Something on permies got me thinking. Permies in many corners are "doers". Even if all they do is plant edible flowers on their balcony, they think differently from many people I meet who seem to be quite happy to just be passively entertained and never *do* anything.
So this is a page to brag about what you *did* while drinking a mug of tea (or coffee or any hot drink - have to be inclusive because we accept people of all sorts so long as they play nice).
Yesterday, I cut out and pinned a patch pocket to a pair of leggings. Hopefully, afternoon tea time will get it sewn on, but I'm a great one for breaking down big projects into bight sized chunks so they actually get finished.
This morning, I thought up this thread, and got it started!
Come one and all - tell me what you *did* while relaxing with a hot cuppa!

Sometimes, I read fiction, sometimes non-fiction. But, small projects happen, often. Lately, I've been teaching myself continuous strand weaving, on a small (9inch, I think) square loom.

I really relish taking at least a moment in my day to observe my flock of chickens in their paddock; ideally I would be sitting and perhaps drinking a nice mug of tea at the same time.
A cup of tea goes well with plotting and scheming - in this case planning out my proposed permaculture polytunnel. Hint - I'm still looking for help with this!
