A look at what Lilian & I made this week

 




Good Sunday Morning Ladies,  

We had a lovely relaxing day yesterday,  just as Paul requested,  although I will say I find it impossible to sit and do nothing,  on holiday I read or do a crossword etc,  I sat for about 10 minutes, then got up and dead headed all of my pots, then wateted them,  we have some cabbage and sprout plants in troughs on the deck, waiting for corn/ courgettes to finish, they will then go in their place, anyway I have seen a few white butterflies around,  they had almost destroyed my Kale plants last week, they are netted but the butterfly laid her eggs on the netting,  the caterpillars then dropped onto kale!  Anyway they are usually easy to spot as they are a cluster of bright yellow eggs,  but they have got smart,  out on the deck they are landing on the soil and laying just one egg on each leaf, making them a lot harder to spot,  I cleared them off the little plants twice yesterday!  Paul's job today is netting over them!   Growing vegetables is one long battle,  to stop something eating them before you get the chance to !

Lilian's Description:

Hello , here is my piece for the challenge this week. It a page in my art journal.
Jo Rice did something similar on Pinterest, I just changed the stamps.
A mixture of stamps some from stamping up, and Lavinia stamps , the little flower stamps came from amazon. Lots of different colour inks blended together.

Oh I love this Lilian,  did you use one of those stamp wheels to get everything so perfectly lined up?  I love the Autumnal shades too, I have to say its my favourite season for colours.  

Thank you so much for sharing your lovely journal page with us and supporting the challenge XXX 

***************
I hope that you all have a lovely Sunday, 

Love and huge hugs to all of you, 

Sandra xxx
