A day in May for Kindred Heart Stitchers

Last week the KHS met at Claire's house for our monthly meet.  Another day of great food and wonderful company.(I do enjoy these days!!)  The month before Claire gave us this.......

The fabric is beautiful! So we had to use everything above in some way.  So this is what Nick did....

Cute!! A wire covered bird cage with fabric birds!   And............

And this is what Claire made, she is gorgeous ...........................................

This is a Tilda doll that she has enlarged!!!  The wings are wooden!  And this is what I made.....

 The quilt and pillow is going into an antique dolls pram I brought,( will show soon !)

I must thank Michelle as the photos of mine creations and Claire's came from her blog, which brings me to Michelle's mades, I have been waiting for her to blog hers as I only got one photo of some of her creations not all, but this is some of what she made............

The bottle pin cushion is very cute!  So another great day and I am looking forward to next month which is bag month??????
Have a great day, Michelle.

'A night with the Knights'

This past 2 weeks has flown by and mainly because I have been part of a small group of wonderful parents pulling together a huge fundraiser to help our boys get to Australia to a rugby carnival in July.  Of course organising started late last year, but on Saturday night all our hard work paid off.  It was huge with about 400 people attending.  We were supposed to have two Knights but due to ill health we only had one and that was a great bloke known as....Sir Colin Meads who is an All Black legend here in New Zealand and across the ditch in fact around the world.  He is certainly a great entertainer and all round icon for the many generations to look up too.  He spent some quality time with the boys before the formal part of the night started.  We also had former All Black and a good friend Gordon Slater as MC for the night, he did a great job!  We also had a few auctions which after walking the pavement and quite a few phone calls (thanks to Rolly,Mike, me and Julie) we made an incredible $12500.00-amazing effort!!!!!  So not sure of the total amount made yet, that will be in about a weeks time but it is looking fantastic!!!
This weekend was also the opening of duck shooting season, so the boys and my dad headed out on Sunday morning-only 1 duck fell pray, I think the other dozen are still feeling pretty safe!

So now life can get back to normal and I can do some craft, which I have noticed that I have missed!  I have the kindred heart stitches challenge to do, no ideas yet but have a few days to sort myself!  Must admit feeling pretty flat and tired at the moment.

Well I hope your week is going well, will talk again soon, Michelle.
