T for Tuesday....

Hi all.  This will probably be the last time I will be able to join in with the T for Tuesday link up as this is the last Tuesday in the school holidays.  Next week I will be up bright and early to spend my day with my little twinnie munchkins so there really wont be a spare minute to be spent on the computer.  They have altered lots in the last 6 weeks so it will be interesting to see just how my day will be spent....one thing for sure is I will sleep well at night  :-)

So here is my T for Tuesday snap today....

 'Can you see what it is yet?'

I've taken my breakfast through into my sewing room today so you can see what I was up to yesterday.  I've been playing with fabric....it's what I do!  I've been looking for crafty ideas to make to amuse my grandchildren and have decided to make a "Nanny Annie's Fun Book".  The plan is to make several pages that will all go together into a file but can be taken out to be played with.

I have lots of ideas in my head and found this idea over at Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows.  If you'd like to see more then please pop back tomorrow.  I shall be making extra pages as and when I get some creative play time and have ones planned to use zips, poppers, velcro, buttons and buttonholes to teach shapes, colours, numbers etc etc etc  I have a feeling I'd best make 5 pages before I let them loose on the little ones so they each have a page to play with  :-) :-)

As they say.......Watch this space.  :-)

Thanks for popping by and leaving such lovely comments.

T for Tuesday...

My cuppa this morning is a quick one but I have cut some fresh flowers to share with you out of the garden this morning.

• My usual morning coffee in one of my fav mugs
• my morning tablets....that hopefully are going to get less now my diabetes is under control
• a bowl of nutty muesli this morning
• and of course my fav little yellow jug full of garden flowers....hope you can smell them from there  :-)

Would you like to know why it's a quick one from me today?

Well I'm going to tell you....I'm helping my daughter-in-law to be, Gina, cut and prepare the card etc for the wedding invites this morning.  :-)  There will be lots of pink going on today and I'm looking to a fun morning together.

That's all from me for now.  If you want to see more then please pop back tomorrow to see the state of my desk.  Pop over to join in today's fun at Elizabeth's blog and to see what others have been up to too.

Thanks for calling by.

T for Tuesday...

I'm back to join in with the T for Tuesday and link up over at Elizabeth's for my second week.  I was made to feel very welcome last week so thank you to those who called by to say hello.

This is how I'm starting my day today...

 

• My morning tablets and water to take them with.
• A bowl of nutty granola with low fat plain yogurt...yum
• And of course my much needed cup of coffee.

I'm hoping this starts my day off well cos I am going to be takling some paper crafting today. Annette from over the seas at Scrap Happens here sent me a gorgeous little book to 'have a go at' making my own version.  If you follow the link you will see just what a challenge she has given this 'not very good paper crafter'.  It has already been the cause of much hilarity and, shall we say I should buy shares in tena lady!  Think I'd have been better at making an origami frog than a book and at one point I had made a lovely pyramid!!  Her gorgeous little book really did get my creative juices flowing though and I can picture a little book for use by my grandies with a theme....picture a zoo, a farm, a house or maybe even a fairy castle?

I hope you have a good imagination and keep working hard on what you imagine it might look like.....I just hope I can come up with something that looks like anything other than the frog or pyramid!!!!!

Thanks for calling by.  I'm in for a day of fun today....that is apart from the dentist appointment I've got in the middle of my day!  Hope your's is a good one.

Hugs,

T stands for Tuesday

I have been reading through the blogs I follow and I noticed that several have joined in with Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday so I thought I would give it a go.

Why?.....cos I can  :-)  

It's the school holidays  here so I haven't got my little twinnie munchkins for 6 weeks [of course I will be seeing them but I know their mummy will want to make the best of her time off to spend all the time she can with them....who can blame her?].  I will still be shutting up shop as normal on my Tuesdays so it will allow me a little bit of me time to do anything I fancy....wahoooooo I'm foot loose and fancy free.

.....but of course I'm missing my little friends like crazy.

So here you go....mine's a coffee in one of my favourite mugs.  It's lined up with everything I've had to start my day today.

• My tablets....One diabetic tablet, one for my blood pressure, a cod liver oil capsule and glucosamine tablet, both of which I take for my arthritis.....yep I rattle!
• Eggs benedict on a lightly toasted wholemeal muffin...which fits perfectly into my diabetic diet.  I like to have eggs once or twice a week and this was really yummy.....plus I'm still loosing a pound a week so must be getting something right  :-)
• Plus of course my mug of coffee.

So there you go.  I'm all ready to have some fun now....wonder what I shall do?  :-)

If you'd like to join in the fun pop over to visit Elizabeth and link up.

Hugs,
