Mystery holiday and a couple crafty pieces

In mid October Bridie and I went on an AirNZ mystery holiday. It had a bit of a rough start with our flight on Friday morning being delayed, then cancelled and we were put on a later flight, then all flights that day were cancelled and we were put on a Saturday flight. We didn’t wanna go away for just one night so we rang the mystery wknd ppl and asked if there was a possibility they could change all our bookings to be Sat-Mon instead. Thankfully they said leave it with us and we went out to brunch while they worked their magic hehe. 

On the Saturday morning we headed off to the airport for attempt two, and it was successful and saw us end up in Christchurch!! So much fun. We have been there before, but not with a rental car so we got to do some different things this time round. We caught up with Miri (one of Bridie’s friends), did some shopping, went to the hot pools, played mini golf, went up the gondola, enjoyed the riverside market and some of the other eateries, visited a distillery (twice), wandered a few parks and overall just had a blast. 

I’ve also been doing some crafting, some is slow project stuff that is still on the go, but got a couple things finished so thought I would share them. The set of drawers turned out super good, they look so much fancier than they did when I got them and I love seeing them in my room. The denim jacket was mostly done cos the t-shirt with the zombie on it wore out but I couldn’t throw that part away. It does turn out that 3 lots of spray paint on the back of a denim jacket is probably the limit, it’s very stiff now (whoops lol). For those who didn’t know, this jacket has had 2 other designs on the back lol
