Melissa it was very bumpy you wouldn't have wanted a picnic _pale_ only up for about 35 mins

Marg

Flourgirl - Fantastic pics! - I have been showing OH - know what you mean about no picnic, 35 mins would be enough for me too although I do intend to go with DH one day when I'm feeling brave! Has that last pic got Padsters house on it?

PLM - Good to see you on here! I've commented.

Padster - Quite un-nerving how quickly birds can fly away - well done on getting them all back. I don't like it when they flap - they scare me! Yet the other week we were able to stroke owls at a local Birds of Prey society display & they seemed so fragile & delcate.

Dawnteabag - It's not cheating it's prioritising - we all have to do it occasionally. Enjoy your U2 concert & your holiday - where are you going?

I should say so dragonllew - it's beautiful (and mumsy in a good way)

Dragonflew - your card is lovely - I was going to attempt one of these - was it hard?? Your butterfly and flower looks really pretty!

Marg

Mumhug - don't do it! - just put them away for a while - as the nights draw in & Christmas approaches you'll probably get the urge to start again......

Gemma - my card is in progress - not the neatest stitching you'll ever see, but it's a start.

Dragonllew - Your card is fantastic, so intricate who couldn't fail to like it?

Thanks - we're off camping in South Wales for a week, then to Cardiff for bank holiday weekend, then to legoland. I'm taking my sisters boys with me too as she''s been posted abroad for a few months. Am sure we'll enjoy it when we get there but i find the whole holiday packing thing a nightmare especially lugging everything into my car.

Melissa and Dawn thanks for your comments always feel nervous when I take a card into work.
Melissa it was much easier to make than it looks these are the instructions I followed http://craftsbycarolyn.co.uk/projectsnew/cardellen/Trishuttercard.pdf
Mumhug I to think you should put your stuff away rather than sell it I'm sure you will get back into it again.
