Hello there, I hope you are all doing well.
I'm thankfully lot more mobile than I was last week but maybe someone can tell me how it's possible to have a caught a cold when I haven't ventured out in weeks, if anything gets delivered like post or groceries, I wash my hands and sanitize each time... How is that possible? Another of life's mysteries.
I've a few more cards to share, though I feel more like hibernating than crafting lately, I'm longing for Spring. First up is a card for a blog friend who has been struggling with health issues and I'm hoping this will cheer her up a little
It's been so cold and we've see a few frosty mornings - Thankfully my next little bird was prepared for the ice...
...with her little skates
Whilst the paint flows beautifully on this, the shimmer is not that evident when it dries..
And as you can see it's still not really 'white' but I still like it.
Before I go I just want to say a big thank you for all the birthday cards I've received... I haven't opened any yet, I'm keeping them until tomorrow.
Stay safe and well and thank you for visiting me today
Till next time
~ Ros ~

These cards are so beautiful, the colors are superb.
Greetings,

Fantastic cards Ros - your sniffles have not stopped your wonderful creativity.
I smiled when I saw the robins and their footwear - we had several inches of snow up until today and I said that the birds needed wellies to keep their feet warm in the snow and a pair of ice skates for the bird bath! x
The first two cards are such fun Ros and the first one will surely uplift the recipient. Loving the composition of the third one and thanks for the information about the watercolour card x.
Many happy returns for tomorrow and I hope you enjoy your day and so glad that you are on the road to recovery from your fall x. Catching a cold is a mystery to me too Ros x.
Ah, I could look at your birds all day! They're such adorable little characters. I also love the collage look and colors of your third card. It's fun to try different mediums. I do love my Fabriano Extra White hot press watercolor paper. It's not as white as I'd expected, but looks nicely white against other colors. It's about the same color as SU Whisper White. I hope you continue to feel better, Ros. Rich and I both caught a lightweight bug in November. If we could catch that bug, then how are we protecting ourselves against COVID? Seems we could catch that, too. I just hope we can make it to the light at the end of the tunnel.
Oh Ros...I LOVE them all! You make those sweet little Robins so cheerful looking that they're bound to cheer up the recipients!! And I hope you have a happy, HAPPY BIRTHDAY tomorrow!! Hugs. :0)
wonderful selction of cards Ros, that little skating robin stole my heart :)
Just love your little bird cards, Ros! It sure puts a big smile on my face viewing your beautiful cards! Such darling hats, boots, and skates for the sweet birds! I hope you get to feeling better with each new day! And, wishing you a big happy birthday! Enjoy your special day, hugs!!
I always love your artwork - when I saw the first card I immediately thought "I come bringing peace" - the second card? "thank goodness I have wings!"
Well done Ros!!!!

Oh Ros you've done it again! I just LOVE seeing these little birdies! They bring an instant smile and I'm sure your card brought a huge smile to your friends face!! It just makes you 'Feel Better' right away! Hope YOU feel better today ... I've been having some congestion issues myself! COME ON SPRINGTIME!!! Big HUGS from OHIO!
I love your fun robins Ros and the first card will surely cheer your friend up and bring a smile to her face. I love the last using your new shimmery paints too and I know what you mean about trying to find a really white watercolour paper. The only one I have found up to now is Bristol Smooth which is about the same whiteness as the other card I use and it take the paint well, maybe not a s well as a more expensive watercolour paper. So pleased your are more mobile now and wishing you a very Happy Birthday and hope that you are enjoying your day. I hope your cold soon goes too. Getting a cold germ when you are at home and not near anyone with one is one of life's mysteries..lol. Take care! x
What fun little robins all dressed up so warm and ready for cold weather! They're sure to cheer everyone up! Your little collage is so pretty with the different colors and sweet designs!
Just love your sweet birds, Ros--makes me smile! The last card is amazing--modern & beautiful! Hope you had a Happy Birthday in spite of the isolation & having a cold! That is a mystery for sure & so glad we've been spared, so far. Hubby thought he was coming down with a cold, but turned out just to be a bad allergy day. Glad your mobility is improving. Sending hugs, Greta
Very Best Birthday Wishes Ros.... wishing you a wonderful day. Glad to hear your leg is improving and stay safe huge hugs Robyn
Ros, you cards are fabulous! Love those birds, really what's not to love about them, so whimsical, colourful and they just make me smile! And your artistic card is wonderful, wow Ros, you can create anything! You've got this! I know I've said this before, but what I truly love about your cards is all the detail you put into them, they always tell a story! Sorry for the late comment on this, I've stepped away from my computer for a couple of weeks, just for a break. I haven't even made any cards. I hope to get back at it this weekend. I also hope you are feeling much better. Take care of yourself Ros, and thanks for sharing your artwork with us, always a bright spot in my day! Hugs,
Your cards always brighten my day. I know that your first card will bright the day for your friend as well. Sweet bird holding a flower (LOVE the stairs!). Your ice skating bird is adorable. Your winter cards are fabulous. And what a cool, artsy card for your last. I see a bit of shimmer in the paints and the colours are beautiful. xx
Whoops..I missed this fun creative post, Ros. Love your sweet birds dressed in their Winter finery:-) Love your geometric watercolored shapes for your pretty watercolored painted images. You are so talented, my friend. Happy Birthday a little late. I am wishing you the perfect gift...staying healthy and creative. Love and Hugs..Nancy
More feathered cuties, I love them :-) And your first try with the new watercolors (and new paper?) turned out really well! Love those shapes and colors.
