Insects

Hi Everyone! 

What great Heart tags last week! I am sorry I didn't get around to commenting on them.

I have been watching too much of the Winter Olympics! My favourite was the Ice Dance, it was fabulous!

Here in the Thames Valley, we have been having the most terrible weather, rain, rain and more rain, with a few gales thrown in for good measure. We live only a few minutes walk from the River Thames, but fortunately we are up on a hill. The river has spread all over the low lying ground, and is encroaching into urban areas. I really feel for those people who have been affected by the floods .

There is a glimmer of hope on the horizon, though, signs of Spring are beginning to appear. Lighter evenings and mornings, birdsong, snowdrops, crocuses and even daffodils are all signs of warmer (and let's hope, drier) weather.

I found a ladybird on my kitchen windowsill yesterday, and so I decided to make a ladybird tag.

It is a very simple one . I used printed  red card stock and buttons for the insect, then placed it onto a garden themed background, all set off with a spotty border.
