T stands for loTs of This and ThaT

Hi Everybody!

Hope your weekend was good. Here we had very mixed weather, but with longer dry spells so I was able to get out and walk a lot and meet up with friends, so that was fun.

Today we are starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday

Our lovely Michele is hosting and has chosen 'seeds and plants' as her theme, so hope to see lots of you joining in. She is also giving a little prize this time. I have chosen a winner for my last theme there, and you will be able to see who it is when the TT blog goes live on Monday evening. I made a hybrid tag in autumnal colours again, using a vintage greengrocer scrap, which was fussy cut. Lots of seeds and plants here:

Today is also Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday link party, so here a warm welcome to all of the lovely ladies of the T gang.

My drink is always cappuccino, so here some of this weeks beverages:

I just managed to stop myself from eating the cookie on time!

And on the 5th of each month we start  new challenge at More Mixed Media. All of our challenges are anything mixed media goes, and you have 4 weeks to join us there. The optional colour this month is black. I made an A3 mixed media face on a blue, black and green painted background. The face is one of  'my' heads, and the town was stenciled. The stars were collaged, the sentiment hand-written. I have used this head so many times, but I always seem drawn to using it again and again!

And I have some photos from my walks. On the day before we visited Xanten, which I showed last week, Nathalie drove us to  'Unterbacher See (lake)' . The lake is surrounded by beautiful woods, and we walked all round it, giving us a total of more than 18000 steps. It was a pleasant walk and afterwards we went to a snack bar near here. Nathalie had a huge pizza, and I had roast chicken, and we were so hungry we forgot all about photos till it was too late!

Somebody recently asked me if I didn't have hair, as I always wear a cap or hat. Yes, I still have hair, I just mostly like to tie it back and keep it under my cap!

Anyway, here you can see it, where I was getting ready to go out for my walk yesterday:

That's all for today!

Have a great one, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

2nd on the 2nd and more

Hi Everybody!

November got off to an appropriate start, cold,  grey and very wet. That seems to be the trend for the next few days, although it should be getting a little warmer, too, so it's not all bad. Still, what do we expect - it's November!

For Elizabeth's 2nd on the 2nd I am sharing some journal pages made back in 2016 with the theme of light and darkness, as I find this very suitable for this time of year when the days are getting shorter and the nights longer, making light so important for us:

And I have one more tag for my challenge at Tag Tuesday, anything goes. The image is from Gecko Galz and was printed onto canvas, which I fringed at the edges and sewed to a recycled card background:

Some Halloween decorations on the street where I live:

A cold and frosty early morning:

I love the beauty of frosted leaves and plants, even if it makes my fingers very cold taking the pics:

On Sunday  I visited my friend Nelya, and enjoyed the views  walking home over the bridge in the evening:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
