Tea Cozy

Last March I spent 5 days on Vancouver Island.  It was the longest vacation I have had in many years.  Vancouver Island is gorgeous in the spring, it must be one of the world's most beautiful spots.  I was able to go to the Satin Moon quilt shop in Victoria.  I have wanted to visit that quilt shop for many years and I wasn't disappointed.  They have everything!  It is definitely what a quilt shop should be.  While I was there I bought a kit for a tea cozy.  I made it up last week and this is the result.  It turned out lovely.

The new bed

We finally broke down and bought a new bed.  It is a king size so it takes up about half the bedroom.  It is so comfortable compared to the old bed.  It also came with a 42" flat screen TV as a promotion.  Now Arnie will have a big TV in his den.  It will take up about half the den lol.  It is such a comfortable bed but I am used to a very soft, saggy mattress so I hope I can sleep on this one.  I wish I could sleep period.  Lately I lay awake until 4 in the morning.  So this is a picture of the new bed.  Now all I need is a new head board and some nice bed tables.  This is the picture from the web site.  Its not my bedroom.  I would like my bedroom to look like this.  I would have to get a new house. lol
