    T Tuesday: Tea for two edition

    December 2, 2014 - By 

    tea for two

    Mini-me (otherwise known as Little J) and I had morning “tea” yesterday since they had yet one more day off for the Thanksgiving holiday. I had tea, she had cocoa with a generous portion of Redi-whip leftover from pumpkin pie time.

    We had two Thanksgivings…one at my in-laws and one here with my mom. I completely missed T stands for Tuesday last week. We were just too busy with everyone off including Mr. G. Today I have the house to myself…except for Gracie…she’s snuggled in my bed. Darn cat…sleeping the day away after keeping me up fighting for space in the bed.

    I wish I could just sit and be lazy today but I need to get caught up on errands.

    Hopefully I’ll have some more art to share real soon. I started a painting a few days ago but am not excited about it so far…I set it aside to wait for inspiration.

    One more craft sale next week. A little impromptu sale at my mom’s senior building. She’s handing out flyers to all of her friends and Bingo buddies.

    What are you doing today?

    All that is left of this challenge is binding the calendar pages into the book I selected. I have a plan in my head…lets just see if it translates to reality in the same way.

    They had charm

    Another day of playing…well, not the whole day…not even close.

    Today I worked my white journal. It’s getting pretty full. I’m definitely going to need to remove some more pages.

    I’m continuing my love affair with pattern envelopes. The old images are simply wonderful.

    I’ve also been going crazy with the washi tape. I finally got out my new dispenser…purchased last year about this time and hidden for Christmas…then forgotten. Nice. I got mine at Costco for WAY less $$ than Amazon has it listed.

    I kept with the sewing theme and used a bit of a very old measuring tape as an accent. The sunburst was an unused piece from a graduation card that has been floating around on my desk for quite some time. Never throw anything away! No, don’t listen to me…things need to be tossed otherwise you’ll end up getting a dumpster or two next time you move.

    I also broke out the dimensional paint for some texture and bling. I had it out for J to decorate a mask for school. They are reenacting the masquerade ball from Romeo and Juliet in his English class.
