Photographs, Afternoon Tea and a Tag
Hello All. What a day it has been here for weather. We walked along the seafront into town and the weather was glorious sunshine. When we got to town it was snowing and bitterly cold and we came back home on the bus. It has kept snowing on and off all day but not settled thank goodness
walking along the front into town
the gathering clouds
Let it Snow

At the Craft Room Challenge this time the theme is Afternoon Tea and they have a wonderful photograph if you need inspiration
I wondered if I would get my project finished in time for the challenge and I am pleased to say that I managed to finish it this afternoon
I decided to knit a tea cosie as we hadn't got one. The pattern was simple and I knitted some flowers to sew onto it as decoration. I also added the cupcake pin cushion that my daughter made for me a while ago. She made 50 of them and sold them for the Cat Protection Charity.

Last one today is my tag for Tag Tuesday this week where the subject is Kings and Queens
I let my mind run riot for the tag subject
I used a pack of cards.
The tag is based on the fact that Spades face in the opposite direction to all of the other picture cards. So because, I imagine, they must all be fed-up of seeing just the back of their partners head I let the Spades King and Queen and two others escape for afternoon tea. They had to cover their crowns to avoid detection. Must have been good to chat face to face with others. Now you know I am completely crazy :)
Hope the weather is ok where you are and your day is going well
Love Chrissie xx

Golly, so you've already had the promised snow. The temperature's definitely dropped a good few degrees here today, so we'll see.
ReplyDeleteOnto the makes... your tea cosy is so wonderful - absolutely perfect for the challenge, and then a cake to go with it - fantastic!
Love the tag too... nice work on allowing the Spades to join in the conversation.

Looks like a gorgeous walk into town...and snow? We were blessed today with autumn type weather of 60s, cool breezes, and sun.
ReplyDeleteI love the tea cozy, it's the sweetest! And your tag is a real delight. Outlining the hats was genius. Your creativity abounds every day.
Blessings to you, my friend,
