"Tea Time" and Time for Tea

Tea Time here in Bumblebee Lane. Actually it is Christmas. In July I normally start my commission for Christmas Table Sets. I am awaiting UPS Gal to delivery fabrics in which the customer has selected and some designs for me to work with, What they would like to see on their napkins and tea cozies. lol

I have been trying to finish up on any projects that have been placed aside.

The above tea cozy is just that, I made the panels a few months ago, but could never really pull it together as the fabrics are brocades and in soft greys and golden green browns. I adored the fabrics. And then I was rummaging through my laces and found some ribbon trims I purchased from Joggles about a year ago, have never found a use for them. Well, later I went for my normal Double espresso coffee and passed the two and it just seemed to come together.
I found the liner that I purchased to go with the brocades and low and behold, another Tea Time Tea Cozy was produced.
As Christmas is just around the corner, literally for me. This was a fun and refreshing cozy. I happen to have dishes and several purple and violet dishes and when I put them for display to photo, Mr. Quality Control (dh) gave me the thumbs up.
All items listed on my blog and Picture trail can be found for sale (New buttons) and that's another story that was left behind in my long time away from my blog.....lol
SO if interested in purchasing this for yourself or that really funny old Auntie (you know the crazy one ...everybody seems to have one, I had two!) you can find the buy now buttons on

Stained Glass

Been busy ...This took a day and a half to get this far. I have the second part in the works.
This design is a tribute to all of the William Morris Fans out there. I love Peacocks and the
history around them. When I lived in Hawaii, there was a farm that they ran wild like rabbit ts,
Beautiful birds.This beauty was created by BFC Designs and all of Susan's Work is stunning!
I wish I could keep up with her. Susan and Fred (her son) produce 2 sets of designs per week, And they work on the large Art Frames in sections, If, your into Art Embroidery, Check out her sight, www.BFC-Creations.com It is well worth the money, in my opinion. She also has started a new "Stash" of threads. The majority of threads used in this design were from her sales.
Thanks Susan for your talents.
Before I forget, I was testing colors for the large stained glass, so if you think I was drunk in the selections from side to side...Your not right! I was testing to see what I liked the best....

right color leather and suede to start...

My Great Knockoff Purse !

THEN .....
I was lurking on one of the purse groups a day or so ago and one of the gals mentioned using shower curtains as liners.
I Thought at the time, something to think about..a day so so ago brought it to Friday and I was searching for a leather fabric to test another purse design on and ran across a sheet of plastic that I had been holding, it was for out door stuff...but never got to that one yet...


I also have been looking on line at all the designers and their fall lines.
Especially the Louis Vuitton and her little bucket clear view purse that is made from PVC and has an 8 inch drop of leather handles and is a7" wide by 8 inches high and retails for
$1,390 US dollars!
Yep, for such a little thing. Clear. with leather base and ohhhh...Please do not forget the cute little Logo name cell phone...and a leather purse ...Cute. Cute , Cute.
However, I would be lucky to every be seated next to one, lol
Any way, I got to thinking about the plastic PVC shower curtains...you know...and next thing
I am stitching out a fsl (free standing lace) design on this plastic stuff and low and behold I liked it!
Now with some leather bases and handles and a cute little phone holder.(wonder if I can get a Tero PDA holder???? and oh yes, the cosmetics case.

Boy, this blog stuff is hard to come up with great ideas .... so your stuck with this one. leaving you with smiles and moonbeams ....
