I don't feel like crocheting today anyway.

I did think it was DH's fault as he'd somehow got one coaster half on top of the other and the coffee table has a bevelled edge but he said I wasn't looking what I was doing.

He was trying not to laugh

oh Callistemon I hope you are not looking for tips because all I can do is laugh !

I thought tipping was the main issue here, lol !

I certainly didn't laugh when my DH tripped and dropped a bowl of spaghetti bolognese on the stair carpet a few years ago. I rushed to examine the carpet before asking him if he was ok . I think there was also some remark made about not bringing food into the sitting room !!

Now I feel bad for not being more sympathetic !

At least I don't take sugar in my tea!
And some did go on the carpet so I had to shampoo that as well.

I didn't laugh at the time (I did say a naughty word or two) but can look back and laugh now.

What a huge amount of work to get back to where you started, I know the feeling only too well!

Knocked a full cup of tea into their knitting/crochet bag?
It seemed to tip in slow motion!

It's a lovely quilted knitting bag with wooden handles and spaces for patterns, needles, crochet hooks etc. It contained balls of yarn and some experimental crochet flower squares I'd been making.

I've washed everything by hand; bag, balls of yarn, squares
(luckily the patterns down the side pocket seemed dry), rinsed then spun them all dry in net bags in the washing machine.

Now they're sitting on towels drying slowly and I hope will be none the worse.
