House dOg Sitting WOYWW #828 And A Tea For TUesday!

 Hello! Morning, afternoon! Sorry I haven't been around! Not enough hours in the day!! Happy WOYWW!? As for the coming up ATCs swap for the Anniversary, I'm definitely joining in with that!! I'm house/dog sitting for at least another week and a bit. So>>>not a lot of Crafty stuff done...although I have been stamping with a new stamp and die bug set by AALL &CREATE< which arrived in the week with other crafty stuff...and made a 'no cutting' box, hmmm yes...I nipped home on Monday and took dogs with me, to fill my garden waste bin...only to find out later, that I hadn't paid for this year...so they didn't take it....how mean!? It's still April after all....never mind, it's all  'bin' sorted out now. 

I really like the stamp and die set. The bugs are quite big. The only thing is, when you die cut them, the Fig number is a little too close, so on some of them and bits get cut off.... 

 
I'm joining in with Altered Book Lover's T For Tuesday with my cup of Ginger and Turmeric Oraganic Infusion...quite tasty. I've actually saved some of this tea in a jar...was going to show you that last week, and some T dying, but with the Kitchen still an on going and the dogs I ran out of time...

Lola in the sunroom in the pram

WELL, it's very hot in the sun room...so it's time to go do something else. And seeing I'm dog sitting, I'm taking them all (Lola's here too) back to mine, to do my other bins, ready for tomorrows rubbish collection. It's all go here!...Thank you for stopping by. 

It's A Wednesday Freebie!

 I just made it in time for a Wednesday freebie! I'm sorry it's an oldie, from waaaay back but it is a little different. More hills and grass! I've been soooo busy today I almost caught myself coming back the other way!  GO HERE to get him! Good news though! That £100 fine I got for parking in the pubs car park, on my birthday treat lunch...I don't have to pay it!! Yay! Thank you for stopping by!

It's WOYWW!? #826

 

Happy WOYWW!? I have something on my next this week...I've been shopping.....The little Crafty Charity Shop that closed ages ago, is back, bigger and better than ever!!! The grand opening was today, and it was packed!!!  

I spied this media book for a £1; I'm sure it must be new, no painty finger prints!

   

My favourite thing was this scrapbook for £2.
 

If you open it up, there's folded bits that when unwrapped, you can take out the chicago screws to add your 12x12 papers on either side. I have some longer shank Chicago Screws so, hopely will be able to add loads of papers...

 

 I also nabbed some dies..£1.50 and £3....In the top right hand corner you can see the Chicago Screws I'd taken out of the scrap book.

Then two brand new Stamping up inks jumped into my basket for £1.50...After that I visited Big George, a lovely dog I used to look after. Then, I nipped over to Christchurch to see if I could be let off that £100 parking fine, for parking in the pubs car park...and yes! Seeing I could prove I was there having a meal and not just parking  and scooting off some where else. After that I nipped into The Works and bought some document wallets (5 for a £1) and  a set of pattern rollers, £3. They should be fun to play with. 

 Well, that's my day done...the workmen say they have finished the kitchen...but they've left an awfull amount of rubbish in the drive... they still have to add a drawer front that was missing...and then...that should be it! I'll have a grand opening! That's it from me, don't forget the Wednesday Freebie is coming up next, in the meantime, pop over to SarahsCraftShed and join in! Thank you for stopping by. 

Happy T for Tuesday And A Tuesday Toadstood FREEBIE too!

 Happy April Fools day! Thought I was a victim of an April Fool's joke, when I received a fine for £100 for parking in the Inn's car park, where we had my Birthday treat lunch...but no, it was real! Hope I can sort that out, cos I was inside the pub having fun with family. Anyway!!! Here 's a Tuesday freebie for you...Whenever I can't think of what to draw...I draw a toadstool, or a mushroom....Go HERE to download, and don't forget to show me what you do with it... I'm also adding T stands For Tuesday (when I can link) to this post with an extra tea pot freebie, an oldie you may've missed...

Below is a mug of froffy Coffee and a chocolate biscuite, I was having a munch on, while typing out this post...Happy T Stands for Tuesday day! Pop over to AlteredBooklover to find out more!

 And below  is my Kombucha fruit drink, made with berries, and oolong tea(??)

I'm off out to visit Big George later, a dog I walked for many years, I shall be taking doggy treats! What do you think of my new tiles, plugs and kitchen worktop? Short and sweet this week, as the workmen are still here!! Thank you for stopping by! Happy T Tuesday!!

