Tea and Cupcakes Anyone?
I had a request from a good friend for a crocheted tea set for her daughter's third birthday. I always think of pink and purple when I think of Little Miss Abbie and I love the colour combination.
I thought the birthday girl might enjoy cupcakes with her tea. Sprinkles, of course.
By far, my favourite part of the tea set are the felt tea bags.
I had to throw a little green into the set. As much as I like the combination of deep pink and purple, green and purple is still one of my favourite combinations.
In the realm of soap (because I can't seem to stop talking about soap), I am ridiculously excited about the batch of soap I made this morning. Yes, ridiculously excited. Why? I'm using PVC pipe as a soap mold and I simply love the look of discs of soap. Let's just hope I'm able to get the soap out of the pipe.
