T sTands for Tuesday on Monday once again

Hi Everybody!

This weekend has gone by very quickly. I didn't visit blogs, I didn't go anywhere, I didn't do any housework. But I did try to join in some of the many free art courses which were being offered, and had fun painting, getting my fingers dirty, and eating lots of probably unhealthy snacks. But I enjoyed them, and had a great weekend, which helped me to relax. And that is the main thing! I am just choosing a few of the many lessons being offered, more would be too much! For this lesson we had to divide a large sheet of paper  - I used A3 - with painters' tape into squares. We could choose up to 3 paints as well as black or white. I chose orange, yellow and turquoise- I kept my abstracts very simple. After I had pulled off the tape, I made some dots with acryl pens. Then I added a little cat to each square so that I can join Elle's Books, cats and tea challenge at AJJ:

This evening we will be celebrating Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday drink & link meeting, so here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T Gang:

And some thinkies / funnies:

Have a great day, take care,

And thanks a lot for coming by!

New challenge at AJJ -Books, cats and tea

Hi Everybody!

A new month has begun, and that means a new challenge at Art Journal Journey, and this time the lovely Elle from  Empire of the cat is hosting. She has chosen a fun theme - Books, Cats and Tea. And it doesn't always need to be all three on one journal page. You can read more on our blog here.

To start off  I made a page with all three and a bit more - the loving owner of the black and white cat, a selection of her books,  and Striker, her cat. Both of them like reading and drinking tea:

This last one is upside down so you can read the upside down script on the image the right way round. Sorry for the bad handwriting, some days I am just very shaky:

Yesterday we had a stormy evening, and I was happy that the clouds grew less so that we could see the wonderful, full moon:

And some Thinkies / Funnies - enjoy!

I am having a restful weekend, so I'll see you all again on Monday.

Have a great weekend, take care,

And thanks a lot for coming by!

Thursday /Friday Post

Hi Everybody!

Hope you are all doing well, I have been resting a lot and trying to recover after falling. Today is cold, rainy and grey outside, actually weather I like very much, but I have decided to give myself one more day at home before I go out again. As I write this it's  Wednesday, and my lovely home help has just left. My home is spick and span, he works very well. And I thought it might be a good idea to write a couple of blogposts in advance instead of at the eleventh hour!

On Tuesday evening it got stormy, and then the rain poured down, and I sat in the corner of my balcony - to keep dry - and took photos. Some are very grainy, it got dark quickly, and I only had my phone to hand. I put my camera in a safe place - but where? And ideas where I might have put it?!

I have lots of faces to share, some of them new ones, and will be linking them on Friday to Nicole's FFO and Gillena's AFFF:

This is one I have already shown:

This one was made at the same time, but hasn't been shown yet:

I showed the doggy a couple of weeks back on my blog:

This lady has also aready been on show, and the next 2 heads, too:

 

This is a characature of me (ugh) made at a town fair a couple of years back. I'm happy to say we didn't have to pay for the pics!

And I have no idea what posessed me to make this Lady :

More fun faces:

Have a great day, take care,

And thanks a lot for coming by!
