We've had mid-winter Christmas, spending the afternoon at a Charm of Magpies, knitting or doing cross-stitch, followed by handmade Christmas ornament swapping and a lovely roast dinner...
My Christmas ornament - a purple elephant, made by the Adventures of the Girl from the Naki

The savoury food...
...and the sweet, with the most amazing pavlova made by MrsC
We also trekked up to Palmerston North to spend the day on the Crazy Gypsy's patch. The plan was to go to Levana in Levin, but they were closed, so we op-shopped locally, then had posh tea and cakes in Palmy and a little bit of spending in the Arthur Toye sale...

Than last week we celebrated Cake patterns by wearing a Cake pattern and eating lots of cake - you see I told you we know how to eat :-)

ReplyDeleteI thought I'd surprise you :-)
DeleteOh my gosh what a great photo essay, better than a thousand words, and hilarious!
ReplyDeleteIt is SO great having all of you to hang out with :)
He he, thanks. I reckon a photo essay is good too! It's great hanging out with you too!
DeleteYah! WSBN forever!! We have had so much fun. That time we took over Arthur Toye in Palmerston North was the best:)
ReplyDelete4eva! :-) I have to say Arthur Toye and the op shop in Palmy will for ever remain in my memory
DeleteAhhh, looks like SO MUCH FUN! I hope there are cool sewers down in Dunedin...
ReplyDeleteLooks like we shall have to find you some! I have to say I was surprised to find so many here and with so many bloggers!
DeleteOooh, you are a sociable bunch! what a fun day out, and I love your dress :) I recognised Melissa straight away too!
ReplyDeleteLots of fun days out. I wonder if that's why not much sewing gets done :-) They are a great crowd to hang out with and always there if we need someone.
DeleteOh lovely Tira Nikki!
