Mini Tokyo.

Was lucky enough to go to Tokyo for the New year celebrations. While I was there I picked-up a SQ30m by monogram, a tiny pocket digital camera, a toy camera... sort of a digital lomo. A lot of fun for only 21 grams of camera. Here are some of the shots.

Op Shop Adventure.

Went to the Red Cross Op Shop in New Lynn and found the most amazing set of children's books. There are ten all together and then have everything from nursery rhymes to Greek mythology to Pride and Prejudice and Alice in Wonderland.

Also found some lovely fabric, two doilies and a set of two books on shorthand. I had never realised shorthand what shorthand was. Here's an example, it's the scratchy marks.

I have also finally finished my Owl and also felted a bird pincushion.

And this is Meow Face, he's the neighbours cat but he likes hanging out at our place. He is currently sleeping on the couch.

National Alpaca Day 2010

I did not know we had a National New Zealand Alpaca Day, so what did we do? We visited an Alpaca Farm and got an education in Alpacas.

We visited Silverdale Alpacas, one of many Alpaca farms around Auckland that had opened their doors to the public for the day. It was so much fun, we got to chat to the breeder and pat the animals. I hadn't realised how think and soft their fleece is. Would defiantly visit another farm next year and I would highly recommend it to all of you.
