I made a shawl for Rachel’s birthday which I realize by some huge over sight I have not yet blogged about! ( Note to self: Blog about Rachel’s Party) This was the first shawl that I have made and was rather chuffed how it came out. It is the Sunny Days Shawlette from Nurturing Fibres
I then made one for my Mom’s 60th Birthday. Both Shawls...

My little sister is going through a tough time at the moment and I so wanted to give her a hug and take her to coffee and do the things that big sisters do, but with her being in London and me being in Cape Town I felt a bit helpless.
Then I suddenly thought, if I can’t deliver coffee to her maybe I could tweet and ask if someone on twitter would be...

I love pudding!
Are you like me and get to the end of a meal at a great restaurant and feel really sad if you don’t have room for pudding? I know there is a separate pudding stomach but sometimes one can not give the pudding the due attention it deserves as the full food stomach is limiting the experience.
To honor all things sweet and the fact that...

Ever since I saw this picture on Pinterest I have coveted rainbow hair
The problem is that it will be hard to get these bright colours over pink. I decided that I would do this for my wedding hair (not that The Geek has asked yet, but all in good time). Seems like a good idea to plan it for a big event, as it would be impossible to maintain for long....

We went to the exclusive book wharehouse sale last weekend. I received an email about it but was not sure I wanted to be up at the crack of dawn to be there by 7am; Titus decided that we would be awake by 5:30am so there was plenty of time to get everyone ready. We did not get there as early as we should have and waited in rather a long queue, with 3 bored...

I was in the bathroom getting dressed after a shower when I heard R.E.M “Everybody Hurts” playing from the dinning room.
I was immediately transported back to my res room in university. I remembered listening to this song, broken hearted over unrequited love. You only learn through these painful experiences, the lessons life has to teach. At the...

It was a friends son’s birthday and he requested birds. So I made these 2 little guys. Rachel made the nests
This one comes from this free pattern I found on Ravelry. I changed the beak though. He sits very round on their pictures but I found the knitted shape hard to make into the picture and actually enjoyed knitting the other pattern better. This...

I have always wanted chickens but just did not think we would be having them so soon. It was the church Bazaar in Philadelphia where Carle lives on the 2nd September. She knew that I wanted chickens at some point and so she ordered me some when she pre-ordered for her boys. And so our adventure with chickens began on 2 Septemeber at the Philadelphia Kerk...

The thing about pink hair is that it makes you recognisable. There are not that many of us with pink hair so people remember you. I was in the wool shop on Thursday and a lady caught my eye and said “Hi, how are you?” So I was polite back but it was clear I did not know who she was. It turned out she was from Yme’s dad side of the family...
