Jo Mackowski sent us this treasure in the mail from Queensland, she said it has been made from the left over wool she used for knitting slippers for her grandchildren. Yes, they do need warm slippers in the winter up North. So, we thought we'd be smart and simply call this tea cosy 'Slippers'.
This little poodle is notable because he is the work of a mother and son team. Sue and Matt Power put him together and they are pretty pleased with the outcome.
'Ho Ho Ho'..............and what else would you call this little Father Christmas. When you lift his little hat there's a bald head surrounded by fluffy white hair. I've stopped being surprised about the creative and wonderful minds in this town.
This is 'T Berta' our own little Lady Bird and she is the creation of Vanessa Checkley. And so is the next one.
What can I say? This is 'Dumbo' and he's so cute! Vanessa Checkley is responsible for this as well.
I think Les MacKay might be a little disappointed in how this looks in the photo, because he looks great in the window..............Chuck Chickadee and his little poem says "I'm Chuck Chickadee and I keep your tea as warm as can be."
'Buttons and Bows' by Lorraine Brown, who by the way didn't think this was good enough for the competition, you can see we didn't agree with her.
This is Phyliss Barlow's second entry and she's called it 'Hot T Bunnies'. All the little bunnies are made separately and sown on, so all the little ears stand up in the centre. She's such a clever lady.
This is the 'Bling Thing' and it's the handy work of Shirley Westaway. When you see it in the flesh (so to speak) it has glitter and shine, pity this hasn't shown up in the photo.
