New Zealand

My husband and I have just returned from a lovely 2 1/2 week trip to New Zealand. We saw cities, complete and crumbled, patted livestock, ate raspberry licorice, drove, ferried, walked, played in the snow and listened to The Kinks, Rolling Stones and Small Faces.

Off to the Woods

Lovely treasury I was featured in on Etsy. My black bear pieces are still my favourite - and why? Because he looks like someone else drew him!
The pieces and colours in this treasury reminds me that I'll be holidaying in frosty, green New Zealand next week! Can't wait.

Russian Faux Fur

Okay. So it's officially winter in 6 days! Last night I went shopping for bargains at the largest shopping centre in the southern hemisphere, Chadstone! They had a VIP night on which mean I saved plenty of money on my purchases! I mostly bought gifts for friends - bit did manage to justify myself one goodie, a hat! Faux fur from Forever New. As I continue to read Dr. Zhivago in the colder months it will no doubt keep my little head warm! And I'll really feel like I'm in Russia.

Boring but true

I am currently listening to Crowded Houses new album. How daggy of me. Here is the cover, it's cute! Ha.
Also today is my last day of work for a few days as this weekend is a long weekend and I am also taking some leave. Why? Because it's my husband and I's 2 year wedding anniversary. We are doing a few things around town like dancing to 60's style bands, riding bikes in chilly winds, swimming at a wave pool, being creative (jewellery making and piano playing) having family over and just plain trying to stay warm in this Arctic style winter.
Ciao!
