Wind Farm

We took advantage of the fine weather over the weekend to explore the Makara wind farm near Wellington.
Daughter  4 and Hubby and one of the huge turbines:

Daughter 4 and me :

Spectacular views of Cook Strait and the South Island and looking North up towards Kapiti Island :


I have also finished the blanket I was crocheting:

And I have warped the loom for a baby blanket to welcome a new niece to the family due in June :

Finally a big thank you to the people who bought my prints at the exhibition a couple of weeks ago that I mentioned in my last post. I sold ‘le Tour’ , ‘Woven study’ and an unframed print!

February Creations

Inspired by this I have started a new crochet project :

A friend from the Hutt Art Society has kindly loaned me an Inkle Loom  to see if I like weaving on it. It is quite small and portable and used to make bands and straps.

And I have made some paper bead necklaces ( still experimenting with the design though ).
