IN NEED OF KNITTERS
Good morning Neighbours,
I am apart of an amazing team of ladies at an organisation called Mummy's in Need. We strive to relieve poverty by supplying families in hardship with baby items, emotional support, clothing, food, and other necessities. You can read more about what we do here! www.mummysinneed.co.nz...
A family has come to us where their 15 month girl was born with a bigger left arm, (Paediatricians still don't know why) and being in winter they're struggling to find clothing that fit over her left arm/hand so we're looking for people that may be able to knit a few items for this little girl that specifically will fit over her hand so she at least has warmer clothes in these chilly months.
If anyone would kindly love to help or can, it would be more than appreciated. We want to make sure everyone is safe, warm and have the love from the community they deserve - Feel free to private message me if you have any questions.
Have a lovely day!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
