Happy Matariki - Māori New Year to you!
It's the shortest day here today, and the sun has been shining on regardless. We celebrated our winter solstice baby's birthday – Arlo turned 14 the other day (not such a baby anymore), and apart from that, I don't have much to report from these parts.
I made a set of linen napkins for a big family dinner party we held on the weekend, but then got caught up in the party and forgot to put them out for the guests. I used some pieces of beautiful blue linen that my friend Nikki gave me a while ago and I'm sure they'll be put to use soon enough (Tom loves to cook so we have friends around for dinner quite often).
In the last photo above you can see a pile of little tags/cards I made with pressed flowers. I like to have a supply of these on hand for wrapping up gifts and etsy orders. Most of these cards were made using pressed cosmos petals from the summer, leaves and borage flowers. This little contraption has been put to good use!
Other projects I've been working on include some baby-garment knitting for gifts, mending and a bit of embroidery (will show that soon).
I hope you're finding time to work on your projects or do other things you love, these days.
