#teacozy

The Fourth of July has always been more a celebration of summer than of independence; at least to me. Picnics, BBQs, fireworks, staying up late, and pool parties always had more relevance than a fight for freedom. Especially as I get older and have to work holidays; they lose nearly all meaning when you don’t get to participate. This year I’m celebrating with a pot of quintessential summer tea (hot, because those clouds seem like they’re never going away), and a good think over what it means to be an American. Tea cozy by my Gramie, Peach Black tea from Eastern Shore Tea Company, cup from Royal Doulton. #redwhiteandblue #fourthofjuly #teacup #teacupsofinstagram #royaldoulton #madeinengland #peachtea #teacozy #vintage #vintagetea #teastrainer #lace #theartofslowliving #littleluxuries #blueandwhitechina #cottagecore #softcore #grandmacore #easternshoreteacompany #madebygrandma https://www.instagram.com/p/CCOW7pPAUHr/?igshid=4bsgj44kw3kw

"Make me a tea cozy?" he said. Your wish is my command. Yarn: Paintbox wool mix super chunky. Method (for a small teapot): 9mm circulars, magic loop method. Cast on 32 stitches. Knit 3 rounds of K1P1 rib, then knit around twice. On one side of 16 stitches, knit back and forth in stocking stitch for 4 rows. Cut yarn and attach to other side and repeat 4 rows of stocking stitch on that side, then continue knitting around so you are back to knitting in the round. Knit around 5 times. Then decrease round 1) *knit 6, k2tog* around 2) *knit 5, k2tog* around 3) *knit 4, k2tog* around 4) *knit 3, k2tog* around 5) *knit 2, k2tog* around 6) *knit1, k2tog* around 7) *k2tog* around Bind off and sew in ends. Happy teatime! #knittingland #knitstagram #handmade #hygge #nevernotknitting #teacozy #teacosy #pattern https://www.instagram.com/p/B40OU2bpmDF/?igshid=1uk2fjdmfot81

Hello lovelies!🍄🍁🍂 — What do you do when you need to get warm?? I was freezing a little while ago.. I had to get into bed to become warm again! . I read Crazy Over You by Wendy Sparrow last night and it was EXACTLY what I needed to want to get back into reading again. . For some reason I'm very into Shapeshifter romance stories right now?? If you have any Shifter-Romance recommendations, throw 'em at me! - - #teakettle #teacozy
