Claire's pressie.

 It was Claire's birthday last month and this was my pressie I made her.  You can't see from the picture above but the vase sits in a hole.  I delivered this a little late, but Claire loved it!

  These are the last of my pink roses, (they are a favourite!)  The garden is looking more and more like winter!  I do miss my roses over winter.
Enjoy your Wednesday, Michelle.

KHS - Cutlery

Cutlery was the theme for KHS this month and above is one of my efforts,
then this smaller one.  I think they are going to look great on my Christmas tree and they also double as my Christmas project for June!


And this was my final project, I think the silver is much nicer than a plastic plate holder.  So I think I will be making some more of these!  Next on my show and tell is Claire's ,
the photo does not do this justice!  She has beaded some of the wire on this wind chime, it looks beautiful!
And finally this is what Michelle did, we all got to go home with one, to add to our hot chocolates!  KHS was held at Nicky's yesterday who has just moved to a new home.  A very sweet bungalow style house, sorry no photo's as she is still unpacking. Although she did not do a cutlery project she did dish up a beautiful roast lunch-so we let her off!!  Hope you all have a great week, my has started off great!
Happy crafting, Michelle.

Oops a daisy............



 This is my new favourite shop!!!!  It is such a gorgeous wee shop, with sooooo much eye candy!!  It's hard not to spend some coin when you visit!  And it is owned by a lovely lady called Zena, this shop is like her personality-you can't help but get drawn in by her.  She told me she only buys what she likes and lucky for me I really like all she likes!  I have been lucky as hubby and family have brought over the last 18 months my pressies from here!  I have been so spoilt!

This is Zena (I do hope I have spelt her name right??) behind her counter, I visited last week as I had a voucher to spend!  There was so much I loved and finally decided on this very cool chicken wire shelf!  It is sitting on the counter.  Can you see Zena's tool box in the background, filled with ribbon and other goodies to gift wrap! What about that beautiful old till she is using?
 So this is the shelf....................................................................................

So if you are going through Te Kuiti, it is well worth a visit, she is on Sheridan Street (side street off main street), in fact there is four gorgeous shops all together, including a quilt shop!  So pay them a visit you won't be sorry.
Enjoy your weekend, Michelle.
