CANSA is an association close to my family’s heart, we try to support them whenever we can, it really is a wonderful and much needed service they deliver. My Mother serves on the fundraising committee in Potchefstroom (Northwest Province), and although she is a very busy woman with two successful businesses she finds the time. She really is an inspiration to me! In an endeavour to also do a bit more I agreed to crochet pink hearts as part of the table centerpiece for aforementioned committ... Continue reading ...
Yeah! And another gift arrived yesterday! Thank you Y! She grew, yes grew this especially for me! Whilst handing it over she explained how to's and very seriously said that she knows that I do not have green fingers, so I must please call her if I need assistance. Think I might just take her up on that offer, as yes sadly I do not have green fingers. How beautiful is this? Fits my kitchen window as if it was designed for it!  Continue reading ...
I recently celebrated a milestone B-day, I was blessed enough to celebrate it on another continent which meant that I got to stretch the festivities and came home to more celebrations. How lucky can one girl be, I know! So when I arrived home, three days later than planned (remember I told you about my lill extended visit to the Madrid airport), I walked into a surprise party at home. How cool to be greeted by my offspring in party hats, melting chocolate cake, Toy Story serviettes and plate... Continue reading ...

Two weeks in Spain has come and gone, and apart from a real dramatic end to the holiday (more about that later), it was absolutely stunning. I managed to totally unwind, not think about work and yes can you believe it, not touch yarn for the first 10 days. There after the withdrawal symptoms got the better of me and I more than made up for lost time. The dramatic ending? We missed our flight back from Madrid and spent 3 days on the Barajas airport in Madrid, trying to catch a flight back to... Continue reading ...

About Me
Just love being creative, be it writing, tinkering in the studio, cooking or playing fairy-godmother to old run-down stuff.
I firmly believe that upcycling is the way of the future, there are already too many "things" on earth so rather repurpose something old and give it a beautiful creative new lease of life. It it's broken ... upcycle it!
Stick it to the mass manufacturers and support handmade product.
