The Grumpy Old Woman's Club

Morning folks...I fear that I am fast becoming a Grumpy Old Woman and some folks would say that I joined the club long ago but hey there are just some things in life that irritate the life out of me...little things that have me gritting my teeth and pulling my hair out and no I am not talking about The Furry Boy's Slipper Fetish although the hunt has not been successful...I am still wandering around with mismatched feet. So who has annoyed me this morning...the numpties in the EU who have insisted that your breakfast banana should be a certain shape...that all the tomatoes in your veggie drawer be perfectly round and your fruit bowl be filled with items of symmetrical perfection...idiotic ideas to justify their huge salaries but it's time to wake up and smell the flowers boys...time to get your thinking caps on and address a far more pressing issue...starting off with the one that drives me mad some mornings depending on the bread shopping list...
why do I have to wrestle with some bread slices having to chop a chunk off to get them to fit in the toaster...surely the EU boffins have fallen down on the job here...so a little suggestion for all the mad uniform size brigade...us toast addicts need bread slices all the same size and just in case it doesn't occur to them we also need toaster slots to match. I know you are all thinking "has she totally lost the plot" if this is all she has to worry about...believe me you are not alone...I am wondering the same...think I need to get out more.
Despite my morning battles with all things toasty...the Fiskars project is finished and just a sneaky peek as it's destined for a new product training session for my French Fiskars Chums.


and some sneaky peeks of the new designs from the 2011 Catalogue

which I hope will be making their way to the cubbyhole very soon.....can't wait to play

With the help of my big girl knickers and a little bit of cracking the whip...the crafty juices seem to be flowing again so it's going to be a play day with my new Hero Arts...catch up with you all tomorrow.
Hugs Kath xxx
