Weekend this and that

Hi Everybody!

Hope your weekend is going well.

Today I am sharing a tag made for Tag Tuesday,

anything goes. I used some stamps which Sue sent 

me for my birthday/Christmas - thanks again Sue!

The set is from Dina Wakley,

and I like that the faces are not overly pretty and sweet.

The attributes stamps also show strong 

character traits -women don't need to

be meek and mild! I used some DP from LaBlanche 

for the background. The heads were stamped onto

scrap card, coloured with gelatos and

fussy cut. I sewed the tag onto some recycled

card to give it more stability.

We had a lovely sunrise this morning, and then the

sun disappeared behind the clouds and it looks

like it will be another grey day.

The big storm we had on Thursday, 'Friederike', 

was upgraded to a hurricane. It caused a huge amount

of damage and 7 people were killed. You can see 2 short

videos here.  The first one shows a plane landing on the

airport which I can see from my window, the second one 

a Porta-potty WC being blown by the storm along

a street full of cars. I'm glad I was able to stay

home on that day.

Have a great weekend, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

The loom of life

Hi Everybody!

For Paint Party Friday, hosted by Eva & Kristin,

I have an A3 doodled face worked on a gessoed BG.

I used Pitt pens and a Staedtler Lumocolor

permanent pen. I used some b/w washi tapes and a

red feather as embellishments. I am also linking to

Simon Monday Challenge, birds of a feather

and Simon Wednesday Challenge, add a sentiment:

The photos are from this day one year ago.

Thanks to those who sent well wishes. My cough is

slowly getting better. Nights are still bad, but

I am hopeful to be 'back to normal' -

whatever that might be - ASAP.

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Another head-case

Hi Everybody!

Hope your week is going well. Today I am sharing

another of my A3 mixed media 'head-cases'. 

I used stencils from Dina Wakley

and no-name and pit pens to draw and colour.

I know I use this quote a lot, I just like it!
I am linking to Simon Wednesday challenge,
add a sentiment.

I love the morning shadows when the light streams

through the window, and my 2 blue vases

always put up a good show at catching it. If you

think you can see dust on the furniture

you are probably right:

 Another beautiful sunrise:

May the sun shine on you and yours!

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

T stands for Anything Goes

Hi Everybody!

On Tuesday we are staring a new challenge at 

Tag Tuesday

***Anything Goes***

This time there will be a prize  of a surprise

package of crafty goodies for one

lucky winner, whose name will be pulled out of the

 proverbial hat. As always, you have 2 weeks to get your

creative juices flowing and to link your tag to us,

so I am looking forward to seeing what you make!

I made a quick and simple tag using

DP for the background, sewed onto some recycled

card matting. Some coordinating feathers

were then added. Tags  can be quick and simple

to make!  I am also linking to Simon

Wednesday Challenge, use patterned paper and to
Simon Monday Challenge, birds of a feather.

Today is also Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday, so I would

like to welcome all of the nice ladies of the 

T Gang.

Today I made a coffee journal page:

And it is half time at TIOT, where our theme this

time is 'My favourite things', so you still have

a week to link your creation to us.

We have had some sunny but colder weather these past

couple of days, and it was good to see blue skies again:

My marigolds are still flowering:

I took a few photos in 'town' on my way to the doctor's today.

My cough is still very troublesome and does not want

to leave me and go somewhere else....I am resting a lot

and spending time reading and watching TV, mostly

murder and mayhem.

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
