It's been one helluva week here...
*heavy sigh*
and it's a shame that not everything is put right as easily as a badly-stitched seam! Still, this isn't the place for a moan-fest... and the week has had its redeeming qualities.
anyone for tea?
I finished this cute little teapot - part of a bigger project for Craftseller - any ideas what it is yet? The clue is in that little pocket on the front, I think. The rest of the project is painted in black and white, if that helps at all!
if you love the ceramic buttons as much as I do
you can buy them here
But the lampshade wasn't all plain sailing. I made a mistake in the cutting, and it's had to be restarted - I always knew this one was going to be a challenge! But it's getting there!
Because of all the stuff going on this week, I'm starting the week with a huge backlog of work waiting for my attention. I will pop round as many of your Handmade Monday links as I can this evening, but after that it may take a while, so I'll apologise in advance.
Enjoy your Handmade Monday!
Those buttons are extremely gorgeous, aren't they?!

Well I think your teapot is very cute, and a lovely shade of blue! I am sure your owl will have cheered up. I hope this next week is better for you, and good luck with the lampshade. I usually have to make a cup of tea or coffee when I realise it's time to get the dreaded unpicker out! Just a wild guess, but is the teapot for an advent calender?

ReplyDeletebusy busy as always Wendy! I don't know how you manage to keep up with it all :)
ReplyDeletei am loving the tea pot - so characterful! and the teal/raspberry red colour combo is gorgeous - one of my favourites!
i'm glad your beautiful owl landed safely on its perch at sewing world :) x
I am sorry your week has bee grim and hope this coming week is much better. The teapot looks great and I love owl's eyes.
ReplyDeleteThe teapot is so sweet and I love ceramic buttons, off to have a nosey at the website, hope this week is better than last
ReplyDeleteHope this week is better for you xx
ReplyDeleteIt's a pain when things don't do what you want them too, I hope this week will be an improvement.
ReplyDeleteLove the teapot but can't guess what the bigger picture is, the only black and white thing I can think of at the moment is a finishing flag at a race.

Those buttons are lovely, I am off to check out the link. I have no idea, I'm afraid, about the teapot so I guess I'll have to wait and see won't I?
ReplyDeleteYour owl may not have been looking forward to his journey but I bet he's having a 'hoot' at Sewing World Magazine. Hehe!! They say the old one's are the best :)
