Over the past few months, I have taken part in two separate tea exchanges through the International Geek Girl Pen Pal Club (If you’re not sure what the IGGPPC is, read this post). Although, when I say “exchange” what I actually mean is I sent out tea twice and only actually received any from my second partner… but anyway, I digress.
Obviously I couldn’t just stick some tea in an envelope with a brief note and call it a day, so the cross stitch threads came out. Here’s what I came up with:
The first one I designed myself (if you can even use the word “design” for something that’s mostly text), the second was adapted from a book.
Tea and cross stitch… two of my favourite things!
And in case you were wondering, for the exchange where I actually got something back I received a green energy tea and a Greek senna tea, both of which I’m yet to try.

I always to see what you’ve been stitching! I hoping for lots of Christmas themed stitches to be shared with us in the new year!
I will definitely share some Christmas stitching at some point 🙂
Wow, they’re very impressive! Enjoy the tea…
Thank you 🙂
They are so beautiful! I love them. What a bloomin shame about the swap partner and really annoying.I’ve heard it happening so many times and it recently happened to me. I sent my partner her parcel in June and she then went into hospital, then moved house, then moved job and then totally ignored my email for 2 months. Eventually it arrived about a month ago after I’d mentioned it on Instagram to the swap person. Totally understood she was ill etc but it was the ignoring which annoyed me!!!
It is so annoying… being ignored must have been so frustrating! Yes, people get ill but at least RESPOND!
