Ive been crazy about tea cozy's since making one for my friend. The first two were made for the Katherine Museum Fundraiser which raised $190. I laughed when I heard that because they did take me 2 day to make and I was expecting maybe $5 each. The third one was for my dad and I'm not sure he really wants to serve tea to the boys with it but felt the need to show off my needlework skills to him. There seams to be two kinds of people in the world - those that like tea cozy's and those that hate them. Ive noticed this when doing surreptitious surveys on people who I thought Id like to make one for and found that their whole attitude changes when talking about these harmless little pieces of decoration and thermal protection. Those that are all for them go all soft and mushy and smile when discussing them and the others get all stiff and put frowns on there faces and try to think of a polite way of say they are irrelevant and a waste of time. Anything that can cause reactions like that is worthy of my attention. I love it when people feel stuff.

We always had a tea cosy on our tea pot at home - I guess they were more important when you lived somewhere that got cold. I think they look great - am actually considering buying a teapot so I can have one with a jacket on
You know that I'm a lover of the tea cosy (giving you your birthday one) so you will understand that the highlight of my week is getting up early on a Sunday, making that first pot, putting on her dress and then sitting outside while the birds are singing and knowing that all is right in the world.
