May is our annual Tea and Stitches Tea Party. This year we will be up cycling a Teacup and Saucer or Teaspoon into a Pincushion! I just love useful sewing notions. I can’t wait to see what our Tea Party guests design.

Playing in my wooly sandbox to kit up this felted wool appliqué candle mat in preparation for a workshop. Aren’t the colors awesome? This project is a great showcase for my hand dyed wools. I am sure we all have memories of a wonderful beach trip! Why not stitch those memories into a fun project? I used my favorite Sizzix.com machines and steel rule Dies to cutout these motifs. Cut something out and create!
What could be better than Tea and stitching fellowship? Not much in my little world! Sizzix.com has a couple of great Teacup Dies and I created a fun make ‘n take Teacup Needle Book with Bigz Die 658093, Flower embellishments 657722. You might think that a die cut project is pretty cookie cutter, but you would be wrong. My stitching friends blow me away everytime with their creativity. Here is a sampling of their progress today at our open house Tea in the Pretty Penny Precuts Studio. Die cut something soon and create! May your needle always be sharp and threaded.
Hopefully you survived last week’s threatened snowmagedon! Here is a photo of my Frosty Fun table scape made with felted wool die cuts from Sizzix steel rule dies. Time to put the snowflakes away and decorate for Valentines.
Great gift for you stitching friends.
Do you have handmade gifts planned for your sewing friends? Locked in my mind forever are these words from my lovely mother Annette “if I can’t eat it, wear it or spend it I don’t want it!” LOL. To this end I created this little Scissor Holder Needle Minder combination. Hope you can fit in plenty of stitching with your Christmas preparations.
Felted Wool Applique, Sizzix die cuts Mini Bunny and retired Egg die. Hand dyed eggs and felted grass.
Do you have a favorite Easter Egg Hunt memory? Both my Mom and my paternal Grandmother Vada sure made Easter a magical time with tons of eggs to find and of course that money filled golden egg.
