It is nice to see you pop up here & to know that you're OK. Your light has been missed. But also good on you do for doing what you need to protect your own well-being, very much practicing what you preach!

Also, if there's an earthquake in Auckland when I'm at home, I will likely be found under my fabulous collection of precariously balanced boxes.

After spending a few days tidying & rearranging in my craft room, I can confidently state that if I quit work today & spent 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, in my craft-room for the rest of my life, it would still not be enough time to complete all the projects I have supplies for.

Celebrated the second night of 2026 by drinking a whole bottle of prosecco & re-watching Lucifer on Netflix while trying to finish one of last year's stitching projects.
Also, I am officially "has to change glasses to thread a needle"-years-old!

I know right. I've lived such a sheltered life, not a single near death experience to report!

Thanks for this new year's treat @witchnwords.bsky.social
I haven't been reading much recently. Based on some of the tips on my feed today (thanks @kats-garden.nz & @melbailey.bsky.social) I might have to abandon the book I've been slogging through & make a start on one of these beauties.

The #SecretSantaAoNZ joy continues. Spent the day in my craft room, making a (very small) card set for a friend, using pretty papers I got in my secret Santa package this year. Thanks Santa!

Guests have just departed, now the proper holidaying can begin. Many days with no plans or commitments or places to be- bliss. Bring on the Lego & TV!

After three days of cleaning my house is finally fit to have overnight guests who arrive this afternoon. That's the price of slacking off on cleaning all year!

Arrived at pak'n'save Albany at 7am, leaving at 8.11am with a boot full of groceries. Not bad for Christmas eve. There sure were a lot of people up early to beat the rush!

Thanks to my husband's very eclectic Christmas playlist, I've just learned Wheatus once released "Christmas Dirtbag", a re-worked version of their one hit. They're singing the wrong words. It's like the "Christmas/Love is all around" debacle all over again.

It really is a Christmas miracle to have a stranger study the little pieces of ourself we reveal on this website & then put together amazing personal gifts for us. Huge thanks to Santa's elves for all they do to make this miracle happen #SecretSantaAoNZ

OK, this one is genius - some blue knitted ankle warmers (excuse my crusty feet), inspired by one of my mid-winter secret Santa posts, where I described wearing holey socks with my slippers, to keep my ankles warm without my feet over-heating. I love them 😍 #SecretSantaAoNZ

Next up a tui pencil case made by @thesewphist.bsky.social & two of my favourite pens. And a gorgeous tiny painting of a blue penguin (by one of my Santa's family members). And forget-me-not earrings made of recycled ice-cream containers! so much arty goodness #SecretSantaAoNZ

First up a very pretty card, some puzzle books & a copy of George Penney's book- I love her posts when they cross my feed. All the presents had little origami folded explanatory notes included. The sudoku book is just in time, the one currently in my handbag is falling apart! #SecretSantaAoNZ
