We had a tiny bit of snow. Blooming Camelia and Magnolia in the garden. Lilys of the valley and tulips in lots of gardens. Most narcissus are gone. The frogs already making love for 3 weeks. What a noise, mostly in the night.

Our first together dog was a chinese shar-pei, named sheng-si means raw silk. When you stroke the coat feels soft, but when you move in the opposite direction it feels very rough. Next 2 dogs (Shar-Pei) had already a name. Then we got a english bulldog, her name is Vaya. Sounds good according to my wife. And reminds on Vaya con dios. Later a 2nd bulldog, named Bentley, we can not afford the car. so we named the dog.

I followed the lessons a tiny bit 🙂 Last week I had a very small operation. They placed a voice prosthesis after I had a laryngectomy in june last year. And after that I catched a nasty cold. So in very nearby future I start with making masks learned in this workshop. I looked now at the most beautiful works from you all.

I made at last a first start for the dutch month of March. In this case the echo-script did not do what I wanted, but in a few days I give it antoher go. I am a bit ill. A very bad cold. Bad for me because I have to breath through a hole in my neck, after laryngectomie. It's going better already, but it makes me very tired some days.

You're right. I had to stop then. I used the complete script/ Bit in doubt about removing text inside. The light blue bit but also some dark pieces. And I replaced the lady a bit. Saw anothe rmistake Januari I used more capitals in text. And removed it above the days.

Beautiful

The first Februari attempt. Carnival month starts on the 19th, is my wife's birthday too.

Revisited Januari and at last made first attempt for Februari (Months in dutch language). Can just place one image, very compressed too.

At last, my first attempt. Strangest month ever made for a calendar. Use the echo script and just a lonely tree, because it is still cold in January in the northern hemisphere The original file looks to big in size, was nearly 2 Mb So resized it till about 0,28 Mb

We used inkscape more for making svg files to use on black cat cougar cutting machine. There for it is very good.

Hi I am in. Take some time. But here I am.

I started playing with Vision FX. Uses some memory, but gave nice results. One minor thing is, when you choose one out of five, that's the only one you can Save. It is save and close. See screendump. Because you have to close the plugin, I tried it again with same image and prompt, but got other results than the first try. Typical AI programming !!! An dthere is no manual available, but we have the corel forum and there you can find a some explanations about the use of the sliders.

Oh we are lucky it is in standard programs collection by our cable- provider. But it is a commercial broadcaster here.

I see there is a canadian site of bbc first. The best were Unforgotten and Bluelights. https://bbcfirst.ca/

Instead We watch a lot of british detective series, through bbc-first. But also downtowm abbey. And some original dutch drama series.

Here they start with 3rd season dutch version of traitors. I admit I stopped following most of this kind of series after first version of big brother. In 1999. Only followed sometimes expeditie robinson, but after season 14 (2022) stopped also following it. Mostly in lot of that kind of series you see the same well known dutch actors, musicians etc. Again and again.

Good to see the different info. For me the Rulers/Guides good to read again. Do not use it much, therefore easily forget how and what.

My wife makes clothes for little ones, babies a.s.o. for a charity and uses leftovers from fabrics as fleece tricot and what she got from others. https://www.facebook.com/janet.snoek For our own grandkids (6 mnths and 4 years) she makes also lot of clothes, but then from fabrics she buy specially, mostly tricots.

In the chitchat (here) now I am a newcomer. In the alphabet game I am a Junior And already using PSP since version 3, very long time ago. ?

Yeh, you're right. Neat and clear.

Playing with Card 5 Just playing because the weather is cold and wet.

Did at last something with template 7
