Time for tea and cake...

I have made another tea cosy.  Themed tea cosies are becoming 'my thing'.  Today's theme is afternoon tea appropriately enough.

I decided to go with the body of the cosy in blue and white stripes like Cornish Ware crockery, which is a favourite of mine. 

The cupcakes were made in 4 ply yarn, a pale brown cake bottom with a freeform top to look like big fluffy icing, one in pink and one in lemon.  

Then I  sewed lots of little bugle beads on - to look like sprinkles!

The tea cups were made in pink and white and lemon and white.  I sewed the cups and cakes on to the cosy, pink cake, yellow cup and vice versa

Add a blue ring and embellish the top with a wreath of little pink flowers and it is done!
