Weddings & Chickens!

In the past week my range of cosies has seen a couple of new additions. Firstly a new Mr & Mrs tea cosy (with a coffee cosy to follow in the next few days!) that co-ordinates wonderfully with my Mr & Mrs egg cosies. Inspired by vintage lace and classic wedding dresses it makes a lovely wedding gift.

Each is individually handmade from beautiful ivory linen with a red ticking lining. The front and back of the cosy feature 'Mr & Mrs' stitched handwriting and a pretty quilted-effect floral design.

The second new design I've been working on is... chickens!! I have had customers asking me on numerous occasions for a chicken design, so here it is! This week I made my first couple of egg cosies and in the next few days I will also be adding a tea and coffee cosy. Check my website in a few days to see the full range of 'chicken' cosies! x

"The Sunday Post" - Bath Coffee Festival Edition

It's been a fantastic weekend at the Bath Coffee Festival, and I can still smell the scent of coffee wafting around me! We saw rain and shine in Bath, and in no way did any adverse weather put off visitors to the UK's first Coffee Festival at the Recreation Ground. The 60metre marquee did us proud and housed delicious coffee roasters, food and drink stands, and other delights. I have three big thank you's for this weekend... firstly to my amazing family/assistants, the guys at Origin Coffee for my delicious daily latte fix, and finally to Sweet Treats for my marshmallow and caramel intake :) I'm off to catch up on some much-needed sleep, if I haven't overdone my daily caffeine quota (this is highly likely)... x

'coffee beans'

The 'coffee beans' are finally here! My new 'coffee beans' cosy is available in two sumptuous colourways, mocha and cream. I'm so pleased and excited to add them to my range, I hope you like them too. Both hand made from beautiful linen and individually stitched, to view details of the two cosies in my shop click here.

P.S. If you have friends who also like stitching, wonderful fabrics, and general textiles-type talk, plus a bit of food thrown in for good measure, do pass on the link to my blog, www.stitchtales.blogspot.com.
