Beautiful Saturday


Gorgeous day here today - the sun is shining, it's not too hot or humid, just perfect.

Today, like most days part of my extended "family" came for a visit.

The "family" is a group of butcher birds. I have been feeding them for the last couple of years. I call them my birdy boys, well obviously they are not all boys because each year we get a new baby.

This little fellow, who I call my little boy, comes nearly every day and he/she is easily recognisable as one of his talons is missing on his right foot. He is so gentle with me he can take the tiniest skerrick of meat off the tip of my finger without getting my finger in the process.

I also have a couple of magpies visit too and when they come in for their next feed I'll take some pics.

Well, I need to go and make some more cards.

Have a nice morning/afternoon/night.

Well, I've finally done it...

Created my blog, that is. I've been thinking about it for a while now and decided that it would happen tonight.

I guess I'm using this as a tool primarily to promote my online shops on Madeit & Etsy, but as I also like to talk about things in general, this seems to be the way to do it these days.



This link will take you directly to my Etsy shop


I'm having trouble with the button link for my madeit shop, so here is the long link
www.madeit.com.au/charstreasures

At both sites you will find handmade crafts from artisans around the world, it's worth while having a browse around both sites to see the diversity in quality handmade items available to you.



Well, it's all a bit of learning curve so I'll attempt to add more tomorrow.
