Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

 Here's wishing us all a great weekend. It's raining just now, but better than this humid heat we've had the past days. However, we have to take it as it comes and be thankful that it isn't worse!

Today I have another piece for Halle's challenge at AJJ. Buttons and bows are often very necessary when sewing:


And for Michele's challenge at Tag Tuesday I have a tag. Her theme is celestial. I have used a painting of Stonehenge made some years ago as a birthday present for myself. My birthday is on the day of the moon solstice, the shortest day and longest night in the year. Many 'Druids' and others gather there to celebrate, so this was my celebration. The tag has been cut from a copy and placed on another copy as background. Hope you like it:

David, do you know the name of this lovely bird?


Some thinkies/funnies:

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

Thursday/Friday post

Hi Everybody!

Thanks to all who sent good wishes, just knowing that other people care is a big help! Today I was out for the first time with Heike and we had a meal out, all very delicious. It's good to be getting back to normal again, but I must still take things very easy.

For Halle's 'I've got a notion' challenge at AJJ I have another sewing themed piece, very simple, but I like it, and hope that you do, too!


And of course I have more of David Zinn'e beautiful work:









And some thinkies and funnies:



Especially for Erika:



The owl with his keeper:


Beautiful reflection:


Hydrangeas:



I am linking to Art Journal Journey, Nicole's FFO and Gillena's AFFF

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

Tuesday -Wednesday post

Hi Everybody!

Today I am sharing another piece for Halle's 'I've got a notion' challenge at AJJ, and it's all about sewing and sewing accoutrements. 


And I have a mystery picture. I have no idea what I accidently clicked  while going past - any suggestions? It must have been taken at home, as I haven't been out, but I am clueless!

 

And now a mix of David Zinn's lovely images, funnies and thinkies:


Time to relax.....


Having a joke together:








And as today is Elizabeth's TsfT party, I have some drinks on offer - I hope there's enough to go round! And just now I'm not allowed to drink coffee!!





After this week I will be taking a break from TsfT as I am trying to cut back on things to stay healthy for a little bit longer. I need to cut down on posts and do more for myself - sad but true!

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