making coffee

I notice a lot of other bloggers posting WIP (work in progress). There is something kinda fun about seeing a whole little army of crafty components happily lining up to become something handmade. I suppose it is an assembly line of sorts, but in the end each item is definitely one-of-a-kind.



These little twirly-bots are an assembly of recycled wool sweaters about to be whipped into a fresh batch of my Cup O' Joe Pincushions.


the saucers...

the handles, the whipped cream...

It takes just the right ingredients to craft the perfect cup of coffee...

Oh, I love the patterns the WIP has created in your photos. You could create some amazing art by just framed all those saucers or twirly-bots in repetition. Beautiful!
As always, I am drawn to your colour combinations and all these cool creations. You totally inspire me!

Every little piece is so adorable and so much hard work! I love the whipped creams and the coasters on their own (they are a work of art in themselves, oh you are so talented)!
