the crazy things i do......

Ok, so I'm 9 weeks hapu(pregnant), and feeling very nauseated at such a late stage! This is not the norm in comparison to the previous 5. Normally I'm over the tiredness, and feeling yuk stage by 6 weeks.....not this time! And it's a constant yukness that just hangs around almost all day, but is sure to find it's way back to me be the evening, oh boy!
Smells: The intense strength of smells that whoft past is somewhat too over powering at times. Red meat and ciggy smoke have to be the worst of them all!
Food: I love food, always have! Never been one to be fussy, and not really one to be into Mac D's. Oh but how that has changed!! Two foods that don't sit well with me at the mo, that otherwise I love are cucumber and celery. Oh not a good taste....but Mac D's YUMMO!!!!! I could live off this stuff! I have to say I haven't taken to my good friend Choco like I have in the past...Good for me:) Raw broccolli and dips are my favs!
And what about the things we find ourselves doing only when we are hapu??!!! Normally I'm a control freek, there I admitted it lol. But I have learnt just to let things pass by. But NOT while I'm hapu, no no no!
So i'll be outside hanging with the kids and there's a few old weeds under the sand that are just sitting there doing nothing, well not quite...they bug me...grrhh! So I try to let it pass because they're only old dried up weeds and when the new grass starts to grow through the sand it'll all be ok. We'll get the lawn nicely trimmed up in due time and it'll look nice...so I keep telling myself. Yeah right!! I get out a rubbish bag and out I go to quietly pick out all the ugly old weeds that need my attention lol. Before I know it, the bag is full and all the weeds taken care of. Good, now Im a happy hapu mama.....well until I see the next something crazy that NEEDS my attention :) Have a great afternoon Blogger friends, and we'll catch up soon xxx

Sun is shinning....

Morena everyone, the winter sun is out again today, the wintery breeze can still be caught, but the air is crisp and so awakening.....I love these mornings.

Enjoy this beautiful weather where ever you may be...we will be xxx

So here goes.......

Kiaora koutou, hello everyone!!
Well, I must say how nervous I am to be doing this! I have been reading a friends blogs now for about a week or 2, and I must say she has inspired me to get involved, thanks Tammi! As I read on and look at her photo's etc, I wonder to myself how this woman manages her kainga(home), homeschools her babies, crocquet and knits for fun, entertains us chicks, attends church, puts up regular blog post, and who knows what else.........and yet still has it all together????? Well my Sister-In Christ, ka mau te wehi koe : Your just awesome! Well thats just some loving to you anyway. Thank you for the inspiration. And I look forward to reading and getting to know more bloggers as my journey progresses. But this is my blog (lol), so lets turn the focus around to "ME".(lol)
I love doing arty farty, crafty things seeing the nothing take shape and form! However, I  haven't done anything since my arrival to Ahitereiria(Australia). My passion is weaving using natural resources such as Flax, and using it's natural fibre called Muka which is extracted from the leaf. I'd love to learn many crafty techniques, and I think I'm in the right place! I'm not too sure how to add photo's, but when I work it out i'll post some flax work I've done in the past. So watch this space fellow bloggers........
