Hey Linda, I guess 10 is a lot, but before my hubby passed away, he was a pastor. A couple times a year would have a tea party for all the ladies in the church. As some liked black others like herbal tianes, I would make a variety of tea, hence the number of tea pots. A few are smallish just right for me and afternoon tea. I love tea time and love making it a special time of the day. I won't tell you how many tea cups I have.
For tomorrow and its needs I do not pray, but keep me, guide me, love me, Lord just for today. St. Augustine
I'd love to have a tea party one of these days. We have a few nice tea houses here, but I never get to them! :( Maybe I can drag Kenny to one for tea and some scones.
I received my tea cozy today. My husband called it a tea toasty. I told him to get back in the basement and go play with your trains! Debby, this tea cozy is beautiful! I love it. And the loose tea! Peppermint is fantastic on a cold day. The Jasmine is great for a cup in the afternoon with a sweet cookie. Thank you very much.

sarita, just got the cozy and the picture on your website doesn't do it justice! all the detailed handwork is amazing! and i love the fact that you made it with your own wool. thank you also for the roving, it inspires me to repair my spinning wheel and get spinning! everyone please look at the picture of my cozy from sarita on her blog: www.coffmanspinningfarm.blogspot.com i am not savvy enough to know how to post pics, so sarita was kind enough to take one of it before she mailed it to me! this was my first swap and it was such a fun thing to get to know sarita and share our lives. it is truly a blessing to know that there are so many farmgirls out there with kindred spirits! i appreciate all of you! cathy

Whew, I was beginning to think it had got lost. I am so glad you liked it...I am just a primitive chick myself... Hope your tea cozy keeps your tea warm for many enjoyable cups of tea. Cathy, you must get your spinning wheel going again...this farm girl in Missouri is going to be over my head in wool in just a month or so... Monica, did you read that? Have you finished the last fleece yet???? Smiles to all! Sarita
Debby, I have corriedale in white and brown, polypays, oxfords, shetlands of all colors and textures, and a few shetland crosses, over 30 fleeces. I purchased a new border Liester ram that has a finer wool than most borders...next Spring I will have Borderdales, borderpays, borderlands, and borderfords. I think I have a few of my sheep on my blog site. Deb, what kind of wheel do you have? I have to sew an Indian ribbon shirt for my grandson, Mr.Eagle Scout, Little Keeper of the Past... He will be doing some Indian dancing on Saturday...yep and I am just getting to making his shirt...a long night! (I work better under pressure...I think)
Ooooh lots of great sheep! I have a Schacht Matchless double treadle. I'll keep an eye on your blog. I would love to get a fleece. I also have a small spinning fiber co. I love to blend wool with my Pygora goat and Angora rabbit fibers. I love making such great connections on here:) Deb

Deb, maybe we can do some trading. I love to blend my wools with angora and use it in my weaving. Email me if you are interested. I love to visit with others that have the same interest as I do too...there is a bunch of fiberolics on here. Sarita
