My creative space...




This is one of those jobs I've been meaning to get to for years. We use the silverware each Christmas and I leave it out for a couple of weeks waiting for the right time to make a proper holder for it. Then it gets wrapped up and goes back in the drawer for next Christmas. Well this year we didn't put it away. Its been sitting on the bench, adding to my other pile of craft induced guilt. Little owlet is in love with the tiny spoons and happily they are in more regular circulation. I'd love to have a way of storing it that will make using the set a little more enjoyable so we can enjoy it more than once a year. So today I'm trying to devise some sort of suitable holder for my Grandmother's silver. I'm thinking tea towels...

  4. I've come across those old wooden boxes silverware used to be stored in at the tip shop/op shops from time to time (if they would fit in)

    Personally I like the look of the teatowels.

    BTW, the owlet mai tai is getting a real workout!

  5. Oh i get put on silver polishing duty at Christmas as i'm considered crap in the kitchen. I don't mind, share the love & work with the children. It's a nice time to sit & do something beautiful but mundane & out of the heat in the kitchen. You need the original canteen, only way to keep it sorted. My parents still use theirs religously after 50 years, every knife standing, fish forks here & dessert spoons there . . . i could do it blind folded. Love Posie
