Tea time chats.


Hello to everyone who calls in to see me today.
Its Tuesday and its T day over at

where we are always made very welcome with a drinks related post.



I think I am going to enjoy using these
Prima ... Words you need pieces.
 this one  I can relate to,  as  each week a friend and myself sit and drink tea, putting to world to rights and enjoying a  good chatter.
 Our husbands often ask what we find to talk about , but we say that after  50 or so years of friendship, does it really matter. We are the family we chose for ourselves.

This page features a lot of yellow,  for the base layer, some random stamping
torn scraps of material and some flower die cuts. This gives me the opportunity to join the folk over at
and Rike's theme ... The Colour Yellow


So what else have I been up to this week
I decided I needed to make a couple of all purpose cards
and as the current Try it on Tuesdays theme is...... Powder your....
 this was where I found my cue for inspiration


Mr Fox was presiding over the  session which began like this....


A couple of the finished cards...


We also  took advantage of the brighter days we have been enjoying recently .
taking a trip to the coast where a few brave  folk were also out taking the sea air.
 It was bright even when the clouds were rolling in from the sea  but, it was still very cold.
Our destination was  see  a little of the  coast beside St Mary's Lighthouse.
Another area about  20 miles from where we live


Looking North


Getting Closer to the Island, the tide was coming in.



This last photo  from the north of the lighthouse
 shows how the weather was changing later  in the morning.
The tide had  come in , cutting the island from the mainland.

Thank you all for calling in, I hope you have a good day.

I seem to be having problems leaving comments on some of my blog friends blogs ,
 some of the words I have typed  are missing from my  comment.
Apologies , I haven't a clue how this is happening  or what to do.
Any ideas would be welcome.

  3. Your latest entry for Rike's theme at Art Journal Journey is charming, and oh so appropriate. I agree that when my foodie friend Sally and I get together, we also talk about setting the world right. I agree that if you have a friend who feels like family, you can always find things to discuss. This is another incredible entry you shared with us at Art Journal Journey, dear Yvonne.

    I LOVE your fox. He is fabulous. Very stately in fact. I'd be happy just staring at that mug, but having a warm drink in it would make it even better. I'm loving your latest cards. They are breathtaking, and the embossing is even better. Thanks for sharing your art, your cards, and Mr. Fox with us for T this Tuesday.

  4. Your journal page is lovely. The muted yellows and die cuts are elegant together.

    I agree, it doesn't always matter what you are discussing as long as you enjoy each others company.

    A beautiful lighthouse in a gorgeous setting.

    Happy Tea Day,
    Kate

  5. The cards you have made are gorgeous, and I love the piece with the picture of the people sitting outside having a drink. That's something I love to do, too. The fox mug is soooooo lovely, it must make the drink very special. Have a happy T Day, hugs, Valerie

You never fail to amaze me with your art Yvonne!I love this delicate flowers and the fabric layers- all goes perfectly together on this page!

  9. Such beautiful cards you've created and the page is lovely, I like the saying on it, sums up the page perfectly.
    It's great to have coffee and chat with friends, one conversation just leads on to the next one, then you realise how the time has flown, in a good way.
    Enjoy your week

  11. I love that image of the women "wasting time." You showcased it beautifully on the yellow background. How wonderful to have a long-time friend like that who you get to see so frequently.

    Your cards are gorgeous! I love the soft Brusho backgrounds.

    Happy T-day! Eileen xx

  14. This is a gorgeous mixed media page with a nice photo of the chatting ladies (friends always have something to chat equally how long they know themselves), wonderful fabric pieces with a pattern that fits perfect to the flowers! Thank you so much for another fantastic entry to my theme at AJJ!
    This fox on the cup is lovely while watching you ...
    Beautiful photos of a great landscape!

  15. Oh dear I hope my blog isn't treating you badly! No one has complained to me and I have no clue...except the Moo Mania blog was doing that to my comments I had to leave because the linky would not work for me. I remember that not everything I'd typed got posted! At any rate, I love your yellow page and love the idea behind it. And those delicate and lovely roses cards are gorgeous. Sounds like it was a fun trip to the lighthouse, too! xxo

  18. I think most women can identify with the 'wasting time' with a best friend. I like the setting you put it in too, all those beautiful yellows.
    Those rose cards are very pretty. I'm sure whoever receives them will be very pleased.
    I enjoyed the walk along the coast from my armchair. No chilly wind! It certainly is a beautiful place.
    Happy belated T-Day,
    Lisca

  19. That is a lovely illustration of friendship. It looks good with the background of pale yellow. I often wonder myself what we talk about with friends as we can chat non-stop for hours.
    Lovely to see your photographs of the beach. It's chilly and misty here today after weeks of ridiculously warm weather.
    As for the comments problem, one blogger said she solved this problem by changing her browser to Chrome.

  20. Yellow was a fun color for February, and your art is beautiful. Yes, I can relate to "wasting" time with a good friend.
    I enjoyed the photos of the light house, they have always fascinated me.
    Sorry about the late re-visit for T-day.
