Good morning peeps,
I've had a traumatic incident! I was attempting some colouring sat on the sofa when Diddy (cat) leaped right at me, so thinking he was just in one of his mad playful moods I told him off and told him to stop it, but he did it again, & again & again, he would not leave me alone. I must have been trying to fend him off for about half an hour before I spotted what the problem was, I only had a flipping locus on my top. OMG panic stations, I didn't know what to do so froze making a stupid whimpering noise before the brain finally kicked in & I swiped it off of me onto the rug & Diddly pounced & thankfully held the horrid creepy crawly under his paw until I got there with the tweezers. It must have jumped out onto me when I fed hubby's bearded dragons & I hadn't noticed, thank goodness for Diddly, if it had have crawled up into my wild curly hair I'd have been in real trouble trying to get it out lol.
Today is new challenge day at
& this week our challenge is
For this challenge I inked up one of my beautiful Special Tilda's, although they are all special to me :)
