You can never have enough...

morning ladies Happy New Year!

I didn't hear any fireworks last night but MrK said the family down the main road a bit were letting some off. The Furry One must be going deaf as he never heard them either. He was in la-la land, sleeping soundly and wagging his tail while having his doggy dreams. Was so funny to watch lol.

This morning we were both up early and MrK has made some rhubarb and courgette chutney (made up his recipe) while I finished the weeding. For once the westerly wind was useful by keeping the temperatures down so I could keep going. Now all I need is to buy some of that stretchy yarn stuff for tying up the dahlias as MrK used the last of it for the tomatoes. Bunnings seem to be the only one selling it. I thought I had lost the hostas I planted under the maple tree a while back, but nope, they were just buried under the weeds.

I found a NZ embroidery/quilting/sewing website called Plume Art & Stitch last night that sells silk embroidery threads. It's in Levin of all places. Sometimes smaller towns can beat the cities for stuff like this. The table runner I want to embroider for my sister-in-law will be pohutukawas and I thought silk thread would add a bit of glamour to it. They also sell Shasiko cloth and thread, something on my embroidery bucket list to do.

I hope 2024 brings us many happy hours doing what we love most with who we love the most. Happy New Year
