keeping cosy

when the spring winds are howling you need something to keep you warm, so



from this



to this - too tall



too skinny



just right ....... a cafetiere cosy to match the tea cosies.





I'm going to join in at a friends open house tomorrow, tea cosies and tote bags in tow.....

and when I've not been tea cosying there's been more crochet,



Val sent me this little flower she made, isn't it gorgeous, I've pinned it on my spring fleece jacket and I've been making something to send back,



no not the mess, although she's welcome to it........

    Oh Lordy, I have enough mess of my own. Actually, who am I kidding, a bit more wouldn't even be noticed in the junkhole ... sorry, spare room.

    One of Val's flowers plopped through my letterbox a few weeks ago too - gorgeous aren't they?

    Cafetiere cosies? What a fab idea. I LOVE the vintage-style floral one.

    Ooh, whoever ends up being the recipients of those new-style cozies will be lucky indeed. I don't know what I ever did before I had MY Tess-made cozy.

    Now I just need to come up with some kind of craft to offer Val in exchange for one of those flowers...

    They look lovely! And the cafetiere cosy is a super idea. The cafetiere definitely gets far more use than the teapot in our house! K x

    Hi. Loving your blog. I used to have a bit of a thing about egg cosies (I blame Laura Ashley). I used to make them for gifts for everyones birthday's. Can you remember when Laura Ashley used to sell the ready quilted fabric? I could have wept when they stopped selling it. xx
