You've stirred up my 'tea-buds' and I think that, instead of another cup of coffee, I'll brew up some tea!

Tea cosies are adorable. I really like the recycled woolens ones with applique I have to admit. Glad to hear Mr. Dragon is keeping his spirits up and spending time with those he loves most. Take good care of him and YOU too. xox Corrine
Love that teapot bouquet! I remember years ago when dried floral bouquets in teacups were all the rage.
Btw, the recipe for the biscuits is in my recipe drop down menu (sidebar), but I've also linked to it from the post.

It's so funny....! I love to crochet..in fact I'm at it all the time in the evenings...but I have never made a tea cozy before.... you'd think, being a Tea Cup Collector, that I would have long ago thought of that,,,right! lol
i'm your newest follower..and I'm on the Linky List...come on by and visit with me today too!
A tea cozy is one thing I don't have and yet my Mother used to knit them years ago. Hmm, I should go shopping to see if I can find a pretty one. Thanks for sharing these. Judith
I love the tea cozies. I have been looking for one and haven't found one yet. Of course, I have been looking at thrift stores and such places. I am thinking people hold onto their cozies!
Your place always looks like a tea party, here in your corner of Blogland. I'm fond of tea cozies too. I used to have a friend who made them from old, holey quilts. Beautiful.
I'm glad to hear Mr D is in good spirits. I hope you are too, Dear Friend...
For someone who loves tea parties like me, I just realized that I don't have a tea cosie. Thanks for sharing your mosaic of tea cosies. I will have to get one. Happy Tuesday to you too! -marie
Hi Snap, Good to hear that things are better and that you can move around. Enjoy your quiet together! Tea cozies: yes, such a source for creativity! I have a few here, but hardly ever drink tea out of a tea pot ... They are sitting there, just being beautiful! Have a wonderful day! Jacoba
I do love tea cozies as well! I love the little blue tea cups sets as well. I will continue to keep Mr. Dragon in my good thoughts, I wish him the very best in his healing. Hugs, Terri
What a delightful and too cute tea cozies; I have a couple and love them!
Thanks so much for joining us once again for our little corner of; 'Tuesday Tea Time In Blogland', for TTTT and also for my 66th, 'Tuesday Tea For two'.., Fun!
P.S.~ (I posted my new photos rather 'laterish' on Silken Purse blog this week if you'd care to pop by for a wee peek and another cuppa)..,
Cheers and hugs from Wanda Lee @ http://silkenpurse.blogspot.com
Hello, I am brand new to tea parties in blogland. I never had a tea cozy. Probably because whenever I saw them on our trips, I wanted a new teacup more than a cozy. But those croqueted ones are lovely. Since I am brand new I of course do not know about your husband, but am putting him our my prayer list. Blessings.
Lovely post. How I wish I could crochet. I would love cute tea coxy! Thank you for sharing the lizk for some patterns. Maybe you have inspired me. Continued healing and progress for Mr Dragon. Thank you for sharing with us. Pam
The celebration of National Hot Tea Month continues!The folks at Favorite Crafts sent out an email with lots of tea related goodies. You can find the patterns on their web site.

We are between family visits this week and looking forward to a little quiet.
Mr. Dragon is still able to go up and down the stairs,
enjoys food and has enjoyed seeing friends and family.
As he says, we will laugh, smile and enjoy life as long as we can.
Thank you for your prayers, kind thoughts, white light that you have sent to us.

I love your tea posts.
There's no drink like tea. I love my mid-morning coffee, but nothing restores like tea!

Heading to check out the links ~ thank you for posting!
Just picked up the knitting needles and began a cowl. Simple pattern so no extra thinking required. I don't too much extra to spare lately :)

Totally love those cozies ... especially the lower right corner. Wish i had a pattern to knit one--maybe I'd better go looking for one! Nice post.
