    Coffee before anything for me! It doesn’t need to be fancy as black is fine with me. I do like iced coffee too, with vanilla or chocolate syrups. Yum!

    As I’ve mentioned before, the sewing machine’s sound agitates me, so definitely herbal tisane, or green tea, maybe. lol

    Neither. I don’t drink coffee or tea but give me hot chocolate and it would be the start of a perfect sewing day.

    Tea is just perfect for anytime of the year, hot for any of the seasons and ice tea is perfect for any of the seasons…love ice tea all the time. I buy specialty tea at the Tea shop, blueberry is great.

    Definitely tea before sewing will get my juices flowing. Since I was a little girl, I have been drinking tea. My grandmother started serving me hot tea with milk and sugar when I was very young. She called it “Santa Claus Tea.” When I was twelve years old, one of my two favorite cousins married a girl from Oxford, England, who paid me lots of attention. I immediately began to drink tea with her. I never developed a taste for coffee, although I did give it a try in college. I was officially a TEA ADDICT early on and still LOVE it to this day. (Every morning I start the day with two cups.)Now, I have tea parties with my little granddaughters. (I am teaching them to sew as well as sewing for them. They range in age from nine to 2 1/2.) I think I have more fun than they do. It’s like being a little girl again.
