Tea & biscuits anyone? This was such a fun project. The biscuits & cupcakes look good enough to eat.
The 3rd Tea Cosy, of a number I’ve been working on these past months. I will post one more in the following days as I get photos done. Enjoy & be inspired.
Who doesn’t love a Cactus Garden? I’m always inspired by the beautiful textures & forms of these amazing plants.
The 2nd Tea Cosy, of a number I’ve been working on these past months. I will post more over the following days as I get photos done. Enjoy & be inspired.
This is the first of a number of Tea Cosies I’ve been working on these past months. I will post more over the following days as I get photos done. I love the little Budgies sitting among the Aussie flora.
Due to being rather time poor, I don’t usually take on custom orders, mainly to avoid disappoint when expectations can’t be met.
But then, I met a lovely lady at Knitfest. She was very enthusiastic about my work & asked if I’d create an Aussie Floral Tea Cosy for her. I decided to take on the challenge & I’m very happy with the result.
The Tea Cosy body crocheted with double thread hand spun yarn & embellished with wet felted & crocheted flowers & leaves.
It’s been quite an exciting couple of months of competitions for me with the ‘Alice Springs Beanie Festival’, ‘Maleny Knitfest’ & the latest being the ‘Landsborough Inaugural Tea Cosy/Beanie Challenge’ that was held in conjunction with the 50th Anniversary of the naming of the Sunshine Coast, at the Landsborough School of Arts Memorial Hall & organised by Caroline Payne, a tireless volunteer of the Landsborough Hall & Market, (held every Saturday at the hall). This is the first year for this Tea Cosy/Beanie competition & from the encouraging response of entries it won’t be the last… hopefully, it can become a yearly event…
So… I thought it might be a bit of fun to post some pics of my own Tea Cosies (past & present) to inspire & make you smile… some will be familiar as they’ve been posted before, nevertheless, this is a little gallery for you to enjoy!
