A supermarket ‘present’

Posted on Posted in UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , , Leave a comment

A local supermarket keeps sending me letters to try and get me to come back (I’ve been using the cheaper one down the road). Most weeks I get a letter and vouchers, but because of the post they are generally due to expire on that day or the next. But today I got a package which looked like it was a cloth carrier bag, plus four lots of 500 ‘point’ vouchers and you only had to spend one pound?! Whoopee!

I went to the shop, got a few things I can’t buy at the ‘cheap’ shop and proceeded to the till where I spoke to a nice man. I got the ‘bag’ out and unfolded it…. I didn’t understand, it was plain on one side. It was a TEA TOWEL! No! Not a bag! Botheration…. I bought a thirty pence!?! Carrier bag. At least I could use one of the 500 point vouchers? No. I hadn’t selected one of the supermarkets premium brand products! Botheration again.

Cat in a bag

Like all great speleologists my cat likes exploring tight and small spaces. For instance she found a pack of felt pens in this bag.

Her caving experience also includes behind the bathroom sink pedestal, under the washing on the laundry airer, and underneath my hubby’s overcoat where it touches the floor. She will lie in wait, or extend a paw quietly to catch her brother as he is passing. A miniature lion in her den.

Today’s challenge on #MendNotTrend (day four) was to create something three dimensional out of string or plastic and perhaps draw it or draw the idea of what it would look like if you didn’t have anything to work with. So I cut a carrier bag in half (down the front, then down the back) leaving it uncut at the bottom. I twisted both sides by the handles to make a plastic ‘rope’. I then looped it through one handle and looped into the loop over and over, finishing at the other handle loop…. See photos. I finally drew the outcome…
