We spent last week touring and camping around the top of the South Island. It was great to get out of town and see some new places. The beaches were lovely and we managed to keep the wekas out of our tent. They are totally fearless birds but fascinating to watch. Despite the fact that we were travelling in Golden Bay, much of the sand was the light orange colour of jaffa biscuits.

I've just started a wholecloth baby quilt in the last week for friend Fud's second baby, due in July. Since the quilt for the first baby was the Spawn of Fud quilt, calling this one the Respawn quilt seems appropriate. I'll put some progress reports in my scrapbook as it comes along.
