Today's work!!!

I have been very busy today,
the heat is keeping me indoors and
I have a few things to show.










This is my stitchery of Polka Dot Girls
by Bronwym Hayes, and another block is done.

This is nr 2 of the midget scrappy

Dear Jane blocks.

This is the start of nr 3 of the midget

scrappy Dear Jane quilt blocks.

As you can see the flying geese are

the size of our 10c piece.

My very special quilt in the making

I am a huge fan of Bronwyn Hayes stitcheries and she has many
quilt books on the market.
Here is a new one I am working on for quite a while now
but am makingit all in one color purple and also am changing
the layout of the quilt as I have some fabulous fabric that
I had bought in Kasane in Botswana but it originally
comes from Zambiaand is woven and printed locally.
The locals call them "Chitenge"
and it has all types of uses, like making a carrybag and also a shawl and
of course it is wrapped around their hips so that it shows the ladies are
not available because they are already taken for.

Just one piece of advice for all stitchery lovers please

dont do what I have done and that is start stitching

before you have zigzagged round the square, it looks

all frayed and hate it. Will be doing the rest properly.

Midget Dear Jane blocks

I have just started my Midget
Dear Jane blocks and am hoping to
have lots of fun with these and
hope to complete all of them.
Not sure but so far I have to make
87 of these. And here is the first.
Oh all blocks are 41/2 inches square.

Another bom!

This is the first Bom from a legacy of stitches and

cannot wait for the next one.

My next bom!

This is my 2nd block of Gail Pan Designs.

"The Christmas wish"

Heat and more heat.

We are having a heat wave at the moment and am hoping for the
weather too cool down soon. Have the aircon going but we also
have lots of power failures. So at the moment I am just stitching
small stuff because I have not strength to do any thinking.
But have lots of things running in my mind.
Take care and hugs.

Heat and more heat.

A cute meerkat named Queeny!!!

Here is a very very tame
meerkat that goes by the name of
Queeny and she lives at a
place called Monteiro just outside
of Windhoek.

Here she has come to check out
what is going on at her swimming pool

Just checking to see if Matthew

our grandson is not near as she

does not like kids anymore because

so kids ruffled her a few weeks earlier

so now she does not want kids near.

Just checking out the skies for

foreign creatures that could

be spies.

Well when her work in complete

she sure does need a great rub

from a big caring hand.

Now all is done and a quick nap in

my arms is just the right thing to do.

The next afternoon I was having a short nap

and heard some funny noise next to me,

it was Queeny lying on her back wanting

me to scratch her again a bit.

Well sadly we left the Thursday morning.

Home now and am trying to get back to normal

if I can find out what is normal. heheheheh

Windhoek MOB

I had the pleasure of meeting a few

bloggers at 24.com living in Windhoek. They are such fun

to be with and we chatted for ages.

Meeting!!!

I attended the Potpouri group meeting at the Afrokaan

today to see what they have been working on as I have

not been there for some time. They are working on a

banner for the group.

We chatted for a while and then had some lovely choc cake,

which was so nice and

tasty and a hot cuppa coffee. Real coffee.

I also bought a lovely spinach quiche for lunch

and a piece of juicy biltong for hubby.

Cant just buy fabric for me have to spoil him,

er, or is it just to stop feeling guilty for

spending money on myself!!!!! hehehe

The biltong was well received and

when tasted the comment went like this

" nice piece of fat, not too dry and tasty too". He enjoyed it very much.

Be sure to visit this lovely shop in Graafwater next time you are on the

West Coast, even if it is just to buy some of that biltong.
