Flower headbands

This is part two to the dinner party post...we got a bit crafty over dessert and made some super cute flower headbands. Spotlight stocks packs of little fabric flowers, and we used a needle and thread to sew them onto a thick cord, also from Spotlight. I worked out it probably cost about $2-3 each to make - a pretty + cheap home made gift! They also work well as bracelets x 

Will you come to dinner?

As part of my job I have a small group of girls who I try to spend a lot of time with - they are refreshing, a mix of different personalities and life stories. 

We had a little dinner together to end the year and welcome summer (although we had to have it inside as Taranaki had been issued with a heavy rain warning!) 

We ate, laughed and talked a whole lot..

We also did a little crafting which I'll post about later on.

Dinner parties are fun! x

Come fly with us...

A few weeks back we held an event at work and the theme was "Come fly with us". We went with old airline tickets, posters, and boarding passes for promotion, got some free Air New Zealand lollies and I designed these table centrepieces. They took a bit of work, but with lots of help from others - they came together! I did spend quite a lot of time with my clouds (23 tables meant 23 clouds to shape), but overall was quite happy with the result!

Pom Pom Garland

A few weeks ago I went over the road to our new discount store, and found a few packs of craft pom poms. I made two garlands and used the little one for my sister's birthday present. They took about 5 minutes to make with a needle and cotton. I heart discount stores!
