My creative space....

is a very genteel one this week!! Time for High Tea I think!! Tiny cucumber sandwiches and tea from a proper teapot!!
Have made another tea cosy, this time with my vintage fabrics and an appliqued little bird.
I'm pleased with the colours of this one - and yet, you know what it's like when you are almost out of a favourite fabric!!!
Want to use it - but don't want to!!! Tis the same for both my Grandma's curtain fabric and the wonderful red striped one unfortunately!! But there it is!!
It's a bit like when you're reading a brilliant book, isn't it? You want to carry on, but the nearer you get to the end, you want to slow down and not let it end!!!!
Enough waffling!! Have a lovely creative day and see some more creative spaces here.

    I agree about the book though. I love getting into a book, but once I love it I don't want it to end :)

  9. Lovely lovely... might go grab a cuppa myself now... but I don't think it will be as sweet an affair as what you got going on.

  12. Such an awful feeling, coming to the end of a food book and I find it takes a while to find another after.
    Another lovely tea cosy, gorgeous fabrics.
    My vintage pile is looking a little sad and although feeling the need to make more cushions from it I really don't want to use it up.
