Over the summer holiday my mother and I visited Broomfields, which is a lovely craft store specialising in needlework kits and supplies.
I bought some mottled grey linen and hand dyed 'Simply Shaker' threads in the beautifully-named shades of 'crystal lake' and 'cucumber' to use during the year ahead. And I also got a special Danish needlepoint kit which I'm very excited about cracking open (thanks Mum).
I used some of the linen and thread to do a bit of free-form embroidery this weekend. It's quite a treat having new supplies to play with.

Also this week I was lucky enough to see Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds play live here in Wellington and it was a wonderful night. His new album Skeleton Tree is a current favourite and the gig included fantastic live versions of some of those songs, (this, the title track, was my favourite) as well as some older stuff. Heartbreaking and beautiful.
