Blue Bungalow sometimes has cute plus size clothes. You do need to check the measurements carefully though. They often have good sales as well. I’ve gotten some great clothes from them.

Love all the animals. Special place in my heart for platypuses. And sea turtles. #SecretSantaAoNZ

So just checked for this online and discovered that Tio Pablo do a tin of cheese stuffed jalapeño peppers in tomato sauce. www.tiopablo.co.nz/product-page...

Oh wow! I’m going to have to try and find those. So convenient.

I have not. I will have to remedy that. Chiles rellenos are one of my favs and I’ve never tried to make them at home.

Jalapeño poppers are the best. Just had some excellent batter fried ones from Bebemos in Pōneke. Love them wrapped in bacon and grilled too.

Same! Hoping for inspiration over the weekend.

Socks and slippers but I knit my own socks, gloves and hats. However, a skein of a really cool locally dyed (or hand dyed by you) yarn never goes amiss. 😁 #SecretSantaAoNZ

No allergies to anything anyone would send me. I’m not a huge fan of white chocolate, preferring dark chocolate. No coffee grinder so plunger grind if getting coffee. Though anything is good. The fact someone took the time to get/make me something will make me joyful. 💕 #SecretSantaAoNZ

I’m a knitter. I also crochet. And I collect yarn and patterns. Some day I am going to learn to sew and weave. 😁 I also love to read, mostly science fiction and mysteries. I like the idea of gardening more than the actual work though I do have a small veggie patch and herb garden #SecretSantaAoNZ

Oh. Forgot to add that I also wear pins, mostly animals, that can be used to close cardigans or pin shawls and scarves.

I’m a pierced earring person. Love interesting earrings that can remind me of a place or person. Prefer hooks to studs though have and wear both. Like all the materials. #SecretSantaAoNZ

And submission complete. Yay! #nzpol

Just gonna keep saying it: There is no point growing the pie if the wealthy keep eating all of it.

Love all the jewel tones, bright and moody, but not pastels. Especially love deep purples, dark blues, and bright turquoise.
