Weaving resumes

I spent this weekend with a house full of weavers, luckily the weather was wonderful so we spread ourselves inside and out.  Seven of us from my class last year managed to come at some point; lots of talk, lots of laughs, lots of food and even some weaving.

You will notice that blue tarp is the must have weaving accessory.

Sparkle overdose

I am not a huge fan of sparkle, I firmly believe that there is such a thing as too much glitter and my threshold is very, very low.  There are exceptions however and this is one of them, following the rule that, if you are going to do it then go all the way.

It's official title it The Golden Bearing but it's better known in town as the glitter tree - for obvious reasons,  It's up until the end of the month as part of the Festival of Lights and seeing as I missed it's last outing I've made sure to see it this time.

A Very Kiwi New Year

I had a quiet new year but saw it in with an all Kiwi menu; proper burger thanks to Burgerfuel, great kiwi beer and hokey pokey ice cream for dessert.  Perfect.

To balance it up a bit I watched a reply of the Edinburgh Tattoo but even that had a kiwi flavour with an appearance from the national Kapa Haka champions.  All in all a nice way to farewell 2014.
