Hi Everybody!
Today is another busy blog Tuesday, so I'd better get started
right away. At TIOT we are starting a new challenge
🐤-Feathered Friends-🐦
As always, you have 2 weeks to link up to us, and projects of all
formats are welcome.
I made two birds from old book paper, gave them wings
made from black tissue and added some feathers
and googly eyes as embellishments. They flew all
over my living room and looked at everything:

Last week I baked 2 large fruit crumbles to take to the clinic
on my last day, one with sour cherries:
on my last day, one with sour cherries:
and one with mixed, fresh fruits - enjoy! I like to serve them warm,
with vanilla ice and whipped cream:
And coffee is being served, although I do have lots of different
tea-bags on offer!
On Thursday and Friday we had changeable
and stormy weather, but a nice sunrise:
Met this snail on a garden wall:
And I never knew there were poppies in this colour!
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Valerie! I love, love, love those birds!!! I must make some...so cute 🐦
ReplyDeleteNow I need some of that delicious looking fruit crumble with whipped cream and coffee please...tea a bit later with my second helping while I take another peek at your fantastic photos!!!
Big Hugs 💝💕💝
Love the birds, so pretty, but the star of the show for me today is the cake. Both cakes look fantastic, yummy! I'll take mine with ice and cream, please, but I'd prefer tea! Lovely photos, too. The poppy is lovely. Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteOh your vintage text birdies brought smiles today they are so cute. Love your beautiful florals too.
ReplyDeleteHugs June x
Oh your birds are so adorable! I love them. Your baking looks so yummy. I've never seen poppies in that color either...
ReplyDeleteSweet birds you made! Your fruit crumble looks delicious, and purple poppies, wow!
ReplyDeleteYour little birds are fabulous and how delightful that they flew all over your living room to explore (grin!). The crumbles look delicious, I bet they were very gratefully received - wishing you a very Happy T Day! J :-)
ReplyDeleteo die Vögel sind ja so süss gebastelt und der Kuchen ist ja lecker der duftet bis zu mir hin!
ReplyDeleteDie Schnecke ist so schön und die Blümchen mit Regentropfen haben was beosnderes!
Ich wünsche dir eine gute Nacht udn träume schön!
Lieben Gruss Elke
Thank ou for the cake. Yummy. They look delish! What are sour cherries?
ReplyDeleteI love your little birds. They are sweet and I can imagine them hanging up. `
The poppies are beautiful. I have seen ppink poppies but around here they are always red. The clematis is beautiful too. What a lovely colour!
Happy T-day,
Lisca
adorable birds!! Got my post up but am waiting for the link to TIOT:) Fruit crumble with sour cherries, AND coffee-YES!! Beautiful sunrise as well as flowers. I have only ever seen the red poppies. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteWhat incredible birds. I like how they made themselves at home and flew to various nooks and crannies in your house. They are really adorable.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I have never seen a real poppy, except in pictures, so the pink ones really made me smile. I'm not a fan of snails, but I thought the photo was quite beautiful. Only you could make a snail look good.
You must have had help getting to the clinic with all the goodies you bestowed upon everyone the last day you were there. Those cakes are delicious looking and I really love how much you shared with the patients and staff. And of course, I would LOVE to join you for coffee.
Thanks for sharing these darling birds, your lovely photos of plants, the yummy looking cakes, and your coffee with us for T this Tuesday.
I needed help, so a fellow patient collected me and brought me home on that day, and helped me shop for the ingredients the day before!
DeleteThe snail photo is amazing! I also love the flower photos. There is something about flowers with water or dew on the petals that I think is just so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThose birds are awesome. I have a friend looking for something to do with old books and I am going to share this idea with her. So cool! Thanks for sharing. :)

Love those little birds. And the photos are wondrous as always.

Love your new header.
I adore your cheeky little birds - they certainly had a good look around! I love that electric blue clematis and you sky pics are wonderful! I would normally try to resist your treats but sour cherry crumble is too hard to ignore - just a little whipped cream with mine please - can't overdo the sugar too much…err does this count as part of my 5 day? (I think it's supposed to be 10 now but I meet that most days anyway) Happy T Day! Chrisx
ReplyDelete5 slices of cake a day? That sounds like a wonderful rule!
DeleteI have missed my visits to your blog :((
ReplyDeleteI adore your birds.............I'm not packing any of my craft and paint stuff until the day I have to leave....LOL!
I didn't know Poppies were in pastel colors!! Those are gorgeous...............of course I LOVE the sun rise!
Happy T-day
OH! I love your birds! I'll have to make one for my Zensical garden. The crumbles look delicious and with ice cream, too. What a wonderful hostess. I enjoyed a peek at your garden. A very pretty sunrise. Your clematis looks gorgeous. Mine took a hit in a bad weather a couple of Winters ago. Not sure if it will come back this year. Happy T Day

ReplyDeleteYour little birdies are adorable and they can just fly right on over to my place for a visit ♥ I'll take coffee with my desert please :) I usually have those poppies but I forgot to plant them this spring. They are annuals and I save a couple of pods to replant the next year. I'm looking at the pods in a vase on my desk right this minute. I wonder if it's too late ? Happy T Day my friend ♥
