Tuesday…
Thank you so much for everyones beautiful comments that have been left since yesterday for the giveaway, I cherish them 🙂 You are all so kind! Today we had the most tremendous electrical storm, lightning and thunder and then we looked under the sideboard table and Charlie and Sandy were fast asleep… so precious, I just love the paw over Charlie’s face…
Here is a shelf update, the Oregon shelves have been sanded and oiled and are looking quite superb, thanks to my wonderful husband. I love old furniture, it is so solid and full of character and history, I always wonder where it used to live and what the people were like who owned it before it made its journey to us… We are going to take them into my studio tonight and attach them to the walls, at last I have somewhere to pack my books…(she says with glee…)
I have just listed some new items in my shop, floral fat quarters of South African quilting fabric and undyed South African Merino roving, (so soft) …
If you missed entering the giveaway yesterday you still have time to enter here, I will be choosing a winner tomorrow, the yarn below is the giveaway item, the softest Camel Silk 🙂
Do all have a lovely day, I am off to put up shelves:)
Portrait Saturday
I swear… the draw was maby open for two seconds, tops, before Charlie jumped in and proceeded to make himself comfortable! The opportunist, right on top of my clean, neatly folded dish towels. We can’t really blame him though, you see, below him was the labrador puppy, who Charlie is not too fond of as Sally is way too playful these days. So this is a really good vantage point for one resourceful cat…
Happy Saturday to you…

WIP Wednesday and Charlie…
Dear Friends,
Today has been a lovely day, we all went shopping for some winter clothes this morning and I have been working on a sweater vest for Kye. I am knitting it in a baby blue merino single ply handspun, spun by community spinners in Cape Town and I am really loving the colour varigation. I have decided to knit this vest in the round, all at once, and the when I reach the armhole I will make the decreases in the front and put the back stitches on a stitch holder and go from there. This is my first attempt at this so wish me luck!
An now for the sleeping positions of Charlie…
This sweety belongs to Erin, he is one year old, huge and always manages to find comfort wherever he might be…
