Something new

So I decided to try something different with my iced sugar cookies – to paint them!  I have seen it around and thought I would give it a try.  We have our art class end of year party this weekend – our theme was Berthe Morisot. I did not enjoy it and they did not [...]

Summer – bring it on!

I went for my first sea swim this season – and only my second since Little OL was born. It was a HOT day in PE so I organized my mom to come and babysit and I went down to the beach.  All I can say is AMAZING!  I loved it, it was great being [...]

I have NO words!!!

Oh my WORD!!!! My addiction just got a million times worse.  Take a look at this site….. And I was not even Googling cookies, I was looking for ideas for Baby OL’s first birthday. It’s a sign I tell you……. I think I need to bow down to this woman, these are works of art. [...]

7 Things…

7 things…..  Phew, I am not sure what there is that you don’t already know about me. Like Hayley who gave me this award (Thank you) I love South Africa.  I have lived in 6 different countries and visited quite a few more and still think this one is best!  I am not oblivious to [...]

If you have nothing nice to say….

rather say nothing at all – or did you mom not teach you that???? You know there are just some people that you like right away and then there are the others…. The ones that you know, you will NEVER like.  I encountered one on Sunday!  And she was standing in my house.   Her boyfriend [...]

More nursery pictures.

Here are a couple more pictures from the nursery.   It is nearly done!  The only thing left is the bedding, which I have still yet to sew.  I am not in a rush as I will be using blankets for the first little while anyway.  Here are some pictures of the paintings I did.  I [...]

Art classes!! Woo hoo.

My art classes start again today and I am very excited.  I think I am being rather optimistic taking in a painting I want to finish as I doubt we will actually pick up a paint brush.  The last class we had was in August so there will be lots of catching up to do [...]

The bump and nursery

Here are some long promised photos. Firstly the bump (pre haircut). From the side… Yes, my cats are looking at me as if I have lost my mind. And from the front…. And finally – a picture of our nearly completed nursery.  I still need to get the bedding for the cot and put up [...]

One painting bought and another sold! And a whole lot of stuff in between

  I had the most fantastic weekend!  Saturday was a busy day for me. In the morning I ran a 10 km race and who would have known, training actually does work!  Well kind of – I still did not beat my mom (damn that 63 year old can run) but I did beat my [...]

Joyce

Yesterday I went and gave Joyce the picture I drew of her.  I thought she would be quite happy, but never expected the reaction I got.  She was ecstatic and I got the hugest hug.  It was great and I am really glad I gave it too her.   She then told me that her [...]
