Feeling Fragile..

I have so many pictures in my files I thought I'd put some up

for you to see.

It just gives me pleasure to work on something beautiful.

There is so much in this world that is ugly and hateful that I can do nothing about.  So  I choose to immerse myself in another world. It reduces pain and stress for me and in it I can feel content. I can no longer go out and enjoy the hustle and bustle of shopping and everyday life. But I can travel to faraway places in the comfort of my chair, with the help of letters, email and photos I can view, courtesy of my many online friends.

I had chest pains last night so I am feeling a bit fragile. 

By tonight I shall feel well enough to face the onslaught of children who are all going

to try and frighten me in their costumes, face paint and fanged teeth!

Sweeties at the ready!

Have a great Fright Night!

Love and blessings

Don't be afraid.....be terrified!

Thank the good Lord the storm passed us by safely.

We just caught the edge of it.

Unfortunately 4 people died with falling trees crushing cars and houses.

Others were left with massive property damage.

At least they gave plenty of warning.

My picture today is for Hallowe'en.

The grandchildren will be round to scare me in the dark

with parents in tow.

Have a safe day dear ones,

Love and Hugs

TAW..Purple and Green..

The Challenge this week on Take a Word is to use Purple and Green colours.

So I've used them in my background that I made and painted.

The cross is a wooden icon cross that I bought last week.

 I thought it was so beautiful I'd use it for the challenge.

I hope we don't get too much wind tonight and hope everyone

keeps safe.

Thanks for looking.

Have a wonderful week.

Catz Galore...!!

Prince Regent Cat.

The Cat and the Carousel.

The Vamp Cat.

As well as altering pictures of the Mona Lisa, another favourite

of mine is to turn cats into humans!

I love to find beautiful paintings or photos, like the Vamp Cat, above.

This was a 1950 designer dress, so beautiful!

We've been told by the Weathermen to 'batten down the hatches' as there are very strong winds about. It could do lots of damage wherever it lands.

I've just had a lovely visit from my granddaughter Rebecca and her partner Donna.

Wonderful to see them looking so happy.

Wishing you all a great Saturday dear friends.

The Wonderful Mona..

I love to find Old Master's paintings and fit Mona into them somehow with a new background.

So here's a couple more. I have quite a collection now.

I always think she looks so elegant in these costumes.

And I think she must be the most altered painting of all time!

Well the weekend is upon us once again. The shops are all geared up for Hallowe'en  

and the shopping channels on TV have had Christmas trees up for ages.

I think it takes a lot of the joy out of Christmas. It's a bit of a letdown when it gets here and nobody thinks to mention the reason for the season! In the States they just say 'Happy Holidays!'

I wonder what your thoughts are....?

Have a wonderful weekend.
