Clever crafters

We have been lucky enough to have exquisite work by other crafters enter our house lately.  First there was this gorgeous collage by Cathy (aka Tinniegirl) which was a gift to me from me for no reason other than I love it:

Then there were these beautiful hair elastic & clip holders by Kathryn, which I knew my girls would adore:

The one on the right has already been filled up with all Clare’s school elastics and clips – she is thrilled with it.  Stella loved hers so much she thought it was a top and continually tried to put it on…

And lastly, for Stella’s 2nd birthday we had this very special music box handmade by super clever Kirsty:

It is just the most perfect gift!  Around the bottom it says “from little things, big things grow”.  There is room inside to keep something special:

When wound the music box plays “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy”.  Just right for our little Stella.  Something that she can keep forever and treasure.  Thank you so much Kirsty – we love it!
