Hi Hetty here,

I am surprised today to be given the opportunity to play as I was such a naughty birdy on Wednesday.  (To anyone who hasn’t seen a picture – I bit mummy’s lip very hard).

However, I had to prepare myself for the Sunday Selfie

Preen, manicure and pose ……..

Below is the damaged I done – not proud of myself at all.  I was put on the naughty perch, no swings from daddy, no grapes or other treats until mummy came home from work.  I was so pleased to see her, bobbed up and down stretched wings out like kind of hug and I got my head scratched……forgiven at last!

Mummy still loves and adores me, I must behave better.

Peck! Peck!

Hi everyone,

The sun is now setting on a glorious autumn day and just wanted to share a picture of our garden in spring and autumn.

This is a rose planted on top of Ruffles (my first bird), who died at 12 years old.  I call it Ruffles Rose, the petals seem to lay neatly together like his feather did.  Sentimental I know.

Spring

This is a Canadian Maple Tree which we bought when I was dating my future husband.  I love how the leaves are a burnished red/brown colour fading into green and then in the autumn they glow from glorious yellow to gold and burnished orange.  Leaves are just as interesting as flowers.

Autumn

In the foreground you can see the cherry tree has already been cropped and in the background to the left of the photo you can see the Maple tree beginning to lose its golden leaves.  The chair is made from Hornbeam and came from the garden of Lady Bowes Lyon which my husband acquired when he was working there.  He made the chair himself.  I like to sit lengthways on it, (I just fit – not being very tall) and read a good book with a lovely cup of tea.

It’s not a large garden but it is our little bit of heaven!

Oh by the way Hetty is in my bad books – on Wednesday morning as I was preparing to go to work she managed to bite my lip – very sore now. (Normally I move quickly so she misses if she prepares to strike, which is not very often I must add, but maybe I caught her on a grouchy morning – we all have our bad days)

PS  I have forgiven her and we have shared some nice cuddles.

Got to love them!

Bye for now

Hi everybody, hope you had a delightful Friday!

We awoke to a full on foggy morning, signifying that Autumn was well and truly here, but as you will see from the photo below it turned into a beautiful sunny autumn day making one feel happy and glad to be outside.  Spring and Autumn are my favourite months.

Well today has been busy, my husband and I decided to bite the bullet and crop our silver birch tree, some bits had gone rotten and it was looking a little battered.  Below is the final result – we had five bags of leaves and branches which we have just taken to the local tip.  (It will grow new leaves – trust me).

The Pyracantha hedge is heavily berried, birds must be saving them for the hard winter ahead.

Satisfied and tired, bye for now.

Hi everyone,

Slowly getting there

That’s all for now

Bye

Hi everybody, Hetty here!

Today has been glorious, mummy went out for a little stroll in the autumn sunshine but when she came back we had our Sunday Fun day play time – took loads of photos of me – must love me lots.  Here is my good self – and I have been very good …….

cheek to cheek (posing again)

and

snuggled down in my favourite spot.  Must of dozed up because I needed a big yawn when I woke up

I do like my portrait. (Vanity again !!!)

Mummy also made me some new toys to play with – well actually I shred them and mummy rebuilds them.  Look at all the lovely colours!

Toy parts are from Northern Parrots, England.

Bye for now.

Hi everyone, just a quick post – I’ve not finished anything yet but we are making considerable progress with Lady Greensleeves, see below:-

It is going to be quite large when I’ve finished it.

Bye for now.

Hi everybody – hope you are having a lovely Sunday.  Bit gloomy today and getting autumnal – so having  a nice snuggly day with my mummy.  Back in her good books- by the way.

Getting quite good at the posing lark (vanity again).

Mummy says that I smell good.  stop it!

Not much to report on the sewing front, slowly but surely making progress with Lady Greensleeves , have nearly completed the Arabian Horse.

The sky is now completed and the sand dunes, have added the jewelled head piece down his face and most of the mane is completed.

I am toying with the idea of making some bohemian type placemats by using one of my frames as a loom.  Just an idea floating around my busy brain at the moment – I will keep you posted.

Bye for now.

Hi everyone, Hetty here,

I am in mummy’s bad books, I bit here hard, didn’t let go.  Tears and blood.  Bad Birdy!!!

Just woke up in a bad mood.  I am eating humble pie.

However, mummy has forgiven me and we had our normal Sunday Funday.

Many cuddles and snuggles and posing for pictures.

What more can a bird do!

Peck Peck!!!!!

Well as you can see I have made a little progress with this project, you can really see how the horse is going to be.  Her hair is the only really standout colour against the greens and greys.

Sadly, nothing else to report this month.

Hi every body, its a nice day and I’m having fun playing games with my human mummy, firstly where’s my head gone?

He He here it is!!!

Secondly, hide and seek and peek a boo altogether

Oh, you found me.

Bet you can’t do this though

Bat Bird

Ah well, I’m tired now – let me sleep in my cage.

Bye!
