my virtual friend jacinta likes her coffee strong and hot, just like me. she's incredibly creative, and has a wonderful baltic amber necklace threading groove going on. she also makes beautifully handcrafted silver jewellery, in the sunshine,
in her chookmook studio
at the bottom of the south island.
i've had my eye on jacinta's stuff for rather a while, and a couple of weeks ago she generously agreed to a swapsie. would you believe it, jacinta's favourite colour is *red*... and mine is *sunshine yellow*... so my half of the swap is *surprise!* a
with a chookmook pocket:
and oh. my. freaking. giddy. aunt.
lookit what the courier just delivered:
unbelievably exquisite. but wait. there's more:
which came with our very own poem:
Katie and Bulldog
up a tree
KISS
ING
lol... must have been some kissing tree,
with five beautiful talented kiddos

Those necklaces are so simple yet so fabulous! I love them :)
Thanks for the bloggy love ... I love my apron.
I'll let you in on a little secret - I'm too scared to get it dirty, lol.
And a wee message from Aaron: "tell her, her music rocks!". He's having a wee boogie to 'here comes the sun'.
Hope you guys have a great weekend. It's brrr chilly here, and we're off swimming soon (indoors).
PS: thanks for the Etsy linkage, you must have the magic sparkly touch - I've just had a couple of sales ;)
You are quite the apron maker! Good work on both your parts. Hope you're enjoying the weekend.

Love the necklaces- but the aprons - I've been trying to resist but I'm gonna have to make one - some - lots.... Actually, I've been meaning to make some aprons for literally years - long before I saw your blog, but since then the urge has been growing. Not that I've ever made one! Still gotta be a first time. (and a second, third, fourth, twentieth etc I suspect!)Gotta finish the shirts I've started first tho. Probably...
Your parents were wise indeed!
I watched the DVD with Meredith a few months ago and we both liked it. She kept trying to find "Girl" on itunes, but no on itunes, we forgot. I did find the short version Jim Sturgess sang in the movie.
Excellent review from BullDog! Now you have both made me want to watch it again!
(If I want to watch a movie with Mark, it has to be an action flick: Indiana Jones, Pirates, World War II movies. Hey, that reminds me -- have you guys seen "The Great Escape"? That's one everyone here will watch. :)
We watched this movie with friends a couple of months back and I was surprised at how much I loved it. Not a big beatles fan but I LOVED the way many of these songs were sung.
