Tea & Leaf Tuesday....

It's feeling a bit more like a "normal" Tuesday today....

...because the pills have helped me to get some sleep...

...so I'm packing my bag for choir tonight.

I've missed FOUR WEEKS with my bonkers little group...

...and I'll be glad to see them again!

Bloke bought me a "Bouquet of Flowers" for Christmas...

...in a tiny tin with "Kusmi" on it...

...and that's what is in my Portmeirion tea cup today.

Flowery (of course) and delicious...

...and making me feel ever-such-a-bit spoiled.

On the leaf is another little crocheted pot...

..made in creamy-white cotton and linen mix that was then dip-dyed yellow/orange/turquoise...
 

...beaded and finally stiffened with acrylic medium.

Looks and feels like a little Mexican basket :-)

Tea & Leaf Tuesday.....

I'm on a French theme for the tea part at least....

...because on the day we met up with our friends in Paris...

...as we came up from the Metro station nearest Monmartre....

...the first thing I saw was the Kusmi Tea Shop!!!

So, it had to be done didn't it....

....the purchase of a pack of green teas...

...to go with the pack of Russian teas Bloke gave me for Christmas! :-)

Today's indulgence is "Green Tea with Strawberry"

(Don't you just looooooooove those little tins?!)

...which almost completes the French theme...

...apart from telling you that the first "French collage" has been completed...

...and will be blogged later in the week. :-)

Now to the leaf....

...and for this part we travel to Meso-america...

...for this little pot that I crocheted in linen warp and embellished with turquoise chips.

I dipped it in dye and finally stiffened it with matt varnish.

It sits next to the sewing machine catching all the thread ends.....

...of which there are plenty!


Cheers m'Dears....
