Welcome 2008, in all your sunshiney, warm (and inevitable in NZ - windy) glory. This weather bodes well. Somehow it seems wrong to be planning winter crafting while nursing sunburned lower legs but the burst of Vitamin D I've had the last few days has energised my organisational capabilities. The "school" cupboards have had a summer-clean, sort, chuck and tidy; books have been ordered from Amazon; knitting swapsies have been started; reading lists are being dreamed of; inspiring home-learning books are being soaked up; icecream is being consumed; bellinis and fruit punch guzzled.
