Tatty Teddy and Tits




Hi all, hope you are well the suns out here today
hurray not see it for a while, it's still windy though
can't have it all lol.

Kids break up for their half term today, it only seems like they have been back at school for five minutes since the last hols, not complaining though 
i don't need to get up so early.


My card today is made for a few challenges
Bearly Mine - Die cuts and Lace
Addicted to stamps - Pink and Brown
Crafts and Me - Gems and pearls




The papers are from the fabulous
summer lace range at Bearly mine.
I have used another of those fabby Tatty Teddy
stamps from do crafts, stamped in rich cocoa ink
and coloured with polychromos pencils.
I have stamped the edge with the
feather stamp form clarity, in Vintage photo
distress ink.
The sentiment is from LOTV also stamped in Vintage photo.
The lace i bought a few years ago from John Lewis
it's been in my cupboard never been used, stroked a 
few times, then put back away.
Anyway i have decided to start using everything,
my pile of stroking stash is getting bigger and basically
i need the space, there's always more to buy.
Pearls and gems from stash.
Oval nestability, tag Go create.



I don't know if you remember that i
mentioned that there were some Blue Tits 
showing a bit of interest in my bird box, well
the did nest and on Wednesday they fledged.
I've been trying to take a picture which is 
pretty hard as they stay well hidden but i saw 
one in the apple tree this morn, so with my long lens 
i managed to get a shot



 It's a bit blurry i had to take the picture from
inside the conservatory so i had window glare, then 
it was sat in the middle of the tree so struggled 
to get a good focus, but anyway this is the best piccy. 




This is mum or dad (can't tell the difference), grabbing
food off the feeder to feed it.
I didn't see them leave the nest i think i happened upon 
them just after they left, they were sat in the Elderflower tree next to the nest, tweeting away Feed me Feed me.


Hope you enjoyed that 
thanks for stopping by today
