As I,ve got older my birthdays have got better and better . I, have had a lovely dayI awoke to the sight of a clear garden and the snow gone
Then the opening of the cards and presents, I hope I don,t sound mercenary but it was exciting
I had perfume , fabric in a very pretty basket , a very nice shopping bag, buttons , lace and a antique button .A Kaffe Fassett V& A patchwork book that is a absolute dream ( it isn,t on the picture , I had been reading it and it was elsewhere . ) a cookery book and silicone baking cases, hand cream , 2 bunches of tulips and a mixed bouquet of flowers from bluebells husband my neighbour treated me to my newspaper and then silver sewer came to visit and presented me with a lovely piece of red glass .
With friends like this I have a lot to live up to . A truly delightful day

Hi Solomi,
thanks for your kind words on my blog, if you would like a better pic, you can email me on suziesletterbox@hotmail.com
You will probably be able to work out how it's done, but basically it is two squares of single crochet in green, roughly the size of the teapot, the edge has a frill (white) at the bottom made from doing 8 chain into every other stitch then turning at the end of the row and working an 8 chain in the gaps.
The flower is from the crochet book I mentioned in my blog, (can't remember the name off hand) but the fluted top in pink is made with a row of treble crochet to give gaps for the ribbon and then you make the pretty scallop by doing a single crochet, wool round hook then three trebles then a single crochet,
Good luck with your cosy! would love to see it when it is finished. What a great blog, you are very talented!
hugs

Dear Cottonreel -
I've sent you some Birthday wishes via e-mail. I do hope that getting older will mean that I will be getting just as many gifts as you did! I'm so happy that you had a lovely day. May all your days be lovely.
