It's tea time

What a relief it's the end of the week, a big happy hello to all of you kind people who pop by and leave sweet comments. I am just brimming with relief as today I had to present a 2 hour workshop on 'goal negotiating' to my colleagues at our clinical away day! Phew,I can feel the stress leaving as we speak, changing human behaviour is one difficult task.

Now, enough of that lets talk tea, tea pots, tea cups, cakes, cake stands, teaspoons, cake forks, doilies, Victoria sponge .... oh the list could go on and on. I am partial to a cuppa or two {or ahem 3,4,..7} and I get rather irrational if I have not had my tea fix! I am not a huge coffee drinker but I think I can parallel my cravings and desire for tea with that of coffee lovers. What do you think ? Any other tea maniacs out there ?

And then there is the subject of keeping one's tea warm... which leads nicely into my latest make {I hope you have picked up the hints over my last two posts?} for my sister-in-law's handmade wedding pressie tomorrow. I'm so excited about it, it's thrilled me to the core making this. So here goes...

First a  pretty card and paper

One naked looking chilly teapot

Ta dah... one cozy dressed, tarted up delicious tea pot xox

Oooh I love you raspberry tea cozy I do

Do you like my crochet flower and leaves?

and there is my little blue bird of happiness peeking over the side

The pattern for this tea cozy is on ravelry.com and if you type in tea cozy in the free patterns section you will find about 24 if I can remember correctly, one of which is this incredibly easy peasy pattern which looks impressive but I am convinced all beginners could easily do. I feel another one coming on, maybe of the blue persuasion.

Oh happy day, that's all folks, have a lovely weekend everyone, I've got me a wedding to get to xox
