Friday smile

 This is the rainbow that greeted me on Monday afternoon - it certainly made me smile!
I hope it does the same for you too.


Now, you may remember two weeks ago I had a cheeky pheasant peeking through my kitchen door.
Then last week she was sitting on my hedge peeping at me again.
Well look carefully below......
 This is what G found when he was raking leaves in our flower border beside the front drive.
A nest made of dry leaves with 5 beige eggs inside.
I think they must belong to the nosey pheasant.
They were cold so we assumed she had left them.

A few minutes later we saw Mr Pheasant proudly strutting across the lawn.
 And then after lunch G noticed the female was sitting on her nest!
Can you see her speckled feathers in the middle of this pic?
I shall be watching closely to see what happens.
I know they are silly birds and doubt the eggs will hatch - it's such an open "public" spot.
Watch this space.

I am sure Annie will have more smiles for you over on her blog today so pop over to "A stitch in time"
and join in the fun.

Thanks for calling.

Friday smile and finished by Friday

 Firstly my "Finished by Friday" items...
Two draught excluders in my latest colour combos.
Annie's neighbour wanted one is this colour combo so I made two as I thought they looked really smart.

Then, of course little P. really loved her sister's little bag so I made one for her ready to post today.
I think she will love this one.

 AND....
Following my pheasnt saga from last week....
She has now taken to sitting on top of my hedge and peering at me!!!



 I don't think pheasants nest in bushes so I am quite interested to know just what she thinks she is doing - maybe she is just having a good old nosey round!

Have a great weekend and if you want to join in with the Friday Smile -
then pop over to Annie's A Stitch in time blog - guaranteed to make you smile.

Friday Smile and Finished by Friday!

 Good morning all!

Check this nosey visitor on my doorstep- she kept peeking in through my kitchen door yesterday.

I was busy at my table facing the door and noticed this female pheasant. She seemed to be peeping in at me and was there for ages. I think she could see her relection and probably thought she had a competitor for the handsome male pheasant that frequents our garden.

I love my garden birds.
 For those of you who popped into my WOYWW post....

I did it!!! As I mentioned, I was just shortening M's dress and was a bit anxious to get it right.
Anyway, with a bit of practice and a steady hand on the machine, I think I have mastered it.
I was going to post a pic but decided not to - what a tease!
I just hope it's right when she tries it on again.

Thanks for calling.
If you want a real giggle today, then pop over to see Annie's post on "A Stitch in time".
I think the term "in the groove" is what we oldies would have called it.!!!
