Cosy tea

We had a lovely time with Jacob. What a sweet little boy and such fun! 2 years and 3 months and he talks like a parrot. The best thing was - "Whotcha doin' guys?" when he was watching us do anything.

Serious 'bedhead' opening his Easter egg.
Remember the little egg cosy? Well I enlarged it and made this tea cosy.

Perfect for my teapot and keeping my Rooibus(Redbush) tea hot. I used exactly the same principle as the egg cosy but bigger. I know you can get all sorts of padding for cosies including reflective stuff but I used quilters fleece and it works very well.

Ooh ooh ooh have I told you about my exhibition? The museum in Cirencester, called the Corinium Museum, has quite a large and very nice exhibition space which is used for Art and Crafts exhibits. I was asked if I would be interested in exhibiting my bags, purses etc. (If ???) So I'm booked for December 2008/Jan-Feb 2009. Most of what I'm making now is for that event. Everything will be for sale so I'm hoping to make a bit of money too. In the past I have made Roman costumes for the museum. Here's a preview of a couple of the things I'm making. Feel free to comment to say whether you think they will be good sellers or not.
