Well hello there...

Here are my ramblings about nothing in particular. You're about to be bored by notes and pix on my obsessions with and addictions to op shopping, crochet, polka dots, beads, vintage fabric or other treasures. Stay a while and enjoy and come back sometime.

four funky ladies for tea

Here are the first four tea cosies that I have crocheted. More to come...but I think I shot out of the gates so quickly that I need a bit of a rest from tea cosying. So I thought I'd do some flowers to cover a cushion for the couch. It's not finished yet as I have to sew it onto the cushion, but I'm loving it sick so far. Thanks to Lucy at Attic 24 for the pattern and oceans of inspiration.

the tea cosy tally...

so far totals 4. I went on a bit of a tea cosy frenzy last week but have to take a break and do some granny square therapy as I haven't granny squared for a bit. I've been busy doing these before I had the almost fatal dose of tea cosy interuptus....



and this was the start of a cushion but the colours were all wrong, so it's morphed into a pin cushion which I am completely in love with...and how sadly exciting was it that all my fine needles have a home in the large holes of the vintage button in the centre. Should I be scared of myself?
