Introducing our new puppy Sago. She is 8 weeks old and really sweet, full of energy and really happy to lie down and nap! Master B and Master W thinks she is pretty cool!

Now the plan is to get a full nights sleep and get her over being away from us during the nights!

I got to do some knitting while away on holiday

Baby Blanket in 9ly wool

I also brought some felted wool from Fine Wools Wanaka- this one ball will apparently be enough for one adult sized crochet hat. Just need to track down the pattern!

Felted Wool Grey

The Book of Needlecraft- $10 from an op shop!

I have also finished another lap quilt front for a friend- just needs batting and to be quilted together

And since Christmas is fast approaching - I have seen a friend making a non chocolate Advent for her family, I wanted to do one for us as well. My pinterest has a few things pinned for advent. Just purchased 25 mini terracotta pots today!

Getting excited about Christmas and also enjoying this beautiful weather and my garden flowering!

We are home!! LOVED our holiday. Master B and Master W enjoyed it and were really settled considering the distance we traveled and also not being in their own beds but the wonders of routine is that its the same no matter where you are.

I was amazed at how much more I got to see of New Zealand and of course how beautiful it all is (if you get a chance to travel to see it- do it!!) and thankfully the weather was awesome the whole time for use and even got to visit and stay with some of Mr B's family.

Here are some photos of our travels and here is a map of the south island - photos are in no particular order of our travels

Our Wedding Anniversary

Creative Mama 1 comment

October the 22nd is our 5th Wedding Anniversary!!!!

Here are a few Wedding photos from our day. I have the most wonderful husband!!!

We make it a priority every year to celebrate our anniversary and also give gifts. But after all the aftershocks places to stay are either booked/expensive or a lack of places to stay as people are still coping with all the Christchurch aftershocks (which we are still having and we had a 5.5 the other week) and I really don't think we could leave Master B or Master W for more than a day anyways...so this year we are taking some time out as a family.

I've been getting stuff done!

I have been trying to get lots done before the end of the week. I was sure I had an extra week before Labour weekend but I was wrong!

Started our Christmas cards and been catching up with a friend - and I have been doing lots of cutting strips, folding card and stamping "Merry Christmas"
