Flowers

It’s been a sad time but lots of love in the form of flowers and lovely thoughts in cards and messages has made it easier. 

Crazy

That’s the best description for the last few weeks. A weaving wānanga, a quick trip to Sydney, Easter and a day trip to Auckland not to mention work craziness. So, to catch up:

Weaving

Sydney was to visit family but brought an unexpected visit to the Royal Easter Show which meant wood chopping 

And the trip to Auckland was to visit Te Rā, the original that we are recreating

Womading

Last night it bucketed down. Today the maunga has a covering of snow and it’s a glorious day for music, health food and a beer, or a health drink and tempura mushrooms depending on your point of view. 

Egg Day

After doing a diary check and some careful calculations today has been designated as the day for making Easter eggs. 

So Close!

A month ago we hit the half way mark on the first join on our big weaving project. Today I ran out of puff but we are thiiis close to done.

It doesn’t look like much but that little stretch will probably take a few hours tomorrow. Then only 13 more to do, luckily each one gets smaller and theoretically we will get faster with more practice. 

The Usual

Just a normal week best described as 

The Hoard

Today is the Petone fair! As is tradition I walk the length of Jackson St and back, support local makers, buy dumplings for lunch and then spend the afternoon recovering. 

Lots of wonderful stuff this year but not sharing too much detail as a fair few things are birthday presents.
