Hi all

I've made a tea cosy for an elderly friend for Christmas, and I am so
pleased with the result that I've posted a couple of Pics of it on RCTNP.

I'd be thrilled to know what others think of the colours - I have no colour
sense at all so always choose very safe neutrals.......boring - I wish I had
the confidence to be more adventurous.

Cheers

It's beautiful. I'm sure your friend will love it.

I kind of like the colors the way they are. There's something elegant about
subdued and I don't see it as boring at all.

I agree with Lucille on the colors...elegant colors for an elegant
design. Unless the elderly friend is a former psychedelic-tie-die-
loving hippie, s/he will be very happy with the gift!

color sense. I always used to think I had no color sense,
either. After some nudging from people here, I started trying
different things. Once you try, it becomes easier and easier and your
"eye" will tell you if colors will work together. Or not. LOL If
*I* think they look good together, I go for it!

Spread your wings and fly, Joanne!
