Take that, flying pests!
I like to think I’m not only a crafter and creator of different mediums, but a Ms. MacGyver. So when the heat of summer was fading and all the ladybugs (I know these guys aren’t pests outdoors, indoors a whole other matter), gnats, and every other flying critter wanted to seek sanctuary inside our house, I had a problem. Well a lot of them, but the biggest being how to stop them from using my freshly brewed cup of tea as a sauna. I mean really, guys? A little bit of respect would be nice! You are seeking asylum from the lethal cold … and not even paying rent. Rude.
I digress.
Needless to say, as I work from home, spending a great deal of time in front of my computer, I require warm tea to keep me running during the darkest months of the year. Not gnat-flavored tea, thank you very much.
So how to keep them out?
Of course I could buy a cute, trendy mug cover, tea steamer, or whatever ya call them … but … here’s where the MacGyver genes just wouldn’t let me.
Then it hit me, around 2:45am on a random Tuesday. Isn’t that when all the best ideas kick in?
