Okay just thought of doing a wee photo blog today nothing hectic.

So here goes:



A awesome handmade Christmas gift I got from V&B must still post the pic of the journal I got with the cookies (boasting a beautiful pewter cover).  I gave them each a pewter class as a gift, so I guess it is the gift that keeps on giving.  Loved the personal thoughts and attention that went into it!

And this is what I did with it:



Sent the cookies to school with M for her B-day.



Every year we do a "veldfliek" (movies...

In an effort to keep my kids occupied last weekend (rain, rain and little more rain) I pulled out my Pewter set and showed them how to do this cool craft.

I tried starting a project myself but soon gave up as I realized that I cannot craft and be teacher at the same time.  Pity as I have b...

Oh how do I count my blessings today.

I am just so so so happy (yes it called for 3 so’s).  You know that hop skip and a jump happy feeling.  If this was a Bollywood movie everybody around me would burst into spontaneous song and dance, and I would be the ultra sexy one in the middle with tall dark and mysterious next to me.

There is so much to show and tell this Monday, it seems that the busier I am at work during the week the more I can do over a weekend! That age-old saying must be true, if you want something done – give it to a busy person.

Not sure what I will end-up using it for, but while it keeps me calm and smiling I will carry on with this meaningless little project.
