Happy WOYWW #806

 Happy WOYWW every one....thought I'd better join in this week as it's Sarahs half year anniversary from taking over hosting WOYWW slot every week. Well done Sarah!  As always, these days, I'm up to my eyeballs in crafty rubbish creative stuff and haven't made anything, but just 'tried' to organise things, impossible, as there just isn't enough space. I'm thinking of adding three bins...one for 'throw away' one for 'keep', and one for 'charity or give away'....and maybe, and extra one for 'sell' (Won't happen though, will it?! No, most likely not...1000 to one chance)

The Very Top picture...at last there's not such a big heap on my normal craft space...that's coz it's all got dumped in the living room (and bedroom) to 'sort out' not on the ironing board this time, but on a wallpaper paste table...it doesn't take any weight though, so there's not much on it...

A lot of my 'sets' like this Alice one above, now live in these files, which I can keep in a ring-binder, there are a few stamp doubles.

A closer look at the worktop in the craftroom...nice to see I have a white top (leftover from a kitchen top years back) Well, have  a happy What's On Your Worktop Wednesday...Even though I've retired, I do have two dogs to take out this morning...plus a couple of weird visits to do....So, pop over to Sarahs Craft Shed and join in! Thank you for stopping by!

It's Wednesday, What's on your Worktop?? #801 #802, #803, #804,

 Happy WOYWW!? Well, there's nothing on my worktop that wasn't there last time I posted, as I've had no internet...well, it was there but for some reason my laptop couldn't find it! Meanwhile, I have been sorting out all my crafty trollies and wheely things, hoping I can get some order into my very chaotic messy crafty space...which of course, at the moment, has been for a few months now, taking up the whole of my bungalow... so...

   The above picture shows three of the trollies in the living room. Mostly papers in one, books to alter and play with, or make into glue books in another, plus all my paints (nearly) in the taller one, along with stuff to use on the Geliplates... All the papers and pages  and cut outs and coffee/tea stained papers etc, I've been saving, are in boxes in the bedroom, so I will be sorting them out next. 

 I've also been filling up my two small Tim Holtz  'District Market' binders with any TM scraps or simular papers I could find, making pockets and side tucks, not finished yet... Meanwhile... (back at the ranch)...

 ... who has an Air Fryer? (The above one was on sale but has gone back up again) I've been told to get one, seeing it's just me and I don't want to use the oven for just one thing. Most things I microwave. John was going to get one... but....he ran out of time, so didn't. I also need a new telly for the kitchen, as the one that's there now, has no picture, only sound...So apart from hedge cutting and mowing...binge watching You tube and Netflix, well, that's what I've been up to! Thank you for stopping by.

Tea stands for Tuesday, on a Wednesday

Hot Chocolate with fluffy milk

 

 Hello! Yes I need some Hot Chocolate with fluffy milk to calm me down! And yes, once more I've been off line for ages....and I mean off line. First my phone was doing weird things... then I decided to turn on my laptop, which I hadn't opened in a few weeks, to find it was on, in a panic and having a hissy fit too! Mouse wouldn't work (I'm hopeless with that finger swirly thing, I need a mouse) so the laptop, was telling me there was no internet connection. Odd. Well, anyway, as you can see, it's working now, took ages, so it's now time to catch up...

  

 First my moan of the week or the month, as the above no sugar tea/berry drink, which comes in all sorts of flavours, and in bottles too, is no longer going to be sold at my local Tescos. Did a bit of hunting around yesterday and found some at Waitrose,  and at a Tesco Express... dearer of course. So, Aldi stopped their  Cold Press drinks . Loads of different smoothies instead...but loads of sugar too.

 Showing one of  the Cold Press Drinks

  So I expect to go back to wizzing up my own again...

last weeks breakfast

I've added Jordans extra nutty, to my mixed up cereal now...more nuts, with oats... and there's one of the Smoothies in the picture too. Sorry there's no real Tea in this post for  Tea Stands for Tuesday, but if you pop over to Altered book Lover I'm sure you'll find some mugs! Sorry I'm sooo late!  Thank you for stopping by!

