T stands for Tags and more

Hi Everybody!

I am slowly feeling better - but very slowly! I just don't seem to have any energy at all. But I'm sure it will improve day by day! Thanks to the lovely T Ladies who visited me last week although I wasn't even joining in, that was a great surprise!

This evening we start celebrating Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday drink party, so here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T Gang who visit here. Today I have some drinks to share:









 


And for Pinky's / my snow challenge I have another tag:


That's it for today, I need to rest!

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

Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

Hope you are all keeping well and safe. I am slowly recovering fom my Post-Covid, but still feel rather ghastly. But I have the feeling that it's moving in the right direction.

On Tuesday I should have had my post for Tag Tuesday ready, but I couldn't manage it, and dear Pinky took over at short notice.  Thanks
so much Pinky, I really appreciate this! And if you have time, visit her blog, it is always very well worth it! The theme is 'snow' so if anybody has some spare time a snow tag might be a good idea... I have a hybrid tag:



These tags were made in 2020, all using photos taken here where I live.

The first one shows the tree next to our house when we had lots of snow - back in 2010:

This one is a photo of the path leading to a little park near here:

This one is a photo of the path leading past the castle ruins, with my late husband as a baby and Erika as a little girl:

Some thinkies and funnies:







On Monday I hope to be back again with a new post. I will try to catch up on visiting you all over the weekend.

Have a great one, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!

Love of van Gogh....

Hi Everybody!

I am still feeling bad after Covid.  It has left me - thanks be! - but I still have a whole row of health problems, which the Doc called 'Post Covid' and are restricting my crafting possibilities.  I feel like my head has been stuffed with cotton wool, and that is just one thing!!

This lady really has the sky above her, and she is in love with van Gogh, so it is meant for wendy's  'Above us only sky' challenge at AJJ.





I hope to be back with you next week!

Have a great week, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!

 As some of you already know, the Covid Monster has caught me. Not nice, but I hope it soon bogs off and leaves me alone! This evening we will be starting Elizabeth's T Stands for Tuesday, and my entry this week is very short:


My choice:


Have a good start in the new week, that's all for today!

Happy T Day take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!

New Challenge at Art Journal Journey - Above us only sky

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at AJJ, and this time the lovely Wendy of Wendy's Art and Craft Journal  is our host. The theme - above us only sky - is the title of a Beatle's song. You can read more about it on our Blog AJJ.

And I would like to thank Jo for hosting last month and for all of the beautiful pages she created.

When I think of sky I always think of the paintings of van Gogh, and my first piece is a 'knock off'' of his starry night painting. I drew it using soft pastels. Then I added the tree at the front, the text, and the naked lady digitally. The lady is a pastel painting  made back in the 1990s. I love to combine things this way to make hybrid projects:



And I have some sky photos taken here at various times:














I hope to see lots off you joining in with this challenge, and look forward to seeing your creations. And above all have fun!

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