A Motion in Time?

All this talk of budget plans set me thinking,

it's time I balanced my books...

I wondered whether I could make an affordable trinket

 in less than 30 minutes to achieve a minimum wage.

I needed a time and motion study

so I timed myself in motion.

It wasn't pretty.

I had tangles, knots and bad words everywhere.

These passed the test...

Blooming felt

and these failed...

felt too long

It seems I must stitch faster,

cut quicker

and stuff smarter

if I want to stay in the race.

But I'm not going to race because crafting keeps me sane

and that's priceless.

I wonder if Mr Osborne likes Jammy Dodgers?

 I promised Hettie some thrifty tips.

I can't save the planet 

but this won't cost the earth...

1. Take a flask for a crafty cuppa on the go

to avoid the cafe culture rip offs.

2. Share a tea bag, two full mugs from one bag is very acceptable

especially if you are an unbalanced pair (one strong, one weak!)

3. Divide and conquer a family size pack of biscuits.

Foil wrap a couple or more for a packed lunch or picnic,

 far cheaper than a Penguin.

Shall I put the kettle on?

Help yourself to a biscuit...

Does anyone else remember the Chocolate Garibaldi

or was that just a fantasy?

Cheers!

Crafty ways make crafty cuppas.
