Why Did I Do That???

This morning I hit the floor running and started cleaning out the dreaded laundry basket in the workroom. That was the last of the stuff that I still had to put away. Did I mention that there was another smaller basket on top of that one. I thought not. There was.

Piece by piece I evaluated the things that were left and trotted around the room(and out into the rest of the house) putting things in their proper places. It was good exercise, if nothing else. Here is proof of finishing.....Yes. Both basket are(were) totally empty! That last parenthesised word is a clue as to what happened next.

I went out for a well deserved break and a bottle of water. When I came back, I heard whispers and soft woofs coming from the direction of the baskets.... Yup. Tessie found them.

I listened in and the gist of the conversation was Tessie explaining to Spike that they could use the smaller basket to gather things for her "new house" and store them out of site.... Spike replied with a reluctant "Woof!". I think that he knows that she is going to get him into trouble once again.

The plan was to get everything into the basket and then witch the whole thing under the skirt of the table in the family room. Nobody would ever look under there. I think that she may be more than a bit delusional at times. My paint and my sewing things are both in the drawers under there.

I went back out and had a go at cleaning up the kitchen from breakfast and then came back in. This is what I saw. One of my cabriole legged tables was being dragged into the basket. I finally couldn't stand it. I asked why she didn't just witch it into the basket. Her answer? "Oh! What a good idea! Thanks Casey!".

Do you think that was a well thought out trap to get permission to take the stuff or could she be innocent enough that she just didn't think of witching the stuff that she wanted to grab? I hate to say it, but I think that I was duped once again. I left the room scratching my head in wonder at her cunning.

Before I leave you, I have a favorite French blog that has a great idea that could be adapted to mini work. I love the perforated paper borders that are shown on this entry. They would make great room borders. Some of the all over patterns I could see as paneling. Go take a look and come up with some more ideas. http://sakartonn.over-blog.com/article-30308920.html If you dig around in this blog, you will see all kinds of neat ideas.

See you tomorrow.
