Kids Crafty in Dunedin

Ruth by the worst ever public sculpture

Alice and Eli working hard at their craft

My wool pincushion
Two weekends ago we went to Dunedin for a long weekend. Alice had learnt how to do crochet peggy squares so I was asked to bring all my remnant wool for her. Ruth got me inspired to do a wool pincushion. Using scraps from old jackets, some thread and collected buttons. Eli decided he should start stitching so he diligently started embroidering in a straight line on wool. He worked very hard at it. Ruth and I went to the worst craft show I have ever been too. Made us laugh. On the way home walking around the harbour we came to the worst ever Public sculpture. I said "it looks like teeth". Apparently it was meant to look like rotting teeth - the artist was inspired by teeth decay!!! Goodness me

A gorgeous break in Rarotonga

Woo hoo, A holiday with no kids for 11 days. Bliss, relaxing and warm! BTW it was an early 20th wedding anniversary present to ourselves....
