Oh my, I must be really stupid! I wrote an entry about my stitching anniversary nearly two weeks ago, but somehow didn't post it. What happened??

Anyway, I nearly didn't believed it, but I have one last finish for this year!!
Finally my Tea Exchange is DONE!

I decided not to put it into a frame as it might be damaged while sending it so Germany, so I mounted it (my first time! including lots of double-sided tape and craft glue) and backed it with light green felt. Added a satin ribbon hanger and a cute small ribbon and it's done!

I also added a small New Years wreath and a felt kit (not pictured). And of course, Tea! From my favorite shop "Lupicia".
Lupicia not only has awesome teas but also thinks about what it's making!
I bought famous green tea from Kyoto, as that's some kind of must but also a small try-it-set for the winter flavors.
This years the winter blends are all under the motto "Ways to Paris". The illustrations on the different packagings are georgious!
In the set are "Joyeux Noel", which shows you the winter of Paris, it is black tea with roasted chestnuts; "Gache-Gache", which is the French word for "Hide and Seek", in this tea lots of fruits are hidden, can you find them all; and "Carol", which represents a christmas cake, it combines Strawberry and Vanilla with Rose petals and black tea!

So now I have time to work on my HAEDs again. Who else did join the SK SAL for 2010?

I wish everyone of you a merry happy christmas!! I hope you have lots of fun with you family and friends!