A Very Quick T stands for Tuesday!

 

 It's still Tuesday...so Happy T stands for Tuesday! Once more I have two four legged friends staying, having great fun (not me!) in all this rain! And Thursday, I'm off house/dog sitting but not for long....So, here's what I can add to T stands for Tuesday...my 'boring breakfast', as always...and now that I've found out that Aldi no longer sell my favourite Cold Press drink, I think I'll go back to making my own. Just have to use up what I've already bought from Tesco's...something simular, while it's half price, once it goes back to its real price, that'll be it!

What they did have in Aldi was a Milk Frother. Over the years I've had a few of them, they don't last long, so if I see one that's a bit cheaper than it normally is... it jumps into my basket! Yes, I know it looks like whipped cream, but it's milk (Hot Chocolate) ...lovely and frothy! I haven't any other drinks to show this week, so will wish you a very Happy T day!! Pop over to Elizabeth and Bleubeard and see more! Thank you for stopping by.

WHat's In Your Worktop WeDneSday #800!!!

 Yes! It's WOYWW #800!!! Can you believe it!? Above is how my worktop is now, today. I was going to try and 'do something crafty' but ran out of time! So, I'm showing you my very first WOYWW Desk from waaay back here!  in 2010/02/! when I used the bigger bedroom...I can't make the pictures any bigger, but you can see, my work top is just as messy!! In fact....there's a lot of the same stuff in these older pictures. Maybe it's time I had a VERY BIG clear out!

Then I found these pictures from 2011 when we made something to swap and I made "my craft room in a box"

I was quite chuffed with this make, 'specially adding that spider!

As you can see, it's still a messy craftroom...but super tiny! So!! pop over to Sarah's Craft Shed and see what everyone else has been up to!Happy 800th WOYWW!? Thank you for stopping by!

T stands for Tuesday, Taps, and a dickyTv,

 Morning, afternoon and evening! or....some time in the night. Forgot to post to Elizabeth and Bleubeard,  didn't I? Bit busy. Leaky taps, telly on the blink, sound but no picture...Rat attacks...but I won't go into that! And, four footed friends visiting. My normal fruit and veg drinks have been out of stock for ages again...I'll have to buy in bulk! I did go back to a  different MockingBird Raw Press... containing, Kiwi, Kale, Broccoli, Apple, plus vitamine C. And I did also whizzz up my own recipe, with added milled Flax Seeds, but forgot to take a picture, so.... Here's a couple of drinks sent from Sis in law, who's been away somewhere hot for the last two weeks...lucky devil!

Another 'T' I'm adding here is all about water, is my new tap fitting, the old one was leaking badly...and took me ages to get off the tap, so now, no more leaks!

The electrician came last week...and fitted an outside double plug, so I can reach the top of the garden with the electic mower. (The battery one doesn't like the rougher grass and the petrol one went to the tip months ago)  

 And of course I can use it for other things as well. I also wanted him to look at the pond, which keeps fusing, so hasn't run for months. If turned on to activate the water fall and pump, it lasts for about 30 seconds and the fusebox in the garage turns it off. In the end, I decided it wasn't worth it, and to leave it, but he said, 'Well, turn it on, and let me see,' Guess what?? It's now been on for over a week!! Which is why I bought the new tap thingy, as the water in the 'well' (an old dustbin) empties out quicker than the flow from the pond fills it up... so there's a cock and ball thingy, which opens up to allow extra water in when it is needed. The yellow hose above travels under ground to  the 'well' and the green hose is attached to the garden hose and is not switched on. 

We also had a village garden/house/garage sale, but I chickened out and had a wizzy-fit as most of the stuff was John's... so I packed it up and instead had a walk around the village and bought two baragins of the week, A long armed pruner plus saw attachment, still in its packaging for £8 (they're normanly about £50 new) and this four drawer little storage box for £3. Bargain! I might paint it later.

Two more pictures....one of the four pawed visitors...Rose.

 and the last of my Tomatoes...

