recipe tea towel

I thought I would snap this pic before I added this to a shower gift. I make so much stuff , then move on to something new that I forget some of old ideas that I enjoyed making. This is my last  tea towel, so I think I need to make some more. I will put it on my list with the other billion things that I need to do.

Mod podge fun

http://graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/ I made this after seeing one on the Graphic Fairy's  page. I LOVE the Graphics Fairy .  Mod Podge  it is such a relaxing and therapeutic thing to play with. I would like a few more flowers in the cone, but  I need to buy some first. Maybe I will make a few more as gifts for friends. I guess I had better buy lots of flowers.

Tea Cozy

I  used a felted sweater and printed the flag thanks to the Graphics Fairy, added ribbon and tassel and I am now ready for a jolly good tea break.
