Just a quick post to introduce you to ...

Ewephemia - never Effie if you don't mind. 

Ewephemia is a door stop and will do stirling duty in the summer when we want those doors to stay open.  She will be available shortly at our Etsy Shop  She will be sent out with an empty tummy which will need filling with rice and this is safely held in her lining which is sealed with a hook and loop fastening.  Ewenice and Ewestace are very happy indeed to have a new playmate.

Weather still bad - too grey for new photos ...

... but that isn't a problem because the Sheep Tea Cosy kits are fininshed and I took the photos inside!  So what does the kit look like?

Da dah

So many patterns are made for very large tea-pots so, after a little market research,  I made this for 2 pint pots which seem to be the popular ones.  The kit will probably go on Etsy but we will certainly take a few if/when we do our first fair.

Having mastered (?) loading a video on here I thought you might like to see the sheep waggling its ears (you have to look very carefully).  OK, so I am easily amused but here it is:

I must thank the members of the Debbie Shore's Shortcuts to Sewing Forum for helping with the names, particularly Bossymama who came up with Ewestace and Ewenice

And a romantic vingnette of Ewestace and Ewenice together.

 Have a good week and see you all next Tuesday.

And Finally I've Finished ...

The Christmas Stockings I have been knitting.  I've really enjoyed making them and hope you find them fun too.

I just want to make one of the cable ones in the red and then I have the complete set!

And now for some knitting

I have a little one person teapot and I decided to design a tea cosy especially for it!

I used the bubble or bobble stitch and highlighted each one with white.  I made it in one piece rather then the normal two as I don't think joins add to such a small piece and the hole for the spout looks neater that way.  The coin in front is a £1 one just to give you an idea of the size of the pot - it's not what I charge for a cuppa!
