Happy T stands for Tuesday! And a belated St Patrick's Day!

Happy (belated)St Patrick's Day....I did try to wear my March 17th T shirt...but, once again, forgot!  So I'm wishing everyone a Happy T Stands for Tea Day Tuesday instead. Pop over to Alteredbooklover and join in! Above I've added one of my cards, from waaaay back just to prove I did used to make cards every single day...

I'm in my craftroom, keeping out of the way of the workmen, still very busy with my Kitchen. Most of the doors are on, the sink's in (with water, although he did nip the water pipe!) and a tap! Yay! Did the washing up last evening...Of course there's

a lot of papercups about, once containing coffee or tea...or even hot chocolate!

If I open the cupboard door at the moment, apart from workmens tools, I'd find more cups and elsewhere...the odd paint brush in a papercup...

 and then, there's always Cola...

Well, not much food and drink this week. My boring breakfast is near enough the same, but in the living room, as the breakfast bar has gone. In the background you can see 'some' of the kitchen stuff piled up-

 and guess whose arm that is on the TV? It's Ceri The Crafter's! I hope he doesn't mind!


One last picture, apart from going shopping with Daughter, and having a birthday meal with family (forgot to take pictures) I had some company over the weekend...Lola came to stay. She loves going out in the doggy pram...Don't forget to pop over to see what BleuBeard and Elizabeth have been up to! Thank you for stopping by!

Above I covered more boxes while I was away last week...and, I stencil inked one of my filos...or note books...I'll be back later with more pictures! Pop over to Sarah's Craft shed and join in!! Thank you for stopping by! Scroll down for an Easter Freebie!

At last!! Here's a FREEBIE! Even An Oldie.

 
Happy Birthday to me!! I know I haven't had time to draw anything for  ages,  and this popped up on my laptop. He has been a freebie years and years back when hundreds of people downloaded them, but I thought, it's nearly Easter, so why not add him again for those of you who didn't nab him last time. GO HERE to download, don't forget to show me what you do with
him! Happy Easter Card Making! Thank you for stoppong by!

T stands for Tuesday, a tear and tea,

 A quick post today, for Tea Stands for Tuesday. (and for once it is still Tuesday!)I'm still up to my eyes or even my nose in kitchen stuff in the living room, bedrooms hall....you get the picture! Nowhere really to go...so sneaking in here, (in my craft room)while the workmen are working, seemed a very good idea! My breakfast was just a bit of toast, with  cup of tea, and fruit juice, of course, as I was shooting off 

Duke having a dip in the river

early to visit Duke (past of a doggy package of Duke and Dexter) and to say good bye, very sad, very tearfull, but his owners really feel sad that, that time has come. He's in a lot of pain and there's nothing more the vets can do. Of course, when they saw me they (the dogs that is!) went crazy,  luckily I had plenty of doggy treats and their favourite chews with me.(for the dogs, not the owners!)

   Then later, I visited past cat customers, (Kittle) who remembered I love boxes, and had saved me one! I can see gold and pink papers on this one...and finally...
Update on the kitchen...fridgefreezer, dishwasher, washing machine plumbed in and working, still trying to workout how to 'wash quick but spin high!' The cooker's in too, I'll show you that tomorrow! Right, that's it! I'm still catching up on last weeks T for Tuesday, so see you later. Oh, and it's my birthday tomorrow! Another year older...Thank you for stopping by!

Late 4 last weeks WOYWW-But Here's Todays!!#822 PlusT for Tuesday too!

This is a bit of a mishmash post! as this was really last weeks WOYWW!? #821...but I forgot to post! So scrap that! I was in the mood for covering boxes...so I did! And there's a mug of hot chocolate so I can say 'hello' to T stands for Tuesday too!

I love how this little box turned out....next up...it's that yellow box's turn!
Here's the yellow wrap-around box covered in paper from Home Bargains I think.... It needs a bit more glue on those corners...doesn't it look so much better!
Salmon with salad
 Having a different breakfast on a little TV table with Tea drink. Even the bedrooms and the living room is filled with kitchen stuff....so no room at all! Below is dinner, with tea...I think I'm getting better at cooking! John used to make Hunter's Chicken loads of times...
 Hunters Chicken
 Below, I still had to cover this small washing tablets box (even though it was two o'clock in the morning)...It's been hanging around for ages. (Ceri The Crafter covered one some time last year and I was shouting, yay! I've done that already!) I'd already painted gold on all the corners) And as you can see, my craft room worktop is a lot clearer! So! Hopefully, some real craft may start again very soon! I wanted to join in with Ceri's #MixedMediaMarch25 Challenge but just didn't have the time... there was sooo much to move about...but I'm hoping to join the challenge... Late! Seeing I'm always late! No one will notice!
Washing liquid table box
   This is todays post!! Happy WOYWW!? #822! And Happy Late T for Tuesday too...I'm House/dog sitting AND they've started the kitchen! have I said that already??  It's being delivered either today or tomorrow! Everything's been smashed up! Or recycled if possible. Exciting! But at the same time, a little sad. The breakfast bar's gone... All my own work on those tiles!

