My Last Tea Party For Now....Maybe

I really don't miss seeing snow at all, when it DOES snow I act like a kid because it is so rare but I do not go out to play in it, too cold for me. However, I couldn't resist this cute, "Let It Snow" file of Deena's at Ewe-N-Me-Printables.

 


I quilled up a few snowmen, I did cheat a bit on their hats, eyes and, "buttons" because I really didn't like the look of the quilled hats, eyes and, "buttons" so I cut some tiny top hats with my Cricut, added blue jewels for the eyes and some Enamel Accents for the, "buttons".

 
It did snow up on the mountains I can see out of my craft room window but all we got was rain and a bit of hail. The snowflake brads are from my stash, I cut off the prongs on the backs and attached them with some heavy duty glue.

 
This snowman looks like he had a bit too much Bailey's Irish Cream in his tea.
 
The snowflakes are from my BFF, Renee from Plum Purdy who I visited over the summer in South Carolina and gave her a hand at a decorative painting convention in Ohio called, "HOOT". I actually really enjoyed having to get up and go to, "work" every day of the convention despite my aching joints.
 
The teaware is part of my collection, my favorite line of teaware, Queen Anne from England made around 1950. 
 
Thank you for stopping by to take a look.

It's a Tea Party!!!!!!!!!

Time for more fun with Deena's Tea Bag Envelopes at Ewe-N-Me Printables this time I choose this darling little file.

 
You get 2 envelopes on each sheet and you can print as many as you need.
 
I combined Deena's file with some quilling, as you can see I still need a lot of practice with my quilling.
 
 
It is so darned cold here in NW Arizona, the first winter we were here was beautiful and really warm but ever since then the winters have been cold and this one is the coldest. It is even cold down in Phoenix.

 
I used my quilling, "skills" (ha ha) on the little teapot and cup.



I want to spend some time working on my quilling skills, I had gotten to be fairly good at it when I was doing it all the time, it is one of those things that if you don't do any for a while you need to practice.

The cup was a gift from my pen pal/girlfriend Pat who lives in Indiana. On our way West we were able to stop to meet her for lunch. We had a great time and hated to leave but we really didn't have the time to take our time, we wanted to make sure we arrived before our furniture did.

Thank you for stopping by to take a look.
