Marianne Wenn and Tea

marianne wenn
Marianne Wenn Sampler from Norwich Museum

I fell in love with this sampler right away, but like Terri, I did not like the called for colors. So I did my own tentative conversion. I say tentative because there are a couple colors I'm still unsure about and may not know how they will look until I start stitching.

Well, I'm not sure when I'll actually get to this sampler, but it was fun playing in all the threads.

Since it's been colder I've started drinking hot tea. I went to Pier One today and found a sweet little teapot on clearance. I've been trying many different teas lately and I've found a favorite... Twinings Irish Breakfast Tea.
