Happiness is ...

What a difference a month makes!! Here's our before (planted Labour weekend) and after photos ...





It's pathetic isn't it? To get excited over a few lettuces ....

We had a couple of days off last week and ventured out of Devonport - I know, I know, crazy stuff! We drove up to Warkworth because there's a really amazing wool shop there called Twinset & Pearls. The range of wool and colours is stunning and wonder of wonders, the button collection is fabulous. I find sourcing interesting and different buttons is really hard and they can be soooooooo expensive.
Poor Eddie having to spend his days off driving around wool shops!

We did do some touristy things though and went to Matakana, Leigh and Matheson's Bay .....





And of course there has still been time for knitting ...




I am happy to report that Issie looks like she's lost some weight! The photo is slightly misleading as she's definitely fitting more of her body on her "pedestal" ...
