It's a little over a week that we decorated lovely Russell and we've had no real feedback, hardly any views on the blog. How's that for extremely laid back? Don't know what to think :-)<br />
A friend send me a few pics from the Birdman Festival in Russell, a week ago, and the canon was still there and apparently a hit with the kids. That's awesome. So I guess it's all sweet after all and I just have to except the fact that technology doesn't play an important part in the Bay of Island lifestyle. And that's why we love that place actually.<br />
<br />
Otherwise we're trying to organise our new life in WA. It's going ok but a bit slow. Waiting for my boxes to arrive with all my craft gear. So no knitbombs yet. I will have to suss out the other active yarnbombers around town. Looking forward to meeting them!<br />
<br />
warm and woolly greeting from not so warm WA<br />

Here it is - The Craft Bomber Association's NEW Yarn Attack. Right here in the beautiful heart of the Bay of Islands, Russell - Hellhole of the Pacific. We're in love with this place. We call it home and can't stay away.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Russell is one of those rare magic places that just makes you come back for more. If you're in need of serious relaxation this is the place to be. </div>

Anyway, today is our last morning in this magic place, so we wanted to leave a little behind. What better than a few woolly remnants of our present.<br />
As I mentioned earlier we got carried away a little and it was fun.<br />
<br />
<br />
So Mista SlipStitch and myself started just before dawn at the waterfront near Russell Wharf. We added a few tree cozies on the iconic Pohutukawa Trees which line the walk along the waterfront. These trees were planted in the 1930s and are the most beautiful thing in summer and anytime of year really. Not to mention the Tuis singing in them all year round.<br />
We had four tags, one is in front of each Sally's Restaurant, the Waterfront Cafe and The Gables. The last one was further down near the Town Hall.<br />

Then we went onto the next little object in need of covering. I must admit this one's a bit of an odd one. Originally this was meant to be the one and only yarn bomb in town. Soon though we realised it would have been a huge thing to cover. And we just didn't have enough time or wool for that matter to do it. So as we did for another project a while back I thought to utilise an old jumper (thanks Russell Op-Shop!). This was covered with stitching and little extras. We love the concept but like I said it looks a little weird.... :-) never mind.<br />

This canon sits outside the Town Hall right at the waterfront. The stitching at the bottom says Kororareka. At the open end we added the word Kab-L-oom. Flowers shooting out of the front. We still like it but we had stronger work before I guess.<br />
<br />
Than we thought about our Doorknob Awards and who should get one. Well, the one place that came to mind actually hasn't got any knob or handle. So we chose the nearest suitable object. This one's for what we think is one of the best galleries in New Zealand. South Sea Art on York Street.<br />

<br />There was one more place we wanted to mention as we had a great experience there. Both Mista SlipStitch and myself got something there which we will have forever. A little 'souvenir' from Russell - our home in New Zealand. So we proudly present The Craft Bomber's Association's Doorknob Award for Excellence to INK - Russell. Thanks to Pete and Karen - hope that's her name :-) - for a great experience!<br />

Well, this is it. Kia ora Russell, haere ra and ka kite ano. We will miss you! Mista SlipStitch and Missy Rogue Knitta are off to new adventure on the west island. Next time we will be in touch from across the ditch.......<br />

Well, almost. Today's been the first day where we felt a little bit cold on our first overcast & cloudy day. Never mind, we 're happy, wrapped up warm & crocheting away. Lot's to do for us. The next craft attack has already expended to a bit more than we originally had planned. Yay, very excited. Will happen some time before next Friday!<br />

What happened?! Quite frankly I'm not too sure. Life, I suppose. Some things have changed, some haven't.<br />
The main and most recent change is our move from Tauranga. Mista SlipStitch and myself are re-locating. At the moment we found refuge in the beautiful Bay of Islands, our old home in New Zealand. We'll be here for a wee while until we make the next big step over the Tasman Sea.<br />
We are headed for WA. It's all very exciting and I guess this excitement has woken us up. So we decided to make a piece of woolly adornment before we leave these shores. It will be our 'farewell' to New Zealand and a new beginning for the Craft Bomber Association.<br />

