Notice how I said, “whistler” and not “whisperer”. That’s because if one was to whisper the ladybugs probably couldn’t hear you. But Curt here is able to whistle rather loudly. By the looks of these ladybugs, they must have heard him all the way to Texas from Californie. hehe Confused once again, please go here …..continuing on….
Mutnik, thatÂ’s me, is the one that taught our Curt how to whistle using his two front hoofs. Took some doing, but he finally got it. Sort of like me way back when, I self taught myself to whistle using four fingers, two from each hand. One day I was sitting on the pot blowing and blowing and blowing when all of a sudden out came this whistle. And I have been whistling ever since.
I could whistle so loud, that my sis and cousin would take me when they went cruising down Main Street. I would whistle at all the boys, and then duck down in the back seat. hehe Those were the days. I have since learned to do it with two fingers on one handÂ…..a lot more convenient Â….Â….. now my card detailsÂ…..
Was looking through my many boxes of stamps and came across these lady bugs I didn’t even know I had. My sis had sent these to me a looooong time ago. So I stamped them on white cs panel, sketched in Curt and the flower stem and leaf. Colored with copics and added the “note” for the whistling part.
For the bg, I scorÂ’d the sidewalk for the ladybugs to walk on and the fence behind for the ladybugs and flower. Colored the bg with prisma pencils and gamsol and added a bow.
Well, thatÂ’s it for today. Hope you have enjoyed another Teapot Tuesday with CurtÂ…..TFL :0)

Those are the sweetest fuzzy looking bugs. Hey, is Curt giving lessons? I can whistle tunes the ordinary way, but try as I might I could never learn to whistle the way Curt is. Just like I could never snap my fingers.

Well I was wondering just how Curt was going to handle this particular teaparty..........I thought he might even have a lady bug costume on since you really can't anticipate just what he'll do. A whistling cow ?? well not !!!
He'll make Julie laugh.

Wow! Curt can whistle! Now it never stops amazing me at the many talents that Curt has! He needs to be on television on one of those talent shows. I'm sure he would win!

Your abilities are never ending. Here we are learning of your great whistling talent and how you taught (which is another talent) Curt to whistle. Bet he has whistled up a whole herd of ladybugs and menbugs by now.

Curt and the MOOdy Blues band, whistling the lady bug get well song. Awesome! Will he still be performing this weekend? I'd like tickets to the Saturday evening show if it isn't sold out.

Curt and the MOOdy Blues... now that's funny, and I'm not just whistling Dixie! Curt's weekly episodes remind me of Rocky and Bullwinkle and the Fractured Fairy Tales... you never know what to expect next! All I've got to say is KEEP EM' COMING!

Hey, can you teach me to do the two fingers on one hand whistle? I can do the two fingers on two hands but can't seem to get the on handed whistle! I suppose you are gonna make me buy some new product that will enhance my whistler to adapt to one hand.....Ha! This card is so funny! Hey, looky there...that one big ole heavy weight ladybug is stepping on Curt's hoof! Imagine that, he can whistle in pain! Snort! You are a goofball. For sure! Julie will be tickled by your Ladybugs and cow on this Tickle a Teapotter Tuesday!!

Well, Cathy, I think Curt looks like he might be struggling to get out a whistle as good as yours - hooves have to be harder than fingers to work, KWIM. For now it looks as though he has at least fooled the ladybugs into thinking HE is the best - Love your funny story and as always, your card as well is entertaining beyond belief! TFS!!
