A tale of two extraordinary lives filled with children, craft and laughter



About us

Once upon a time, in a land far far away (New Zealand), Melissa moved to a small city and met Amber through a parents committee. Their friendship grew slowly (as good things take time) but like all good stories there’s a happy ending...one of lots of laughter and shared interests. We see each other several times a day, text back and forth plus talk on the phone...our husbands wonder what an earth we have to say to each other but we are never short of a conversation...the mark of a great friendship.

This blog is about us and our lives. Most of it will be about craft stuff but we will also throw in the other odd snippet or two...perhaps an easy recipe or a great craft book we have discovered. We also have many talented friends who we will share with you. Thanks for having us and we hope you enjoy the glimpse into our lives.