Time just flew and life has been busy so we have not tackled another project yet. <br />
However, there will be a big Art & Craft Fair in Tauranga's CBD on Saturday March 19th and we're hoping to finish a little tag for that day.<br />
<br />
In the meantime however we're still in a state of shock about the earthquake disaster down in Christchurch.<br />
It is so, so incredibly sad and very difficult to comprehend what happened. To have lost not only the majority of beautiful historic buildings that gave Christchurch its character but the loss of all those lives is just tragic.<br />
It will also most definitely have a huge impact on the whole of New Zealand.<br />
But despite the sadness and the tragedy of this it shows that New Zealanders stick together and help where they can.<br />
So our thought's go out to everyone who's been affected by this earthquake.<br />
Kia Kaha Christchurch!<br />

and now, two weeks back into almost tropical conditions in Tauranga (very warm and lot's of rain) our first action of the year as the Craft Bomber Association was to take a tag down instead of putting one up. Remember the tree cosies we put up in September (one of which was nicked)? I'm not sure if this is knit taggers protocol but we decided to take it down as it had gone soggy from all the rain and started curling down. It really didn't look nice anymore.<br />
But don't think this is a sign of giving up. Quite the opposite we're back on track. After our little holiday tagging trail we're keen to do something bigger again. So stay tuned in to find out about our next project.<br />
<br />
As always<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">warm and woolly regards</span><br />

Mista Slip Stitch and I have landed back in Kiwi land over the weekend and were thrown straight back into the normality of daily work on Monday morning. A little spaced out after a marathon journey of nearly 40hrs, the shock of temperature change of nearly 30 degrees Celsius and not to mention the shock of having to work after 7 weeks of sweet nothing, it took a few days to settle in and get back to 'normal'.<br />
But we don't want to keep you waiting any longer. Now with a slight delay (apologies to all) we'll show you our little tagging action while in Germany. We did three tags at different locations.<br />
<br />
No.1 was another wintry tag as a New Years greeting to the town of Norden in East Frisia at the North Sea coast.<br />
<br />

It was such a nice day but it was absolutely freezing. So we went from art gallery to pub to shop to pub to shop to pub.... you get the picture. Finally before we had to catch the train back we found a suitable lamppost and left our little tag behind. It actually took me a while to thread the needle because my hands where shaking so much from the cold. So here it is.</div><div><br />

</div><div>So that's our three little tags in Germany. We had bigger plans to start with but in the end spending time with friends and family was a definite priority over tagging. But we're very pleased to have left a little yarn trail on our journey. And we had a fabulous time. White Christmas, snowman building, sledging, snowball fights, open fire, mulled wine, trifle, ginger bread, candles everywhere. Bliss.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Now we're back in the heat of New Zealand's summer and getting ready for more tagging around town. So stay tuned and have an amazing New Year!!</div><div><br />

Mista Slip Stitch and myself have been stuck in extreme winterly conditions with no internet access. This didn't stop us from leaving a few tags behind which I'll upload hopefully soon.<br />
<br />
For now all the best wishes to all knitters, taggers, followers, watchers and everybody else!<br />

Waking up on Friday morning we had about 5inches of the white stuff and then Friday night another 5inches or so.<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">It's so pretty. We're loving it. Snowman building, snowball fights and yarn bombing in the freezing cold. Fantastic.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The only downfall is that we might get stuck on our journey to Germany. Our next destination. But it's all part of the adventure.</div>In the meantime enjoy these pics from Llandovery.<br />

The weather today was wild with a lot of rain on the way and strong arctic winds but it was wonderful.<br />
And Wales is beautiful even on a day like today but that's my personal view. It is a lot like New Zealand. Just a bit colder.....<br />

Mista Slip Stitch and I decided to take a lovely long break and go christmasing in the UK and Germany to catch up with friends and family.</div><div style="text-align: center;">After the usual marathon flight of over 24 hours we arrived safely in Heathrow on Thursday to a landscape that looked like this</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdk1ZbvcvZxXJG-6hlJTd0TWtkYO4D0Wr4l9Bv3ZyNiQ3nqeAc_uuhqKcfSSWBJXDAGBCuayJdEHc9i3VDBtUMRk7UiuXemMOzKyCWLActLUsP1d8Y3JlFWNz_2HKh74StWXLzs7Ar-zI/s1600/craftbomb+001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdk1ZbvcvZxXJG-6hlJTd0TWtkYO4D0Wr4l9Bv3ZyNiQ3nqeAc_uuhqKcfSSWBJXDAGBCuayJdEHc9i3VDBtUMRk7UiuXemMOzKyCWLActLUsP1d8Y3JlFWNz_2HKh74StWXLzs7Ar-zI/s400/craftbomb+001.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I mean talking about white winter Christmas. Just amazing, isn't it? We stayed near London for a couple of days before we moved on to a place called Weston-super-Mare I believe in Somerset.... please correct me, if I'm wrong. It was our first time there and it was lovely. We liked it so much that we put up our first little tag.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Yes, we stuck to the flower theme because although there was no snow in Weston it was very cold and a little summer greeting doesn't harm we thought.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This tag is along the beach promenade near a new pier they only just opened. All brand new but in the tradition of the old amusement piers.<br />
So we did go on the dodge cars, helter skelter and did some penny drops, too.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

