Pixie Cottage Sketch

Hi, and welcome!

Okay....who pinched the rest of my week?  Just seems to have been Tuesday, yesterday, but hubby dragged me off to Church this morning, so it must be Sunday....so what happened to the rest of the week?

I remember going with Leigh-Anne to a fabric shop, to choose stuff for a rag quilt that we are making for a friend who is going to live in the US.......and I remember getting stung by a wasp....TWICE......on another day (more in a mo)........and had a doctor's appointment postponed on yet another day..........and did my share of lookin' after grand-kiddles.....and I know that Mam came home from her holiday in Cuba..........er........but don't really remember getting much of anything I really wanted to get done actually done!

And as for the WASP .......got out of the car and started to walk into Costco, and felt something sharp stick into my leg, just below the knee.....was wearing trousers......looked down to see what it was, and felt another very sharp something on my ankle....kicked off my shoe, which then flew across the store, narrowly missing a gi-normous TV, and pulled up my trouser leg just in time to see the ugliest wasp...ever!.....fly out!!

And please don't tell me....as my not-very-sympathetic hubby tried to....that a wasp can only sting once, and it dies......I have TWO red sting marks to prove that this is not true!

Gillian was with me, and actually pulled out the sting from my ankle, and then promptly stamped on the culprit, which was doin' a silly-dance on the floor.....I hope I poisened it!

I have never been stung by anything, not even nettles, in my whole life, and then to get a double-dose in one go.....now that's not fair......hmmphhh!

Breathe.........breathe........

Today's card was inspired by a sketch that I saw on thepixiecottage.blogspot.com.  I'm too late for the challenge, but liked the sketch, so used it anyway....lol......

Had visitors for most of the day, so this was yet another quick and simple one..........

Because it needed to be quick, I didn't want to do any colouring, so had a rummage in my stash and came up  with these elements, all from a Popcorn Bear kit that I've had for an age.......

How about these two ickle maties, then?  Popped 'em onto a backing layer, tied some paper ribbon, and gave 'em two soft fabric golden hearts.....aaawwww........oh, and the pretty button.........

These flowers are the only bits that didn't come with the kit.......inked 'em up,layered 'em up, and stuck 'em on........

Had this sentiment in my stash....just backed it with some of the gingham paper, and everything went up on popdots....told ya it was quick and simple....haaaa!

Hoping to get a bit longer to come up with something, tomorrow......please come back and see me!
