Live, life, love

Hi Everybody!

Just a quick post today, I've got visitors coming this

morning and need to get ready!

I made a mixed media A3 collage. The BG was painted 

with blue and green metallics and textured with a

crackle stamp. The squares were added with a 

CWS stencil and the words with a Seth Apter

one that Sue sent me for Christmas, thanks again!

Everything else was collaged.

I am linking to Paint Party Friday

and to Simon Wednesday Challenge, layer it up.

And some photos from my corner of the world:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Wednesday Post

Hi Everybody!

Today I have another quick face to share.

The lovely quote is from Winston Churchill.

I used a lumocolor permanent pen, Pitt pens and a 6B pencil

I made these tags to accompany some muffins I gave

to neighbours. I am linking to Tag Tuesday, 

anything goes. You have till next Monday at midnight

 to enter the challenge, and there will be a prize:

The rose was blooming in the hospital gardens:

A beautiful sunrise

Morning visitors waiting for me to fill

the feeder:

The gulls by the Rhine:

And these photos were taken on this day

one year ago - blue skies and no high water:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

T stands for This and That

Hi Everybody!

On Tuesday we are starting a new challenge at TIOT

and our theme is

***Fire and Ice***
As always, you have 2 weeks to join us and projects
of all formats are allowed. Hope to see you linking your
creations to us!
I made a hybrid piece using one of my sunrise photos
that I love so much, framing it with white paint
and splatters to give my idea of
fire and ice:

Tuesday is also time for Elizabeth's

T stands for Tuesday party, so here a warm

welcome to all of the nice ladies of the

T Gang. I am offering some chocolate muffins -

help yourselves!

My drink is cappuccino - it would be nice to meet

up with you in the garden outside the

'Cafe Burghof' next to the castle ruins:

The weather just now is mild and wet. On Wednesday 

we have been promised temperatures of 15°C. 

I found several gardens with flowering or 

shortly to be flowering 

plants on my way to the Rhine:

The water has receded from the meadows:

There is still some water in the old moat:

The bridge over the stream has emerged again, but the 

water is still a couple of  meters higher than usual:

The boats are able to move again:

The jetty is still almost horizontal:

In contrast these photos taken 2 weeks ago when the water was lapping

against the town walls and my feet!

Flowers blooming in a flower box:

And a wonderful display of spring flowers

at the florist's:

Today I treated myself to a small bunch of tulips,
a little luxury to brighten a grey day:

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