This Weeks Wednesday Freebie Taylor and Teddy Bear CLOSED

It was going to be two snow people... I drew them last year then couldn't remember if I'd already posted them at that time... so I did  Taylor The Teddy Bear instead. And then, another, his brother,  called Teddy or I might call him Trevor. Hope you like them, at least they're better than those swinging monkeys I did last week, I blame the cocoa.  A comment would be lovely! Thanks for stopping by! 

P.S WOYWW will be late...as I can't get in again!

 CLOSED

It's Time For T for Tuesday, Day

 It is Tuesday here, about half past Three in the morning, and all is quiet. Mr Jinx the cat, is snoring and my cup of Hot Chocolate, is cold and me? I'm still Tidying up.  Above is my said mug with Monkey on it who used to advertise PG Tips Tea. I got it from a Charity shop for £1.50 complete with Monkey wearing a fressing gown!  There's a spoon in it because I love to add a dollop of Nutella. I haven't bought Nutella since waaay before the Lockdown.  I wouldn't buy it because of the hoo-haa about Palm Oil. Orangutans, The Rain Forest, child labour and cancer, it's been staring at me every time I open the cupboard door, hubby bought it, it was on offer.

Here's my Tidying up... Any scraps I have usually get die cut. I lost the 'A' a few weeks back, it fell on the floor at my feet, and then, disappeared into another dimension before I could bend down and pick it up, so I was glad I had a few already cut out. 

 Before!

 The grandkiddies and been Tie dying again and...! Have some orders! 

After!

            I'll have to ask if they could do me one with a spiders-web!

 And then, left over from a post I did last week, we have The Tree.

 In the Hall at Home.

 I had a practice at home first, although the hall wall wasn't really long enough and they wanted it longer and not so wiggly...so continuing from last week.... here's the first bit of black paint on the orange wall...

The start of the tree
  T for Tree... it grew a bit bigger...

 A bit more...

Oliver supervising

 Almost finished

Well, it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaay past my bed time...in fact I'll be getting up soon!  So, have a Happy T for Tuesday and I'll see you later, over at  The Altered Book Lover!  It's night night from me... and night night from Mr Jinx! Bye For Now!

This Weeks Wednesday Freebie! It's Not Monkey Business! CLOSED!!

I think I might change it to Freebie Friday...It sounds better, what do you think!? I'm colouring in monkeys at the moment, so I thought I'd draw one or two!  They nearly changed into Penguins. And then I forgot their tails... so, who knows what they are! I might change them later...they haven't turned out as I wanted. And don't forget, The  Witch's Haunting Hunting Song freebie is still HERE. A comment would be lovely!! CLOSED!!

WOYWW? It's That Wednesday again!# 640

Left side of my worktop this morning

 First thing, I had to drag hubby out of bed to do 'his thing' No!...naughty naughty!! To do 'something to my laptop so I can get into 'Stamping Ground'  "You can do that!" came his reply. But my dyslexic brain has to see something new done a million times before it registers! Seconds later, I'm in!  But not before Hubby, fed, showered and now very happy, has gone off on his motor bike, complete with camera fixed to his helmet.  (He'll be gone all day) and I have a little black cat to go feed later, so please remind me if I'm still waffling on in an hour)

 middle of my worktop
 I'm in the middle of doing two birthday cards with funny folds and pop outs... 'Anyone can do these,  they're easy, they aren't as hard as they look...' said Sam on her You Tube video and repeated by me of very small brain as I tried to make them! It's taken me days! The right hand side pannel of the green card in front, has three bits of jungle paper covering it coz I run out... luckily all the bits left over fitted together really well, as uncle Ron would say, 'A blind man would like to see.'
The right of my worktop


On the other end of my workspace is where Normally the BigShot plus sits but my old BigShot is there, complete with piles of cardboard I use as shimmers... it won't cut anything now unless it has at least three or four bits of card.

