Sooo interesting

Today was the start of the Cederberg Feastival and
this is what got my attention. Mr Egg man.
All those eggs were empty because I was standing
next to him when he emptied them into a bowl.
I just love his slippers or was it tackies?
He has a great laugh and got most sour
person to laugh with him. I wish you could
see this outfit, it just to die for. Fashion designers
eat your heart out, none of you will ever get
to make anything so special from lots of
waste as this guy did.

Looking back at all my posts is just great as I have really enjoyed the journey
so far. Also did lots of stitching over these 3 years. Wow, where has time gone.
Well Happy Blogging Birthday to me.
I have also made some great friends through the internet and want to say
Thank You for the wonderful friendships that have grown over the years.
Gee I have even improved how to use this computer. hahahaha

Breast of Friends bom


I have completed another block for my
Breast of Friends" Quilt and will do all
the borders when I have done the centres of
the blocks to combine them all together.

This was done by D and she
used the Africa theme to make
a toaster cover. Great.

Diana from our sewing group

of the next house block. When they
are all complete then I have lots of
embroidery to do.

threads hanging around and