One of our tree cosies has vanished. I suppose that is part of any yarn bomber's life.<br />
We know that someone had an eye on this one. It had been unpicked before and we went back to stitch it back up again. So there you go, someone really liked it. And that's a good thing. It actually makes us a wee bit proud that after only a short time of guerilla knitting in Tauranga people want our craft.<br />
Nevertheless we're dissappointed as our intention was to take it down when we put the next one up and auction it for charity.....<br />
<br />
So this goes to the person who took the tree cosy:<br />
<em>'Dear Treecosy-Taking-Knitbomb-Lover, if you like yarnbombing so much, please join us. We can always use a helping hand to make Tauranga more beautiful and fluffy. If craft is not your thing then maybe you can auction the cosy on behalf of the CBA and give the money to a good course, or give the cosy to a good course (like someone who really needs it, a photo would be lovely) or just hand it back (drop it off at Grindz, would you). </em><br />
<em>Well, as much as as we appreciate a fan base, we try to do this stuff for everyone's enjoyment. So please for the future, leave the knit tags up. This way a lot of people can see them and we can turn them into a good course, too.</em><br />
<em>Thank you very much!</em><br />
<em>Missy Rogue Knitta and Mista Slip Stitch</em><br />
<br />
Now on a happier note (and there always is one because sad thing just happen sometimes) we are on schedule with the next installation. Thanks to visiting yarnbombers Strickliesel and the Knitman. Loveley friends from Europe who happily knit away while we have to go after our real jobs....<br />

So thank you very much Pete, to have this sort of encouragement and local support means a lot to us!<br />
<br />
Oh, and by the way, we noticed that the lovely people of Grindz Cafe have left their 'award' up where we put it.<br />
Another big thanks! It actually looks really great on their door. <br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Well what can we say? As much as we love Art & Craft, wool and yarn bombing, New Zealand and our precious environment and a lot of other things, we do love to eat. And we do love a good coffee. What would a keen craftster (or anyone, really) do without good food and a regular dose of caffeine? Exactly, not much.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">So, this was easy. There's no other place in Tauranga we like to go to as much as we like going to Grindz Cafe. Going to Grindz means you're in for a treat. Honestly, have you tried their Almond Torte yet? If not you've seriously missed out. And if you are a Coffee kind of person, this is definitely the place to go. In our opinion they serve the BEST coffee in town. We also love the atmosphere. There's heaps of old stuff for decoration, sofas and comfy chairs to lounge in, a fire place....you name it. The whole cosy and sustaining package.</div><br />
So, here's to Steve and Lesley Graham who keep us nourished and happy. <br />
<br />
Thank you so much! We think you are FABULOUS! <br />

We love the lighter evenings.<br />
We love the warmer temperatures.<br />
We love the smell of blossoms in the air.<br />
We love the new fresh green on trees and bushes.<br />
We just love spring.<br />
Even if there still seems to be an awful lot of rain.<br />
<br />
So, here's a little glimpse of our spring inspired next project.<br />
We are aiming to have it up for Tauranga's Garden and Art Fest in November.<br />

And a good morning it is. Mr Slip Stitch has just informed me that our 'We love New Zealand' tree cosies are still snuggly in their original spot. We are very happy. Honestly, it feels good to have not only crossed the 24hr threshold but to have gone past 48 hrs now. What a wonderful Monday morning.<br />
So, if you have a chance and you're somewhere out and about in lovely Tauranga, than have a wander down and take a look.<br />
We love to hear from you. And of course we're still happily recruiting members!<br />
<br />
As always,<br />

