Collaging. PoliXena

Happy Saturday dear friends. As I promised I´m posting one of my "traditional" collages. I create them as a way of keeping in touch with myself, they are a great way to be present, to stop my worries and become more serene and grateful. Long time ago I discovered that the only way to achive happines is to improve our self-knowledge... and I find collages are very useful.

Hope you like it. Have a nice weekend. Hugs, X. xxxx

Self-discovery - jangold

This is a picture from a few days ago of some of my gardening work, literally lining up for me to do ! I have discovered through this blog that I am fanatical about taking pictures of rows of things - is there anything you have found out about yourself since joining this blog?

Yesterday because it was such a lovely day I trimmed and shaped all these buxus plants. The front one is in situ at the entrance to our back garden - the other two are to go in tall zinc style pots in the front garden. We are just about to go and get some stones to weigh the pots down so that the pots do not go walk abouts with our local youth.

We have beautiful blue skies again today and tomorrow it speaks of being even nicer. Happy weekend to you all. Jan

My hobby (Farfalla13)

This is my card closer.

When I have free time I love to make cards or book marks. This is one of my favorite cards i made :) HOpe you like it. By the way its my first time on blog.

Steve In The Garden

Here is my male kitty, Steve, making his way through my
garden. All three of my cats HATE that gravel! They
use the wooden garden borders like roads, tip toeing
along on the wood so they don't have to walk on that
sharp gravel! :)

Gardening at last - jangold

The sun is out at last here and forecasts it will be around for the weekend as well ... quote Sunday will be a 'scorcher'. So it's to the garden at last - lots of things to tidy up and things to plant and get out of the shed. I'm also going to create some aluminium style tubs at the front with some buxus plants which I have just cut into shape. So I predict the noise of lawn movers around 5pm this evening ... now what do they say about mad dogs and Englishmen? Have a happy Friday and weekend girls. Hugs Jan

Apple Pie

Hi,
I just came up to say hello because unfortunately I'm not coming here as often as I would like, so this time I want to share with you my apple pie. It smells heavenly!
Have a good weekend,
Monika

Luckily he didn't say cheese...from Ann

Hi girls :D

The first picture is from the tree in front of my house. I live opposite a park so I have many trees in front of my house but this one is the closest...its in bloom now.

The second picture is from the plants (3) I bought today to put on my balcony. I went outside to take the pic but the moment I want to take it I saw my downstairs neighbor in the garden...wearing almost nothing...so I rushed inside again...before he might think I was taking a pic of him ;) So I took the pic of my plants from inside the house...behind the window.

Our Victorian House - jangold

Lee and I live in an old Victorian house. You can see the sign that sits between ours and next door where the row of 4 houses is called Coronation Cottages. These 4 hours were built in 1902 and before. They are called Coronation Cottages because in 1902 Edward VII had his coronation after Queen Victoria died in 1901. The coronation however, was originally delayed due to the King having an appendicitus the day before the planned coronation. In those days I believe houses like ours were built together, the 1st being completed and then the family of the builder moving in there whilst the 2nd was built. The family moved again and the 3rd was started. Although they look the same from the outside it was a tradition to change individual characteristics inside. The 1911 census has now been released so I am going to see (with the 1901 census) who lived in these houses and what they did. Hope you enjoy the history from my little part of the world. Jan

Outside and Inside. PoliXena

I live in front of a lovely -not too big- square wich is very nice. I have a great view of it from my living-room and also from my terrace. It´s quite old and there are only ten buildings or so around it, one of them is mine.

I live on the second floor and I can almost touch the wonderful tree wich grows up there. (In fact, there are three: one on my side and two on the opposite side)

It is a big -and strong- Indian Laurel and it´s really beautiful. It´s such a pleasure to rise the blinds and look at it and hear all the tiny birds wich live there... and the light is fantastic. Have a nice day, X. xxxx

Morning Tea from ♥petaliferous♥

Good morning girls!! thought you might like to reward yourselves and have a chocolate chip cookie! I made them yesterday and used a new recipe, they are very scrumptious!! Enjoy, and have a wonderful day :) Bri xox (♥petaliferous♥)

Japanese Crafting Magazine

Just wanted to show MingMing the magazine where i got the pattern for my bag from. Winter is just starting here in South America. I just gets down to -2 Celsius here, but its to cold to go around the house in flip-flips, so i wear woolen slippers.

