Texas may not be England, but we still like our hot tea to be hot (or at least look cute). Every afternoon, as I slave away at my work desk, I enjoy a nice hot mug of Spiced Chai tea with a bit of honey and cream (because in my imagination I am an American who is Asian and British all at the same time).

As I am working hard to earn those corporate dollars, I sometimes get side tracked and my lovely tea gets cold. Luckily for me, as I was working (not at all surfing the net), I happened upon these adorable little tea cup cozies. Cute as a button, and oh, so effective. Who would have thought that a little piece of knitted yarn would keep my tasty tea toasty as I tend to important business? Certainly not I!

KnitStorm, located on Etsy.com, makes these wonderful items that fit snugly over an average mug. A mere $14 is a bargain if it means your tea stays warm and looks fabulous in the process.
