Martha Stewart, move over love, there's a new kid in town



Hello to all! How are you, very well I hope! Something very strange has come over me ,

a) I cant stop reading blogs for hours on end

b) In turn, I can not stop posting (drivel)

c) As you probably already know, it looks like I have no life. At all. The next part of this post should prove this.

and finally,
d) Why the hell is all my typing underlined?

So I did I a big clean today (well two rooms, but I cleaned everything, and rubbed tea tree oil on everything for effect. No germs in this house. (Alright, its because its smells clean too.)

There was a jumper that needed hanging and I noticed the little strips of material that help the clothes hang or something.(Personally I can not stand the blooming things. Every photograph of a special occasion, I forget about them and in the pictures, I stick out like a bare bum because I look like I have four bra straps all hanging out everywhere!

(See, how much they annoy me?)

So I immediately took a pair of scissors to them. But upon further inspection, these are quite pretty material in their own way so I thought of a way to use them. Like this:
I just had two nice china potting bowls which I always thought were two small for planting, put the candles in it and voila!

A bit of a twist on candlesticks! Tip of the week! Next time I will show you how to make a washing machine into a table top delight! (only joking!)
Hope all is well!

Dear Martha-ette, I like quite well your new candle invention thingy.

So, listen, I can't speak to whether or no you're spending too much time on the computer and at other blogs.

I can tell you that I always like hearing from you and whatever you have to say to what I write is in no way drivel.

I got slammed by a Brit saying they thought I had too much to say and always commented which they found annoying. I was a bit put off by that, but I figure, I like visiting and so I'll continue.

I hope you do as well.
