two for tea and tea for two.







when I first started crocheting I thought amigurumi stuff was pointless and kinda a waste of time. 
It does take time but I want to crochet everything! 
How cute are these tea cups that I originally saw here, on one sheepish girls blog.  
I loved it right away and needed to make my own so I found a pattern here and I was surprised how EASY it is to make these cute little tea cups. I havent mastered the latte one but I will keep trying till its perfect and I plan on leaving them at my favorite little coffee shop, cute tea cup yarn bomb type thing.
