Teabag string Scarf


Finished at last Teabag String Scarf, took about 2 years with over 8000 teabag strings. If you drank 2 cups of tea a day it would take you over 10 years to collect the strings to make it. Now for my next project. Will need to drink a few more cups of tea to finish it.

Long time between drinks

Its been awhile since I posted, I've moved towns changed jobs, say each day im going to do some craft work today, but never find the time. I need to do it first, before the housework, the running around of kids, the cooking the shopping, oh and before surfing the net. Lets see how it goes.
