chris' '101 ways to keep warm' 
challenge at Art Journal Journey
a place to call home keeps your heart warm!




Tuesday is also Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday, so here 
I would like to welcome all of the nice ladies of the
 T Gang.  My fave drink is, as always,   
cappuccino:


Recently I visited 'Fischer's Lagerhaus' with G. This is
a place that imports furniture, cloth and decorative items 
from the Far East. The furniture is often made of 
old doors or other antique wood, there is always 
incense burning there, and it's a great place to 
wander around:







I love the hand-made tiles:


The Buddha head is a huge fountain:




And these are the last survivors on my balcony:



A lonely little petunia....


Once again we had a spooky moon show in the evening:



Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
