Well its been mega busy as ever at Caique-Momma Towers. What with masses of baking but the most important news is that Her Highness Harry has been ill! Again! So we had a long trip to the vet last week - an hour and a half away! Why can't there be an Avian vet near us??? I hope any vets reading this will take note ;)) Then yesterday we had to take her back to the vets to be admitted for tests. My poor little chickster! In the vets without her pal Tinker and all on her lonesome.... Still the vet rang this morning and she's singing, shouting, talking and being busy charming all the staff. Oh there's a yelling competition going on with another parrot in there too. So a bit of love for Harry would be much appreciated peeps.
Here's the little chickster having a little snackarooney.

Now after our trip last week we called in a rather nice tea room at Gate Helmsley called The Balloon Tree, Harry of course came in as no way was I leaving her in the car! The staff were lovely and said it was no problem. Harry charmed them all and enjoyed a bit of toasted teacake and jam. As we came out a couple of 'full figured' ladies were bending over some plants.... Harry let out the LOUDEST BIGGEST wolf whistle she could! Said ladies stood up glowered and were just about to say something to the OM.... when I said 'sorry about that its Harry' ;)) Said ladies came over to say hello! Their faces were an absolute picture when they thought it was the OM whistling at them! I'm not altogether sure if they were disappointed or not.
Right! As I'm sure you all know that today is WOYWDW over at Julia's, so prepare for a shot of THE desk. Now I can assure you that there is one underneath all that cra... er stuff. I mean otherwise it would all be on the floor. That would be no good as believe me the floor is full too! You think I'm kidding? Well one day I might be brave and photo the floor and really shock you! Its a good job I'm tall so I can step over stuff ;))
So TAAAA-DARRRR if that's the right way to introduce such a tip.... maybe not but hey it proves its used and I mean how could I stage that! It would take me months lol Well it took me months to get it like that just by piling stuff up... So think how it would take me to do it and make it look so... so.... er.... so...er...er... natural!
As you can see there's a bit of... er stuff on there.
Oh and the card on there is for this weeks challenge over at Totally Gorjuss which wants a star on your work. I used them as a border and had to use a Lili of the Valley cutie. Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts natch ;)) Papers are from one of the new Dovecraft Christmas pads. The sentiment is from a QVC set from yonks ago. I must have had it several years and it had never been pulled off its plastic backing... ~blushes~ I mean I bet no one else has ever done that have they? Image has been Copic'd.
So hop over to Totally Gorjuss - there's a prize on offer for the player who is lucky enough to be picked. Which is a £10 spend at Crafters Companion - well worth having.
But the actual real best bit about this post is that today is not actually Wednesday! Its bloody TUESDAY! I blame this on a weekend of worry over me little chickster and that today I would normally play golf and I haven't, I had to have the heating on last night and its puddled my brain... Oh and in case anyone's wondering I'm a natural blonde!
