on my table
What a lovely welcome back that was. Thank you so much for your comments. It was really nice to wake up to them the next morning.
Spring in New Zealand is beautiful right now. The doors and windows are flung open and breaks are taken sitting on the front porch listening to the tui's.
I'm working towards the Hawkes Bay 2008 Hospice Holly Trail which, I see, is sold out already. I've started off making the little things that travel well. It means that I can nip off to friends for tea and cake and take my work with me.
It's now 6.30pm. We put the clocks forward at the weekend so it's still light and bright outside. In fact, it's almost flip flop weather ('jandels' if your a kiwi reading this!) On my crafting table right now I have a selection of beaded hearts for the stall. They take forever but I think that they look so pretty hanging from a door handle or a hook.
I really must give you a studio update soon. It's coming along wonderfully well and it looks as though we might even make the end of November deadline. Did I say that outloud?!
Until next time...
Hi Alison - nice to have you back. Yours is a special talent. Congrats for the NZ Hse&Gdn thing and I will be buying one of those beaded hearts at Holly Hospice.
