My birthday this year was on a Sunday . Yay. The weather was great so we went for a picnic up the coast at Paekakariki Beach. We all had a great time. The kids even had a paddle!

First Blog

Hi Everyone , Well I've been a bit slow starting this blog. Those of you who know me will know I broke my wrist earlier this year which kind of slowed down all my crafting. I am slowly on the road to recovery ! I'm hoping to post at least once a week or so to show what I've been up to - things I have been making and if I have any markets or finally have some things to sell in my etsy shop! If you are in the neighbourhood I have a few handmade books on show and for sale at the Feilding craft show from the 8th to the 28th of November.
