Remember my middle child that recently had a birthday? Well I was just visiting her and her husband who are great tea drinkers. I realized there was something missing as I wrapped their tea pot with a tea towel to keep it warm. Haha! An idea was born! When I got home I went to work needle felting a tea cozy design. Since she has to endure long, long cold, actually freezing cold winter months, I decided to remind her of the brighter and fairer months by felting some flowers on one side and an apple tree on the other.
One side
And the other.
I used a plastic resist to separate the sides and went to work felting it.
Sheep's wool + boiling water + soap + friction = Felt
One side.
And the other.
The best part was.....she liked it!
I loved it! My tea pot has never felt so warm.
