Tea anyone?
I made the little teapot, cup and saucer and roses from fimo clay, I did not have the correct cutters to make a decent saucer but it was my first attempt, ( all you miniature artists look away now) LOL! I was pretty pleased with the little teapot, I had to make three to get it right but I absolutely loved making it, in fact I feel another addiction coming on!
My tea exchange to Jennifer has arrived, she has emailed me to say she loves it!
I was so pleased it arrived safely, I wonder how many cross stitchers hold their breath until the items finally arrive, I was thinking I might need oxygen I held my breath for that long!
I included a mahogany box with a fimo clay teapot and roses, a teabag holder, tea printed fabric and DMC threads that were perfumed with roses, apple and strawberries and a hanging heart ornament.
All cross stitch pattern information is available below but I cannot remember where I got the letter J for the mahogany box - I will try to find it and post it later.

I followed the Christel Jenson videos on You Tube for instructions on how to make the teapot, the roses were also a You Tube video, just type in fimo clay roses. 
I love anything pink and twinkly so Swarovski Crystals are a must, I also knew that Jennifer likes pink and green! The pattern for the heart is a freebie from Zoes blog here.
The teacup and saucer pattern is from 50 Tiny Tea Motifs pattern book by Jorja Hernandez, published by The American School of Needlework.
The letter J is a free pattern from Tempus Fugit blog here
I am now concentrating on my first blog anniversary for 31 July 2009 so please don't forget to return and join in the fun. I will post it on that date but I will not be drawing it until I return from my holidays in September, that wil give everyone a chance to leave a comment and not miss out!

Jennifer sent me one of my first ever exchanges last year, she made me a gorgeous mattress pincushion that I loved, you can see pictures here.
It was such fun stitching this for you Jennifer and I am very pleased you liked it.
I do hope you enjoy looking at my latest creations as much as I have enjoyed making them.

Great exchange!!! I wish I would have known about this exchange sooner. Is there a chance to still get involved??? I love tea so much. I started a tea exchange on the forum I visit regularly. Everybody involved has to stitch something tea realated and include samples of her favorite tea.
Oh girl!! This is an amazing exchange! Your clay work is just too cute for words!! I don't know how you can make something so small look so perfectly adorable! Beautifully finished box and ornie....such treasures!!
Wow what a beautiful exchange!!
Your tea exchange is really gorgeous. I love it how you did it with the fimo clay. I still have some fimo clay in my stash too. I should use it some day ;)
I have an award for you. Go take a look at my blog for it please.

Wendy
