You know it's cold when you're worried about keeping your tea warm. Here's the first project created from the mass of felty sweaters I have. I'm not quite happy with it. Originally the thought was to have the roses tightly together, encircling the entire bottom of the tea cozy. But, as is usually the case when I make something, I got sick of doing the same thing over and over again and by the fifth rose I had had enough. It's always surprising to me, and a bit disappointing, how tedious I find trying to be creative to be. MAYBE one more rose will (eventually) get attached onto the right edge. Then again, maybe not.
A blog about thinking about stuff---big, clumsy, strange, heavy stuff. And making stuff--big, clumsy, strange, heavy stuff. And weird stuff, too. And maybe other stuff that I haven't thought much about at all but that might be important in a not so obvious way.
