Midweek Post - owls and more

Hi Everybody!

Yesterday we started a new challenge at Tag Tuesday, and this time it was not my fault that we had some problems. Thanks to Sandie who helped get everything sorted, and now the blog is up and running. Our theme is owls, and we have wonderful examples from Sandie and Wendy to inspire you!

I made a very quick hybrid tag;

I am looking forward to seeing your creations at Tag Tuesday. You have 2 weeks to join us, and tags of all formats are very welcome!

And I have another still life to share, I'm finding it hard to stop painting these  pictures! Same ideas, different colors. This is once again an A3 page painted with acrylics:

And some thinkies / funnies:

And some nice jokes for a good laugh - pass them on, make others laugh, too!

Tomorrow I hope to be back again with another piece for Chris's 'where in the world challenge' at AJJ - I am having problems keeping up with so many challenges!

Have a great day, take care,

And thanks a lot for coming by!

It's Monday again....

Hi Everybody!

The weekend flew by again. Here it has been very hot again, so not my cup of tea! Today I have one more piece for Sandie's sewing challenge at Tag Tuesday. I sewed the edges together using my neighbour's machine, mine has stopped working again. If you look at the table and shelves in the background there are also glasses and a coffee pot, so this will double as my ticket for Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday, which will be beginning Monday evening:

I painted this in the night from Friday to Saturday. We had a storm with thunder and lightning and it woke me up. I couldn't get back to sleep, so I went into my kitchen and painted using the leftover paints on my palette. I grabbed an A3 sheet of kraft paper and just doodled round and round in circles. I put a green eye in the middle, and added some insect stick-ons which were on my table. I wrote the title on the edge - 'In the eye of the storm'. Then I went to bed and slept!

We went for a meal at the Pizzerie again. I had Penne with salmon and Heike had broccoli and cheese bake:

We had our usual non-alcoholic Weizen beer:

And afterwards we had coffee - what else?

And some balcony photos:

And some thinkies / funnies:

Have a happy T Day, take care,

And thanks a lot for coming by!

Happy Weekend

Hi Everybody! 

Once again, time has been moving quicker than I can, so this will once again be a short post.

Today I am sharing another still life - I am enjoying these pieces just now, and they help me to calm down and slow down for an hour or two, and that is good. I used the paints  left over from my painting of PAWla Pink, and had a fun time creating layers, adding things, painting over it all again and having fun, and this was the final result, and I'm happy to say I like it!

Some photos from my balcony this week:

And my balcony garden, which is growing and thriving!

And some thinkies / funnies:

Have a great weekend, take care,

And thanks a lot for coming by!
