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!
Coffee before, during, and after, please!
Depends on the time of day. Coffee in the morning, tea the rest of the day.
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.
Definitely coffee. I sew from 3 to 6 AM and need the high octane stuff to prop my eyelids!
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.
Tea – Earl Grey Hot, the only civilized way to start the day! 🙂
Always coffee in the mornings, but iced tea in the afternoon.
Coffee first, tea later
Coffee first gets me started then when I am done and satisfied with my project a nice relaxing cup of tea.
Definitely tea goes with sewing!
Definitely coffee – I need all the caffeine I can get before I sew. Thanks!
Coffee to start the day, water from there on out.
This is as cute as it can be!! I am going to give it a try one of these days!
Coffee, I need the pick me up to make sure I’m focused!
Tea in a pretty cup! Then water at room temperature and maybe a coffe mid afternoon.
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.
Tea, iced most of the day, hot tea on cold evenings
It’s always tea for me!
Coffee in the morning, sweet tea in the afternoon.
Neither for me, unless it’s coffee-flavored vegan ice cream!
I prefer coffee but being pregnant right now means no coffee and only some teas for a long while.
Neither, I’m a Pepsi gal. Jadahlgr at Yahoo dot Com
Iced tea before, during, and after!
