Handmade Christmas Tree Decorations

Trish Seddon from Te Awamutu Museum

Handmade Christmas tree decorations can evoke memories of the special people who may have handcrafted them, even when they are no longer around.
We will use fabric scraps, recycled calendars and cards, buttons, as well as adding glittery sequins and beads for that extra bling.
Here’s an alternative opportunity to create a gift that will be treasured and yes year after year.

Aside from the fun you will have in making these decorations you are doing the world a power of goodness.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? πŸ’°πŸŒ²

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
