Back here I wrote a to-do list for a pretty crafty home and I am happy to say I (with Paul's help) have completed the second item on the list. Sandra's idea for June was to get something for nothing and I did it! I had seen photos of pretty white kitchen shelves in books and on the net and my little knick knack shelves just weren't doing it for me. We had the larger shelves in our laundry and Paul very kindly tidied them up and painted them white and I enjoyed finding some pretty things to sit there: the kids gave me the Keep Calm tea pot and cup for my birthday in August and the goose teapot was a wedding gift (almost 20 years ago). There is room for some more things I think and perhaps I could hang something from the bottom bar at some stage. I was also able to hang the gorgeous teapot wallhanging that I got from Sheila, doesn't it look perfect there?! So I love my new kitchen shelf, definitely a happy little corner. Also making me happy this week is the Tis the Season quilt, I am so enjoying stitching these blocks and got three more completed. I love the little stitcheries, Wendy xx
