a new year

January 3, 2012

Happy new year! I hope you've had a great holiday time over the past couple of weeks, celebrating and relaxing. Here in the South Island of NZ we've had a bit of rain and cloud, but mostly life has been rather sweet. Berries, parties, sunshine, the beach and friends and family to visit. Just the way we like it.

Over the next few days we are moving cities, so I will have a little blog break until we're settled in and have internet at our new house. I am looking forward to a shiny new year of possibilities.

See you soon, friends!

Oh, your flowers brought the smell of summer back to me! It is grey and raining and dark here. Thank you for the glimpse of months to come here in the Northern Hemisphere. Have a good move, and enjoy the new island. xx

Treat yourself to a coffee in town as a reward, so much choice!

Hello and happy new year! I stumbled upon your blog while searching for a tote bag pattern (I have a lot of felted sweaters) and I love your work. Good luck with your move–what a treat to open your home page and see a bunch of sweet peas–it’s going to be below 10 F tonight in Boston MA (northeast US).
Best wishes,
Emily
