I just got this beautiful bag in the shop. It's from the 60's and in perfect condition. It's entirely hand beaded - one of those things I want to keep for myself!

New Slippers


Wool slippers


Tea cozy


Tea cozy


The Diamond

I made myself some new red wool slippers. Trying to stay warm!
And I made a cozy for my teapot out of a gray wool sweater with cotton fabric inside. I put a mylar liner in it and the tea stays sooooo hot!
And it's snowing again:-)

Clam shells

Here are some new things in the shop. I really like old silver.
And the clam shells make great little plates for fish or dessert.

Teapot Cozies


Tea cozies


Tea cozies

I've been making teapot cozies out of felted wool sweaters. The padding is two layers of batting with a thin layer of mylar sandwiched in between. Mylar is the stuff they make space suits out of and it really keeps the tea hot! And then I lined them with cotton fabric. I made one for myself too. Nice hot cups of tea!
