Monday Post, this and that

Hi Everybody!

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend. Here it was grey and cold, so  I stayed home and rested, and it was great to enjoy my coffee in bed, and then doze and read and listen to music. And it was sooo good that I repeated it on Sunday until the early afternoon, sometimes it's good to be old and lazy!

Today I have a piece for Erika's 'it's on the calendar' challenge at AJJ. I found an old invoice from a load of groceries I had delivered some years back, so I played with it with paints, stickers and more.It was from 2014, when I had the operation  for my 'new' knee:

And I have another A3 face painted in pastel colours, similar to the first one but also different....I used a stamp for her eye:

Sorry if I'm not writing much just now, typing is very hard!

Have a good start in the new week, take care,

And thanks a lot for coming by!

Weekend Post!

Hi Everybody,
It's weekend - enjoy! 

First of all I have a piece for Erika's 'it's on the calendar' challenge at AJJ. I found an old piece of designer paper, which gave me a good background. I added the stenciled faces, lots of colours and numbers and more....

And I have a face painted this week using mostly pastel colours, I just wanted to try something different!

And some thinkies and funnies:

I love this one!

Have a great weekend, take care,

And thanks a lot for coming by!

Thursday / Friday Post.

Hi Everybody!

Hope you have all well and truly arrived in the new year! I still have the feeling that I am not quite here or there, but I'm hoping for the best.

Today I have a tag for Sandie's  'Wings' challenge at Tag Tuesday. If you have a few spare minutes, it would be great if you could join in, too! I have a butterfly tag:

And I have a rather strange A3 piece for Erika's 'It's on the calendar' challenge at AJJ. This isn't a calendar, but it has lots of numbers. Amd if you read what's written round the head of the girl on the top right, it might start to make sense. I was just playing around on the cardboard backing from my block of paper ....

And some Thinkies and Funnies:

I think this one is another fake, there have been other 'murals' exactly here before, but they were all fun!

I am also linking to Nicole's FFO, Gillena's AFFF and  Rain's Thursday Blog, dance.

Have a great day, take care,

And thanks a lot for coming by!

Happy New Year - It's on the Calendar

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at Art Journal Journey, and this time our lovely Erika is hosting and her theme is 'it's on the calendar'. But it doesn't have to be a calendar page or about calendars - it can also be about dates and numbers. Read Erika's description on our AJJ Blog or on Erika's blog and see all of the ideas.

I have made a 12'' square page:

For the background I used an old piece of designer paper from LaBlanche, and added lots of pictures, numerals and letters, mostly from TH. The man with the bowler hat was printed onto book  paper and fussy cut. I added the freebie calendar and the date.

I wish you all a happy and healthy new year:

Have a Happy New Year, take care,

And thanks a lot for coming by!

Last Post for 2023

Hi Everybody!

Thanks to all who sent lovely cards and  messages for Christmas and to wish me better. I will take pictures soon and show them. I am feeling a bit better, but still having a lot of pain and problems to walk, but the doc  said it will get better. As long as I can do some painting or crafting each day I feel comforted. When I started painting this face I was planning on something different, but somehow it changed and I ended up with this blue lady and her blue bird, and I like it! This afternoon I am going to gather all of my markers and paint pens, and sort out those which  are dried up or not working any more,  which should help a little bit. We shall see! This will be my last piece for Wendy's 'above us only sky' challenge at AJJ:

And a tag for Sandie's challenge at Tag Tuesday, wings:

And now some funnies / thinkies:

Have a great weekend, take care,

And thanks a lot for coming by!
