Cornwall Park



 
 
Last Saturday, while Miss 6 was attending a birthday party at the Cornwall Park kiosk, I kept myself busy with camera in hand, checking out the park itself. The park is centered on a dormant volcanic cone called One Tree Hill which has many geological & historical features. It once had a Maori pa (fortification) built on the cone. 
 
It was a beautifully sunny day and there were plenty of photo opportunities...

new workroom


 
I haven't been around for a while as I've been busy setting up a workroom for Miss 17 & myself. We found local premises with a very reasonable rent (5 minutes walk from home) and have been moving in. Here's some preliminary pictures of what our main workroom space looks like. The pattern & fabric cutting table was sourced from a garment manufacturer liquidation. We had to enlist Mr B, Sydney and Sonny to carry it up 2 flights of stairs and then they put the table together for us.
 
Our upstairs workroom has a main room (which you can see in the photos) and then 4 rooms off it. We're still moving all our sewing stuff in (there's literally many metres of fabric plus habydashery to transport). I'll post more photos when we're fully set up.
 
Happy weekend folks!
