Rosalie creates tea cosies. With skilled fingers, hooks and needles she produces delightful cottage gardens and floral displays, strawberry fields and crazy clocks, beehives and birds nests.

Ask her how she does it and she will tell you the basic cosy is easy enough, just a beanie shape with holes for the teapot handle and spout. Then with a little bit of this and that, a whole lot of love and years of experience the shape is transformed.

Using fine threads and unravelled yarns, intricate crochet, knitting and embroidery, Rosalie embellishes each cosy. Each is different, each is beautiful.
