Halloween Survey results revealed!
Halloween is creeping up! Our recent Halloween Survey has revealed what New Zealanders REALLY think of Halloween. Did you know that only 1 in 10 households give out healthy snacks to trick or treaters, or that our favourite thing to dress up as is a ‘witch’?
We found out that some participants have some pretty wacky costume ideas like; ‘Donald Trump', ‘an inflatable flamingo’ a ‘popcorn vendor’ and ‘grumpy grannies’. Comment below with what you'll be dressing up as this year!
💡 A Little Brain Buzz for You⚡
I have two faces, but show you only one.
I once had guests, but now have none.
I’m rarely bloody and seldom blue.
I’m often promised and sometimes new

Pick 'N' Mix Textiles for Adults & Teens
Pick 'N' Mix is at Highland Park Library this Sunday (22nd March) 12.30pm - 3.30pm
Support sustainability and get creative with the Thread Exchange!
This hands‑on programme encourages the re‑use of fabric and showcases how fun and accessible sewing can be. Using a specialised cutting machine, you’ll select and cut out a pre‑designed sewing project—anything from small accessories to simple craft items.
Once your pieces are ready, you can stay and assemble your project in the library, enjoying a relaxed, social crafting environment, or take the pieces home to complete them yourself or for someone else. It’s a great way to try a new skill, share resources, and keep perfectly good fabric from being wasted.
This session is open to adults and teens of all sewing levels, from absolute beginners to experienced makers. Friendly assistance is available to help those new to sewing.
All materials are provided—just bring your creativity and enthusiasm!
There will also be some pieces of fabric for sale at bargain prices!
