NZCQ @ Craftwerk

It was time for another Craftwerk, this time part of the Cross St Carnival being held on Sat 16th Feb. The whole of Cross St was shut down and it really did feel like a carnival atmosphere. There were awesome live bands playing throughout the day, my favourite being the Benka Bordovski Bordello Band who played right at the end and had the whole crowd tapping their toes and dancing. There were a few tense moments when it seemed it might rain but luckily the only kind of downpour happened right at the end when many were packing up their stalls.

A few people were disappointed that I had no actual cupcakes on sale and I felt really bad to let them down since they had been looking forward to them since the last Craftwerk. But council regulations came into play because it was outdoors and as I still do my baking from a domestic kitchen, it was too much paperwork to deal with and easier to just miss them out this time.

But at the next Craftwerk i WILL be selling all your favourites so watch this space or keep an eye on www.craftwerk.co.nz for the next date. I promise you will get your sugar hit that you've been wanting!

What did I sell instead of my cupcakes? My other passion of course - cross stitch. I did a couple of designs from my favourite craft book "Subversive Cross Stitch" but the rest were my own designs and I think they turned out kinda rad. Keep an eye out for them at the next Craftwerk, I think the mini cupcake cross stitches and the cupcake writing sets will be popular.
