Well....such a soggy Saturday. I really need to plant up the tubs on the patio, their new occupants are getting a bit 'leggy' in the greenhouse. Maybe I can nip outside between the rain showers. All the weeding I did a few weeks ago is looking like I just hadn't bothered and next doors chicken has taken a liking to my lily bulbs...I will have to do some re-planting there. Still, there's something about having a friendly chicken in the garden which is so soothing, and yes, I do talk to her..
Anyway, today's card is 'Rose and Felix' by the amazing Sylvia Zet over at Wee Stamps. Her images are just gorgeous! I think I have almost every one of her digi stamps and I wish the her normal 'rubber' stamps could be produced as digi's as well. The cardstock is from my stash, the backing paper and frame from my craft studio, the image is printed on watercolour cardstock and coloured with promarkers, the lovely flowers from wild orchid crafts of course and the double bow is just ribbon from my stash. Any extra swirls made with my cricut. Colin has made some bread for our sandwiches and I am sure he stood at the bottom of the stairs to let that wonderful scent drift up to me...like in the supermarket suddenly there is the lovely smell of fresh bread and everything stops!!! mmmm.... the kitchen is going to be very tempting this afternoon as I have already made some rock buns which are cool enough to eat. Do you think that one rock bun and one sandwich would be counteracted by some gardening in the rain? If I really dash about maybe I'll burn off some of the calories...why do calories taste so good?