It's Freebie Time _on a Monday!

 Sorry there's not been any freebies in AGES...But the kitchen chaos continues! Over the weekend the clocks 'spung/ Forward...losing an hour, sort of, (but gaining more sun) so I should be in bed snooozzing but thought, if I can build that Butchers Bench on wheels, then, I can draw a freebie! So here it is...Dotty Dinosaur. Hope you like her- or him. GO HERE to download. The more who download the longer it stays. A Toadstool freebie with be here tomorrow...plus an extra tea pot digi...and, yet another freebie, on Wednesday...I'm on a roll...and that has nothing to do with my butchers bench! # Just as well I'm aimbidextrous! There was a lot of screws to screw in!!

It's in the hall at the moment, keeping out of the way of the 'workforce' There's a lift up flap at the back, making somewhere to have my breakfast...and do a bit of crafting too...there were spice racks and towel rails to add, but that would've made it too long...That's it for now...see you tomorrow for another freebie and T for Tuesday... Thank you for stopping by!

WHats On Your Worktop Wed--no-Friday!#825

Happy VERY Late WOYWW!? Go visit Sarah's Craft Shed to find out more!! In spite of all the chaos with the kitchen refit, I have managed to do a bit of crafting, so there is something on my craft bench... It's only cutting out, glueing and making folios with a few freebies from VectoriaDesigns. Go visit! Get email reminders. Worth it!! 

The freebies, showing balloons at the top of this picture come via SevenPlaza from her Ko-fi shop, it's for the #MassMakeMarch. Another challenge I wanted to join in with this month. The other papers are VectorianDesign.

 The kitchen is still on going...painting, flooring...a hiden drawer to fix inside a larger drawer...and my loft ladder trapdoor won't close properly, as they didn't realise it was electric and pulled on the hatch door...ohhho-n-no no-no-no! 

I have started in the garden, but  just haven't any, what's it called?? Motivation? Brotheration?? So, I'll show you that next week, if anything changes. Then the neighbour, at the bottom of my garden has an ovrt hanging tree, which has slowly began ripping off all the roof covering on the shed half of John's Man Cave...I texted her, but she said, 'it wasn't her tree'??!! O...K. So who's tree is it then? The man in the moon!? So I sent a picture. She said, if it was her tree she would fix it...but that was nearly two weeks ago....I know why, it's because I haven't made a contribution to her new fence yet..but quite honestly, she's asked for a lot more.  If only I can find that money tree!! 

Old Breakfast bar...all my own tiling!

I have been very naughty and ordered a 'rolling butchers work bench, with drop leaf' so I can sit in the kitchen and eat...as the worktop there has long gone. That should be coming today...just watch me try and put that together...I hope it's easy!

 Dexter Hunting for the ball

I had Dexter in the week to take out for a walk...in his case, a charge about everywhere with the ball, he was pleased to see me. Hope he's not missing Duke too much, they were such great buddies together. 

Here's an old picture of my gel-plate to remind me to find a space somewhere so I can join in with Ceri the Crafters #MixedMediaMarch25 , cos it's nearly over, and I haven't even started yet!  Time waits for no one...
That's it for now, someone's just texted me to go let their dogs out... me thinks they must've forgotten to ask me earlier...Have a great weekend....The clocks change here this weekend (Mother's Day too), I think. That'll be fun! Happy WOYWW!? Thank you for stopping by! 

**Up Date Butchers Bench has arrived... 😕 more on that, later!

Time for T Stands for Tuesday...

 ....even though it's Wednesday....or was, it's not now... Happy late T day!  Pop over and join Elizabeth and Bleu Beard to find out what it's all about. Kitchen workmen are still here... busying themselves with all things 'kitchenf.' There's been a few problems but I think they've sorted them out. I  have a good excuse for being so late and for not getting round to seeing your posts, no electric and no internet! (and for  short time, no water either!!) This morning I decided to have my boring breakfast on my new counter (covered with card to stop slashes and workmen stuff)  I'm really pleased to say, after months and months and months, my local store has started restocking the Cold Press (no sugar) Fruit drinks again... and Kombcha; so I've stocked up on them. That's it for now Happy very late T Day. Thankyou for stopping buy

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!

Workmen are busy in the Kitchen, so it'll be nice to get out for a bit! 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!

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!
