Breakfast in Bed

April 22, 2010 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 44 Comments

With Mothers Day just around the corner, I  designed a Breakfast Set consisting of a tea cosy, tray cloth, and napkin with crocheted edge. My clever in house graphic designer (aka Sarah) put together the tutorial picture for me!

I figure if I leave it out as a *hint*  my family might bring me a lovely Breakfast in bed on Mothers Day morning !

Inspired by the wonderful pillowcases over at You Go Girl I had to make a napkin with a crocheted edging. I used the crocheted scalloped edging my Nan taught me when I was a young girl.

You can find the tutorial over at QFD Creative.

    Wouldn’t it be lovely to be served breakfast in bed with this gorgeous set, but i think my girls would rather use it for their tea sets instead.
