T sTands for This and ThaT on Tuesday

Hi Everybody!

The warm, wet and windy weekend is over and a new week has begun. The Rhine and the little stream next to the house are very full, and we have been promised more rain. But I don't mind being out in the rain in my waterproof clothes, I would just like a third hand to hold the umbrella while I take pics! From tomorrow we have been promised more wind and rain, but from the North, which will bring us colder temps and perhaps even snow, who knows?

For Wendy's black, white and red theme at Tag Tuesday I made another hybrid tag, using pics made with stencils and then digitally fitted into the 'film' :

It is also time for Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party, so here a warm welcome to all of the lovely ladies of the T Gang. As Elizabeth is also hosting AJJ  this month with hearts as her theme, I made a hybrid coffee journal page using elements from Mischief Circus (Itkupilli) and me:

Saw the old coffee pots and Meissen cups in the antique shop window:

And these pieces are on show in a thrift shop:

And a home-made cappuccino in my arty and rather untidy kitchen - looks like the paint-brushes are in the cup, but they were behind it!

And I had a coffee here and there at the bakery:

I went for a meal with Nathalie, we were hungry and ate the food before we could take a photo, but here's the Cola light we had with it:

And I got a wonderful surprise from CJ Kennedy, who sent me a beautiful, hand-made Chinese New Year card, with fantastic stamps and beautiful script - thanks so much! This made my day!

On Thursday evening after art group I walked through our little town and along the river as the rain had stopped for a few minutes:

Sunset in a puddle:

Decided to take another path home:

On the street where I live, almost home:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Weekend Post and 2nd on the 2nd on the 1st

Hi Everybody!

Here's wishing us all a good weekend. We have extremely mild and springlike temperatures here, but have been promised more or less non stop rain over the whole weekend - time for brolly, boots and raincoat!

For Tag Tuesday I have another tag for Wendy's black, white and red challenge. I made a hybrid tag using elements from Serif and a photo of me as a baby :

For Elizabeth's 2nd on the 2nd I have some faces to share from 2015:

Today it was rather grey most of the day, but dry enough to enjoy walking:

I was happy to see the first crocuses by the Rhine:

The daffodils are almost ready:

The snowdrops are still a joy to see:

On Wednesday the weather was very changeable and we were treated to sun, rain, dark-clouds, hail-stones and rainbows in quick succession:

Thanks to all who sent well wishes for my fingers. The necrotic, black patches are slowly healing, and we have started to reduce the amount of cortisone. I still have to take my 'candies' every day, but am hopeful that it will soon get less. These are my morning candies, but I get more for lunch and tea!

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