Spring is far away
Daffies didn’t want to wait

TJ has a wonderful ornate tap for his Household Haiku Challenge this week. Mine are bog standard and pretty boring!
Here is my take on the challenge anyway.
Cold water on tap
Just right for hot, sunny days
Let’s add some ice too!
I have managed to stick with the prompts so far for Linda’s Just Jot It January challenge. Today’s however, is rather tricky as I do not have a dachshund, nor have I ever even met one!
Hmmm, I know, I will write a haiku about one!
Short legs, long body
Skilled in the art of hunting
Looks like a sausage!
I wasn’t sure what I was going to use today for TJ’s Household Challenge as ‘containers’ had so many possibilities.
Anyway, I have been on the lookout for a bag to keep my knitting in as a carrier bag is not the best receptacle! I was looking on Amazon to see how much they are and resented paying thirty quid for the bucket bag that I wanted.
However, I came across Craftsy Website where they had free tutorials on how to make one. Bonus! I had a few scraps of fabric leftover and gave it a whirl. I was really thrilled, as although I am not a great sewist (sewer looks wrong), I managed to make it, and I was more pleased as I have not felt like doing any sewing or anything for ages.
After all that rambling here is my haiku (and my bag)!
My new knitting bag –
A few hours, some old fabric
Was all it took!
For the last Household Haiku Challenge of the year, TJ has given us ‘attraction’ for our prompt word.
I have a few fridge magnets that I enjoy looking at, and this one is something that Mr Grump spotted, and thought I might like. I wonder why?!
Here is my take on it.
Food is my first love
A passionate attraction
-holds a lot of weight!
For this week’s challenge, we have ‘star’ to work with. Christmas being just around the corner, there are many star shaped decorations around the house, but I wanted to find something else. Staying with the Christmas theme, I came up with this:
A sweet Christmas treat
star of the show for Santa
Forget the sherry!
We have the lovely theme of ‘Christmas’ to use this week as our prompt for TJ’s household haiku challenge
Christmas means lots of things to me, one of them is hearing Christmas carols which always make me feel festive.
Out Christmas shopping
Stop for coffee and carols
Christmas is coming!
Another is my Christmas tableware. Now it is now that often that we actually have Christmas dinner at home, but I love my Christmas gravy boat…

Mr Grump smashed it last year
Sister replaced it!
I love the prompt word TJ gave us for this week’s household haiku challenge which is ‘keyhole’.
I decided to show two keyholes, one not being as easy to see on my paternal grandmother’s charm bracelet.

treasures under lock and key

I thought that ’tile’ was quite a tricky word for TJ’s household haiku challenge this week. I live in a modern house and could not think of anything that would be suitable for this word, apart from the obvious generic white tiles which are in the background. Then I noticed something…..
Granite chopping board
Never scratched, nor splintered, just
smooth, sleek and shiny
