Keep Me Close Memorial Keepsakes with Noart

So my new little friend has arrived this morning. The quality and weight of this little guy is absolutely perfect. I will be adding him to my online catalogue (which is nearly ready to go live)
He is roughly 5cm in height and around 170grams once ashes have been placed in his little heart.
Video in comments.

This is my first one and I wanted to check I was happy before advertising him - so if anyone would like him for a memorial inclusion please let me know - £80 (I will be selling these for £110 when my online shop is activated)

Big loves, as always

Olive wood keyring made for my brother in law for his birthday LAST NOVEMBER, but he also completed his yacht masters recently so I got away with such a late gift!!! 🤣🌊⛵️⚓️
I have also been scouring the internet to source more of these keyrings as wholesale and I’ve had no such luck so far, so if anyone could help me that would be fantastic. 😘

A new creation from us over here!!
Super thrilled to be able to offer these night lights. I’ll pop a more detailed post up tomorrow on size, prices and how to order (or if there may be chance to win one!)but for now - what colour would you choose for your Lego- self!!!??
The choice is yours, you have a full rainbow of colours to choose from and either transparent or a more fuller colour with the light still able to shine through 🥰🌈🧑‍🧒🧑‍🧑‍🧒🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒🧑‍🧒‍🧒

Hi lovely followers, old and new! not sure if you remember me but I’m the lady who posts on here once in a blue moon, which Facebook tells me off for! 🫢
Juggling life and a business is hard enough without having to remember to post on here Mr Facebook algorithm!!! 😏

I have realised that I have so many makes here to show you so I thought it was about time I did a post to show off!!!

order books are currently open with a turn around time of around 3 months for large makes and 3-4 weeks for jewellery items. happy to chat if you need me
Big love, as always

I’ve been “out and about” representing with my new work hoodie today, thanks to the beautiful Designs By XO Thank you so much, we all love them!!! 😍

❤️💙💜💗💛💚🧡

I’m hoooome!!! We had an amazing few days away at DLP but there is really no place like home. 😊
I’ll be in my studio Wednesday,Thursday & Friday this week finishing up some flower blocks and making a start on a few more flower memorial makes. All messages will be responded to by Friday.

Today, I have had a well deserved chill day after such a busy weekend, I’m also looking at booking myself and Steve a spa day for our poor legs, we were clocking around 20,000 + steps a day 😂😂
If anyone is looking at going to DLParis and would like some tips then pop me a message and I’ll help best I can 😘

Cannot wait to flood coat these two wedding flower preservations! These sunflowers needed the petals separating from the disk florets and seeds and dried out. I then had to individually glue each petal back into place before setting them in resin. Yes this took a lot of time BUT the results speak for themselves. I’ll pop a full picture of both blocks up once the flood coat has completely set - and once my customer has them with her!

When you can’t sleep at silly o’clock in the morning so decide to relax by painting some earrings 😍 these will be available from Brew Corner in the coming weeks (and my new stall which I’ll be giving you all the info on soon!) 😘

Hello. I’ve had a fair few new followers this last week thanks to a lot of shares from you guys. I thank you so much for getting my page, my creations and my name out there.

Hello to all my new followers, I’m Nikki, owner of Keep Me Close. I have been creating personal keepsakes for around 3 years now after putting a hold on my career as a veterinary nurse. I never dreamed how far this ‘side hobby’ would go and it is now my full time job.
If you have any questions please pop me a message. I’ll be back in the studio tomorrow as my children are returning to school (🥂) so all messages will be responded to over the next couple of days.

thank you all
Big loves
Nikki 😘

My beautiful “thinkers” - I’m looking for individual names for each design, so if you have any ideas please pop a comment on the image.

How cute is this small teddy bear memorial piece containing ashes of a much loved and missed family member.
Colours chosen as an added personal touch. 💙💚

Hi lovelies, just thought I’d hop on and let you know I’m still here plodding away at your beautiful memorial makes. I had another awful week last week where I had to say goodbye to my other cat MoMo. She’d been poorly for a while and on medication for it but her health declined and it was time for her to go join her brother and wait for me at rainbow bridge 🌈
I’d just like to thank the amazing staff at Rhyd Broughton Veterinary Group and Holywell Pet Cemetery as without them I would have been completely lost.

I have a stall showcasing some makes at the Wedding Fayre at The Holt Lodge Hotel
later this month so come down and say Hi 😄

As always I am on hand to respond to any queries usually Tuesday/Wednesday and Thursdays.

Take care and big love

Nikki

“When the mind is thinking, it’s talking to itself” - Plato inspired me for this new trio design.

‘The thinkers’ are available to order now. £35 a set.
These measure approx 10cm in height.
Please dm me to discuss colour options 😘

Super proud to have finished up these funeral flower blocks to match the heart block created in the summer.
Don’t let such beautiful, sentimental flowers go to waste, setting them in resin is the perfect way to treasure them 🥰💐🌸🌼🌻🌹

Pop me a message and we can discuss options available 😊

For those who have plaques remembering family members on the Memorial Wall at Pentrebychan Crematorium we have been alerted this week that renewals are due where plaques have been in situ for over 10 years. The crematorium will be attempting to contact the applicant who arranged for the plaque to be placed originally to present their options. We would encourage anyone who has a plaque on the wall which has been in place for more than 10 years to contact the crematorium on 01978 292050 - especially if the applicant may have moved during the last 10 years.
