Hello! I hope you're keeping well and warm on these midwinter days. I thought I'd share some photos from my week. This is pretty much what I've been up to: admiring the first daphne blooms, sewing, embroidery and quite a lot of work, but I don't have a pretty image for that.
Have you heard of Plastic Free July? I wanted to get involved by making lots of shopping bags from recycled fabrics, and maybe doing some giveaways on here. It might all have been a pipe dream though, as I've found myself a bit busy of late.
Never too busy to go plastic-free though… and I did find the time to make myself a new shopping bag. This is made from striped denim and lined in vintage cotton cut from an old curtain. I used this pattern from my blog – maybe you feel like making one too?

Tomorrow a friend and I will be heading along to Capital Fibre Fest in Upper Hutt. It promises to be a fun event with heaps of spinning, weaving, knitting and, of course, yarn shopping. You should check it out if you're free tomorrow in the capital.
The other thing I wanted to tell you about was Nanette by Hannah Gadsby (on Netflix). You've probably already seen it by now. Or, at least, heard all about it. I watched it last week and found it really did live up to the critical praise – I thought it was amazing. Moving and funny and intense. I think you will like it.
