This is Apumoana Marae in Rotorua.
All of our campus stayed at this marae. We were there for a national conference for two days.
This marae was so beautiful.

Spring is here. The weather has been beautiful.


we went to the midwife today and got to hear the baby's heart beat !

i have made progress on the blanket and baby pants for sage and will post pics this weekend!

185 days til baby arrives.

got my first ultra sound last week. i was so surprised, to see baby move...seems silly to be surprised about that.

i am feeling alot less tired. i am thankful that it's the weekend.

still working on the knitted red pants for sage and baby blanket for the bun in the oven.

There is a great pizza place here in New Zealand called HELL

when you call they say "welcome to hell" and their number is 0800 666 111-hahahha and if you are interested in their menu - http://www.hell.co.nz/

i am boring and always get the same thing a "limbo" blue cheese , mushroom, carmelised onions pizza sometimnes with olives and sometimes not.

they have other pizza named things like "lust" , "gluttony", "pride" - you get the picture.


all the kids that work there wear all black and wear head scarves-- and the restaurant painted all black inside and benches look like coffins.

but the new feature on their pizza box - threw me over the moon - the punch out coffin!!!! love it !!! except it was all grease-y as you can see.. but it 's a perfect little box to store your left overs in!!!

working on lavender and white striped cashmere baby blanket - yarn courtesy of Jonathan.
and the red knit pants for my friend's baby -SAGE.

I am also posting a picture of a bunch of fabric I bought to make some summer dresses!! It's light weight cotton rayon jersey.. really nice draping .

It just turned spring here, it's still pretty cool though..but we've had more sun !!!
