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!

This Week Another Trip To T Stands for Tuesday and WOYWW!? #762!

 The week is never long enough. So many things I wanted to do, and didn't, and just as many things I didn't want to do, and did!  Above is my kitchen crafty space. Below is the normal very boring breakfast  plus a cup of tea, and a boiled egg. The egg cup, features the Five little pigs, 'Off to maket, and wee wee wee-ing all the way home'. Second dentist visit this afternoon so, thought I'd better stock up with extra breakfast...and there's extra Nutella in that warm brioche! Today I'm hoping to join in with T Stands for Tuesday and WOYWW!? 

 Slept on John's side of the bed last night and actually got four hours sleep instead of two! Hmmm!? I always wake up about half an hour before I go to bed, turned on my phone see see that Ceri The Crafter was decorating those pod laundry capsules boxes I was covering last week (and still am). He'd combinned it with a GellPrint colour challenge over on Makers of mixed Media I was so excited to see what he'd  come up with! He made the lid and the bottom of the box into storage to hold lables, tags, small journal cards etc and then covered it/them with his finished Gell Print papers. Fabulous! 

So, the first thing I did, @ 5' o clock this morning was to add my Gelli what'sit thingies to my collection of boxes and sort out some papers and paints and have a go! More on that when I've done it!

This arrived yesterday...(Tuesday) Never had a bin before, this'll be the first of many me thinks. And then, this was put up on Monday...so much better than that skinny little shelf that was there before. Just need to fill in those tiny little holes!

On another part of my crafty space, these scraps were left over from covering that box last week, so I made tags...because, I can and I don't have to think, just do! (I made loads and have already used most of them)

At the back of my pile of boxes are some magazing papers I've cut out ready for making a glue book. I think I might add a little red telephone to that elephant.

 Then seeing sil was away...I helped Karen (one of her long time customers) to walk three of her four dogs yesterday too. She used to have six!

 

From the plane, Debs sent this, to make us all jealous...

And later...this lovely beach. It was trying to snow here!!

 Also these arrived yeserday! Craft Stash had a sale! (basically half price) And these found their way into my basket! Well, that's it from me for a little while...will try load this weeks freebie asap! Pop over to Stamping Ground and T Stands for Tuesday to see loads of craftness from all over the globe!  **Was just about to post this and guess what???  It had loaded on the wrong blog! It can only happened to me!! Thank you for stopping by!

When Tuesday and Wednesday become One...#WOYWW 734 plus T for Tuesday

 It's Wednesday! So...I'm joining in with Wednesday's WOYWW and  Tuesday's T stands for Tea, over on Bleubeard and Elizabeth, Altered Book Lover, this week, as last week I couldn't join in at all, (blogger is still being mean!) So, I went off into the real world and did other things....are there other things to do, apart from crafting? Apparently! Shopping!

Above is my breakfast. I've now been told, that I shouldn't zisss up the fruit as it turns to sugar...hmmm, but then so does anything else you chew on.

My Workbench (Very Top) has stayed the same for months...I just add to the chaos in an unirregular and irregular way, often waiting to see what falls to the floor first... I do love boxes and  I do need storage so I often turn any old box into something useful. in my mind, to anyone else they would've dumped them straight into the recycle bin at first sight. Above, I've been making some pockets for putting things in. Some have two, three, four and even six pockets.  See more of them on another post. One got left in the garden for a couple of nights and a snail feasted on it but a little dab of 'worn lipstick' soon cured that, and you'd never know!

 

 Yesterday I bought a lawn mower, I had a tiny electic one I'd inherited from Lady Pam...Oho I wonder if her title is inheritable? Lady Lyn. Hmmm? Lady Spyder..ohoo. Me thinks not. After empting the oil and petrol from the old big mower it went off to the tip (I just couldn't start it, it had to go! And John had welded it up sooo many times it was probably dangerous!)This new battery mower came in a very sturdy box, which I'm thinking could make my new inkpad shelving. I looked on line and they wanted over £400 for something made out of MDF.  Has the world gone crazy!? No wonder Temu is doing so well, (the deliverman told me they'd over doubled their usual Christmas deliveries and will quadruple them easily by the end on the year) 

 

 Here's some stickers I cut off the back cover because of that lovely brown colour to stick the stickers on to, so they'd have a nice back...I also used the front of the sticker book to cover the *boxes I've shown below)

 Anyway, going back to boxes, I've included two old phone *boxes on my bench that I found in late hubby's Man Cave. They have a kind of wrap around lid and have an ingenius way of locking them shut, just with a tab...so, now I keep lables in them from Esty and Temu. The other box is an Ariel pod box. Their old designs were plastic and had teeth that would bite! 

 These boxes are  a work of genius  engineering design. I've been saving them ever since they first came out. They are filled with scrap bits at the moment.  Sam Calcott  even made a Christmas turtorial on how to make them! (Slide and Lock Gift Boxes) Me? So far I've just painted and covered them! 

Here's a close up of  the glues...£8.50 for the cosmic Simmer, but the little ones were £3, so??? You can never have enough glue. The  Skull and Cross bones bottle holds my White Spirit. Always useful.

 Also on my bench is the loverly wrapping paper that was packed in with the mower...definitely useful...no need to coffee or tea stain papers for ages. Also on my bench are some paints (three for two) and Mod Podge (half price at Hobby Crafts) I also had a £5 money off thingy. The large bottle of Collall glue was from a not so local Crafty shop five pounds cheaper than Amazon. Sadly my Crafty Charity Shop had to close. I'm guessing the owner of the shop thought it was doing so well, he/she could make a bit more rent money. I'm told it will open again, as soon as they can find a shop to put it in! Meanwhile...I'm getting very bad withdrawrall symptons...

I have to stop here for a bit, as I must go feed Kittle, she's just up the road. Her owners always leave me treble chocolate biscuits! It's about 8.30 my time...and she will be wanting her breakfast. Hopefully I'll see all you later...if I can link to Stamping Ground and Altered Book Lover! Have a great crafty week.  Thank you for stopping by!

Update, linked to Stamping Ground by sending my blogs webpage to myself so I could paste and copy it on my phone whilest sitting in my van outside the Co-op. Altered Book Lovers blog opened perfectly this week.  So it's smiles all round...😄
