The Week On Thread Episode 80

In THE WEEK ON THREAD Episode 80, this tenth column of 2017, I showcase some pics of what I’ve been doing for the last week in early May around Auckland. It’s mostly a collection from my Instagram which you can follow over at www. .com/threadnz to see daily updates and what’s new.

The school holidays are over, so it’s back to school, and the calendar of events is back on! Highlights this week included Bold is Beautiful charity launch at Benefit Cosmetics, Yealands at The Culpeper for International Sauvignon blanc Day, being featured in international blog culturetrip, Ki skincare reveal at Caci clinic, a new cut colour at Blaze, checking out Macpac for AW17, and a Tom Ang Photography Masterclass at Sony New Zealand.

Lego Ninjago

Currently in full ninja party mode making Lego Ninjago fruit sticks for the 6yo party 🙂 I made the discs with paper motifs I printed off the Internet and the laminator from Warehouse Stationery and you could do this for any party theme.
