FNSI results

Oh how I love Friday evenings, that feeling of winding down from a busy week with home made pizza and oven-fries while watching a movie, traditions like that are so nice.  Last night was made even nicer because it was Friday Night Sew In, so I happily stitched away on my Winterwoods ABCs.  With a little bit of stitching fitted into today as well, I have completed three rows and am still loving it!  Today was a perfect autumn day and we spent the afternoon at Waitakaruru Arboretum and Sculpture Park, beautiful scenery, my photos don't really do it justice.  The last photo is typical of Waikato county-side, the region of NZ that I live in, gentle rolling hills and plenty of grass and cows.  It's the last day of school holidays tomorrow then back to the usual routines.  Wendy xx

  13. Your flying through that stitching Wendy. Love the photos. A couple of years ago we drove from Auckland to Rotorua & back, the only time I have been in the North Island (other than Auckland airport) higher than Masterton where we lived when I was 4. It was so pretty & so home I wanted to cry at the greeness & beauty. 3 days later we flew home to Perth, brown & sand baa humbug! Tracee xx
