It's always tea time in Wonderland.
And it was tea time all day today in Maryland -- I think I drank at least 10 cups of tea all by myself given that it was rainy and cold outside...perfect weather for tea and for stitching...
I'm getting closer to finishing...the major stressful parts are over...the parts where I wasn't quite confident that I could make the Mad Hatter or Alice...I have just a couple of more motifs to complete.
And then I'll sit back and study the block...and add beads and a few extra stitches wherever the block says they should go...
I'm getting very close now...not too much longer...
P.S. The entire block is 8" square. That means those little bitty cups are only about 1/4" tall.

Susan, I have the biggest "Cheshire Cat" grin on my face after looking at today's posting. How wonderful. Your details are fabulous.
What an impressive array of teeny tiny tea time goodies you have created! It sounds like last week's weather here has made it eastward. Thanks for the 8" reminder; your photos made me think it was larger. You are doing a most splendid job!
Looking good! The addition of the tea cups and desserts on the tea tables really gives life to this piece!
Well, my dear, I must say you set a perfect table!! tsk, tsk.

Wonderful wonderful! Excellent details my dear. It's all coming together.
As usual, I am enchanted by your attention to detail! I love the selection and the charms!
That's a whole BIG world contained in this small block. FABULOUS!
It looks great Susan. You have done much while I didn't had a look at your blog. Love the tings on the table and the mad hatter, fantastic !! The whole scenery looks só real!! I thought that the blog was much bigger.The photos on my screen are always that big :) How is it possible that you have put so much on only 8"square.
A needle artist, that is what you are!!
Please may I come to tea? Your cakes look delicious. You have got so much detail into them and they must also be teeny tiny.
So wonderful, I want to come to tea as well. Quite quite lovely. Am looking forward to seeing the completed block.

Amazing!! You brought smile to my face on a grey rainy morning! I can't wait to see the "big" picture!
Utterly exquisite, and thanks for telling us the scale of the work...k.
I just had to blog about your cleverness today! (I hope you don't mind.)
The details you've added are terrific! Great work!

Susan - I have never ever seen anything as wonderful and creative as your bead designs. I am just amazed at the talent that you have for this craft! Absolutely beautiful. I just keep going over and over the pictures to see all the fine points.
Your blog is a "wonderland" of beading delight. I have so enjoyed my very first visit here - I will so be coming back!
I simply cannot wait to see what you do next~~~

This block is enchanting. The tea party is delightful and I can't wait to see what is coming up next. It is truly fabulous inspiring work.
This is so incredible, I can't image how much skill, patience, time and love has gone into making this quilt. I'm finding it both inspiring and a little daunting as I know I could never produce something like this. It's just gorgeous, fabulous, fantastic...
