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...
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.
