Coffee Lovers!! — If you’ve not tried the amazing Douwe Egberts Hazelnut coffee – you’re missing out!

But sadly this wonderful coffee-goodness only comes in 50g jars and so my flat is slowly becoming a hoarding station for the empty pretty little Douwe Egberts jars as I just can’t face throwing them away.

My #crafty solution to reuse – recycle has been to knit this quick and simple knitted cosy and popping in a t-lite candle.
