Who says they are twee? You should sit on the wide verandah of the lovely Sprigs Tea restaurant in Kloof, Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa and every guest has a tea pot with a different cupcake tea cosy. They look so colourful and quite delightful - the colours and designs are superbly chosen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-26285595907174161022008-03-19T17:00:00.000-04:002008-03-19T17:00:00.000-04:00I'm just googling this book and your review is the...I'm just googling this book and your review is the most useful I have found, thank you so much.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12895985573831346825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-40107210855886891012007-11-30T11:43:00.000-05:002007-11-30T11:43:00.000-05:00I'm glad to know I'm not the only person who quest...I'm glad to know I'm not the only person who questions the comfort/utility of big ruffles on socks. They seem to be the rage these days (I suppose it's one of those "Well, we've done everything else; what can we do to make these different"). But I usually wear socks with slacks (and not high-waters, either), so it would certainly be a weird look./fillyjonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13016436113169230368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-4845608399389035302007-11-29T15:44:00.000-05:002007-11-29T15:44:00.000-05:00Shit, now I want a cupcake.Shit, now I want a cupcake.Sherry Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02103490521732524156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-38097108784958207522007-11-29T10:03:00.000-05:002007-11-29T10:03:00.000-05:00"For I, no stranger to cupcakes, have never seen a..."For I, no stranger to cupcakes, have never seen a two-layer cupcake residing in a pleated cupcake paper.

I liked some of the patterns but found it hard to tell how things would fit if they were on a hanger and not a model. Also, I didn't notice any schematics. I much prefer that to written measurements.
