Wow this past week has gone so quickly, it's Teapot Tuesday once again and this week we are sending our thoughts and warmest wishes to Doreen in Arlington.
The story this week was about Dory and Daisy and their puppy dog Paisley. The girls failed to bring home strawberries, so 42,000 teapotters have been called upon to deliver the goods.
I was thinking that a recipe book would be handy, so here is young Gertie (good friend of Hazy and Lazy and lives just up the road from George). Young Gertie started out life as a Sassy Cheryl digi stamp.
Gertie and the book are paper pieced. If you are faint hearted look away now.....I had to chop off her fingers in order to adhere the paper pieced book, thankfully I glued her pinkies back in place and no lasting damage was done.
The card base is a centre step card. I just got my chicken wire die, so I had to use it and I also used my new "dots" die on the back panel. I added black ink spots to try and make it look like a hanging bag of strawberries. It didn't really work, but it's the thought that counts.
I added some birds, twine, grass, a strawberry stamp and pre-made flowers (on the hat). Thank you for looking and have a wonderful week everyone.

This is so cute. Love that chicken wire die, which is put to very good use here. The girl is adorable, love the 42,000 strawberry recipes book (it must be very, very thick to have that many recipes!), and all the raffia that makes it look like she played around in a haystack.
