morning ladies 
What a rough night we had last night with huge wind and rain.
Great reading, Jan. Thanks for sharing that piece from the diaries. I remember Norman Kirk and remember having a day off school for his funeral. And I think Mr Watties would be amazed at how big his brand is now. I agree with OHH, museums should be able to help you or otherwise your local Historical Society. Just make sure you have receipts of some sort as my mother-in-law donated a piece for the Auckland Museum and when she wanted it back, they couldn't find it.
I keep meaning to upload the photos of the bag I sewed, will do that sometime today. It's quite a handy size so will be useful. And I've decided to keep it lol.
Today I hope to plan my next piece of embroidery. I'm not sure what it will be so may even surprise myself. Over the next week we will be pretty busy with family stuff so I may not be posting as often.
Happy crafting
