Teacups, teacups everywhere, but not a drop to drink.




I've been making teacup pincushions for my ETSY shop and they keep getting bigger and bigger. I made the pattern after the first teacup (from my profile picture) and even though I use the same pattern each time, they just keep growing. Maybe I should surrender to the trend and see how big they will end up.





Eventually I will be making teacup chairs and sofas with matching slipcovers!

Hi - i just discovered your Etsy shop, looked at your profile there, and jumped over here to your blog.

I LOVE your use of old linens on drawstring bags, etc. ..... and these teacups are great too.

I am seriously afraid I'm going to copy your ideas ... so I'm contacting you right away, to prevent myself from doing it!!

I have lots of old non-family linens (can't cut up the family stuff) and you have given me ideas about appliqueing different shapes. Your undies are so sweet. (nothing personal ...)

Good luck with your etsy shop !!! I marked you as a favorite.
