AfternoonTea
Hi!
Yesterday we had our AfternoonTea Party. We had so much fun. We were also very lucky because it was 27degrees and no rain! We were 7 girls. My friends Helena and Weronica as always ;-)), My friend Lisselot from Highschool, she lives quite far away but came to me for the party, Lena the very talented artist and Ann-Christine the LQSowner and her daughter Jessica.
The party started at 15.30, with tea, coffee and ofcourse cake. Here you can see a picture of the table with the food.
I used to have a net over my bed against musquito bites and I used that to have over the table so we wouldn't have to worry about insects on the food. I found these great butterflies in a craftstore that I attached to the net.
I used the same butterflies as napkin rings:
This is how the table looked:
As you might remember of my last post, we had a mystery project. We made a pincushion. The pattern comes from an other blogg that had a lott of links of different pincushion. I don't know were the pattern comes from since it was a PDF file, without an address..and I printed it out a long time ago.
I did all the preparing on the sewingmachine so the only thing left to do was to stuff the dolls and decorate them. The nice thing was that everybody got to take a finished project home!
This is what they looked like:
Here are some pictures of us at work:
Well, as I hope you can see from the pictures we had a lott of fun! I will be uploading some of the quilts I did for the show-and-tell soon too...
Bye!

Sounds and looks like you had a very successful and fun party! and yes, please share close ups of the pin cushions. What a clever gal you are.
You set a pretty table for them! Having a sewing project too sounds like my kind of tea party!
what a lovely tea party, and a gorgeous table!
Looks like fun - the netting was a good idea to keep the insects off.
Looks like you all had a wonderful girls day out. I think we all need to do this more often, bring out the good stuff and show appreciation for each other.
Darling little dress form miniatures!
