New Years Resolutions: 1 and 2

I have a general list of New Years Resolutions, primary, to start with....Small goals!!!!....having said that, one of my New Years Resolutions is to drink less soda, and drink more Tea.

When I worked in the Coffee industry, I quickly got sick of Coffee, Espresso, etc... Back then, CHAI Tea was the big, upcoming thing.  But that was the only Tea I really drank.

I'm starting my tea drinking really basic, and inexpensive. So with my sweet tooth, I'm currently hooked on Celestial Seasoning's Vanilla Honey Chamomile.  Plus, it's calming (Chamomile), and I sure could use a lot of that these days!

The tea comes in very convenient little square packets, but I'm not lugging around the whole box everywhere I go just in case I have a sweetness craving.

My second New Years Resolution is to increase the items I craft and make for myself.  That's been kinda hard this year, lofty plans, elaborate projects, dreams of lacey intricate crochet projects and busy life....So, start small!  I'll Make myself useful small items that are already needed!

With some inspiration from the Celestial Seasonings box, I decided I should make a little pouch to carry my tea in.

 

I traced out a few things on some scrap felt.

And then I got working on a Tea Cup...

  

After a little bit of crafting, I decided to practice a new stitch I found in a book.  Considering I'm rather new at this, it doesn't look too bad, but after finishing the project, I'm not sure if it really goes with my little Tea Pouch.

But now, I've accomplished two of my Resolutions!  I have a little Tea Bag Holder I can store my daily tea in, and I've made myself something! Yay!

 

Thanks for reading everyone!
