Oh, the factories may be roaring with a boom-a-lacka, zoom-a-lacka, wee,
But there isn't any roar when the clock strikes four, everything stops for tea
Jack Buchanan, 1935
Oh, the factories may be roaring with a boom-a-lacka, zoom-a-lacka, wee,
Time to share a few more project photos from last year that I've found still on the camera. This time, it's kitchen accessories - oven gloves, tea cosies and trimmed towels - last Christmas was definitely the year of the tea cosy for my kids and Mum - we all loooove our tea.
Earlier that year I made these aprons for everyone and blogged about them here
For Christmas I had the idea to make everyone a matching set of kitchen accessories - this is the set I made for my eldest son's partner, Ana.
It was the first set I made and there's lots of pics of the finished pieces.
Fabrics:
"paseo de los muertos", De Leon Design Group for Alexander Henry and Belle Epoch by Kaffe Fassett.
Oops, seems I forgot to take pics of Joe and Katie's sets, though I do have a couple of phone photos that I sent to my daughter, Flicky, to show her what I was making at the time.
The Alexander Henry fireman fabric always makes me giggle.
Fabrics:
"ready for action" Alexander Henry; 'Keep it Sassy! Olive Sandwiches for Moda; and 'Labrinyth - Charcoal', Ikebana by Dear Stella
Lotta Jansdotter glimma 'Marby'; Amy Butler Alchemy 'Queen Ann's Butterflies'; and Dear Stella 'Confetti Dot - Peony'

On the phone, I found this pic of trimmed towels,
and I was surprised to discover more on the main camera too.
There's an extra towel in the pile - it's one I made for my Mum to add to her accessory set that I've already shared with you - how come I remembered to share these here and forget about the others I'd made?!!!
I did find this pic of Mum I haven't shared before, it's a great one of her wearing her apron - love this, she's so happy.
To wrap up with that 1935 song by Jack Buchanan, I found the original version on YouTube and here it is - how very, very British!
