Thanks!

To the kind people who have made comments – it has been really unexpected and rather thrilling!  I mean, the blogosphere is so big now that i feel like it is a small miracle to get noticed at all, let alone so soon after i began.  So, what plans for the weekend?  My parents are away on holiday for a month so we are going to stay at their house on Waiheke Island  and have a lovely couple of days free of flatmates and teenagers.  (My SO and the Teenager have sorted things out and are back to being amicable again, phew!  She is not a bad kid at all – are they still kids at 17? – but rather stubborn, AND an Emo to boot – sigh!)…anyway, yes, my parents’ house has a nice view across the harbour and you can watch the weather changing and the boats coming and going, and i intend to watch Hogfather on dvd and work on my 2nd Inebriated Bunny Hat in crochet.  A friend and i are doing Round the Bays next month, which is a huge local fun run/walk that attracts about 70,000 people every year, and we decided to dress up a bit this time.  For my first attempt i managed to crochet the whole thing in the wrong stitch and it came out twice the size it should have!  (photos to follow.) 

So i hope everybody else has something equally enjoyable planned. Somehow i feel like a post won’t be complete without a photo, especially when i look at all the craft blogs and see the lovely photography; so here’s a photo of the plants that live on my desk at work.  They sit on a couple of our old wooden card catalogue drawers, which makes me feel like i have done some useful recycling!
