Rosy Tea Cosy

Hello Everyone!

As usual it's been

 coming up roses

 around here once again.

And I love

tea cosies

almost as much as I love

roses!

So ~

a

Rosy Tea Cosy

always makes me squeal with delight :)

One thing I really like about this one

is that it's just as pretty from

the back

as it is from

 the front.

It's even pretty from the side!

And not much is lovelier

or more feminine

than the lacy look

of crocheted shells.

The pattern didn't call for leaves

but I usually like to include them

around my roses

if possible.

And once I sewed the roses on

it just didn't look quite complete

without leaves.

So I used a pattern written and posted by

the lovely

and creative

Olga

at

Lacy Crochet

{thanks for all your wonderful inspiration and pattern sharing!}

I like the sweet, genteel look

it adds to my kitchen china cabinet.

I feel the freshness of

 Spring

and the hope of

Summer

every time I glance at it.

 

Several days ago

Sarah

from

Sarahsweethearts

said to

"go have a beautiful day and crochet something fabulous".

Thanks for the inspiration!

Hope you like what I came up with.

Sweetheart Mitts

The time has finally come that I can show you the

Sweetheart Mitts

I made for

 Sarah

as her gift from my

Blog Anniversary Give Away.

She requested something

*pink*

&

knitted

I thought something with a heart would suit her well

since her blog is called

Sarahsweethearts

I can show them to you now because I know she has received them.

Wear them in much

happiness

Sarah!

They were knit using Berroco Vintage yarn.

It is soft & warm & machine washable.

And as you can see

it has good yardage.

My darling daughter

Chelsea

modeled them for this picture.

They are kind of small and delicate.

Just right for going into Spring.

The little lacework heart

was just the right touch!

Hope you are all having a wonderful start to your week

wherever you are.

And

most of all

I pray

you have hearts

that are

full

of

Love.

It's Time!

I'm SO

EXCITED!

The time has finally come

for me to

choose

&

reveal

a

WINNER

So ~

First I wrote down all the names on little pieces of paper

Then I folded them tight

&

 tossed them into a bowl

And I grabbed my sweet little granddaughter

Gabriella

Who was more than happy to choose a piece of paper

Don't you love the chipped up nailpolish?!

OH!

Back to business ~

Hmmmmm.......

Whose name did she pull out?

Well ~

Let's see.....

Looks like the

WINNER

is

SARAH

from

 Sarahsweethearts...

 

CONGRATULATIONS

Sweet Sarah!

 

Hmmm......

now... what to make?

You want something in

pink

either

knitted

or

crocheted

And any fiber will work.

Okie Dokie Girlie!

My creative wheels are turning :)))

 

And thanks so much to all of you for joining in the FUN!

I really enjoyed it.

So much so that I can't wait to do it again!

Happy Weekend To You All
