Hello! I hope you're having a good weekend and the sun is shining where you are. 

We've had a beautiful weekend but in typical Wellington style it's included rain, hail, sunshine, storms and a bitterly cold wind. Plus a dusting of snow on the mountains in the distance.

Thanks again for your messages on this post. I want to write back to every one individually!

I drew some winners randomly for the three parcels, and they were Susie D, Tonia and Fiona B. Thank you again, XX

Some music I am really enjoying at the moment is Day of the Dead, an album put together by Aaron and Bryce Dessner of The National. It features Grateful Dead songs covered by a huge number of interesting musicians – there's at least 5 hours' worth of music to explore (this particular track is a favourite of mine)

The photos above are altogether unrelated to this post, but I felt like uploading them: at the top is a recent embroidery I worked and at the bottom is an outtake from the photos I took for this project, and stars Keira's dress-up silk cape and hands back when they were smaller. Complete with chipped nail polish, even.
