Caitlin is attending a tea party at the local gardens next Saturday and I decided that for the present I would make the girl her own tea party in a basket. I am going to go down to the op shop and buy an old picnic basket and spray paint it pink. Then I am going to add a ribbon to it. Then I will buy a 2 real cup and saucer sets ( doesn't matter if they get broken but I think she will enjoy real cups and saucers.)
I have started crocheting all different kinds of tea party foods. I will take some pictures when they are finished. I am in the process of making a lemon meringue pie slice,
there will be a slice of cherry pie.
Some iced biscuits. A whole heap of little chocolates that come in their own little wrappers. Some strawberries
and little little cakes that are just so sweet. I think she will like this present. Caitlin does.
We are having a market stall at work in August and we have been busy making items to sell. On Wednesday two of the ladies and I made the most gorgeous Tutu out of tulle and lace so so sweet. We also made a tiny new born one for one of our staff who is having a granddaughter in a few weeks. We have made finger puppets, little girls hats,
lavender sachets, knitted coat hangers. and my co worker is about to start a whole heap of wood work with the men. It should be a successful stall.
All the patterns for the food and hat came from ravelry.com. You can find them in my list on the right hand side of my blog.
