T sTands for Tuesday on Monday

Hi Everybody!

Hope your weeekend was good. Mine started off well, went for dinner with a friend on Friday, got lots of work done on my balcony on Saturday, and then in the evening I started to freeze and shake, and had a temperature, and felt really bad. I went to bed, and stayed there all day on Sunday, with a bad conscience, because I always think I need to be doing someting....Anyway, I feel better now, but will still take things easier the next few days.

This evening we will be starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday, and this time our lovely and talented Michele is hosting. She has chosen buttons and bows for her theme. You can use both or just one of them on your tag. As always tags of all formats are welcome, and you have 2 weeks to join us. The challenge goes lives at 9 pm on Monday evening:

This evening we will also be celebrating Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party, so here a warm welcome to all of the lovely ladies of the T Gang who visit  here. A huge cup of cappuccino:

Out for a meal at 'Bruschetta' with Heike:

We were drinking alcohol free white beer. Mymeal was noodles with mushrooms and  chicken, Heike had salad with turkey steaks:

And on another evening we went out and had the same white beer- This is the only sort of beer I like:

Some friends went to a rhodadendron park and found a species called Valerie:

The neighbour's roses:

White wisteria, so beautiful:

I love seeing plants growing out of the walls.

Have a great day. take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Happy weekend

Hi Everybody!

I'm wishing you all a happy weekend a little bit earlier than normal as I want to take a few days off to see to things in real life, like plantimg flowers, tidying  and cleaning etc. I'll be back on Monday.

Today I have a hybrid piece made up with photos, a painted background, digital elements and an image from Gecko Galz, all digitally assembled. I am linking to Matilde's birds  challenge at AJJ:

Some photos from yesterday's walk:

And a funny for you. The text means 'I discovered this new bird species in front of my window':

Have a great weekend, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Midweek post

 Hi Everybody!

Time is flying by again, and i have been spending a lot of time outside enjoying the good weather and visiting friends, which means I didn't get a lot  done at home. But I must give myself a pat on the back for tidying up my closet and folding everything neatly, phew! But it does look good now - the question is only, for how long?

And I have managed to finish another A3 acrylic painting meant for Matilde's birds challenge at AJJ. I gave the background texture by brayering a mix of blues onto it. The birds and stars were stenciled, everything else was drawn or dotted by hand:

I am also linking to Rain's Thursday Art Date. Her theme is sun and water. My photos are all higgeldy-piggeldy mixed up, but I did manage to find pics of sun or water, so hope that is enough. Enjoy:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
