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.

  1. I love soap discs too. Did you oil the PVC pipe first?

    And of course I LOVE purple and green together. :)

    The tea set with cup cakes is simply gorgeous. So much talent you have. xo
