Felted Tea Cozy

I made this tea cozy for a friend in November for her birthday, actually was my summer project.  I forgot to take a photo of it so had to have her do it for me. The Colour  is way out of my comfort zone but I was very please with it after all was said and done.  It took Ann a few days to wonder why I did it that colour as it does go well with her new kitchen after all.  ; ) Now I want to make one for my little tea pot.  Maybe lime green for me, or grey with  red poppies on it .  Learning to step outside my comfort zone baby steps at a time and taking my friends with me too ; )

Happy January 4th

miniatures

Happy New Year!!  I hope that 2013 is full of hope and peace and love for you all.

I thought I would post pictures of some of the miniatures that I gave for Christmas and a couple of pictures of what I got .  My old camera does not take the best photos but hope you can see some of the little gifts.  I have learned that I am not good with close ups of some of the tiny ornaments so you will just have to take my word that they are wonderful. Top two photos are things I gave to a friend, the southwest fabric is in blue and also in brown and I think that both of us will have fun with this fabric, third photo is what she gave me  and christmas tree and a few ornaments from another club member.  The fourth photos is from our club gift exchange. Isn't it a lovely ornament?  She also enclose the little house as well.  It will find a home in a gift store I am working on (thinking about) ; )

I love it when people know your hobbies and find the perfect gift.  I know I watch all year for little things for my miniature friends at Christmas or for their birthday.  They do not care that the fabric has been shared with me, at least I do not think that they do.

So here is to a new year of finishing off UFOs and enjoying the miniature community online and at our clubs.

    Thanks for looking   J
