People's Choice -- Coffee

On the first Saturday of everything month.....or soon there after haha. We have been given a fun task. To post about a theme that gets voted on. This month the theme is Coffee. Head over to Jo's check in post to see what others have posted about this time. Now that's out of the way I have to make my post...

I hate coffee! I don't really like any warm drinks. Not even coco. I don't enjoy iced coffee either though. I also just really hate the smell of coffee. Now I've done a lot of soul searching on this and here's my explanation. My dad loved coffee when I was a kid. I connected the smell of coffee to him filling up his thermos. Before work. Before leaving. My parents got divorced when I was 10 years old and I honestly think I connected the smell of coffee to not seeing my dad. So some subconscious weird things I'm sure are in my mind when it comes to coffee. Therapy taught me a lot in my lifetime. Hope that makes sense to my readers.

Now let's get back to why you're here though. Stitching. I'm sure I can find some cute coffee designs to share for those who do like coffee...
Romy's Creations has this cute one called Happiness is Coffee.
Of course Mill Hill has a cute Coffee kit. 
Hands on Design came out with a wonderful set for Coffee lovers. This is one.

Well I'll leave you with those 3 fun designs. Hopefully next month I will be able to make a better post. But I don't know. The theme is Modern Samplers....Another thing I don't really stitch. We'll have to see what I can come up with for that. Now I'm off to read the blogs on my blog reading list. Can't wait to see what others have posted.

Thanks for taking part in The People's Choice this month. Great coffee choices for a non-coffee drinker. I can quite understand why you have negative associations with coffee. I talked about my early memories of the drink in my post.

Maybe you need to make a few suggestions for people to vote on? Rachel sent me a whole batch and I've worked my way through them now!

I think we all have some not nice memories to certain smells. Nice charts you found for the prompt

I can understand your dislike for coffee.I'm not a hot drinks person either.

I live coffee but dislike Tea, it's that smell that turns my tum. Lovely coffee designs.

Rachel said...

Disliking coffee so much it must have been quite difficult preparing this post but you found some cute designs; Mill Hill can usually be relied upon to come to the rescue! :)

Carol said...

Certain smells bring back such strong memories, don't they, Katie? Actually, I'm with you on coffee or tea--don't drink either. I do have cocoa now and then, but usually just stick to water :)

Sorry about your coffee story, I can understand your feelings though. You did find some cute designs though; I like the first one.

Thanks for sharing in spite of your dislike for coffee, which is understandable. I do like what you found, I have stitched the Mill Hill one x2!
