Sunday / Monday post

Hi Everybody!

Yesterday I had some painting time in the afternoon, and this is what I made. It didn't turn out as I wanted, the cat looks bad tempered, but okay, it is as it is! I  think the quote is good - here it is in case you can't read my writing. And I made a spelling mistake!

'I have studied many philosophers and many cats.
The wisdom of cats is infinitely superior'
Hippolyte Taine

Bad weather;

Have a great day, take care,

Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

Here's wishing us all a very happy weekend.  Here they have threatened us with lots of rain, so I think that's asking for a lazy weekend at home! My fingers are very shaky again, so they need a rest, too!

I made a hybrid journal page using my photos of the pizza box - in which I brought my left-over pizza home - and the other photos I took of heike, the drinks and food. I am linking to my anything goes challenge at AJJ:

And this time it's a coffee tag - meant for  Sandie's favourite theme challenge at Tag Tuesday. This time I imported the photo of the coffee on the table into my graphics programme and  cut out the tag using a digital punch:

And a few funnies / thinkies:

Have a great weekend, take care,

Thursday Post

Hi Everybody!

This is a sort of 'it just happened' piece. I filled one of my needle-point bottles with gold paint and dribbled some on this piece of  craft paper to try it out. Then I added the threads and the TH boy. It reminded me of a long and winding road, so I added the line underneath It's a song from the time of the 1st World War, and was written by a singer who had lost his son in the fighting:

Keep right on to the end of the road,
Keep right on to the end,
Tho' the way be long, let your heart be strong,
Keep right on round the bend.
Tho' you're tired and weary still journey on,
Till you come to your happy abode,
Where all the love you've been dreaming of
Will be there at the end of the road.

(Harry Lauder)

Rain's theme is complementary colours and here are some of my tags which fit this colour scheme:

Midweek Post

Hi Everybody!

Today I have 2 pieces for various challenges to share. First up is an anything goes for my challenge at AJJ. I used a photo of a crumbling stone wall for the background. The bird on the branch is also one of my photos, the rest is assorted ephemera and then some digital additions, all put together in my digital programme:

The second piece is a tag for Sandie's new challenge, my favourite theme, at Tag Tuesday. I have once again used Leda, sorry, she seems to be on my mind just now:

Heike and I went to another café. It was a tiny bit more expensive, but the cups were larger and it tasted great:

T sTands for This and That

Hi Everybody!

Hope you all had a good weekend, and I wish us all a good, new week. I was once again out and about with my friend Heike, and somehow we landed at various cafés and a Pizzeria  - more later! 

For my anything goes challenge at AJJ I have an 8x8" piece made with leftovers. I did some stitching, but my machine keeps making ominous noises, so I kept it to a minimum. The face of Leda from da Vinci was stamped on tissue and fixed with art podge. The other embellishments were UFOs which were flying around my table The edges were rubbed with distress ink. The background behind it is a sheet of painted paper which will soon be shown for another project:

This evening we will start celebrating Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday, so here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies who visit here. My drink can be seen in the tall glasses.

On Saturday we decided to try a Pizzeria which has recently been enlarged and refurbished. It is pleasantly decorated in light, neutral colours and is a great place to eat:

Heike is saying Prost to you all - we drank our usual non-alcoholic weizen beer:

We started our meal with warm bread and garlic butter:

Heike had a salad with tuna and ham, but I forgot to take a photo. I had a Pizza Prosciutto, which was enormous - and delicious. Heike was kind and helped me to eat it!

All gone!

And last but not least, some spring beauties:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
