Midweek Post

Hi Everybody!

Hope your week is going well. My computer and mouse are having hissy fits all day, everything is taking twice as long as it should! I hope I manage to get this post done and dusted. And my apartment needs dusting, too, got a visitor coming tomorrow!

This is a hybrid page made with a face I painted, a rusty photo taken by me, and some digital flowers and birds. Some people are rather disparaging of hybrid or digital art, but it is a lot of work and often takes as much time to make as a hands-on page. I love making things like this as it opens up many new possibilities to be creative. I am linking to Matilde's birds chllenge at AJJ, and to Rain's Tad, blooming flowers:

Today I have some pre-covid pictures to share, when wse visited the neighbouring town of Neuss, a town foundcd by the Romans way back when. We visited a flea market and walked through the crowded town, it feels so strange now to see people close together and not wearing masks:

If you look hard you can see me in this pic:

More flowers for Rain:

The figures on this building move and 'march' about every so many minutes:

And more blooming flowers for Rain's TAD:

Some funnies / thinkies:

I'm glad I managed to finish the post without further problems!

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by! 

T sTands for Tuesday on Monday

Hi Everybody!

The weekend has once again disappeared in a flash and it's time for a new week - let's hope it will be a good one!

Today I have a hybrid piece made for Matilde's birds challenge at AJJ. The beautiful bird and nest was a freebie from  the Graphics fairy, the other pieces from my stash:

Michele's challenge at Tag Tuesday is to use bows and or buttons. My first tag is made for her challenge and for Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party, which begins this evening.  Here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T Gang. The background of the tag was cut from the packing of a delicious bar of chocolate I was given. The button at the top is a coffee cup, and at the bottom yet another one, stamped , fussy cut and covered with bronze glitter:

The second one has a pink bow:

Somehow I was out and about a lot this week, so there are lots of drinks. The first is an alcohol-free white beer:

And of course, lots of cappuccino:

And we had a wonderful meal one evening, Heike had salad with grilled chicken, and I had a baked potato with herb cream cheese and salad:

Love these flowers growing out of the caste wall:

Some thinkies / funnies:

And some photos taken in our little town:

Have a great week, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Weekend Post

Hi Eveybody!

Its weekend, enjoy! We have had some storms again this week. Major storm warnings were issued, but here at least it was just a 'normal' one, but it was pretty bad some places. I have another dotty piece for you today. I think the dots are addictive! This is an A3 mixed media piece, painted with acrylics. I found a scrap of fancy yarn and added it to the crow as feathers. This is meant for Matilde's bird challenge at AJJ

Some pics before the storm started:

Then it started to rain:

And came down really heavily:

And then it was over and the air was cooler and I sat out on my balcony again:

The hole in the road and the 60 meters of damage to the drainage etc is almost repaired:

They are hoping to be finished by the end of the month. This has been going on now for 10 months:

It was very hot while I was out so on the way home I popped into the ice parlour and got a small ice, 2 scoops of my fave bitter choc ice, yummy!

Have a wonderful weekend, take care

and thanks a lot for coming by!
