SMATCHES BUT NOT A FAN

Do you ever have "heavy sigh" days? Cuz' that's what I'm having today. Not for any particular reason, it just seems like at least 3 times an hour I give out the big ol' "I'm just sick of life" sigh.  I think I just want to go home. lol

My little feathered friends were disappointing last night. I had a couple of them come and eat, but nobody perched, and they didn't get all crazy and playful like I was hoping. Maybe they weren't liking the heat. I'll try again tonight although if heat was the issue, tonight won't work very well because it's hotter than yesterday.

Lest you get confused, I am not complaining about the weather. Bring on the 90 degree weather!! It feels delightful! It is probs why I keep sighing though; because I'm not outside in it or laying in the pool.

Here's my fave video so far of my hummers :)  Watch how close my girl gets to my face. She always takes the time to check me out....makes me a little nervous how close she gets sometimes.
 
I decided to do a smatchy sponge gradient last night. I think I'm getting better at them, but I do not like this one so much.  It really does go with my shirt, though.
OPI Roadhouse Blues, Sinful Colors Shock and Awe sponge gradient
I'm a little shocked at how much better this looks in person. None of my pics did it justice at all. I went for my fave blurple of all time,
OPI Roadhouse Blues and then moved to Sinful Colors Shock and Awe and some unnamed Color Club. 

In person the SC Shock and Awe is really pretty, and that Color Club is much brighter than it shows here.  I know this because I'm holding my hand up next to the picture to compare it. So yeah....truth.

No post tomorrow. I was supposed to post this after work and then do my nails, but I fell asleep cuz' my tummers hurt. I didn't even go sit outside with the birdies.  Booooo

    1. There have been more than a few times when I've flinched, especially when several of them are getting crazy and zipping between my face and the dish.

  3. Amazing video!! You look so Zen sitting there so still and holding their dish of yummy nectar. I can't help but wonder how long and how many times you had to sit like that to earn their trust?? Just wonderful :)

    1. I actually had the feeding the very first time I tried it, but they come in much faster now. If I sit for 15 minutes, I'll usually get about 5-7 minutes of action.
