First up here are some tea/coffee cup coasters.
sold
A little collection.....
Now all sold.
Made from linen and cotton. Place a teabag or two and send to a friend, who can then use it as a coaster while they sip there tea (or coffee) and think of you!
And here is little Teapot Tess....
you guessed it another sock monkey lol. She has teapots and teacups as decoration.
With her best friend Gertie. They like to chat and whisper secrets. (although Gertie's leg looks rather elongated in this photo they are both the same length!
Having a cuddle together.
The lace that I unpicked from this embroidered tablecloth which is here was waiting for me to do something with.So at last got the iron out and re-shaped it and it's now ready to go...
Now added to my little dresser.
Close UP
I stuck it down with double sided sellotape. I do have quite a bit more of the crochet....hmm where to put it!
(the dresser was originally a display unit for my jugs, somehow or other a lot of red bits have crept it.....can't think how. lol.
Making some progress on some wooden bits I'm putting together and hopefully will be able to show next time.
