Friday Fun Day with Smiles.

 Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week.

The stream in the park has dried up which is very unusual and quite worrying.

And the frogs have taken to the water in the pond filter box, lucky frog I say!

The grapes are getting bigger and starting to drop down with the weight but although there are lots of them....

and Alfie is  checking for falls it doesn't mean we'll get any that are edible.

We did get a few last year but they were quite small so we'll see.

The bees are enjoying the flowers and we've put water bowls out for them too.

The cygnets are growing well. 

We hadn't been in the park for a while so it was a surprise to see how big they are.

Very little sorting done in the cabin this week as I need to be in there early in the morning before it gets too warm but I did find this amongst the collection.

Thought you might like it.

Daisy and Alfie have been wearing their cooler coats, I could do with one of these myself actually!

Have a great weekend everyone and stay cool.

 Thanks for stopping by.

Leave me a comment and I'll pop over to see what you've been up to this week too.

Friday Fun day with Smiles.

Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.
Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week.

I've spent as much time as I could in the cabin this week to continue my sorting but the afternoons have been too hot so been doing some crafting in the house too.

The table look stidy here but not today!

There's still lots to do.

However it's been pond jobs this week too.

Hubby cleaning the filters.

If you keep Koi you have to keep the water in good condition.

We have two filters and this is the older one which is biological and open at the top which is why we often find visitors in there the other is a pressureised filter all closed easy to keep clean.

This is our usual visitor and very welcome as he eats some things that find there way into the filter.

I'm not sure weather this guy might be risking things a bit as frogs will eat snails and slugs.

This little guy is on guard under the filter box.

He's so cute.

Another visitor to the garden.

And finially my beautiful Hydrangers, so pretty.

Have a great weekend everyone and a cool one hopefully.

 Thanks for stopping by.

WOYWW - 888 - What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

     Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Hi Workdesk friends. 
We are here for another Wednesday at the Workdesk and here is:
"What's on my Workdesk this Wednesday".

If you don't know what this is all about then please visit Sarah's Craft Shed and our host Sarah will explain.

So here is my desk for today!

It's not very exciting as I'm busy in the cabin, it's time for a good sort out.

The card on the left that you can just see was one that I found when doing the clear out. It's Stampotique stamps, still got them but not used them for ages.

If you want to see more of the card there are several photos of it on my Monday post here: there's a bit more to it!

I received these gorgeous ATCs from Lyn (Syder), Joe, Annie and LLJan.

They are gorgeous thank you so much.

I'm not sure I should show you this as it's a bit scary but it has to be done. Too much stuff and not enough space.

There are some nice things in there but it's difficult to see them right now.

There's still lots to do. 

If I ever get it all sorted I'll let you know.

If I go missing send in the rescue squad!

So that's me done for today.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and visit the other desks.

 I'm off now to see what everyone else is up to.

Have a great woyww 

and 
happy crafting,

WOYWW - 792 - What's On your Workdesk Wednesday.

    Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Hi Workdesk friends. 
We are here for another Wednesday at the Workdesk and here is:
"What's on my Workdesk this Wednesday".

If you don't know what this is all about then please visit Sarah's Craft Shed and our host Sarah will explain.

So here is my desk for today!

It's a bit boring today as I'm just starting a Mini journal and got distracted with something else.


I know some of you wanted to see how I would use the papers I made last week and the full details are here below this post.

You might remember them.

And this was my distraction, needed to tidy up a bit in the cabin as I hope to start a resin project soon.

And just finished this project....

But I'm all tidy now.

So that's me done for today.

 Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and join in the visits around the other desks.

 I'm off now to see what everyone else is up to.

Have a great woyww 

and 
happy crafting,

Friday Fun Day

   Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week.

Ups and downs this week but I'm still here.

However......

The painting fairy has been 

 

which has made the cabin look like new again.

The inside has been getting plenty of use.

But mainly it's the garden today.

The flowrers are looking beautiful.

Hubbies favourites are the 

We have several of these all slightly different colours.

Next the most gorgeous rose and it smells beautiful too.

Fox Gloves, no idea where they come from but they look lovely.

The Bonsai are doing well but I think it's time for some repotting this year.

The fruit trees are looking good though the birds have been helping themselves again.

Apples doing well. 

The lack of frost helped them to maintain the buds.

Pears next, lots of them.

The birds don't seem so interested in these.

We even have some damsons this year.

Just hope we manage to keep some.

And a quick visit to the park where we saw these babies.

Not a brilliant photo as I took it at quite a distance with my phone. Four cygnets this year.

And funnies of course.

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

And if you would like some more smiles you just need to pop over to see what our other friends have been doing this week at Annie's for
"This Week's Smiles" and you can also share your  smiles too.

Friday Fun Day

   Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week.

Pond work. 

Filter cleaning and that's another job done.

Thanks to hubby!

I did buy him those nice long gloves especially for the job! Not sure he was too impressed at the gift until he started using them Lol!

These are the spongy bits from inside the filter that traps the waste stuff from the pond.

This type of filter only needs cleaning like this twise a year which I'm sure hubby is pleased about. 

You may remember this plant from last week and it's gradually opening and looks beautiful.

If you were around on Wednesday you will have seen this as I have spent some time in the cabin making ATCs.

With my little helpers.

Can you see the dog mat? it belongs in the cabin.....

and now it's in the garden!

Alfie might be little but when he gets it on him!

He's showing you how smart he is here, as if butter wouldn't melt!

I gave up trying to catch him and went for the dog biscuits. Every time I got near him he grabbed the mat and dragged it away. 

He was having a great time but can't resist a biscuit.

Funnies next I think.....

My two are going in the kennels soon.....

But don't think we'll need this as the kennel lady knows them well.

I would love all these but don't think it would go down well but it's true for sure except when someone's been eating stuff in the garden and decides to be sick and I will say no more than that.

One of Daisies favourite games...given half a chance that is!

She likes to catch you unaware and lick you nose. 

No idea why! 

Well that's not quite right, she like to get her tongue right up your nose! right up!

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

And if you would like some more smiles you just need to pop over to see what our other friends have been doing this week at Annie's for
