Fancy a cuppa?



Fancy coming over for a cuppa?



I serve healthy tea... but watch out for the pins! :-)



This is the pincushion I made for my lovely blogging buddy,
Mai. We decided to do a pincushion swap a few months back. Click here to see the amazing creation that Mai made for me. :-)



The pincushion was made from a pattern called 'High Tea' by
Cynthia Martin of Tasmania. I purchased the pattern from Kirkbride Quilting.

As for the little pin topper, I made it from air-dry clay and a polymer clay mould, then painted it with acrylic paints before giving it a satin varnish.

I am fixated with pin toppers at the moment - check out
this link to see my favourite pin-topper creator - Pinks & Needles!! I promise you won't be disapointed! :-)

So... all I need to know now is....

When shall I pop that kettle on???


Hugs! Vikki

Hi Vikki,

I'll also put in an order for that very cute pin cushion cup and some of those pin toppers.

I've never seen or heard of them before-oh where have I been?