Not a lot of tea but just 'time' doing stuff! Sorry I'm soooo late, pop over to Altered Book lover where you'll find proper crafty stuff! and join in! Thank you for stopping by!

It's Tuesday Again...and Time for T

 Morning everyone. Yes, I've been missing for ages, I had little furballs staying again and I just didn't have any time to blog or do anything else! ...but, they've gone now soooo... here's  my usual 'boring breakfast' and my fruit and veggies drinks, (no tea today) so I can join in with T stands for Tuesday!....Oops no! This is yesterday's breakfast! (how can I tell!?) I had a Crafty package arrive! (goodies inside) So fast forward to today's picture...

 Packet unpacked... slightly different fruit drinks with 'boring breakfast' this morning, so what was inside the packagae, amoung other things?? this ink pad shelving unit. It took me all day to put it together... No, it didn't, not really. There should've been some little screws, so, while I went out to help with some other furballs, I bought some wood glue... that wasn't needed after all, as after hunting in Hubbies garage/workshop, I found some tiny screws and it all went together quite well.  My next job is to finish naming and labelling all the inks.

Now, I know I'm a very messy crafter...everything's piled up in a heap everywhere, but I do like my inks to be named AND  the lids put on the right way round, so you can see the ink name on the lid, it mustn't be put on upside down or sideways! That's it for now, pop over to Altered Book lover, there's some puuuurfect cat mugs to see! Dentist tomorrow and then the electrcian is coming....Thursday? I'm helping with more furballs,  and Friday?? I think I might have time to do something else! Have a good week! Thank you for stopping by!

Its a Tuesday T Day and a Wednesday What's on Yours #797-again....

 Okay, I'm home from not being home. (House/Dog sitting) It's surprising how much stuff one takes with one for a two week stay at someone elses! I'm still unpacking. So!! Coz of werid internret goings on, and that my mouse wouldn't work for some reason. (I use a mouse, as that 'move around with your finger thing' never, and I mean, NEVER goes where I want it to) First, sorry for being so late and not getting round to every body and also freebie less...I will make up for it, at some point! Hello WOYWWers. Not much on my work top as I'm still unpacking stuff that you've already seen... but I did buy another trolly from Aldi at £7.99!!!.... (In black or white, but they've gone back to being 12.99 now) Still, if Hobby Craft ever have a half price sale on their lilac trollies, I'll be in there like a jackrabbit on speed! (or maybe not) I also did a bit of sorting out and put some of my Lawn Fawn dies in magnetic pockets and I've been playing with my blog background again...just wish blogger did something a little bit more exciting in purple that will fit! **My wish has been answered! I found how to make it purple!!! YAY! But I will keep changing it.

I can't miss T for Tuesday so, instead here's T for Thursday, coz it will be by the time I post this. (Elizabeth and Bleubeard hosting)  It's my last breakfast at my dog/house sitting. They'd sold out again of the ColdPress fruit, tea, veg drink, which I really love, so I tried this 'Mockingbird' one from Tesco's... bit dearer that the others...tastes??? o....k... I say slowly, but I won't be buying it again. Virgin juice, crafted with Mandarin, Lemon Balm,  Carrot, Ginger, Turmeric, and Orange...There's also a 'doggie with a Bone'  cup of tea and my usual 'Pains Au Chocolat' with extra Nuttella! And for all of you who said you love dipping a spoon into the Nutella jar....Me Too!! "Oh Yum" I even gave away a whole jar to my Grandkiddies to stop me from doing that! But...Tesco's had the larger jar on offer. 

Sunday (John's anniversary of passing way) I put this Heart shaped arrangement on his stone... it isn't real, as the deer eat any flowers put down. I thought it looked really pretty. I had lunch with family to wish John a 'miss you so much' toast with red wine and some champers. (Not me coz I had to drive home) Debbie bought the red wine as it was one of John's favourites.."It was sooo cheap, a bargain," she said...only....instead of a box of full bottles arriving, only tiny half bottles turned up... making them really very expensive! Debbs said, I bet John's up there in Heaven laughing!! And with that...I'll say, 'Thank you for stopping by!
