πŸŽ¨πŸ˜‹ Thursday Art and Dinner Date: Matches πŸ”₯ πŸ”₯



Welcome my Friends, to Thursday's Art and Dinner Date! 😊😊

🎨For our 🎨 Art Date 🎨, today's optional prompt is Matches! Please feel free to share any art you've created, we would love to see it! Bugs seems a little down and out as he lights one his "Strike Anywhere" matches...must have been a dame! πŸ˜Š I drew this with charcoals. "We don't need no stinkin' matches!" - that's my silly sense of humour, anyone get it? 

 

I have nothing for our dinner date! I'm on an elimination diet to figure out what's up with my intestinal health. But I did manage to draw this striking match with pastels. I made the corners fancy with Photoshop! πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜Š



This is a great scene from the movie "For A Few Dollars More", directed by Sergio Leone. A "Spaghetti Western" because it was filmed in Italy. In this scene Lee Van Cleef strikes a match on one of the villains, played by Klaus Kinski. He lights his match on the guy's hunchback, stirring up trouble in the old Italian West! 


That's all for now folks! Please check out the link widget below for more 🎨 artistic πŸŽ¨ and πŸ˜‹ delicious πŸ˜‹ creations! See you soon!!! πŸ’—

Welcome my Friends, to Thursday's Art and Dinner Date! 😊😊


🎨For our 🎨 Art Date 🎨, today's optional prompt is Coffee Shop! Please feel free to share any art you've created, we would love to see it!

πŸŽ¨πŸ˜‹ Thursday Art and Dinner Date: Dance!

Welcome my Friends, to Thursday's Art and Dinner Date! 😊😊

🎨For our 🎨 Art Date 🎨, today's optional prompt is DANCE! Please feel free to share any art you've created, we would love to see it! Bugs Bunny is rockin' his track suit and doing a little break dancing! He makes the "handstand freeze" look easy! To be accurate, the style is called "breaking" or "b-boying".



I'm turning the clock back 40 years (yikes)...I went to Break Dance '84 with my friends. I was 16 and hung out with the breaking troop Mystic Crew. They competed in this and I think they won 3rd prize. It was SO MUCH FUN to watch these guys and gals breaking, spinning, freezing and popping! It's a very athletic and acrobatic dance style.


Here is my "Breaking Silhouette" painted with acrylics

I was very much into dancing in the 80's. I knew the "Thriller" dance by heart! I could also moonwalk. My friend Bertram from the Mystic Crew taught me the "arm wave", the "robot" and the "electric boogaloo", but I could never master the moves where you had to rely on arm strength. Weak wrists!!!

 

Time for a snack after all of that dancing. For our πŸ˜‹ Dinner Date!! πŸ˜‹ I made a very comforting and healthy Lentil Soup with Spinach. Click on the link for the written recipe and see below for the video recipe!


Jack and Raven


We got a little bit of snow on New Year's Eve but it's pretty much melted already. It feels like spring here in the Maritimes and I have to say I'm not hating it!



I'll be visiting your blogs this week my friends, I want to catch up on the TADD posts I've missed! And I want to thank those who sent me lovely holiday cards...it always warms my heart πŸ’što receive snaily mail! 🐌

Here are my latest videos:

πŸŽ¨πŸ˜‹ Thursday Art and Dinner Date: Word(s) for 2024

 


Welcome my Friends, to Thursday's Art and Dinner Date! 😊😊

🎨For our 🎨 Art Date 🎨, today's optional prompt is Word(s) for 2024! Please feel free to share any art you've created, we would love to see it! Bugs just wants to feel comfy and safe in his little rabbit hole and I wish that for him too!

I have chosen "Harmony At Home" as my phrase for 2024. I've lived through a few rocky years and I'm done with drama and conflict. My focus this year is on me, my growing business projects and peace at home! Life is too short for anything else!! πŸ’–



For our πŸ˜‹ Dinner Date!! πŸ˜‹ it's pizza pizza pizza!!! I live so far away from any restaurant that delivery doesn't exist...and by the time you get home, any take-out is cold. To add to the authenticity of the take-out experience, I bought some pizza boxes on Amazon!



It was a nice quiet holiday, though I lost power for 2 days around the 20th. Good thing it was mild outside. This fall I invested in a generator so at least I could have some hot food and plug in my modem. The outage gave me an opportunity to finally do my Looney Tunes puzzle!



The pets got gifts from Santa! Jack got a little Snoopy, Raven got a little Rottweiler. Jack is declining very quickly, he may not be with us much longer, but I will keep you all posted. πŸ’˜

πŸŽ¨πŸ˜‹ Thursday Art and Dinner Date: Christmas Lights

 





Welcome my Friends, to Thursday's Art and Dinner Date! 😊😊

🎨For our 🎨 Art Date 🎨, today's optional prompt is Christmas Lights! No wonder Granny didn't want to put the Christmas lights up herself!!! 😁 Please feel free to share any art you've created, we would love to see it!

 


For our πŸ˜‹ Dinner Date!! πŸ˜‹ I pulled out the waffle maker! These are really delicious. The only downside is that they get really soggy if you don't eat them right away, and it takes between 5-8 minutes for each one, so it's an "eating in shifts" type of meal! Still yummy though! I bought this a few years ago after reading Gigi's post about getting a waffle maker!!!



Many of you friends were right by my side when I was house-hunting from 2018-2020...when I lost the bid on a house in 2019...when I found and purchased my first home in 2020...when I had to move during the height of the Covid scare. Well, another dream of mine has finally come true. I have Christmas lights on my own home! This is a huge achievement for me and makes me so so happy!


Here are my latest videos:



⬆️⬆️ For Rain Frances Art : I'm sharing my short video, How To Draw Tim Allen from The Santa Clause.
