Big girl knickers and determination were the order of the day yesterday and woohoo I sailed through my Simon Says Stamp DT project for next week in an hour and a bit and set it aside for the glossy accents to dry.
In the meantime I decided to treat myself to a "polishing my halo" coffee break...some outdoor time visiting friends on Facebook but little did I know that the gremlins had taken up residence in my absence. Flipping Nora did I not go and spill scalding coffee all over my leg and the screen of my tablet...I swear I heard it splutter and cough before the screen went black and it shut down and wouldn't switch on again. Thankfully after some sweet talking and lots of finger crossing...I'm forgiven...all seems to be OK and we're back in the land of out and about internet surfing. BUT little did I know that the day had disaster with a capital D written all over it and was about to get even more annoying...while I was dealing with the technology disaster...hubby had retrieved the mail from the hall and popped everything addressed to me in the cubbyhole slap bang on top of the glossy accent project and by the time I returned it was stuck fast with no other option than go down the "rip it apart" option...result...one very unhappy Crazy Bird with huge chunks of envelope for eyes and one even more unhappy crafter who was ready to book in for some "you couldn't make it up if you tried" therapy. But hey nobody died...these things happen...time to grit my teeth and make that ill fated "pride comes before a fall" project all over again.
But silly me forgot the old adage that accidents seem to happen in threes...one rather over-exuberant lunchtime game of football in the garden with the Furry Boy resulted in one broken beyond repair plant pot or you could say...a spectacular own goal or a disaster hat-trick.

it's best foot forward for the cubbyhole crew today..."onwards and upwards...we can do this...lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place"...will be the theme of this morning's team brief. Let's hope the gremlins get the message and hightail it off somewhere else.
Catch you all later

Flipping Nora's right, what a day. So happy Wednesday, hope you get everything done and more xxx
ReplyDeleteOh Kath, sounds like a nightmare. It must have been your turn yesterday as Last week it was mine. Onwards and Upwards is all you can do. Glad at least you got a goal. Here's to a better day. Hugs Rita xxx

Sounds like quite an eventful day, I spent most of the day yesterday searching for a lost die and during my search managed to tip a pot of black sparkle embossing powder all over the floor so I feel your pain Lol
ReplyDeleteHugs, Kaz x
Oh golly Kath, what a day! Sounds even worse than my last few days.... Hopefully three is the number you will end on.... and... maybe hubby will buy you some more crafty goodies to make up for his faux pas.... Hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeleteMen ! ha ha.Well that's your quota of Disasters Darling as Craig would say.So Happy Rest of Week to you all.Great goal hee hee.Huggles and a Huge Cuddle for Buddy ( You do give them to him don't you hee hee ).xx
ReplyDeleteOh dear so glad you got the tablet sorted. As for the glossy accents, oh dear, bet hubby was popular.
ReplyDeleteOh no! I see that a number of people had rough days yesterday and heard it's a full moon...so hopefully these life glitches will pass quickly. On "a making lemons into lemonade" note, the broken pot looks perfect for repurposing into a little fairy garden.
