I know the excitement has been building since I announced last December that my mother was about to finish the winter tea cosy just before her 100th birthday but, many apologies, I seem to have omitted sharing a photograph of her latest creation, the Winter 2014/2015 Cosy. I think you’ll agree that her designs are going from strength to strength now that she’s entered her 101st year.

In case you haven’t been following this saga, my mother has been designing seasonal tea cosies for me for a couple of years now because, let’s face it, you can’t have too many tea cosies. Now that we have two years worth, we can change them every new season rather like churches change their altar cloths. Above is the Autumn 2014 model and, below, the one for Summer 2014. She is now thinking about her design for Spring 2015. They should be collectors items but  they are all designer originals and I’m the only collector.

Oh, and if you don’t believe that my mother is 100 years old, here’s that photograph of her with a message from Her Maj.

I am fortunate to have a mother who is good with her hands. Mine, Mrs Irene Baxter (formerly Irene Bell), on the verge of a very significant birthday, is still designing and making knitted and crocheted garments and other things such as the now traditional seasonal tea cosies that she produces for me in time for each season of the year.

Yesterday, summer turned into autumn, and so, in my household, this year’s summer cosy has been replaced by a new design for autumn. I think you will see that mrs Baxter’s imagination and dexterity show now sign of tiring. A good way to start Autumn.
