Away today

Good Morning All

As this post goes out we should nearly be landing in UK to go and see Johns Mum and my Mum.
It is only a short visit and I have scheduled my posts.

Here are some Groovi cards I have made to send with swaps.

This one is matted onto a Pixie powder background I made

This one took a while as the lace border takes time and patience.
I added some flowers punched from the scraps of parchment I have left over.


I really like this one, bright and cheery.

***********
During the summer months I always have a swim when I have taken Rico for a walk in the morning.
On Tuesday whilst swimming I saw a small black thing moving on the surface of the water so I went over, thinking it may be a bird, but it was a bat.
 I got out of the pool and found a stone to try to get it out.
I put the stone under it and lifted it onto the side, hoping it would dry out and fly off.
I carried on with my swim and saw it again, thinking it had got into the water again,  but it was at the opposite end to where I had put it on the side.
So I swam off to have a look, got this one out onto the side.
Went back to see if the other one was still there and it was.
So I had a pair of wet and soggy bats. 



I moved them but it the shade of a large plant pot and kept checking on them through the day.
They were still alive at 9pm.
When I went for my swim on Wednesday morning they had gone so I presume they were waiting for darkness to fly off.
I,m so glad they have gone and didn't die.
I felt so happy.

    Glad you managed to rescue the bats Wendy, I would have freaked I'm afraid, they are creatures that scare me, so well done you.
    Your cards are all so beautiful, I love the delicate designs, I especially love your last one, the colours are gorgeous, Kate x

    What a great post, Wendy! First, I must say I am always WOWed by your patient diligence in the parchment techniques. They are inscrutably gorgeous and meticulously done. True labors of love. Thanks for sharing their softness with us. I can only imagine how elegant they must be in real life. So glad you get to visit your "mums" and have some special family time. And those pats! Gosh! So grateful you were able to rescue them. We used to have a large colony here, and I enjoyed watching them every night as the swooped in to eat the insects. But I have not seen a colony for a long time. Just a lone bat every now and then. Enjoy your visit! xx
