latest crochet WIPS

Loving this blanket going to be warm and cosy this winter............
Pauls mum is visiting us in February so made a lovely granny blanket that should keep her warm and
cosy.  Loved doing this blanket as i used a 7.00mm hook and chunky yarn really pleased with how it turned out.

sunsets and then this came on the back of 2 cyclones passing over NZ



very wet, windy, very very warm and humid.

Merry Christmas from New Zealand

We have now been in our wee cafe for 7 weeks now and I can`t believe how quickly it has passed.  We have loads of lovely customers and are starting to settle down a wee bit.  Been making lots and lots of scones so am getting to be a bit of an expert, also loads of cakes and biscuits.

Still trying to get our head around xmas in the sun,  Loving walking along the beach after work, planning on having a very quiet christmas as we have been very busy in the cafe.  Found time to have a wee walk along the beach on christmas Eve.........

Me and my lovely husband Paul

Merry Christmas from New Zealand

Missing satsumas from home I used to eat them by the packet but found the next best things the cherries are so delicious here and I love the packaging on these ones.

Have a safe and happy christmas xxxx


A wee bit of crochet to finish off with my crochet christmas tree from royal sisters pattern just a shame that the background is so bleak
