Enjoying Summer Yet

Hello and what a wet morning we are having, thought i would pop on and share a photo with, you from this time last year,  walking to nursery this morning reminded me of being in the back garden and the sun was so hot that me and Holly had the pool out and umbrellas all over the garden for shade, (my back garden is a bit of a suntrap) and we had a mock Glastonbury, you will notice, most of the festivals have been cancelled this year due to some areas having a flood warning.  But we shouldn't let that stop us from having some fun still.

In between the rain and sun we did get some playtime though, but for today she gets to play indoors with her friends come on Summer get a move on.

Thanks for stopping by x

Sweet Summer

This time of year you always have some rain some shine but, no one cares, because we know summer is just around the corner, and that inspired me to design some thing simple and summery.  Using this Sweet Summer set from stampin up  i created this scene in early espresso ink, and coloured in using my watercolour brush, stampin up old olive and pumpkin pie ink, finished with a length of early espresso one eight inch stitched ribbon
