Queenstown is a beautiful town and I highly recommend visiting - any time of the year. The adventure capital of the world, we have squeezed a few of those adventures in. Here is a quick video outside our AirBnB overlooking Lake Wakatipu. Now share where you are right now. It doesn’t need to be a breath taking view - just a pick of where you are.

my son and I are waiting at the airport super early. So I grabbed this mag. A friend introduced it to me many years ago. What was the last magazine you picked up?

Tomorrow's coffee hour is sewing a rolled hem with me - even the corners.

Day 1 you got your scrap of fabric and cut it into a square or rectangle. We are just practicing doing the hem so you don't need a lovely piece of fabric yet. A piece of light weight cotton will do. Today Must Haves: 1. Get the right needle for your fabric 2. Get the right thread for your fabric You can find out both in the Fabric Needle Thread Download in the Classroom under "Start Here" Optional Extras 1. Thread conditioner - wax/bees wax your thread so it doesn't curl as your sew (this is not essential, it can make it a little easier to sew. 2. A padded board, something to pin your fabric to as you stitch. This makes the process much faster. I use a mini ironing board.

What do you do during the week for work? If you no longer work what did you use to do? For many years I was an accountant/commercial manager. It was only at 40 that I returned to a creative field (where I should have been all along). I started by doing an intensive graphic design course and I loved it. While I was finding my creative feet, I served on independent school boards. It was in these roles I got to experience what good working relationships between men and women can achieve. Your turn.
