Where's summer???

Oh my Bloggettes how depressing is this weather! Its absolutely pouring here - or coming down in stair rods, that might be a peculiar Yorkshire expression! Mind you it sums it up perfectly or another word which does that is vile! Bring back the sun.... PLEASE!!! So a thrilling day here in the rain, did I mention it was raining? My washing is in the dryer, because its raining, the cats mardy because he wants to go but because, did I mention its raining, doesn't want to go! He'll tried the back door, the front door, the conservatory and then them all again and is really disappointed because its raining at all of them!

So to cheer you up (I hope) I thought I'd show you a card I made using one of the new Gorguss Girls - I love this little plump fairy! She is just so cute. She is one of my favourites, well at the moment anyway.

She's been coloured with distress inks and H2O's so she has a subtle shimmery effect - naturally that doesn't show in my superb photography! ( You'll notice a lack of kitchen implements in the background lately sorry to everyone who liked to spot them!) I added a few flowers and punched leaves and was finished.


So now to really brighten your day a couple of photos of the girls!

This is little Tinker. She's having one of her favourite treats - an almond! You can see how she's holding it in her foot while she munches away. Her eyes are really half closed. A sign she's really really enjoying it, she also makes little 'Mmmmm' noises too.


Now you might remember the photos from the other day where Tinker was unpacking the shopping and Harry wouldn't help her? Well last night Harry was on laundry duty.

Now the things in the bottom of the basket were folded neatly! Harry decided though that they weren't folded to her strict specifications! It only took her a few moments to refold them!

'Right that's those sorted out properly - humans have no idea!'


So there you go anyone need a parrot to help them fold their laundry?

Weather was appauling here yesterday .. sun been shinning brightly today here in Cambs. :-)
My youngest is petrified of birds .. she goes into a cold sweat just seeing them, if they move then she totally freaks out.
So love your card .. the colouring is awesome. I hav't got round to using distress inks for colouring.
