Tif, the lurgy and a pair of curtains...

it would appear that Mr Lurgy has invited his friends Miss Sinus and Master Bronchitis to join the party...


so despite the lovely sunny weather i will be remaining indoors, behind closed curtains... reclining upon my 'lurgified' bed and trying to stop my 'little creative' cogs from whirling around and around...

she will see you in a few days ~ Tif

laying low...


i'm staying quiet this week, the lurgy has got me in a full headlock grip.
i'm just going to hang around the shed, try to take it easy and give the lurgy it's marching orders once and for all...


she will see you at the end of the week with news of her top secret mission ~ Tif

wall doilies...

for a moment there i was beginning to think you had all locked your 'thinking caps' in a cupboard and thrown away the keys.


i do however thank you lovely readers that did come up with some suggestions...
in the end i have come up with the name
'wall doilies'


seems a nice little play on the words
'wall flowers'
it all sounds pretty and sweet (hopefully not too sweet, but perhaps 'little girls vintage bedroom' sweet)...


the rain has moved aside for sun and it's all warming up a treat around here...
i have no thrifty spoils to show this week but i do have to tell you tomorrow i head off on a top secret mission. ("oooh, Tif... such intrigue, such suspense")
i know... you can always rely upon moi to be up to something. a while back a friend commented to me "why do you always add something into the mix when things are ticking along just fine"... and it is a good question one should ask one's self on occasion and then not dwell on the answer.
a little clue for you would be to say my man said "this is it Tif, this will be the last for a good long while." to which i replied
"yes, of course... at least until our #1 leaves the nest, because then i will have a whopping great big hole in my life to fill!" (and we all know that isn't so very far away, sniff)

on the chicken front, we hold our 'chicken coop' christening party on Saturday...
not a huge grand affair just a few friends around for drinks and a wee game of 'footie' in the back yard. the weather is suppose to stay peachy all weekend long so i'm imagining a wonderful alfresco affair, that is until i focus on the fact i must prepare some 'nibbles' (and no, i will not be preparing 'chicken anything' as that would be plain wrong)...

she will see you on Tues, as it's a bank holiday here... she's taking a wee break to soak up the sun and hopefully get over her hacky 'not nice in public' cough
(which Tasha experienced first hand in the Bank today, "oooh, which Tasha would that be, Tif?"
oh, that would be 'the Tasha who recently tied the knot' eeek!) ~ Tif
