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!

What's On YourWork Top This week?? #796-And a bit of T for Tuesday too!

 It's Wednesday, And WOYWW strikes again! I think...not sure. And also the week of the second anniversary of John passing on and not ever coming back. I tell myself that every day but still find it very hard to believe. Because I'm away I haven't done anything worth showing really but I will otherwise my poor Blog will think I've abandoned  it, again! A different kitchen table this week. but the same things. I have managed to add two more completed gentlemen cats with acetate windows and cut out some freebies too. 

 And, so I can add T stands for Tuesday too, I've added my boring ol' breakfast, also on a different kitchen top...and with different plates and cups... but the same drinks. Also I was VERY naughty and bought some Nuttella....so my little warmed bun ozzes hot choclate! The lidded Tubberware orange/yellow mug, I use to mircowave my eggs! That's over 45 years old that mug! Honest! Off out now to visit the dogs 'dad' who's in a Care home, they really love visiting him! There's a dog party happening later in the week. They'll love that too! Thank you for stopping by!

Whats On My Worktop, in the sunroom this wednesday! #795

Afternoon Wednesday WoyWWers!  Check in over on Sarah'sCraft Shed and join in! I'm house sitting and dog sitting and have just set up my laptop in the sunroom....where the only internet link that works for me is in the bedroom/office/sitting room upstairs above me! I brought a few crafty things with me, which I can cut out, ready to turn into something else.  The paper and card sets you can see in the picture come from Aldi. I always get them when they  have them. It's very hot in the sunroom! I have the doors open but still have to keep my eyes on the dogs, just in case they see a squirrel, or a deer or a fox, coz they'll be off after it!! Happy WOYWW!? Thank you for stopping by!

It's Tuesday....Time For tea...

We had a bank holiday Monday yesterday, so I lost a whole day thinking yesterday was Sunday and today was Monday....oops! Luckily I realised in time, as tomorrow...being Wednesday, I'm off House sitting! So I'm packing up stuff I'll need, and of course some crafty goodies to play with while I'm there.  Anyway! It's never too late for T on Tuesday, hosted by Elizabeth and Bleubeard. Above is my 'Boring Breakfast' The supermarket was sold out of my latest fruit and veg drink, (ColdPress) for three whole days, so I thought I'd try 'Super Smoothie, Innocent'. (Kiwi,Cucumber, Apple, Mathcha (tea powder) and flax seeds, with vitamins. I Googled that, and Google suggested that we eat our fruit and not drink it because of the sugar content in it. But, they gave my other tea fruit drink (with Elderberry and lemon and other flavours, seen in the picture) a thumbs up, so I think I'll just stick to Kombucha (sugar free) from now on....So! Not much is happening here. My crafty mojo has gone walk about... hopefully I'll find it soon... Have a Happy Tuesday!  Thank you for stopping by!

WOYWW!?#794

 Welcome to What's On your Worktop Wednesday! Nip over to Sarah's Craft Shed to find out more! Sorry to eveyone for last week...I didn't get around to you all, as blogger wouldn't let me comment or, on some blogs, I couldn't find where the comment  thingies were and was fast running out of time! Or??  Something else?! Above are some yellow boxes that Kittle The cats mum gave me. To their left is what I did with the last two she gave me...They're filled with mostly labels and stickers.  Sadly, Kittle passed away at the beginning of the month, I shall miss cat sitting her so much. 😢
To answer a question from last week,
from BJ, which I think I answered but couldn't see the comment.... (I will double check again later) Trollys! You can never have enough trolly or anything on wheels in a small crafty space! Here they are...
Last weeks trolly
Trolly #1 is from Hobby Craft. At the time they were £25 down to £20 and is in  my craft room at the moment holding paint and some gel-printing stuff...
Trolly #2

Trolly #2 is at the moment in the bedroom, to make more room as I have dogs staying. I bought it second hand along with a lidded box from a charity craft shop for £10

Trolly #3 Ikea

Trolly # 3 was the very first one John bought me from Ikea, it was nearly half price in their sale, £50 down to £30...Waaay over priced but it's taller  and stronger and holds crafty stuff as well as doubling up as a table for a lamp in the living room. The wooden top is from Hobby craft.


Trolly #4
Trolly #4 is usually kept in  what was the airing cupboard, when not in my craft room. This was bought from Lidl (or Aldi?? ) for £12.00. The A B C on the trays I stuck on when I was putting it together as they seemed to be different sizes and took ages to screw to the frame!  Best one? probably Ikea... but should be cheaper I think...Hobby Craft do them in a lot more colours! I could still do with another one!! That's it from me!! Happy WOYWW!? Thank you for stopping by!

It's Tea Time Any time will do!!

 

 I'm late for tea (again) T stands for Tuesday over at Elizabeth and Bleubeard's and I'm also 'Terible Time Keeper!' No, well, yes, I am, as I'm up to my eyeballs in non crafty stuff and just couldn't find any time to get to my laptop/computer... As you can see in the picture...Trimmers, Tablets for Tuesday, Torch, Tape, and red Toy box. At my feet at this moment I have Loki, a Pom-ski, and barking at birds in the sitting room...is Lola...(the birds are on the bird table in the garden... and not the sitting room...just thought I'd make that clear!) The supermarket had done left, of that lovely fruit/veg mix I showed you before, so I've gone back to mixing up a load of fruit and veg in my mixer again... Quite yummy! I had my blood test results yesterday and the doc was very pleased that I was a '90' and now I'm a '59'...whatever those magical numbers mean, it's all good! That will have to be it for now!! Happy T Day! Thank you for stopping by!

Whats On Your Worktop Wednesday?! #793

 

Yes, it's Wednesday and that means WOYWW!? Pop over to Sarah's CraftShed to find out more! Well, I haven't done anything much at all, I've been tidying (hahahahaa) up after having a very hairy fourlegged friend over and today two four legged friends are coming! So I must make space...'specialy clearing the crafty stuff that is blocking the hall. At last I can get into my craft room... sort of.... Below is what I have made this week...

Mr Gentleman Puss-cat. I've showed you these before as I took the whole set to play with while house sitting a few months back in June. (It's a freebie from VectoriaDesigns.) At last I found time to add the acetate to the front of the window. So he's all nice and 'shinny' now inside his specimen folder. The others (seen on another woyww post) I'm still making them, so you can see the cat through the window, but can also pull them out because they're fixed to a tag...but this one is just stuck in as seen.So ! That's it for now! Have a great crafty WOYWW week. Thank you for stopping by!

WOYWW?
