My Belly Dancer


Another ufo completed,
this belly dancer teddy was started
about 2 years ago and never got completed
well now she is nearly finished. I dont have
the glass eyes yet but when I get to a big
city will get them and also some earings.
She is pretty cute. Hmmmm
I would love to learn to do belly dancing but
no one here knows anything about it.

This is the new tar road to
Pakhuis Pass that is nearly completed.
We can now drive smoothly as it was an
awful gravel road. Had a lovely cloudy
day today so far.







Just a bit further and just look at those
rock formations. It is so different everytime
we take a trip which is often. Well now with
the tar road the poor plants on the side of the road
will not suffocate anymore and stay green.




Me in front of a rock just to show that
I was also there.




Hubby sitting with Bella under a rock
that looks like, I think it looks like a flower, what do you think
it looks like????





This plant is so interesting, when it gets top heavy it
falls over and continues to grow.

Cellphone bag!!

This is a cellphone bag that I had to make
for someone as a birthday gift and it is something
that I will never use.
It was a challenge as I have never done
any crazypatchwork by machine yet.
So I have overcome another hurdle yesterday.

Drum Roll please

This first now completed quilt
is one that I started with
the International Friendship Quilters,
named Home Sweet Home, I have named it
My Africa home













The words on it says
" Home the spot of earth supremely
blessed a sweeter spot than all the
rest"



















This is my wallhanging "Verandah View"
I have now completed. It was designed
by willowberrydesigns and was a bom
that I followed. The saying is
"as you stroll a long your path pause
a moment to enjoy the view..."

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)
