Around a year ago now, one of my close friends was having a baby shower. As a non-parent, I always struggle with buying gifts for people's kids - so I decided to make something a bit different. We were having a dinosaur-themed party, because of her interest in history and geology (and also, DINOSAURS, like, come on. Who doesn't love dinosaurs?), so I knew what my subject matter would be. I also knew the colour scheme, thanks to this inspiration cake from Luxury Cakes. Now, I needed to figure out the details.

 Who is behind Little Dog Barking – Theatre Company?Peter Wilson, Director, established Little Dog Barking in 2010. Peter’s vision for the company is to create innovative and original theatre productions for Early Childhood and Lower Primary School audiences.

As well as raffle donations from our lovely stallholders, we have also received contributions from generous people outside the Petone Winter Markets stallholder community. We're thrilled to introduce our first contributor, the fabulous Jo! Tell us a bit about yourself, please, Jo!"Hi Everyone,
My name is Jo and for the last 17yrs I have been a writer/author. I think I was always a writer…I write to think…always jotting down notes, making lists, journaling. My job in any organisation was writing the newsletters, reports, articles. But 17yrs ago I got serious. I tried my hand in multiple genres, short stories, poems, reflections, children’s stories, stories for radio, entering competitions. During that time, I had short stories, reflections, poems published, a story included in an anthology and had a children’s book called Talking to Nanny published through Learning Media." 
We're talking about needle-felting with Jann from Jinglebugs and Makeit. You can catch her at the August and September Petone Winter Markets.  Today, we’re talking to Nikki – you can find her stall, Shop Nikkis, at the July and August Petone Winter Markets.  Nikki does hand-made crochet- not your usual blankets and booties, though. She’ll take on pretty much anything from science fiction and fantasy. What is crochet?
 Over the last few weeks, I have been developing a series of colourable items. Here are the first ones in this series - my colourable patches. They feature designs from my Dinosaur Activists, Kiwiautomata, and Poster Kitties ranges.
