Tea Cosies, Decisions and Movember

Good morning everyone and a very warm welcome to a couple of new followers. Before I start I'd like to know who is switching the lights off in the mornings, isn't it grim?!!

I was busy beavering away making tea cosies yesterday and I thought you might like to see.....


Had lots of fun thinking.......






.......snipping and placing .......





and sewing ........

.......a pink one...






and a red gingham one........







............and a little house one.







All now listed in Folksy. My needlecases have been popular and so todays' chores are to make a fresh batch but there again, I also received a nice big box in the post a few days ago








inside were these.......






...........and so I need to put them to good use as well. Decisions, decisions.


Before I bid you farewell, spare a thought for me won't you as I'm having to put up with this at the moment....







....well I'm not, my hubby is (tee hee). Whilst I'm all for supporting a good cause, why did he have to go for the 'trucker special'!! Seriously though I am very proud of him and after galavanising his work colleagues they've managed to raise a few hundred so far. Well done OHx

Speaking of good things why not pop over to Pickle Lily's blog, she's got a giveaway on at the moment and it's one not to be missed.

That's all for now, but do come back tomorrow when I can share with you what I gave to my friend for her birthday. I'm going out tonight to help her to celebrate and I know she sometimes dips into this blog so I can't show you just yet.

Have a lovely weekend and massive thank you to you all for visiting this week, I've loved reading your comments and your blogs and really appreciate my bloggy mates!

  2. Hello Caroline:
    The tea cosies are super. We particularly like the way that you introduce the gingham fabric, it lifts the whole thing. The red is very jolly!
