Tea for two

Published by

  A gift for a special little girl. I got the original pattern from here. However, inspired by the Disney movie Beauty and the Beast, I wanted to give the finished teapot and cups each some eyes and character. Only trouble was hiding the backs of the safety eyes.   I decided to crochet little disks of ‘tea’, which I attached to the tops of the teapot and cups, and this then meant I was able to stuff them. Next the biscuits! Well of course! I managed to work up my own versions of  a Jammy Dodger, Custard Cream and chocolate chip cookie before finding a lovely YouTube tutorial and a cupcake magically appeared! Afternoon tea anyone?

A little mouse went fishing one day…

  A friend’s son collects toy mice and it was his birthday recently. Feeling inspired and having a deadline (which always helps motivate!) I got creating and this little chap appeared. I was really chuffed! I was initially inspired by this Pinterest image but decided to turn his leaf into a boat instead of a bed. Suddenly I couldn’t stop! Almost immediately he had acquired a fishing rod, complete with cheese and his would be bedding became a picnic blanket. Then he needed a bag and finally a friend to share his adventures! x
