3M challenge...Silhouettes...

 

These are my pictures for the Three Muses challenge this week,

Silhouettes.

For the top one I tried to do something a little

different but I'm not sure it worked!

And the one below is everyone's idea of a silhouette.

 

Thanks so much for your visit and comments.

I really appreciate them.

And Thank You to the Three Muses for always coming

up with great challenges.

I must add a BIG PS here...
The hospital rang me yesterday to say Freddie is coming home
this afternoon! I can't take it in yet.......

 



Early Riser.....

Old Tapestry

 



 

Perfumes and Spice

 

Another couple of pictures I've made, just to please me.

In fact almost all my pictures are made to please me.

I like challenges but they still have to be something I like.

 

I was up long before the lark this morning. I had a sleepless

night, all sorts of things were churning over in my mind.

I guess we all have nights like that.

So as the day wears on I shall slowly flag. I often watch a good

film, only to wake up and find I've missed the ending!!

 

Have a great day,

love and Hugs

TAW.. Couples..

 

The Art of Love

 

 

Forever Love

 

The romanric dream of all young couples but unfortunately for many it is only to be found in

fairy tales and novels.

These are my collages for the Take a Word's challenge this week...Couples...

and I've chosen the romantic route!

 

Thanks so much for your visit and comment.

Images from Itkupilli..

 

I have several of Itkupilli's Kits and I love her images.

You just can't go wrong with them.

 

There are vague whispers and rumours going around that Frederick may

be on his way home soon.

There will probably have to be some care package in place

so I am keeping my fingers crossed!!

 

The best part of the day has gone and it's growing colder again.

 

Love and Hugs

Strong..

 

A couple of collages I made recently.

I try to kid myself I am Strong and Powerful but how I feel today

it's not working!

Mind you I have been shoving, pulling and pushing bits and pieces

 of small furniture about so I guess it's my own fault.

I just hate feeling so helpless and having to rely on others all the time.

 

Freddie seems to be progressing, taking little walks and I am feeling

hopeful about him.

 

Thanks for your visit,

love and Hugs

3 M...Word Journal...

My word is Hope

and means everything to me.

It is said, after Pandora opened the box and out flew all the troubles of the world,
all that was left in the bottom of the box, was Hope.

Thank you for looking dear friends

Start the Day Right...

 

 

A couple of collages I've made recently with old vintage postcards of these beautiful ladies. They always appeal to me with their artful poses and lovely figures. These collages have been very well received on Flickr. I seem to have gathered quite a lot of 'fans'!!
(Click the square box on the left to have a look!)

 

Busy day today. My new carpet for the bedroom is coming this afternoon complete with two men (!) to fit it. Can you imagine the turmoil in the rest of this tiny, tiny bungalow as everything from the bedroom has been spread around in the rest of the space. I have a 12 inch wide gap to get to my computer so that's OK and a free chair in here for Algie to sit on!

 

Have a great day everyone,

Love and Hugs

Hats and Things.. TAW..

 

Here is my collage for Take a Word this week. A bit of Steampunk fun,
and you wouldn't believe how long it took me to cut out her helmet!

Thank you for your visit.

 

After a worrying few days my daughter took me to see Freddie last night. He looks very frail but is recovering yet again after another nasty infection with the help of yet more anti-b's.

I managed to cut his hair a bit and we tidied him up. He felt so much better for seeing me he said.

So on we go again one step at a time.

 

 

 

Faces...

 

 

A collage I finished this morning.

I love the colours.

 

 

After three days of not receiving any phone calls from Freddie, the hospital rang me to say he was rather unwell, they were 'concerned' and 'keeping an eye' on him. And 'doing their best'.

You can imagine my concern. My son visitted yesterday afternoon and then Freddie himself finally rang me. 'I couldn't speak to you as I had an oxygen mask on!'

He has had a bad chest infection and felt very ill.

Thank God he is on the mend again. He rang me this morning to say he was feeling better and had eaten his breakfast.

I am hoping to visit him at last, maybe this evening.

Please keep him in your prayers.

Challenges..

An Apple a Day

Chicken Run

Over on Flickr, the challenge this week is to make something in the

3M...Still Life..

Something different from the Three Muses challenge today.

A Still Life or Less is More!

I don't feel I'm much good in this genre but here are

my efforts anyway.

The background is a very old page from the late

 Jean Dougherty and the books and rose were Googled.

I'm looking forward to seeing all yours!

Love and Hugs

Down in the Woods...

If you go down in the woods today

You're sure of a big surprise!

No teddy bears picnic but you never know...........

TAW...Moon...

Good Morning everyone,

Hope you've all had a great weekend!

Take a Word has asked us for a Moon challenge this week.

So I made two quite different ones.
The background for the top one is a painting by
John R. Math.

Thanks so much for your comments.

They are much appreciated.

How she loved her pets...

She was such a lucky girl to have so many pets but

fancy keeping a giraffe inside the house.

Fortunately there were lots of servants to clean up the mess!

In the next room she kept her tigers and colourful parrots! 

Something Musical for the Three Muses

Here is my piece for the Something Musical Challenge.

I can always work with a music theme, I was brought up with music,

all my family played something, either accordions or pianos and

both my children were taught piano.

I have no room for instruments now but I bought a beautiful 

shiny black baby grand that

lives with Sally so I can play when I want to!

I always thought it would be lovely to play a Spanish guitar.

Well thank you for looking in,

I appreciate your comments.

TAW... HOME...

Today's challenge on take a Word is HOME!

I've taken a more whimsical route today with my illustrations

but I'm sure the quote rings a bell with most people.

The little doll comes from Linda Cumberland.

Hope you've all had a great weekend and ready to face

what this week may bring.

The Gypsy..

Such a dreadful dull and wet day again.

So I had a play with layers. The woman is a vintage pic I found on Google

 and the same with the background. Then they were altered and layered

 and I was quite pleased with how it turned out.

I saw an online tutorial for a similar effect but I am useless at

following them!  After two steps I've lost it.

So I just followed my nose for a similar effect.

Wishing you all a happy Saturday!

Fairy playtime..

Having a look round my files I found this old

photo of me and my dad.

Nothing else to do so had a little play with it.

Perhaps I should call it Fool's Friday.......
I still believe in fairies!! LOL!

Collaboration...

These two pictures are made with backgrounds by a very dear 

friend of mine. And I attempted to make two very different looks.

I was awake at 4am this morning and couldn't get back to sleep.

It looks dry at the moment but we have strong winds forecast..(again)!

I am still feeling under par and haven't left the house for what seems an age.

Keep well everyone,

Love and Hugs

Sewing lesson..

I love these little dollies and wondered if they'd like a sewing lesson!

Freddie's foot is progressing nicely so 'they' say but he still 

mustn't walk on it so God only knows when he'll be home.

love and Hugs

Just for Fun...

Wishing everyone a happy New Years Day.

Hugs from

June and Algie!

And this is for the challenge from the Three Muses.
Colour me Happy.
I sometimes think I am afraid of colour...I hardly ever make
anything in really bright colours so I made this.
Looking forward to seeing what you make! xx
