tiny happy

Kia ora! Hope July is treating you well in your part of the world.

Look at those beautiful socks my dear friend Felicia knitted for me. They arrived in the post as a complete surprise and totally made my week. I mean, look at them! They're beautiful. I think she may have used the pattern ''Emily's Favourite Socks'' (found here on Rav).  Thank you Felicia for this super generous and practical gift.

When I went outside yesterday morning before work, the sun was just getting started too, and playing with the roses that grow against the side of our kitchen wall. I had to capture those complicated shadows.

I'm heading off shortly to join in the fun at Craft Camp! I can't wait to make some new friends and learn some news things. And just have some generally crafty company. I'll be teaching two workshops on wool embroidery. In the last photo above you can see the stitch sampler I've prepared, and the car is packed with baskets of yarn, hoops and fabric. And chocolate-chip cookies. I'll be sure to report back next week.

P.S If you're in the Wellington/Hutt region, you might want to head to Capital FibreFest tomorrow. It looks wonderful.
