spring has arrived

SPRING'S HERE!!!!!!!!
Tuis infest the blossom trees today sucking all the nector from these glorious flowers.
I spotted around 12 Tuis perched in a crowd. Taking photos were a nightmare as they clambered away out of view as soon as I pressed the silver button down.
The sun peers out of the clouds regurally but hides too.
Nearly able to swim but we've got to be patient.

Sunday Market and our week happenings

Hi, the Pirongia Sunday market was stunning. The candles were a hit and they were all sold out in an hour! The bean bags were second on the top selling charts and all the rest were not far behind. But if your can make it there you can make it anywhere. My opinion on our items is to maybe make them with different materials that you havent used before or the two bean bag groups could swap materials for different designs. Some groups need to polish up their items a bit, give them something bigger, better!
