tea party story (+ free table runner pattern)
July 25, 2012
Boy, do I have a sweet treat for you today! Brooke of Silly Mama Quilts made this beyond adorable table runner. And I liked it so much that I decided to host a little tea party for some friends.
Four of my stuffed friends gathered for some tea. And when they arrived, they all agreed that the table runner was over the top cute.
As a child, I never liked using play food for tea parties. So, I decided to get real food for our special occasion.
I don’t think Mr. Owl liked the real food though. He didn’t touch anything.
Foxie tried to convince Mr. Owl to eat, but he wouldn’t eat a thing.
I turned my back for half a second and before I knew it, food started to fly. It was a food fight!
After cleaning up, they were all put in time-out . . . I now understand why play food is used at tea parties.
And although they were silent when questioned, I’m quite sure Mr. Giraffe started the food fight. It’s written all over his face.
To make your very own table runner, head here for a free tutorial. As I mentioned, this table runner is the cutest! So much so that I’m refusing to send it back to Brooke. I think my stuffed friends’ behavior wore off on me a bit. And to see these stuffed friends and others, head over here.

Love that table runner and all of those animals are just so adorable! I want one of each! 😉
The fox and lamb pattern are from bit of whimsy….she has a website and also sells the pattern on etsy. The etsy seller who you have listed mentions bit of whimsy as the inspiration….but these dolls are 100% made from her pattern. Just thought your readers might want to know in case they would like to purchase the pattern from the doll designer.
Thank you so much for letting us know, Valerie.
Hermoso!!!!, me encanta todo..
