Festivaling

It's Winter Arts Festival time again and it's a good thing it's only on every two years.  So far I've ticked off theatre (x 2), music (x 2; a trio of guitarists and a quartet of singers), live cinema (silent film with live soundtrack) and an author talk.  This afternoon its more music (choral) and in the coming week magicians and a beat boxer (that's more music).

This was our very civilised afternoon yesterday, glass of wine, dessert platter (yet to arrive) an author talk (also yet to arrive) in the Libri Lounge.

Under Construction

Things have been crazy and busy and crazy busy over the last few months but I have kept up with the weaving.  Kind of anyway.  I currently have 3 kete/baskets almost finished, just waiting for inspiration to strike about handles and one just started.  I'm on a deadline too, two of these need to be finished in the next two weeks so they are ready to give as thank you gifts to friends I'm visiting.  Nothing like a bit of pressure to assist the creative process.

And as you can see Huia is still intensely interested in anything that a) might be fun, b) takes attention away from her good self or c) both.
