Leg 3 of an epic journey

So, as I said the day we left Knysna was rainy, rainy, rainy, rainy - all the way, up the coast to Port Elizabeth, and even further inland, right up to Addo. The weather report that evening showed ALL of SA covered with cloud, except Cape Town, which we had left behind (and we thought we were fleeing the rain....)

We did a quick stop along the way at the world's highest bungy-jump, but no-one dared jump in the wet weather, although the company was rearing to go.
 We then continued to PE (port Elizabeth), where we had lunch / dinner and you can see how overcast the day was. The wind was blowing us off our feet and now I know why it's called the windy city. I thought Cape Town was bad....
We then got semi-lost because the road was not indicated clearly and logically, but with a slight detour we reached Addo, and found a lovely spot at the Homestead B&B. We were tired of the rain by then and literally just fell into bed.

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

A good few years ago, my friend H went to visit her family in the states and her mom was generous enough to part with some of her stash. I blogged about the start of the quilt a while back (In february last year - go figure) and then the top wound up in the cupboard, since I was so busy sewing for other people Well, this year marked a new season, and I finally have finished it :) Doing the happy dance right now Thank you H and M. If you want to follow M's own blog and look at the amazing stuff SHE does, just click on through to " In the desert ". Thank you for your stash and look what I've done with it....
