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?

it's time to get cosy...

Husband and I are in the throws of starting up an espresso bar in a small bead shop that I own. Of course it's gonna be cute and quirky with a bit of a junk shop theme; a bit like the bead shop. Also, as we are tea snobs, we have to do leaf tea in tea pots with cute little cosies. I've never made a tea cosy before, so I'm on a bit of a steep learning curve. Here's a pic of my first attempt at making one of our small teapots rather cute.
