Anyway to warm up our thoughts, I've been thinking about cosy things. Like tea cosies, and plunger cosies.
Here are both views of one I made this weekend that is travelling all the way to the UK as a present for some people who have willow pattern china. It's crazy patched - I'm not usually a blue and white lover but I am LOVIN' this one and am going to make more. Also the whole toile thing, I LOVE it!
Now this set I made for my kitchen. It goes very well with it too. Suits the oranges and reds etc. However now I am in love with toiles I'm not so sure I love this. How can I be so fickle at my age??!!
This is a vegetarian calzone I made for a pie competition at work tomorrow. I've made it look pielike in case someone decides that calzone is not really a pie. Pick, pick, pick. I made a fern for the top as it is my company's emblem. It's very yummy too - aubergine, tomato, red onion, spinach, cheese and olives. YUM. So there you go, comfort food and cosies. Bring on the winter weather, I can hack it now! :)
I, on the other hand, am a blue and white lover and this cozy is fantastic. And the second one as well.
ReplyDeleteBlue and white is always a good thing! Your next kitchen can need a blue and white cozy :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd what company in NZ doesn't have a fern as its emblem?
Hmm, not sure I'll ever want a blue and white one of mine own, but I have put together are rather scrummy black and ivory set including striped ticking and a toile, and some black with rose madder in it, that I nearly did last night but got distracted making cupcakes. It always come down to cupcakes... ;-)
ReplyDeleteCosies are so cute... the coffee doesn't last long enough in my plunger to make the most of my pukeho cosie :( The tea cosy is a great gift idea. Hugs Jx
