More of our day in the veld.


Here our dog Zazu is looking for a
small stone we had thrown in the water
and below is the stone she decided
was big enough for us to see














This is what my hair looks like after a

recent hair cut.









Lovely day in the veld.

Took the dogs for a swim in a local
dam called "Koos Louw Dam". they sure had fun and
Bella just loves all the swimming.















These I found on the roadside and
they look white but when closed they
are a lilac color


Here it is even closer but I have no clue
what its local name is. Will have to find
out from one of the older generation that
knows the name.






These are chinkerinchee's (star of Bethlehem)
is growing in the garden and all over in the veld
where there is still some small bits of water around.
These are the last of the flower season and now it
is going to be hot and dry.

Top is now completed!!!


This is now the completed
wallhanging top. Hoping
to have it all quilted soon.
Will be hanging by my
sewingmachine as I am looking
into a white wall and that is
so uninspiring.

Christmas Wishes


This is what my bom
from the Christmas wishes
by Gail Pan Designs looks like
with a few extra ones.
I used a lovely stitchery design,
actually the same one on my previous
post of the poinsettias and just
embroidered it. The colors were
just right for the centre.

Some more just things.

We have just recently got new
neighbours and they have
3 dogs and this is Tonic our cat's
way of protecting herself from them,
goodness know why she is on
the fridge but it seems to be the
highest place in our house.
The dogs cannot get to her as
we have fences up but typical
cat thinking of taking care of
herself.































This is picture of a block for
Christmas at our local forum
at www.in2stitches.co.za





























Sorry this is not the right way up
but this in another member of
our Chicks sewing group's
stained glass block.
