Have you ever wondered how long a wool tea cosy will last? Then make yourself a cuppa and read on.
The lifespan of a wool tea cosy can vary depending on several factors, including the quality of the wool, how frequently it is used, and how well it is cared for. Generally, a well-made and well-maintained wool tea cosy, such as the award-winning Tafferty Designs tea cosies, can last for several…
I've recently cleaned a long neglected storage space in the apartment and found some things.
One of them was an old tea cosy in a shape of a girl (which is a Soviet (?) or even earlier remnant tradition(?), I am a bit lazy today to look it up^^"). Said tea cosy is my aunt's, and was gifted to her probably before I was walking (??? no one in my family remembers). What is certain though is that I personally HATED this thing with vengeance as long as I remember myself)))
I was allowed to play with this doll and she was ALWAYS a villain/despicable bitch in all of my games:)
why was I so against her I don't know, but she was horribly made regardless- cheap plastic and fabrics, everything falling apart UGH
So!
Looking at her again I was plunged into this deep childhood hatred, but I couldn't just throw her away - she is not mine, and was a gift blabla
SO! I had a mission!
that what was before (she is in parts,'cause I've forgotten to take a proper before pic^^"):
A Christmas Rose tea cosy for my dad for Christmas! The idea is for them to look like poinsettia - I love how it came out, even if it’s so huge that we’re using it over the top of existing tea cosies!
