Angie

The wedding dress I sewed for my friend Angie.

(an apology to all my readers - she only had pictures with the photographer's watermark at the time I went to visit.)

I'm still here

Goodness gracious.... almost a year already The year has flown past, hasn't it? I'm still thinking I did that road trip the other day. So, not much has happened in my life, but I had a rare opportunity to visit the fashion collection archive at the Social History Centre in Cape Town. Apart form the fact that it is housed in a beautiful building The oldest clothes are from the 1700s and we had the rare privilege to see one up close and personal, including some undergarments and shoes. the corsetry is from the early 1900's, since the corset of the pink dress was worked into the actual garment and not a separate piece. so, without further ado:

The Wedding Planner

To all who supported me in planning Raoul's and Hannah's wedding a BIG thank you. I couldn't have done it without you guys. To be honest, I brought it on myself, when I asked all of you to pitch in, but I did not anticipate all the extra sewing way back in April. Also, come to think of it, I now know where to hire table cloths for much less than the usual price, where to have flowers done (thank you Lehane and mom), what the buttonhole pins cost (to pin the flowers to lapels) and that simple is often more effective than a big hoohaa. Thanks also to all the Wartons who wave pitched in with cleaning up without asking or having to be asked. You guys are the best! Oh, yes, the correct boning arrived two weeks after the last post, and I could use it in Hannah's dress after all. I don't know how much she could breathe, but she survived the day and now can relax on her honeymoon - breathe in all the air she can. She looked absolutely gorgeous - thanks to Enno and her magic...

Morning madness

Yesterday it was the traffic and a power cut that a whole day to fix - someone dug up a power cable and the Office block managers promised one hour, then made it 2:30 and by 3:30 nothing had happened. Even before the traffic and all the rest of it, our cat Josie was in a fight with another cat and all the fluff covered the lounge carpet. This morning I was woken by 4 very friendly mosquito's and I think in the process of me jumping on my bed trying to kill them, I woke up my house mate, Inger. So, since "mozzie glue" does not do the trick in keeping them away from me, more drastic actions are needed. I even have a bite on my lip! BUT through all these mad things, I'm reminded that I'm not in control of my life and that The One who is, will keep me from worse things. Jesus IS my husband first and foremost and that is the important thing.
