Tea and stitching.

I've felt the urge to stitch for the first time in ages, hooray perhaps I've got my mojo back it's been long enough! I think sometimes when you feel a bit low the things you need to do to get you out of a rut seem to be the last things you want to do.
Vintage teapots, cups and saucers I love them and the tea that comes out of them. So I got out an old teapot that I love the shape of and started sketching, choosing, cutting and stitching. I also dug out an old frame that I forgot I had until I found it. As I used things I already had it was a free project too, lovely.



I'm going to hang it in the kitchen, I spend a lot of time in there (out of choice) it's my little sanctuary, I'm really pleased with it and I enjoyed making it. 
I've got to sort myself out before the christmas rush starts or I'll be in big trouble.

    That is really sweet! Isn't it satisfying to make something without having to buy ANYTHING!

    That is so cute Emma! Hmm, tea & stitching, what could be nicer? Sorry to hear you've been feeling a bit low, but hope you're enjoying the lazy summer days.
