Something pretty for coffee or tea

 

When friends wander this way and find themselves at the door ,

 it's always a good time for a cup of coffee

or a cup of tea.

I like to have something pretty to serve with the drinks or the treats.

I made a few granny square coasters that are just the perfect size for 

and mug of cup.  They work up very quickly.  You can find any pattern that suits 

your style on Youtube. 

So tell me..........which do you prefer?

Coffee or tea??

I would love to hear.

January

 

A new calendar for the new year has taken its place on the wall and a new month of the new year is already at its end.........

where does the time manage to go?.....I wonder. I look back on the old year with gratitude and  with many wonderful memories....what fun this past year brought to us!

Winter , here, has been dry, very dry......too dry with  days of  sun, and nights with extreme cold, and then days of pleasant sun and warmth with nights not so frigid.  This weather tries to encourage me to abandon my needle and the comfort of my sewing space to put my hands to work where much work is needed to be done......outside.

Just for awhile, I ignore the perfect weather conditions and decide to make a pair of whimsical bunnies.

I have an idea in my mind to create a whimsical box for this couple

Fixing a wardrobe, some bunny home comforts.....maybe a baby bunny....or two...or three....or four??

As for resolutions for the new year.....I choose not to have them these days.  There are the same things that I must do....many from last year in waiting....things that I hope to create, complete, and techniques I want to learn. I still have a stash of wonderful projects, unfinished and not yet started,  lying in wait.....and then there are the countless projects waiting inside of the pages of the books sitting in wait on the shelf.   I guess if I were to label anything from the list of things I need to do......I would like to call them "accomplishments" for if I am to ever get them completely finished.......that would certainly be an accomplishment!

I personally start this year with gratitude and contentment, with a hope of peace to stay with us throughout each day that comes.

So tell me........do you have resolutions?  Do  you have unfinished projects you would like to finish....or new ones to begin? I would love to hear.

Here's wishing you days full of creative energy and imagination to create what your heart desires!
