Tag Archives: Wild Tea Cosies

Here is the tea cosy I made for a friend, S, for her birthday last year.  It is made using the pattern Harlequin Flower, with a few minor modifications, from the book Wild Tea Cosies, by Loani Prior.
I just love the soft feminine pretty colours of this tea cosy, and the whole style and shape of this pattern.  The little crocheted bell flowers were a tiny amount of crochet that I can cope with; crochet is not my forte, for sure and I struggle with each stitch…
If I was going to make any more tea cosies (and I’m not, I’ve only got one more to show you and then that’s it with the tea cosies!!) then I would choose this pattern, as I think it’s really cute and looks adorable on the teapot.

Here is the tea cosy I made for my friend K for her birthday last year.  It is the last of the Roly Poly’s I made from the excellent book, “Wild Tea Cosies” by Loani Prior.
My friend K is the most highly organised lady I know.  She is also thoughtful, caring and considerate, and a really good true friend, in fact she’s one of those people that others are naturally drawn to and want to be her friend.

Geez.  I may be going crazy here, but every, like every time I proofread my blog post before, and, er, frequently after posting too, I have written “form’ for “from”.  It’s like a conspiracy.  I swear.  A sly, devious, computer keyboard conspiracy designed to do my head in.  It’s getting to be kind of hilarious, in a slightly insane way….
oh, happy Valentine’s Day, all!  I hope everyone enjoys time with a special someone….  
We’re going on a romantic candlelit picnic down by the foreshore this evening, so I’ll post pics of my outfit tomorrow…

Here is the tea cosy I made for my sister-in-law A for her birthday last year, photographed in her kitchen amongst some of her adorable knick-knacks.  She has their house full of beautiful things, so wherever you look is yet another beautiful vignette of lovely objects arranged just so.  I think if she chose she could have been an interior designer, or a photographic stylist as she really has the “eye”.  I chose these warm earthy colours for her cosy as they are very indicative of her warm, earthy personality; she has a big heart and a caring, friendly demeanour that impels people to warm to her immediately.  The pattern is a Roly Poly, from the book “Wild Tea Cosies” by Loani Prior.
The little blue milk jug at the back is also made by a family member, but I’m not sure now which one.  My father, my aunt and my brother have all made beautiful pottery pieces, which are treasured by all of us, so it is the work of one of them, must make it my mission to find out.

Here is the tea cosy I made for my friend T for her birthday.  It is the Roly Poly pattern (again!) from Wild Tea Cosies by Loani Prior.  I know, I know, so many Roly Polies, but they are cute, no?
