a temporary home

We are lucky enough to be looking after the beautiful, big house of some friends who have gone overseas for a while. It's a wonderful, airy wooden house built in the classic colonial NZ style- with many more rooms than we're used to. It's lovely living here for a while- there are times when the children just disappear and we don't see them for an hour or so. Which is rather the opposite of what would happen in our Norwegian home. There's a big wooden staircase, a huge vegetable garden, and three friendly cats. And best of all- I can 'look after' my friend K's studio (she is a weaver) so I am quite excited about firing up my sewing machine again and getting back to work.