The CBA's second craft bomb. Two weeks of freakish winds and a lot of rain put us off for a while. This meant it took us a bit longer than intended to put it up but it was worth waiting for,<br />
we think so anyway.<br />
Finally, this very morning before dawn we got up to hit Tauranga with our second craft bomb. We got to the location on Elizabeth Street just after 5am and I was just about to start stitching away when we heard a voice near by. We turned around and saw a homeless person not far from us in a house entrance. Now, you might think that's not unusual but Tauranga is not the biggest of towns and as far as we know, there is maybe only about a handful of 'regulars' sleeping in the streets. I mean, what are the chances that there's one of them exactly where we wanted to tag?<br />
Admittedly we were hesitant to go ahead. Not because we were worried but we didn't want to be chatted up. It also crossed our mind that we might tempt him to take the tags down before day light knowing they make for some nice warm blankets. We are generally happy if our tags are put to good use but selfishly we want them to be seen first.<br />
So, we decided to pack up, go home have breakfast and come back after day break. And that's what we did. At around 7am we were back and despite some more rain installed our second craft bomb in Tauranga.<br />
<br />
This craft bomb is called 'We love New Zealand!' because we do. We think it's a beautiful country and worth looking after.<br />
We really wanted this knit tag to go up about a week ago to coincide with the <i>National Clean Up Week.</i><br />
This is an annual event organized, I believe, by <i>'Keep New Zealand Beautiful'</i> (see the link to their website) helping to raise awareness about keeping the environment clean and beautiful.<br />
To follow their inspirational spirit and to work with the theme we decided to use re-cycled woollen jumpers for this project.<br />
We chose two lovely big gum trees on either side of a roundabout in Tauranga's town centre and made two tree cosies out of those old jumpers. On either cosy there's a little message stitched on round shapes which reads " New Zealand - Keep it beautiful - Love - Aotearoa"<br />
<br />
The outcome you can see if you go to the Elizabeth Street/Grey Street roundabout or just scroll down to the following photos (this might be the save bet in case the tags have disappeared as quickly as the first one):<br />

It sounds a bit wimpy but we just thought that more people will have a chance to see it if the weather is a little better. No.1 was put up on a rainy day and didn't last long, so we would like the next one to be enjoyed by more people on a sunny day.<div>However, if the rain continues for much longer we will just put it up. We can't wait to see it up. It's quite exciting. </div><div>In the mean time we have also been thinking about the next Door Knob Award of Excellence and have a couple of places in mind. However, no decision is made yet. And of course, as before we're open to suggestions.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Now on a different subject we would like to mention last week's earthquake in Christchurch. A lot of charities, groups and individuals are trying to help out which is just awesome. We came across this group of artists and craftsters who work under the name FeltAid. They have set up a shop on felt.co.nz a New Zealand based website where people sell there hand-made goodies. FeltAid is selling donated hand-crafted items. We've put the link on the blog. Have a look, there's some lovely stuff already. And if you feel like donating some of your crafted beauties, go for it.</div><div><br />

We're thinking maybe one a month or so but obviously this depends on the right 'candidates'. So don't be shy in nominating, we like to hear from you! Oh and it doesn't have to be arts related.

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">We are very excited to announce that the first award goes to Steve Chambers and the Laundromat Art Project Space [LAPS] in Tauranga.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">This rare gem among Tauranga's art galleries truly deserves this award. We just love this place.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">It's a gallery where you can go and see contemporary art that is innovative and inspiring but also at times controversial and challenging. However it's not an intimidating kind of gallery where you feel a little out of place if you don't know much about art. Quite the opposite. It's an open and friendly environment where you feel instantly comfortable. Steve makes you feel welcome as soon as you walk in and will happily talk about the artwork on show or have a chat with you about art and ideas and all things exciting.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Also located at the Laundromat Art Project Space is the Arthub providing artists studio space for lease which makes LAPS even more special. Offering so much for the local art community it creates a uniquely creative atmosphere which leaves you excited and inspired every time you visit.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">So there you go, this is why we think The Laundromat Art Project Space on 92 Second Ave deserves this award because it's simply</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />

It'll be quite different to the first one and we're, once again, quite excited. Hopefully the making won't take too long.<br />
<br />
In the meantime however, we've decided to start the Craft Bomber Association's Doorknob Award of Excellence.<br />
There are a lot of interesting, inspiring, amazing, fabulous and simply awesome people in the Bay of Plenty. The Craft Bomber Association will seek and find these individuals or groups and will award them with a specially made doorknob or door handle cosy. We will then post it on the blog with a reason for the award. We are open to suggestions with accompanying explanation why someone should receive this award. We will however maintain the right to decide if the nominee will receive an award or not.<br />
<br />
The first Doorknob Award has been made and will be revealed very soon. So stay tuned in to find out who will find their doorknob covered in a cosy.<br />
<br />
