Bee Happy


 It's been a beautiful week this week- blue skies and lovely warm sunshine, perfect for enjoying the garden- and where was I? Outside watching the birds busily to -and -froing as they feed their growing chicks? Happily reading in my favourite garden chair? Enjoying the flowers and doing a little light weeding?...Not a bit of it!! Hubby decided the decking needed replacing so lots of mess and noise and dust- the garden was not a nice place to be in. So craftroom it was, much quieter in here! Marvin kept me company for some of the time but spent more of it 'helping ' with the new decking- much more fun! Lots of new places to hide his ball and plenty of opportunity to help himself to unguarded tools and gloves! 

I had plenty of time to do a bit of colouring, so a printed out a few older Mo Manning digis. I coloured this little cutie with my markers and made a circular card with it. The sweet little bees are a Lavinia stamp.

I'm hoping for some sunshine this weekend, the decking should be finished by Saturday, fingers crossed!

Thanks for visiting

Chris