What will I craft on and where will I have my breakfast?? When it's gone!?
NO more passing cups of tea through the the hatch... (and no cats, dogs or children, jumping through it either!! (that's another story!) I never did find a place to put my inks!! Once I bought that shelving unit, (seen on the left) it was too big to go back where I had it before...(Changes in the craft room needed!) And!! where am I going to put all my Cornish pots??
Here's the Plans, I'm having different tites though. Plus my Tea drink for T for Tuesday! So, I'll keep you posted about the kitchen...
hatch door gone!
 This will be the very first 'real' kitchen this bungalow has ever had! Before it was just bits of wood with doors hanging from them...
   John and I did our best, with a second-hand sink unit, and some secondhand cupboards...but it was all one big 'bodge' so I'm looking forward to the end result! More next week! Happy WOYWW! And Happy T day too! Thank you for stopping by!

Its A WOYWW!? Wednesday On A Thursday#820

 Hanging
 Happy WOYWW!? Morning Peoples! This post was set to go out ages ago, but I got sidetracked- but I have made something! I saw it being made over on  Youtube by Treasure Books, a little while back, another crafty crafter. She'll show you just how to make it! Very easy!What is it??? I'm calling it 'The continuing flip up, flip out, flip up  book!'

 using a magnetic clip on the fridge

I used only scraps of papers and card and added the belly band as well as the small brass coloured corners to the back board...

But what is it Lyn??? Patience my pretties! That front golden glittery topper piece was actually the inside of a rather ripped up envelope that a crafty friend sent me well over 15 years ago!! containing 'something.' (atcs I think) But I fell in love with the envelope and kept it...knowing it would be good for something one day! (Since typing this I've found some papers, almost the same) I used a stamp shape die to cut it out.
Here's the first page opened up. They all do this, getting bigger as you go up... I did have one page I glued wrong, but we won't mention that.


So there's loads of space to add notes and journaling. You could add this to your altered books or journal pages. (without the hard board backing)
You can see the pattern through the paper on this Pink Peticoat paper (remember them??)
Here's another one of their papers below...then I did a bit of inking and stenciling on the  next two as well.

You could add stamped words, or images or anything really.

I used a stencil on the inside of this one...

This is the back of the board, (not nessesary)  The papers for this came from a paper pad from Home Buys or Home Bargains, for £1:99, really bright colours with added gold. 

I've been sooo busy doing all kinds of things that I don't normally do, and just could not find time to post anything. I hope I haven't missed the Anniversary ATC swap! The Kitchen is going ahead the first week in March. (when I'm also House and dog sitting!) Lord knows where I'm going to put everything! Quite pleased with myself that I've got the fridge and freezer in the garage working  after two years! (touch wood!) so I can finally clear out the fridge freezer in the kitchen, which badly needs defrosting. (It'll probably need a snow plough!) Above, I needed some more work gloves.... more chumping to do in the garden. Now, would you believe-that double-sided paper with them, is the instuctions in 12 different languages, on how to use them!!! Hope you all are having a brilliant week so far! Happy Late WOYWW!? Thank you for stopping by!!

A Very Late T for Tuesday


Happy late T for Tuesday!  I know I've been away for ages, but 'things' happen! (Like, there's a new hole in the shed side of John's mancave letting in water. The new kitchen is starting in March, so I have to find somewhere to put all the kitchen stuff. And of course, the meter was moved from the inside to the outside...that took eight men...the diggerman, the soil removerman, the mover of the meter man, the reconecting meter man, the brick relayer man, and the barrier removeral men...Now the man that dug the hole, shoulda taken all the soil away, but he left some, so the men that came to relay the bricks had to wait an hour for them to return from another job, to take away the soil....oddly they used the brick layers wheel barrow....not their own...
Just a few drinks...

Any way! Above is a few of my usual boring drinks and breakfast...I'm sooo pleased with my little airfryer, at half price @ £16 from Aldi. Here I've tried sunny side up but probably left it in too long
And seeing my boring food is very much the same, I thought I'd add drinks and food from Daughter and family who are having a week in Copenhagen!
More food below....
 And lots more....they seem to be eating their way around Copenhagen!
Seeing I'm soooo late, that better be it for now. Catch you all later! Hope you all had a great T for TUESDAY!

WOYWW?
