T Stands For....Tuesday and Not Cookies

 Happy T For Tuesday. Pop over to Altered Book Lover and find out why. Busy week for me, well...not busy busy just 'stuff that takes an age to do but has to be done,' busy. My craft room picture this week is...no...they aren't chocolate cookies... they'd be gone if they were! They're clay Gingerbred men... A little bit more orange paint mixed with the brown me thinks! Hopefully I will finish them off later today... (hmm, I'm kidding!) 

Those are accompanied by my latest Charity shop buy, a gingerbread man mug. Had to have it. 

Then I ran out of magazine holders to put my magazines in. Hubby was just about to crush a really nice chucky box his walking boots came in. "Hang on! No! That looks useful!'  His eyes rolled. "Thought I could get it out into the recycle bin before you noticed it!" (Really? I'm right on top of that Rose!*) So, after a bit of cutting and sticking down of paper and lots of glue, it now holds a few crafty magazines!  (going to add a lable tag later)

Picture. Early morning on the beach. Remembering when I was a dog walker and got up at silly o' clock every day in all weathers. I do miss it! And below, a park I used to visit with the dogs three of four times a week. Now, we often just wonder round for our 'daily exercise' with no dogs.

Our post box was feeling a little bit chilly this week! Someone had been very busy!

 

A lovely autumn scene of a squirrel, a hedgehog and leaves.

Meanwhile, Hubby put the old garage door to good use...  He grinded off the rust, bashed out the dents, welded up other bits, added wheels so it can fold right back and painted it (to match the carport now with wooden bi-fold doors) which he built in the 'real' lockdown. Now he has more covered space to play with his bikes! (No...I'm not saying anything...)

Halloween garden across from us... terrible terrific fun! This was last year... this years garden was even better, more bones and skulls and chains with sound effects; shame my photos were too dark.

Last Picture... Jinx had to have another visit to the Vets this week. More meds... but it doesn't stop him waking me up! 'Where's my Breakfast?' Hope you're having a Terrific Tuesday. Sorry for any smelling mistakes... I usually get all the right letters, but not necessarily in the right place! Nip over to Altered Book Lover for even more Tea for Tuesday. Thank you for stopping by.

  1. Fun post, Lyn! My cat used to wake me at 6 a.m. every day, she had no mercy! I thought they were real gingerbread men, pit. But the mug is fabulous! Have a great week, hugs, Valerie

  5. Magazine boxes -- that seems like so long ago! We hardly get anything in paper these days, and try to recycle after reading. Every space seems to fill up anyway.

  8. Love the clay gingerbread boys. They do look like chocolate. I love the gingerbread cup. I need one of those. Hope Jinx feels better soon. Glad he is still eating. When they quit eating it is time to worry. Hope you have a wonderful day. Edwina Brown

  10. This is a very gingerbread inspired day, isn't it? Great that you are making them but not to eat. And of course, I LOVE that new charity shop gingerbread mug. So cute.

    You and your husband are so good at recycling. I love how you find ways to make things instead of sending them to the recycling. Love your holder and your husband's new door.

    Of course, I love seeing Mr. Jinx and you with your selfie, too. Hope he is OK.

    Thanks for sharing your gingerbread decorations, your gingerbread mug, and your recycled items with us for T this Tuesday, dear Lyn.
