T is for I forgot it was Tuesday

Happy T day, I totally forgot today was in fact Tuesday until I saw Elizabeth's post when I was drinking my coffee on the Paseo this morning.

It’s been a fairly busy week here, we seem to have been spending quite a bit, on updating the villa mainly but I’m very happy with the results, well I will be when it's all finished

I mentioned the new lights in the bedrooms, they look lovely and make the rooms look bigger now the fans aren’t hanging down, although I chose bulbs or lamps as my son tells me to call them, well he is a lighting and design Engineer so I suppose he knows what he's talking about! Anyway I decided on natural light but they give out a strange glow that I'm not sure I like but as they cost half the price of the lights I know someone will not want to buy more! Fitting was also included in the price and the man came and within twenty minutes they were all done.

Steve’s new chair looks good, although he is still going on about not having the colour he wanted. We have cream leather sofas but they are a very creamy colour, so the chairs only came in off white or dark brown, seeing as our carpet is a dark cream, brown and terracotta I thought the brown would look better, which it does, I’ve also bought two brown cushions for one of the other sofas, I’m really pleased with how it looks. I know he’s only trying to wind me up really but he is colour blind so would you let him loose with choosing!!! lOL

I made this card from some free papers I got in a craft Mag, The tiny spotted paper I already had in my stash, I thought it matched the flowers better than the turquoise stripe paper they had put in to use, the circle and the flowers were on a sheet to just push out so no cutting needed as was the silver sentiment. I used some stash to line the inside too. A quick card to put in my box for an emergency!

This is my ticket to the T party over with Elizabeth and Bleubeard, I've had these mugs for years, our DIL bought them on her first trip abroad with work, from Germany, I very rarely use them as I would be upset if I broke one, they must be about 18 years old LOL! I know, crazy but I was very touched that she bought them as she had just left Uni and didn't have much money.

This is all the way from Japan, it originally contained Tea Leaves. Our son's VP in San Francisco is Japanese and travels over there quite a bit with work and visiting family. Our son was telling her that I craft and that he saves fancy boxes and tins for me, the next day she gave him this tin to give me and also a couple of boxes but by that time my case was too full to fit them all in. I'm not sure what I will actually use it for but I can never resist a fancy box or tin!!!

The temperature has been in the 20c's so we have switched to solar water and cleaned out the log fire, next week we will order a ton of logs ready for next winter, that's what I love about Spain, winter doesn't last very long here on the south coast.

Have a great week, thanks to all my visitors last week, I hope I managed to visit everyone but it's always a challenge on my ipad but I'm back on my PC now so fingers crossed it will be easier to comment. Jan x
