T sTands for everything all together!

 Hi Everybody!

Hope you had a good weekend. I spent most of Sunday in bed sleeping, I was really out of it and just slept on and on. Now it's 5.20 pm and I am having breakfast while typing my post.... First up I have a journal page, 12x12" for our lovely Alison's things that fly challenge at AJJ. Here I used 2 large (8") tags made previously and sewed them onto a piece of scrapbook paper which I stamped with various dragonflies in Stazon ink. Then I added the transparent butterfly and the  white dragonfly. My home-help mended my sewing-machine, and threaded it for me, so now I can sew till the next catastrophe happens....The quote on the righthand tag is from Leonardo da Vinci:





And for Elizabeth's 2nd on the 2nd (on the 3rd) I have some fitting journal pages:
These pictures were all made for a challenge  of 'Things with Wings' at AJJ way back in May 2014, and they fit well to Alison's challenge:














The quote in this one is from Shakespeare's Hamlet, and was spoken by Hamlet's Uncle/Stepfather, who had a very guilty conscience:




This evening we will start celebrating T Day, so here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T Gang who visit here. My photos for Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday are also from some years back:






And these were taken last week at our fave Café:



Happy 4th of July:


And 2 animal funnies:



Have a great week, Happy T Day, Happy July 4th -
Happy Everything!

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

Midweek post - more numbers

Hi Everybody!

Hope you are all doing well. I am once again very exhausted, and will therefore be taking a break for a couple of days, I will be back in action for July 1st! I will try to do some commenting as and when I can. Today I have my last 2 pieces for Matilde's numbers challenge at AJJ. I am sure this first gentleman needs no introduction:



This second piece has been in action for years, and now I have finished it, it took ages. :
