For T Stands For Tuesday with Bleubeard and Elizabeth and friends:
Not long ago Bill and I went antiquing not to buy- just for fun- in an area we've been to many times before. And we decided to have an early dinner at McCooles Red Lion Inn which we also enjoy:
Not sure if you can click on it to make it larger to read...
They served us some pumpkin hummus and pita bread while waiting for our order. I never had pumpkin hummus before and it was pretty good.
We both had the crab cakes-a favorite of ours there along with roasted cauliflower and rice.
And of course hubby had to have dessert with his coffee:)
that chocolate cake was so rich and decadent-and he ate all but one bite! Special pose from him to your hubby Chris ;)
Speaking of Chris- I made a journal page for Art Journal Journey with the theme of '101 Ways To Keep Warm' hosted by Chris this month:
Not sure if I want to add words or not so this is it for now. Cozy thoughts of reading by candlelight. My page was inspired by another 'Painting With Jane' you tube video. I used acrylic paints, brushes and a palette knife.

I made one of my recent journal page paintings into cards:
and to those of you celebrating I wish you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving! Til next time...

I love that candle Linda. What a beautiful piece. Hope your great aunt is doing better soon so you can get some of your time back. I am having a small Thanksgiving too, just the hubby and me this year, but I am looking forward to this. No traveling, no time schedules. :) Hope you have a wonderful holiday and I do think your husband has a good idea eating all that cake. Happy T day. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteOh Linda ~ wonderful creations on your post ~ I love the candle the best I think but each one is special and so creative! Food looks yummy ~ love crab cakes ~ ^_^ ~ A special Happy Thanksgiving to you ^_^

My keyboard is having a PMS hissy fit today, and refuses to work much of the time. I would LOVE to leave you a personal message like you are used to from me, but it took nearly 30 minutes to write my last "real" message. Fortunately, my mouse still works well, so I can copy and paste this generic message to you. So, I will just wish all my U. S. friends a very happy Thanksgiving and EVERYONE a very happy T Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteNow that chocolate cake looks great. And I love the sound of pumpkin hummus, sounds very yummy. Lots of lovely art, I especially love the lovely musical tag, thanks for joining us at TT, much appreciated. Great candle painting, too, just beautiful. Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeletea good idea to make your paintings into Cards! the candle is so wonderful, you could print it, too!

It is a beautiful painting of the candle, I am so pleased you have added it to the new TioT's theme.
ReplyDeleteThe tag looks fantastic as well.
The crab cakes looked delicious and so did that yummy chocolate cake.
T day wishes and I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving day.

Lovely creations. The candle painting is beautiful and the tag would look pretty as an ornament on a tree. Dinner sounded wonderful and I'm drooling over that chocolate cake. And what a good sport your hubby is to pose for a picture. Have a Happy T Day and Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteLove the art today, especially the candle ♥ That food also looks fantastic!!!! I haven't had crabcakes in forever. :( Happy Thanksgiving! It will just be Bob and I on Thursday... my families big day is on Saturday and it will be different this year as Mom has finally turned over the cooking to my sister and I . ♥ We've been trying to take over for years but she pretty bullheaded. Thanks for stopping by my blog and for your kind wishes.
ReplyDeleteThe food the candle the chocolate!!!!! What a post Linda!! You are one busy woman and you carry it all beautifully!! Thanksgiving and Tea hugs!! deb

Fabulous job one the candle painting, Linda. I've never tried palette knife painting. And you squeezed in time for a lovely tag too. I hope your great aunt is doing better soon. It's so good of you to help out. You must be exhausted. Fun picture of your hubby. How does he stay so thin eating desserts like that?!
ReplyDeleteHappy T-day and Happy Thanksgiving! Hugs, Eileen
Yum, pumpkin hummus sounds delicious, and healthy too. If I ever come across any, I'll have to try it. Happy T-Day!

lovely warm page for AJJ and a beautiful Thanksgiving card. The food looks amazing this week.
ReplyDeleteLove the candle painting! Happy TG a bit late.
ReplyDeleteYou sound busy! It's good that you can still find time to do art. That candle is amazing. the whole piece has such a soft warm glow, and it makes me think of sitting in a comfortable chair with a good book in a small room in an old castle ... weird eh!? Hope you had a happy thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteYour tag is lovely, but I just love that candle. Great work.
ReplyDeleteI liked your tag but then I scrolled down and found your candle. Absolutely love it :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic texture on your candle!
ReplyDeleteyour blue pumpkin is awesome. I had carrot hummus the other day and it was awesome so then I thought... hmmmm I bet making hummus using other stuff would be awesome. I made mushy peas and added it to garlic hummus and it was so delish. The sweetness of the peas and the garlic hummus was really awesome. Visiting from PPF. Oh, I'm having a HUGE Christmas Giveaway on my site, the giveaway closes midnight Sunday night pacific time. Here's the link... http://justaddwatersilly.com/2017/11/21/christmas-giveaway/
ReplyDeleteCute and pretty tag, love the background and a soft look. Thank you for joining Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge this week!
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet little music tag, and beautiful art work! loved hubby's special pose for Chris' husband, lol... your hubby looks pretty pleased about the chocolate cake! hope your Thanksgiving was cozy and wonderful!♥

I've no idea how you manage to make all this gorgeous art as well as deal with all your Real Life activities. I really love the tag, the shape, the old-fashioned look and the muted choice of colours. It would make a great greetings card too. I also love the "simple" design of the candle which I know would not be at all simple to paint. I rather like it without words, just giving the idea of sitting and reading quietly by candlelight.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tag and lovely candle! Your art has wonderful ambiance.
ReplyDeleteGreat art and very happy hubby = perfect reason to post! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are such a wonderful blogger Linda! Always so much interesting items to share! Love your tag naturally and your Candle art painting is fantastic! You know I always make humous but have never heard of pumpkin humous! Is it a combination of chickpeas and pumpkin?
ReplyDeletexox Suzy
Beautiful candle painting Linda and love the Thanksgiving card too!! Pumpkin humus sounds different...I wonder if they still use chick peas as the base. Oh I see Suziqu asked the same thing. All the best to your Aunt I hope she's feeling better soon!! So sweet of you to help out!!
