Preparing for lockdown in Motueka NZ March 2020

I made this video 2 days before full lockdown to Level 4.

It's now almost 6 weeks later.

A lot has happened in the past 6 weeks. 

This is what I have experienced:

I have been able to help several families with their grocery shopping. I've been baking and cooking lots of new meals as several months ago I gave up eating meat, wheat, dairy and junk food. My new lifestyle is going really well and my health problems have subsided. (Winning)

Aided with "Female" tea created by Heke Homemade Herbals

Huge amount of creative energy, so I've created lots of new "Functional Art" pieces.

I got the glory box lid upholstered beautifully.

Before and after pictures of the: Pink Glory Box 

End results are absolutely stunning pieces of functional art. 

The linen I showed in the photo I used to make a pretty cool Footstool / Seat

Since joining the Chooice page a few weeks ago on April 21st 2020

I've been overwhelmed with the support from New Zealanders wanting to

Buy NZ Made.  I've gone from 20 visits a day to 1700 on the first day.

An extra 1000 followers on my Facebook Page Vickies Originals Nelson

I've been in the news on TVNZ

I've created a few tutorials on YouTube  1st Tutorial & 2nd Tutorial

 I have been getting lessons from Shopify on how to improve my SEO

So this is my first blog.

Kiwiana inspired "New Zealand Made Cushion Covers" and Shoulder bags is what I'm all about. I LOVE creating functional art by up cycling retro furniture into one of designs.
