A Tiki brooch waiting for an owner.... Susan,  I cant retrieve any contact details from your comment. If you do not contact me by Friday  12 noon( nz time), I will redraw giveaway.  There is no malice  intended, but I want to give stuff to someone!

We are going to make a real commitment to spending as little as possible at big supermarkets and instead use the dollars we do spend at local businesses or  road side stalls. This includes cost cutting measures like trying to make our own eco friendly cleaning products etc.  Struan is dedicating his own blog to the cause here , and no doubt I will blog it too. struan is on teachers holiday (lovely) and is developing his own creative pursuits. I do find it hard to share my sewing machine and garden but maybe this will one day lead to a shared business venture! look at what he made to replace the falling apart cheap plastic peg basket. much cooler dont you think?

Giveaway results: Congratulations Susan: said...Lovely! Happy Birthday and Happy New Year!

Thank you for all the lovely comments received so far and I will draw the winner on wednesday the 6th of jan nz time. Good luck!

Christmas part 1

It  was a lovely day in rural Orinoco, filled with the sounds of a whole lot of Ukes (the craze has spread through the whole family, even my mother-in-law has one (yellow!)), children, good food and plenty of sun.  A lovely present from the talented brother, a customised babushka doll.

joy on the face of a babe receiving his baby. ( as his mama  I love to see his nurturing looks, cuddles and snuggles- we must be doing something right!)

Reminder....Have to be in it to win it (family and friends welcome....) leave a comment (delurk) to enter giveaway. Entries close on the 3rd of january.
