Time for Tea

I made these tea cosies a couple of weeks ago now. I wanted to do something with the felt tree's I had made.

I kind of really like them, but to be honest they were a right pain to make and really time consuming, neither of these of good enough quality to sell either.

So I don't think I will be making any more, as the time spent making them, versus the how much I can charge for them just doesn't add up. But thought I would show them anyway as they are nice and bright and its a very grey day!

Lollipop Tree's

I was struggling with a project at the weekend, so decided to move onto something completely different. I also wanted to move away from my sewing machine for a bit. I love hand embroidery and find it very relaxing, its also good way to get my head together. So I made these felt embroidery lollipop tree's.

They are an idea I have had for a while now, so its nice to finally bring them to life. I haven't decided what I am going to do with them yet, I have several ideas floating round my head, but it nice to sit and sew for a few hours.

Here are the original designs from my sketch book.
