TEA FOR TWO AND TWO FOR TEA.......
We have a phrase in LLJ Towers; it was first coined by Mr LLJ and it is TEA BAG SYNDROME.
It all started when he was making me a cuppa - good chap that he is - on opening the bin to deposit the used bag, he found it overflowing so decided to change it. When he took the bulging bag to the dustbin outside, THAT was overflowing too, so he had to change that too....and so Tea Bag Syndrome began - one simple action that descends into stages of madness...
Why am I telling you this? Because Younger son decided to swap bedrooms and Tea Bag Syndrome was initiated...because before you can start decorating, everything has to be removed from the room etc etc. And that is why my desk/craft room looks like this:
So, no desk crafting this week!
My son was sorting out 17 years worth of STUFF; the cat was supervising.....
So Teabag Syndrome was: Clear room, sort stuff, dismantle furniture, go to the tip, prepare for decorating (Yuk), decorate, shift furniture and refill with teenage accoutrements. Love it :-)
But crocheting is still happening! I can't watch telly without doing something so here is my downstairs crafting area (that sounds SO wrong.......)
There's a big bag of granny squares, I've almost finished them and then blanket creating will commence. But there's a whole load of yarn stuffed into that basket that are interlopers. Hopefully, inspiration will strike.
I had a wonderful load of Happy Mail from Kay (see previous post) which more than made up for the leak in the central heating system and flood in my dining area. See, it's been one of those weeks.
But some more happy mail arrived today from Brenda (Butlers Abroad)
Some really beautiful cards for the ladies in the Refuge and...
...some beady bling for me!! Yay, thank you soooo much Brenda..you know me so well. I shall put them to good use!!
So, this week has most definitely got better :-)
