They Work!

As of Tuesday I have fully operational windows

And as of Friday the outside is looking pretty good too. 

Amazing how such simple things can be so exciting. 

Paying the Price

It’s been a huge weekend of prep and weaving and my hands are paying the price.

The rest of me is a bit sore and creaky but super happy with the outcome which I’ll share more about later.

Waitangi

Having missed last year it was wonderful to be back at the Wharewaka this year.

Weaving weekends

Last weekend I was away in Ohakune with the weavers and today we gathered again to harvest and prep kiekie. Lot is work, lots of cups of tea and talk, information shared and Projects planned.

Projects on the go in Ohakune


Kiekie progressing.

And ready to spend several weeks following the sun. If I’ve done it right it will turn white.

And Today There Is Light

I got home today to this!  Light and a few twiddly bits that will go up next week.  But mainly light!

A Wall!

Well, there’s always been a wall but it’s now stuffed with insulation, gibbed, plastered and sanded. Last step is to put shirting, beading and picture rail back up. Then all I have to do is paint.

Quietly Productive

With this week off work I’m focussing on The Shed. The outside is part way to being Black Bean instead of raw pine...

And all, or close to it, of my weaving kit and supplies and The Stash have migrated to their new home.
