Tea Kit

DD#1 brought me two tea kits from the train trip in India. How cute it that? How lovely would it be to have tea kits given out while traveling? 

I

I’m going to make myself a “tea kit” to carry in my purse and one for my knitting bag! Maybe I’ll get creative and alter an Altoid tin and use it. I do like stevia in my tea, but I think I can fit my stevia tablets in a tin. Oh, I’m so excited at the idea of a new project!

I have been stewing over making handkerchiefs and having a difficult time hemming the edges. Hate the quarter inch turned edge sewn by hand or machine. I am working on hand rolling the edge of the last one. I like the look, but what a pain. I must not be doing something right. I’ll either search the web for directions or go through the books I have….. I think the web is quicker!

I did want to get a picture of my great Aunt Mary’s gypsy girl napkin holder. I am feeling very nostalgic these days and pulled her out. I remember her on my Aunt Mary’s table. Ah, life goes by at the speed of light!

Next on my list is to find some aprons. I wish I had some of my mother-in-laws aprons. She would pack one when ever she visited us. I was puzzled at first thinking my house must not be as clean as she liked! Then I found that she always liked to be busy and after raising 4 boys (my DH is the baby) she liked to just jump in and help. I had 2 kids while she was alive and it was always wonderful to have an extra pair of hands. She was planning on coming to help when our third baby came but sadly she passed before my DD#2 was born. I will always pack an apron when visiting my kids!

cheers!

Tea in India

Well, DD#1 is back from her trip to India. Lot’s of scary tales of cars running over her foot, to an incident concerning her head, a rock and a rock slide. However, not counting the bronchitis she came home with, she did bring back wonderful stories of people and places and “eatables”.

She took me via my “Flat self” along. Here I am in the Himalayas.

Here is an interesting advertisement for Lipton.

Yeah, and there are way too many monkeys in the northern part of India!

My card reader is missing in action or I would post a picture of the Tea Kit they give out on the trains. How lovely is that? 

Anyhoo, the house is still in post travel chaos, but slowly laundry is being washed and put away. There is only 4 weeks until moving back to college. Wow, the summer is flying past!

Cheers!
