I finished my small stack of tea wallets. I love little stacks of handmade things. But, now it is a very small stack because my friend came by and bought a couple. I’ll be putting what is left in my shop tomorrow.

I really do enjoy combining my love of sewing and of painting in one little item that you can take everywhere with you. Normally I don’t enjoy sewing the same thing over and over again. But with these, I really enjoyed the process. I started with mini paintings on canvas, which are then sewn onto fabric and made into tea wallets. I love using my stash of vintage linen for the inside pockets.
I made one for myself a while back and I take it to work with me and on trips. I can carry up to eighteen packs of tea, if I want, and have plenty to share with others. I always carry Echinacea Plus, Throat Care, Tazo Chai , Mayan Spice and Green tea Kombucha. It’s so nice to offer a cup of tea to someone who might need it. Mmmmmm, I think I’ll make a pot right now!