Behind me
I've taken this picture because there's a space on the shelf behind me, and I can't think what is missing! I need to reoranise! There's discs here, on the shelf in containers and in a wooden cube, which I can no longer use as this new laptop has noway of playing them... my old laptop, who is two inches away, is saying, "I can, I can!" (show off!) I have to go, I have a litte black cat called Kittle to go and feed!  Thank you for stopping by. Have a fantastic WOYWW !

T For Tuesday, tree, and a nice treat.

It's T for Tuesday again.  Sorry I'm late! I thought I'd add this...Tree, in it's own post. I was comissioned waaaay back, just before covid, by my daughter's boss, to paint a black tree on their orange office wall.  I've been using the picture as a profile image, as I thought is was about time I added a more resent picture of me...even if it is a view from behind. (yes, I used to ride horses!) I can see it as my profile here as I type this, but usually when I leave a comment it goes back to the old Selfie Picture of Me and Him in Seattle years ago! when I had more hair! 
 This is what the tree looked like when finished and later everyone in the office added a black frame containing their thoughts, dreams and hopes. (I'll add more pictures when I can find them!)
 We went to the Bournemouth Air Show, where we had  booked to watch the show and have a lovely chicken or fish with pawns salad with a yummy pudding, followed later by cream tea. (Jam, clotted cream and scones and tea or coffee)  all on the beach, under  a  rather fabulous marquee. On entering we had some bubbly. (This picture  was taken at another time but it's the same bubbly!)

The Red Arrows preformed brilliantly! 
 
  Although later the show was halted after a small 'wingwalker' plane had to ditch into Poole Harbour!  Luckily no one was hurt!
   
Nice nosh! John with Bro and Sis in-law. Pat of course went into 'freeze' mode when I said 'smile'
And one last picture from Lady Pam's carer Helen... after making tea was washing up, and suddenly screamed!! She thought there was a squirrel in the washing up water! Happy T Day!!

This Weeks Wednesday Freebie CLOSED!

 
I added a little bit more to this one, But I am allowed!
Yes..I know, sorry I'm late... Jinx had another visit to the vets today...It takes us half an hour to get there and even longer today as they were removing the old bridge on the main road we take to get there. On the way back, I said, 'lets take the backway across the Forest'. I used to nip that way on my motorbike... those were the days! (I can't even get on one now!) It's really no more than a single track with tarmac...but of course, today, the whole world and his wife were doing the same thing...and some idiot, (sorry but honestly!!) was trying to get through towing a caravan... Hmmm....utter chaos! Anyway, you don't wanna know about all that! Here's the freebie... it was just going to be the cat in the pumpkin...but then all his friends showed up! 
A comment would be lovely! Thank you for stopping by! CLOSED



T stands for Tuesday This week and Last Week!

 I didn't make T for Tuesday last week, as there was a lot of to-ing and throwing going on...or should that be fro-ing... and this week I'm just very late. Anyway... Here's last weeks pictures with my cup of half empty not so hot Hot Chocolate and a birthday card I had started last week... gave up on and then started again. And here's this weeks pictures...

Here's The Birthday Cake. The card I was making was for Alan our neighbour who lives across from us. He has dove type pigeons and loves fishing, so of course they have to go on the cake! Inspite of that, it was very nice! Then there was the Christchchurch Food Festival which we nearly always go to.... we went, we saw, we walked very quickly (after watching the sheep entertainment) then quickly disappeared out the back way. Still not feeling happy in crowds of people all wondering about willy-nilly everywhere. 

We'd parked a mile or so away to give us our 'daily exercise' (John waving, still has his lockdown beard. Although it's now under control!)

  The walk takes us a long the river and round the back of The Christchurch Priory.

And after a visit to a crafty shop... back where we started in my craft room. Here's what I'm about to start on... with a cup of cold tea in the back ground.

I just love new papers...bet it takes me ages to make that first cut! Hope you had a happy Tuesday and an even better Thursday! Thanks for stopping by! Stay Safe!

WOYWW?
