a good excuse...

I have finally found a good excuse to use up my hoard of felt... a Christmas ornament swap! Yay! I signed up today and can't wait to get started. But be quick.. head over to Twenty Cent Mixture and sign up pronto as applications close on Friday 6th November.

Meanwhile... Lucky Penny was good last night- catch the full report here.

Lucky Penny November!

Wow, its very nearly November! And that means on the first Tuesday of the month its Lucky Penny Day! Lucky Penny is a monthly craft-friendly social event run by the lovely Heleen (Ruby in the Dust) and me! The next event is on the 3rd November, 7.30pm onwards at mezze Bar, Durham Lane in Auckland. There you go, just like the poster above.

catch you there!

fading beauty

For a week now I have been watching these flowers. When my flatmate had brought these ‘magnificent’ peony roses home, they were a dark, bright pink. Over several days the buds opened, and the intense colour that the flowers had began to fade, from hot pink, to coral, to a soft blush pink, then cream. It is quite remarkable. Such perfect photo opportunities! Sigh.

marvelous

Couldn't resist taking a snapshot of these cookies, fresh from the oven! Recipe found here.

horse parade two

I just love taking pictures of my niece's many, many horses. Sometimes they are in a perfect arrangement.

Also: Kraftbomb is on this weekend! Sunday 27th September in the Grey Lynn Community Centre- yay!!
