It's tea time!

Nothing beats a well brewed cup of tea and a biscuit to finish the afternoon off - especially when served in a nice bone china cup.

These biscuits are not only individually hand sewn but are totally calorie free. The perfect biccie we think. But what is interesting is what great heritage they have...

The Custard Cream: Delighting taste buds for over a century, the Brits official biscuit of choice has been doing the high tea circuit since 1908.

Jammie Dodger: The perfect nibble for your sweetheart. I love hearts almost as much as I love biscuits so for me the Jammie Dodger reigns supreme. (circa, 1935)

Ice Gems: The first biscuit served in a bag has been as regular as the Hokey Cokey at children's parties for over 150 years. Blimey.

What a little gem.

This wonderful collection has been created by talented textile artist Ouissi from British Cream Tea.  She doesn't just make biscuits, her boiled eggs and fish fingers are just yum.

Ouissi's charming felt biscuits are on the front cover of Mollie Makes this month so wind up your work in progress (WIP) and get out the felt it, it's tea time!
