T stands for One for the boys

Hi Everybody!

On Tuesday we are staring a new challenge at TIOT -

One for the boys.

I made a tag using an old stamp, I think it was from Lost Coast, but I'm not sure, showing three wise gentleman, stamped with Archival black. I layered it with mirri card and a remnant of DP, and sewed it all together. The moustache was fussy cut. Projects of all formats with a masculine theme are welcome, and you have 2 weeks to link to us.

You also still have a week to join in our 'Night at the movies' challenge at Tag Tuesday. I used one of my hand-carved stamps on a digital background. I was thinking of the film 'Out of Africa', but wrote the title in German - I'm blaming the extreme heat we've been having!

It's also time for Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday, so here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T Gang. My photo was taken at the ice parlour on a market day:

We have had lots of beautiful sunrises, I usually wake up about an hour before sunrise, so like to drink my coffee on the balcony and watch the colours changing:

Some photos from my walks:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Happy Mail

Hi Everybody!

Today I am sharing a beautiful package received in the mail from Mia of 

Craftartista

who recently sent out many beautiful gifts including handmade items that she gave away to celebrate her blogaversary. As well as the gifts and candies she included handmade items, such as the very unusual ring, the embroidered pendant and the hand sewn needle case, complete with contents.

Thanks for this beautiful and thoughtful gift, Mia!

And some photos from a walk along the Rhine.

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

More this and that:

Hi Everybody!

Here it's still hot and steamy, and no sign of it letting up yet. And it is not really the week to be having 2 dental operations either, but  I have to see it through and hope that things will soon get back to normal.

I made some more hand-carved stamps at my group and they are all I have to show this week for PPF.

The birds are about 4 1/2" high:

  

I made a cat like this many years back with a linocut, and decided to make a smaller one this time (3 1/2" across) so I can use it on cards etc:

Here I printed it onto some DP:

Some photos taken out and about here in the past weeks: 

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
