I got to do piping - for the first time (excluding putting cream in brandy snaps) had to go out and find a piping things too!
In other slightly related news - in that i was there for crafting purposes - the best refuse shop in Wellington is at the Brooklyn land fill. Yesterday we went to the Upper Hutt one - not too bad, but the Brooklyn one is better again. The Porirua one is ok, but still none of these come close to the Super Shed of Christchurch.
Still I got several costume patterns - some of which i will sell & I will at least attempt to make a "Matrix" coat. There are a couple of "medieval" type costumes which I may even be so generous as to offer the patterns to my SCA friends... or see if they are suitable.
In the meantime I have 2 more cupcakes which just wont fit into a container for safe keeping! nom nom nom
