Midweek Post

Hi Everybody!

It's midweek already, time is flying!

I have another journal page to share for Wendy's vintage challenge at AJJ. This time I started with an old tag, which I placed into the centre of an A4 page, and then painted the page with diluted acrylics to match the colours of the tag. Then I sewed around the tag and sewed the page onto some black cardstock This was  a quick and easy one:

And a funny for you:

Yesterday I took a walk along the stream next to the house. The fields have been planted with bee-friendly plants to make a huge and beautiful meadow. Blogger changed the order of the photos again!

The hedgerows are full of berries:

I waded through the sea of flowers, they came up to my waist, and it was a great feeling to be in the middle of all these beautiful plants and to hear insects buzzing around me:

Even though summer is almost over, they made a wonderful display.

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

New Challenge at TIOT

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at TIOT and our theme is 

😊😊Going Round in Circles😊😊 

Please have a look at our blog and see the lovely pieces my teamies have made. As always, you have 2 weeks to join us, and projects of all formats are welcome. Hope to see YOU there.

I made a vintage page so that I can also link to Wendy's challenge at AJJ. The green disk on the right is one of the oldest astronomical artifacts ever found, the sky disk of Nebra. You can read about its very interesting history  here.
I think the man sitting at the bottom is dreaming about the world and the planets going round and round:

And I have another pair of narrow tags recycled from old birthday cards for my recycling challenge at Tag Tuesday. I made a similar pair with a different colour scheme some weeks back. The are nice to use on presents:

And some photos from our little town. These beautiful houses are in 'Stiftsplatz', the church close:

Along Market Street:

I love these fun lights at a little cafe here, where I had breakfast with a friend a week back:

And the beautiful, rusty sculpture in the castle grounds:

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

T sTands for Tired

Hi Everybody!

Hope your weekend was good, now have a good and safe week. I am still extremely exhausted, if I go for a short walk I feel like I have run a marathon. I hope sooner or later that I feel a bit better and get some of my energy back.

Today I have another tag for my challenge at Tag Tuesday. I hope some other people join in, you still have a week. The strip of paper with the stamped texts was in my bit-box. I added the images - stamps are from Crafty Individuals - and fixed it onto part of a cardboard envelope after roughing up the edges. Then I added the scrap of lace and sewed the edges:

And I have a journal page for Wendy's vintage challenge at AJJ. Do you know who the two men in the photo are? Left is Albert Einstein and right is Charlie Chaplin. And  this anecdote goes with it:

It was said that Charlie Chaplin was the only person in Hollywood Albert Einstein wanted to meet.

In 1931, he got his chance to talk to the actor at the premiere of the film 'City Lights'.

Einstein: "What I most admire about your art, is your universality. You don’t say a word, yet the world understands you!"

Chaplin: "True. But your glory is even greater! The whole world admires you, even though they don’t understand a word of what you say."

This evening we will also be celebrating Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party, where we gather to share what we are up to and what we are drinking. Here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T Gang who visit here.

My drink is coffee, as always:

My friend had water:

And some sky photos:

And the hole in the road is still waiting....

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
