Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

Thanks to all for the encouraging comments to get enough rest and heal out completely, much appreciated. And I bought a big jar of honey to do myself some good, as Pinky recommended!

I have another recycled piece for Chris' and Erika's challenge, inspired by, at AJJ, where they took over the theme as Eileen is sadly no longer with us. Elizabeth is recycling this month, so she inspired this. I cleared out the art tote I used at the clinic, and found these strips of paper, the 2 pieces of thread and the 2 feathers when I tipped everything out. I wove them together to make this A4 piece on black cardstock. I also found  a shabby looking piece of chocolate and a rather crushed Crispbread  which I decided not to recycle:





Today I had to go to my doctor, so I enjoyed a walk in the sunshine, and came back through the fields and then along the stream to the street where I live. It is still very cold, but the sun makes it bearable, and it was good to be out for half an hour. I took some photos with my cell-phone. The doctor's office is just a few steps from the Rhine:










A shoe tree?










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

TGIF

Hi Everybody! 

Today I am sharing a piece made for AJJ, where Chris and Erika are hosting with the theme of 'inspired by', chosen by Eileen, who is sadly no longer with us.
I was inspired by bright colours, and I recycled parts of 2 different journal pages and a face from my sketchbook and put them together to make a new and colourful piece. It also fits to Elizabeth's theme of recycling. I used a ready made background and pepped it up with lots of splatters. Then I added the face, which was digitally cut out from the page and placed in the floral ring. The blackbird is one of my balcony friends. I am also linking to Paint Party Friday.



I am still really exhausted, and need to stay home and rest, so I have some photos from this day 2 years ago:

Have a great day, take care,

To bee or not to bee....

Hi Everybody!

Okay the title is a groaner, I know. I couldn't resist it!

I am back home, all went well in hospital, the stent is out, and I had no bad side effects. I am just very tired, so just  a short post today. The tag is for wendy's challenge at Tag Tuesday, 'bees':



Bees are  vital for our existence, so please plant bee friendly plants and flowers in your gardens!







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