My treasures...Ann

Hi girls...I would like to show you some of my treasures...I have a few small cupboards in my room and I put memorabilia on them.

On this one there are memorabilia from my family...the picture in front is my dad when he was a little boy...its very special to me because he died almost 7 years ago. There are also his glasses from the time he was a teenager.

There is a pocketknife from my granddad, very old jewelry from both my grandmothers and the little christmas sheep also from my grandmother...it hardly has any fur left.

The buddha is a lighter from my granddad and at the back there is his royal medal of honor. Also a very thin and small Japanese screen to put around a tea light and the pic in the back is my mom at age 18 reading a book :) The little doll which is hanging at the pic I brought home from a trip to Romania. 

The two white stone pipes I used to blow bubbles with them when I was a little girl (a looooooooooooooong time ago ;) )

I moved a lot of times but these are the first things I unpack and put in place...after I've done that I feel at home.  

Crafts

Hello everybody online today! I just looked at Cris's crafted jewelry, and i love it. So i decided to show some of my crafts. I love to sew, not only clothing, but patchwork quilts too. So the first pic is a mini quilted wall hanging. It's only 18 x 21 inches. (Very tiny pieces of material in there!) The second pic is a handbag i've sewn. The pattern was in a japanese magazine, but it had wonderful diagrams to work with, as i don't read or speak japanese. You might not be able to see it, but it has a little owl dangling on a leather cord.

The last picture is of slippers that i knit. Even in Paraguay it gets cold in winter, and the tile floors chilly, so i like to knit these and give them as birthday presents. Have a great crafty week! By Brendasue

Do you want this? --- MingMing

Yum!! This is the dessert I had at a cafe on Sunday.

French Toast + berries + Vanilla icecream on the plate.

I usually don't eat those sweet dessert, but this is one of an exception.

Oh, Now I'll show you my angel, Cris.


You've collected angels, so this is the one I wanted to show you:)


My mom bought it when we went to Hawaii.


She is holding a pineapple. Isn't it cute?

Fancy dress - jangold

Morning Girls - here's a picture of me as Frenchie one of the Pink Ladies from Grease at a fancy dress party on Sunday.

Sandy kindly agreed to pose for the picture as well - I think she is a real natural for the part - whereas hardly anything is natural about me !

Oh well that's a beauty school drop out for you !

Hope you're all having a great week !

Hugs Jan xxx

My jewrelry - Cris

I make jewrelry, for many years I sold for friends and stores.
Bracelets are my favorite piece, this is in cristal.

This one is in strass and beads.... ... and this is in wood.

I´m thinking in re doing, because it is one thing that relaxes me a lot.

Everyday objects - Trinket boxes

I've just started a collection of trinket boxes...and these are some of them. Actually I don't buy them, they were gifts from friends and relatives from their travels. ~ imgreatgal

Spoil Yourself Monday

Today is our day to buy a little treat or do something nice for ourselves. I was going to have pancakes and whipped cream but just never got around to making them. Instead, I bought these 3 little painted watering cans from the dollar store. They were only $2 each so it was NOT a huge expense. They make me so happy when I look out of my kitchen window and see the bright colors and cheerful little decorations. ! - gwyneth

The way the collages are done back home. PoliXena

These are some photos of the wall of my mother´s bedroom. She has made a sort of collage using some of the cards that we (her closest family and friends) have sent her during last years.

Actually, it´s a work in progress because she continues adding things. There are Christmas cards, birthday cards, some photos, cards from our travels, tiny gifts etc.



She started years ago with a few pieces but now she has covered almost the whole wall. She is 84 years old (I´m her youngest daughter, and I have for sisters and two brothers much older than me) and she has always done things like this... she has a nice creative energy, I hope it lasts many years more. Have a nice week dear friends. Good night X. xxxx
