Took myself off into the garden armed with plain white paper napkins ,pva glue(watered down 50/50) and had a sticky gluey session. Card board template for the cup came from here and the inspiration from Sid. The saucer I just cut round and existing one and then wet the cardboard circle and moulded it to the right shape. 
Several layers of napkin later plus a coat of white paint (I used Jo Sonja's velvet matt finish) and a sheet (or two) of patterned paper (carefuly cutting out the flower shapes) from Funky Hand and we have a tea cup and saucer. Just right for a summers day.

I hope your blood poisoning is getting better. Personally I fell down the stairs just after photographing my workspace, so I'm doped on pain killers! I think they're nicer than antibiotics!
