Holy cow! I never knew there was such goodness about 20 minutes from home. On Saturday the smalls and I headed to the Powerhouse Discovery Centre for their Handmade Revolution open day.
We had such a lovely time. I wish both my smalls were less grumpy - particularly the bigger small, but not to worry, I can't wait to head back.
We made paper lace, participated in the outdoor weave in (I loved this), watched as ladies made lace (something I would love to learn), and had a go of 3 metre knitting needles. And I even got to chat with Shane Waltener, the artist behind the weave in. That was pretty thrilling.
This place is the business!
The Powerhouse Discovery Centre also hosts a number of activities during the school holidays. Amongst them, Lego workshops. I'm sure you can guess who's being booked in. Unfortunately - not me. But I know the Doctor will dig it!
+++ Check out the Mexican-stylie wheelie bin: it serves as their solar powered PA system. How cool is that?!
