Above a nod to harvest as a child when it always seemed to spill over into September, unlike nowadays, farmers didn't have grain dryers and heat generators. Often it would be afternoon before combines got going as there was the inevitable delay of fixing new belts, it seemed a daily occurrence and a trip to Cambridge to source a new one. Poppies growing in the wheat (a stretch of imagination for September), Pheasants taking flight and numerous Rabbits darting in every direction.
The wheat is an old Hero Arts stamp embossed with gold and copper EP, Poppies
AALL and Create Papaver (395), Oxide sprays onto a lolly stick frame, Pheasants from A&C set by the same name (454) and a sentiment, it's years old so not certain of make. Lots of snippets on this, Poppies sentiment and Pheasants so think it should fit in OK at the
Snippets Playground. Here's my snippets....
My SS share is this splendid A&C Cockerel from Bright Dawn (925), I guess not officially an animal but we are taking a loose approach to the option. A masked and stamped panel to ground the Cockerels and a stencilled sunray background, so I figure it's early morning and the big fellow is blasting out his morning greeting.
One of our sitting hens once produced five male chicks from nine eggs, we didn't have the heart do what many would (dinner) so they all grew to produce a very riotous morning greeting, thank goodness we live in the middle of nowhere! But they were stubborn creatures and usually declined to go into the hen houses at night, so one by one the Fox took them out, save one who used to roost on Ben's back in his stable......until one day he fell off and Ben rolled!!
Added as lots have kindly enquired: Still slow going and today I'm off having another CT scan (yes NHS on a Sunday) ahead of going in again on 11th, but will try and catch up with some of you soon. Not a lot of crafting, although some new Witch stamps did kick start me last week and will share shortly.
