These little pansy or viola flowers are popping up in the garden this week, showing their cheerful faces and not seeming to mind the spring rain. I'm starting to feel better after nearly a week with the 'flu, which I don't recommend to anyone. Seriously. But something that did help was sitting very still, calmly working some free-form wool embroidery.
If you're in the South Island of NZ, you might like to check out this fantastic project, NZ on Screen. My friend Anna, in conjunction with the Real NZ Festival, is taking a souped-up caravan around the country, parking it in small towns and showing a selection of NZ feature film, short film and television. You can click here to see the South Island schedule. I'm looking forward to checking it out this weekend.
