Sunday post

Hi Everybody!

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend as much as possible under the circumstances. It was cooler here today, and started off grey and cloudy, but in the afternoon the sun came out again.

For AJJ I have another hybrid journal page for my geometric shapes challenge. The background was hand painted, textured and dripped. The silhouettes were added digitally and the sentiment is from Leonardo da Vinci:

Here at home I have done a lot of reading, thanks to Kindle I have as many new books as I want. And I have been sewing more masks. They are not perfect, I am still having difficulties with my fingers, but they will do the job. And I am using up lots of recycled scraps, which is good. I have given away more than 30, and have more now for those who still need them:

And flowers brighten my day:

Some photos taken on my walks:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Never stop looking up

Hi Everybody!

We had another warm and sunny day here, but still no rain, so everybody's hoping that some moisture will soon come our way and water the fields and trees which are suffering under the drought.

For my 'geometric shapes' theme at AJJ I have another hybrid journal page. The background is one of my van Gogh knockoffs, drawn with pastel chalks on a background painted with blue acrylics. I digitally added the sky disc of Nebra, a beautiful artifact found near Nebra in Saxony.

Friday This and That

Hi Everybody!

This week is racing by, I don't know where the time goes,  it just does!

Hope you and your families and friends are all keeping well and safe.

Today I needed a prescription from the doctor.  I rang up and said what I needed, and was told that the doctor would ring me back. He called me a few minutes later and we had a consultation over the phone. Then he said I could collect my prescription in half an hour. It was duly handed to me  through the window when I got there. 'Corrina' is teaching us new ways! It was much safer than having to sit in a waiting room, and it was much quicker than a normal visit!

For my geometric shapes challenge at AJJ I have a hybrid page. I used my new tag for Tag Tuesday,  digitally magicked onto a painted background with some digital additions from Serif and Mischief circus:

This is the 2nd of the series of 4 tags, each 12 x 5", made for my 'anything goes' challenge at Tag Tuesday. You can see the first one here

if you missed it. The tag was painted, textured and then sewed onto purple card, the dots were added with structure paste and a stencil:

I am also linking to Paint Party Friday and TIOT, fun with stencils.

We have had warm and sunny and often windy weather this week, with wonderful sunrises each day:

I enjoyed my early morning walks along the Rhine and through the fields:

This feather fell down in front of me as I was walking along:

The horse chestnuts are in full bloom:

The blackthorn is beautiful, too:

And I always love dandelions:

The cormorant was on the look out for breakfast:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
