I’m still not the best at sharing pictures of my earrings. Thankfully the team at Artisans Alcove shared a couple of pictures. The Artisans Alcove is in Waiuku and open weekdays 10-4.

Nothing to do with crafting… but this made my morning.

Woke up today to a rather large plant pot tipped over. As I started cleaning it up I thought, “self… it wasn’t windy last night.” Rainy yes, but definitely not windy.

So I checked the security cameras. Fair to say I never really wanted security cameras—I always thought they were a bit creepy—but here we are.

Anyway, we have them… and I could see multiple alerts showing a “person” in the driveway at 2.42am through to 2.47am.

I couldn’t download the footage, so I wandered around outside instead finding broken plants and moved rocks, like someone had been rushing up the driveway. I was getting more than a little uneasy.

I was just about ready to consider moving house when hubby got home and managed to download the video.

Turns out my late-night intruders were cows.

Absolutely no threat to society. Just very committed to rearranging my garden at 2.42am.

I’ve recently met Melissa and she’s looking to grow her client base.

If you’re looking for a hairdresser she rents a chair in Papakura, check out her page and give her a follow. Her work looks amazing.

Remember the other day when I said to trust the process?

Well… here is the finished piece.

My aim was to create a sign inspired by our family sign that I made earlier this year (which I still haven’t shared yet!).

This final design is what spoke to me — and I absolutely love it 🥰

Sometimes you really do just have to go with the flow.

So exciting —

Imagine this: hubby walks in with a parcel for me and I’m scanning my brain trying to remember what I’ve bought now 😂

Surprise! It’s the Getting Lost Game – Business Edition cards I won the other night. Their delivery time is AMAZING.

Note - I may have been referred to as a goldfish at this stage, but I don’t care — I’m off to stick my nose in the book and start playing with the cards.

Thanks again to Getting Lost for such an awesome prize pack! I absolutely love it and I also love your packaging.
