Cards and crows!

I didn’t walk early today but did walk to Freeport and back later on. I went and checked the garden, we have a nest of bees under the eaves  utility room and the noise is quite loud when you ar near them. Getting a pictur against the light was hard.

Apparently they are tree bees and unite harmless, they certainly take no notice of me when I am near them. I walked up to Freeport and had a coffee before the shops opened. The craft course was good, making a “shaker card”, which I had never done before. A bit fiddly but they are fun.

I went to the bed store and ordered a four foot bed to be delivered next week, that will be lower and bigger, more room for the cat! Tina and I had tried to get an answer at a house with pieces of wood for sale outside, on the way home there was somebody in so I purchased two, one will be for a number plate for the front garden as delivery men have trouble finding us! The man kindly dropped them off for me as I was already laden.

I was laden because Mags’s mum and some other lovely ladies have been knitting the vests and hats for the ‘fish and chip babies’. One had also made a lovely baby shawl.

 

When I got home I noticed crows with a baby in the garden, as I  have mentioned both Tina and I love the crows. Little did I think that a bit later, hearing a commotion and much crow calling, I would be rescuing the baby from the greenhouse! That was a challenge as it was under one fo the benches and flapping frantically with the parents shrieking outside! But all was well and the cats weren’t around at the time.

I decided to make another shaker card as Mags had given me a spare blank card. I made the inner lining with thick card rather that two pieces of craft foam sheets.

Watching the football now, did manage to get all the watering done before it started.
