The T of Tea
























The 11th of Janyouairy.
It's my niece's birthday - Happy Birthday, Emily!
i'm baking a chocolate cake today ...but because you're thousands of miles away, it's for Sonja. She's coming to visit! YAH!!! and it's her favorite. She and Chas are driving North as i write. Lamb at the Lazy Q Ranch tonight in honor of Janice and Shelby's exit to the warm, sunny South, with a glass of port in the wee hours ....mm.

Crib pads!!!!!
They take a special place in my heart.
This one must've been made w/ a domestic machine by someone at home. Lovely.
























This is a relatively recent flour sack dress w/ hockey sock gloves designed by Lydia Klenck

Hello, brilliant! That apron and hat w/ veil are divine.

Lydia designed a gorgeous Bolero jacket for me made of crib pads I've thrifted. She matched up the grided over stitching in centre back to form a beautiful triangular criss-cross pattern.
Lydia is one of those amazing people who has innovation exuding from her little finger nails. Her work totally inspires me to work.
