Monday / Tuesday Post - Mixed Bag

Hi Everybody!

Once again the day has run away from me. I went out for a meal with Heike at the Pizzeria, and it was most enjoyable. We had cappuccino and Tartufo iceceam for desert, so it was very, very good! Then when I was home I had a Zoom Meeting with a friend in England, and that was great, too.

So now I need to do a quick post....First of allI have a piece for Halle's 'I've got a Notion' challenge at AJJ:

And I have now finished this face, and am still not happy with it. I think I showed it as a WIP a couple of weeks back. But I'm not going to do any more!

This next piece is for my  'summer Holidays' tag challenge at Tag Tuesday, which runs for another week:

Last week I said I would show you my very favourite place in the world, and of course, it's London. I was born near the Tower of London, and even though I like Germany, I still miss London very much. And the Queen! Nothing against Charles and Camilla, but the Queen is not replaceable:

This board is hanging in my kitchen:

A coffee for Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday tomorrow, although I don't know if I will manage to join in:

I love this wonky cup, too:

This is a small mixed media dragonfly:

And some funnies and thinkies:

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

And thanks a lot for coming by!

Happy weekend!

Hi Everybody!

Here's wishing us all a  peaceful and restful weekend.

I had a busy week, and I am tired, so my weekend post is a mix of David Zinn's, Funnies, Thinkies and a strange face i made last week:

David Zinn:

I woke up to rainy weather this morning:

More from DZ:

Pickles is always good, too:

David Z:

Pickles again:

This strange piece is perhaps not quite as silly as it looks at first glance. I doodled this rather different face and then scribbled her hair. I put lots of thoughts into her head, I think we all have lots of random thoughts and ideas swimming around. And there are some patches on her face and neck. Does she feel hurt? Is she perhaps trying to conceal something? There's a piece of gauze glued over her mouth. Is there something that she can't or won't say? But there are some stars in her eyes - dreams? hopes?

What are your ideas?

Have a great weekend, take care,

And thanks a lot for coming by!

Friday faces and fun

Hi Everybody!

Today I am showing faces which I put onto tags in the past few years. I am linking to Nicole's FFO and Gillena's AFF.

This is a distant cousin of my Mother, Erika. I met her as an od lady when I was working in an old people's home here in Düssedorf:

And another visit to the past - my mum and her Uncle Benny with his wife at their wedding:

Sorry, not much talk-talk, my internet is very bad today so I want to get this posted before it get's worse!

Have a great Thursday / Friday, take care,

And thanks a lot for coming by!

Tag Tuesday - Summer holiday!

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday, and this time our theme is 'summer holiday', and I have the honour of hosting. First of all I would like to thank our lovely Michele, who made such beautiful tags for her fabulous Celestial challenge over the past 2 weeks. And of course, BIG thanks to Sandie, who keeps the blog going and is also updating the blog, which was sorely necessary .

My favourite place to go on holiday in summer is, of course by the sea:

It's lovely to dive into the water and relax. The starfish is one I brought back from a holiday many years ago:

And I love to see lighthouses:

And I love watching boats or going for a harbour trip or out to an island:

And no, this is not a photo of me:

Some might prefer to go to the country or to a farm, to enjoy the simple life. I did this once - the toilet was in the middle of a muddy field and had 3 seats, so no one had to venture out alone....Never again!

The seaside is better!

Paris is always worth a holiday visit, and the food is great:

Next week I will back to show my very, very, very favourite holiday places!

Tags of all sizes and shapes are welcome at Tag Tuesday, so hope to see lots of you joining in! Have fun!

Have a great day, take care,

And thanks a lot for coming by!
