Watch the birdies

The weather this week has been awesome.  A real Indian summer. I have been going up most day to the ponds in Beddington and feeding my sweet Dino babies (Egyptian geese). Apparently they don't migrate but obviously the males will most likely leave the brood soon. As soon as they see me they come walking up! Such an awesome sight.
Good morning Dinos!
They see my food for them. I buy the recommended RSPB swan/goose/duck food and they love it.

I have enjoyed some "me crafting"and made some makes with some new Lavinia stamps I recently bought. I take part in a monthly artist trading coin swap and decided to use the crow trio for this.
In their honour I made a set of crow (I don't have any Egyptian geese stamps, funny that!) coins.


I would like to enter my crow coins into the following challenges;


Lavinia world 1/3 anything goes
Papercraft challenges 2/3 no designer paper
Happy little stampers anything goes
Simon says Monday monochrome
C.R.A.F.T autumn weather
Cut it up 1/3 into the woods

I also made another set of 5 coins for Daisy, me and to put onto a couple of cards for Dotty's Teahouse, Carshalton, SM5 2AE where my cards are sold.

This time I used the darling Wallace family trio of hedgehogs. Here are 3 of the coins.
The last two I put onto cards. Below is one of the cards for sale.  Such cute hedgepig images.
I would like to enter my hedgehog card into the following challenges;

Penny Black and More 1/3 animals
Through the craft room door 2/3 anything goes
Crafty catz 1/3 anything goes/thank you

The weather forecast is telling us that tomorrow this gorgeous weather will break and autumn will arrive with some rain. I cannot complain, we brought the sunshine home from Rhodes and it has been such a bonus

Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely weekend,

Back soon,

Bye for now,
