I used a photo taken in 1977. 

As it's not a good likeness, I might have a go with another photo

Flower of the Week

I didn't think I would be posting this week as I thought I would have visitors staying but unfortunately my brother in law had a fall and broke his replacement hip. We've had snow this week and you may think he slipped outdoors but no, it was indoors. I slipped twice today but managed to stay upright.

So have a good week and try to stay safe.

We stayed in a lovely cottage in Scotland for a few days. There were lots of nooks and crannies for the kids to hide.

The fungi is my 'Flower' of the week.

That's all for now, enjoy your week.

 

Remembering Cee

This is my post for the One-Day One-Photo challenge Marsha Ingrao and Dan Antion decided to organize to remember Cee Neuner whose birthday Marsha and Dan both share. She loved flowers and bridges.

Friday Face Off

Pumpkin carved by my son

I thought this set of keys looked like a dogs face with big floppy ears.

I've not done any painting this week, I've been busy sewing.

More English paper piecing and sewing up of my hare.

Skeleton leaves on a watercolour background. 

I've altered the leaves digitally of course to make them white.

I couldn't find anything about this church, possibly called St. Raphael at Chondros, Crete. The seats surrounding the church overlook the Portela Canyon.

The two photos below were taken in Heraklion, Crete

The beautiful blooms above the seats are my flower of the week.

[The photo challenge Flower of the Day is no more since Cee sadly died but I've decided to include a flower/leaf/berry of the week on my post]

That's it for today, enjoy your coming week.
