FFO, Smiles, Cats And ... Ack


This is for Nicole´s FFO and Gilenna - I hope to get the rest of FAT CHUNK #9 done today and can take it easy for two days!
Should´ve done that in watercolors but am to knackered for that.
Funny, though... the "mouth"pops out 3-D-like, kinda, huh? Maybe I picked the right medium after all...

For Annie´s Smiles:

And some... mix....


Like getting thrown back to 2008, that´s how I feel.
Brother saw how sick Ingo was and never cared.
I told no one here cause I needed to stay strong, take care, talk to docs....
But my Brother could´ve called or pop by to support me.
Especially since I was there for him so often.
Well, same now.
And Ingo... yes, most study-stuff I´ll never need, but without this I will not get my job back.
At least a friend and two potential teamleads are there who support me mentally. Kinda...

'Nough of that - we want to smile.


I´m no mum but I´d get the hiccups from laughing, too!




Please, if you are in a similar situation like I am... read it correct...
Irony... my study atm is Typo!


I try....




 
The series:
"Life in the slums of New York in the early 1900s
 

 Lower East Side
Many of these apartment buildings were located on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. 
The picture shows Delancey Street."
Very bleak...

Two more studies plus tests today and then I should´ve caught up.
The mentor didn´t answer, so maybe I missed three tests, but I have proof I contacted him
cause I didn´t find any questions!

I´m wishing you a happy Friday.

Yes, that mouth does look 3-D. The coin caught my eye. I have never seen one like that. What is it?

You have some real funnies today. That cat video had me in hysterics. I'm still laughing. When we had cats they never did anything that funny. And good luck. I hope you get your tests done so you can have a nice weekend ahead. hugs-Erika

Jeanie said...

Some fun things here! Hope they just didn't have the tests yet!

DVArtist said...

OOOHHHHH I love that mouth and teeth!!! I too hope all goes well for you. That sign is just not great. Really, if someone was having a hard time they might just give up. Thank you for sharing with FFO and have weekend.

Felix the Crafty Cat said...

Hi Iris, stay strong. Loving the funnies and thank you for your comments over at mine. Oh and yes the car is definitely female, hubby gives reasons for this but I dare not repeat them Lol! Happy weekend, hugs Angela X

CJ Kennedy said...

Good for you to get your stuff done and then have some time for yourself. The kitty thinking he's a tiger has the right idea.

MELODY JACOB said...

I really hope you manage to get that "fat chunk" done and can truly take it easy this weekend – you sound like you more than deserve it! That drawing for Nicole's FFO has such a cool, almost sculptural quality, it's really striking. And Annie's Smiles photos definitely delivered; that dog's face is just too much! I hear you on the family stuff, it's incredibly tough when support isn't there, but it's wonderful you have friends and colleagues who are rooting for you. Sending you strength for those last studies and tests, and a very happy, relaxing Friday.

I just shared a new post, I invite you to read and let me know what you think.

Mae Travels said...

It’s sad that you have to dwell on all the wrong things that have been done to you over the years, and that you are eaten away by the memories.
Good luck studying.

Bill said...

Good luck with the studying, Iris.

Christine said...

Cute art and thanks for the smiles!

Iris Flavia said...

To Kermit! I got server errors at yours and could not enter....I´ll try again :-)

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, Annie, I´ll keep fighting! x

Iris Flavia said...

I´ll find out next week, huhhhh....

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, funny how that mouth came out like that!!! To a great weekend - will finish studies hopefully today!

Iris Flavia said...

Angela, sad you don´t want to repeat your Hubby! Well, reckon maybe for the better, to me a car is male - though in German its an "it"...! Happy weekend and hugs x

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, I need to be a Lion!!!

Iris Flavia said...

Ingo told me there´s the tube on TV, so... I have to study today... thank you, this was a 15-minutes-sketch only! Thank you and I´ll hop over to you :-)

Iris Flavia said...

I try to be done. Ingo is happy with that. Friends you chose after all, so, let family go...

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, Bill.... I´ll need that till December, I think!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you and you´re welcome!
