Weekend Post - This and That and the neighbours cats

Hi  Everybody!
It's weekend - enjoy! 

Today I have a hybrid piece for Jo's 'Beautifully wild' challenge at AJJ:


The beautiful and very colourful purple background was a freebie from our lovely Lyn aka Spyder who generously shares a lot of her creations - thanks! As soon as I saw this I wanted it for Jo's challenge, and Einstein fitted to it wonderfully .

I also have a vintage tag for Sandie's challenge at Tag Tuesday. I used a photo from a distant cousin taken when she was a child. I had the pleasure of looking after her in a nursing home in her last few years. She was well over 90 and Pizza was her favourite food!


And I have a collection of Thinkies, Funnies and Zinnies!















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

Thursday-Friday Post and Tag Tuesday

Hi Everybody!

Hope you are all having a good week and keeping well. Here it's been alternately very hot and very wet, so I'm wondering what tomorrow will bring! I have once again being doing a lot of reading andx painting. Last night I listened to an audio book, and fell asleep. I woke up and couldn't understand why people were talking in my bedroom, but eventually I got the message and switched it off! Now I will have to try to find the part where I fell asleep so that I don't miss anything!

The new challenge at Tag Tuesday is being hosted by dear Sandie, who has chosen the theme of vintage:



Today I am sharing some repeats from past years for Nicole's FFO and Gillena's AFFF, and the tag also has a lovely face:


















Hope you enjoy the heads and faces!

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

Monday-Tuesday Post

Hi Everybody!

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend.  On Saturday I was out and about for a few hours with Heike. While she had her hair styled I went shopping and enjoyed a nice cappuccino while I was at it. When we were finished we went for a Saturday Soup at Cafe Schuster. Every Saturday they serve a different soup, with a nice roll and a drink. No, I didn't drink coffee with it , I took a Cola Light. We had barley soup with veggies and beef in it - delicious. And you get a huge bowl of soup. The bowls are almost as big as the potties some people used to have under their beds in the good old days!

A few weeks back I bought a new smart phone, and I have been trying and trying to get my main mail address put into it. Every time I put in the email address and password, it told me that either the name or the password was wrong. I was sure I had my name right so day by day I have been trying to find a password that might be the right one. Then I looked at it again. Names in e-mail addies are written without capital letters. And my name had a capital letter at the beginning, big and ugly. I changed it and - voilà - success at last! Honestly, how stupid can you get? I wasted hours because of this. Next time I will be more careful!  

Today I have a hybrid piece for Jo's beautifully wild challenge at AJJ. The background was painted and collaged, and the beads and Alice were added digitally. I wanted it to be more than wild!

And I have some  cups ready for tomorrow! I'm showing this coffee maker again as some may have missed it at the weekend:





And this is really ugly, but he's got coffee!


And in my rather wild painting there is tea and coffee on offer!



And once again I have an eclectic mix of funnies, thinkies and photos etc:


I love taking photos of the anchor by the Rhine -  here are a few taken at different times:










Have a great start in the new week, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!
