I'm in NZ and was having a natter on the phone to my Mum in UK. They're having friends over for lunch and she's making a cottage pie - she was asking me what I though would go well with that as a couple of side dishes  - do you have any ideas that I can pass on to Mum - full credit given of course :-)

Can anyone please tell me where I can buy embroidery/stitchable blanks in NZ? - like cushion covers, pillowcases, tea-towels, totes etc. I've made some of my own - pillowcases and cushion covers, but the only outlets I can find are in US.

Hope you can help :-)

Hey there,

I'm based in Napier and really keen to know of any craft fairs in NZ, particularly the North Island. How do I find out when and where they take place?

Hope to hear from you
