Leg 9 of an epic journey

The journey continued the next morning. We drove via Bethlehem (yes, Christmas in Bethlehem), past Sasolburg and on to Johannesburg.



The trip took a while, so we relaxed at my brother's place, and that was the end of the leg. We stayed for a few days in Joh'burg and this is what we got up to:

24th - Gold-Reef City. I've never seen this place so empty. We could even go on all the rides - get whiplash as well, but having lots and lots of fun







Then, of course, Germans are weird and celebrate Christmas eve, rather than Christmas, so later that day we went to church and celebrated with the in-laws of brother dearest.
Happy Christmas
25th December we went to the Rhino and Lion park, where I did not take any pictures, but K did. It was pretty much like a zoo, except the cages were bigger. We also swam, swam, swam, because the wheather was good and sunny (for a change).

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....
