Happiness is...
I am such a corny sucker!!
I just looove musicals from Grease to Mamma Mia – just love it, so last night’s episode of Grey’s was right up my alley and the final song, sang by Callie – Brandi Carlile’s The Story one of my all time favourites!

My mother has a way of roping me in and making me do things (and enjoy it) without me realizing, and only halfway through the project I stop and go “What the heck?”.
She again used her magic on me during the Easter break this year, and without me realizing we revamped one of her hair salons – what the heck!
Still not done but here are a few progress pics and some of the befores. The befores were taken in 2005.

Kniting
I realy hope not....
I’ve wanted to do this for some time now.
Not sure why?
Maybe it is the die-hard frustrated crafster in me, or maybe
it is my passionate lust for yarn or maybe it is just me missing my ouma (grandmother).But this past weekend I bought myself a
knitting machine.
Terribly un-cool I know, and oh so not trendy but you know
what stuff that.I think it
terribly cool and I know with this I will still create something oh so trendy.
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.
