Oh my word winter caught us off-guard here in Gauteng!  Overnight we went from Autumn to Cape Town winter – cold and wet!


Lazy lazy weather!  Perfect couch weather.  And that is just what I did this past weekend!


Normally Saturday’s are reserved for PPSV (Platteland Pawn Shop Visits) but Saturday we took some time off and just did one quick visit (See ball and claw showcase).  Back at home by 14:00 armed with big bucket of popcorn and five DVD’s (yes being the perfect...

About Me


ietsies 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.
