I found these photos the other day on my camera. Knitted doily I made for my mommy. I knitted three or four while I was there, but only took a picture of one - please don't ask me why...

The year started off with a bang of busyness. At work I had to go back almost a year to a submission for a new programme we developed, losing three weeks of preparation. During that time I also got a job to make and grade a matric jacket. (the photos below are poor quality because they are not taken by me :) ) Also, the sewing wasn't doen by me either, so some quality issues in my mind.... I then proceded to sew a wardrobe for my friend TJ who is heading onto the mission field. Int eh process I could test my new machine (well, "new" because I have not really used it since I bought it in April last year) So, here is what I did: And I experimented with dying. Yes, these things all went in at the same time into the same die lot and this is what I got (the second shirt from the right was light blue and the dress on the far left was white). This jsut goes to show that there are no guarantees when the shop tells you "It's 100% cotton" hahaha

My cousin K, used to say on our Road TRIP : I wish we could bottle sunshine and send it overseas. Well, here is your answer :) (not a bottle, but a Jar - GENIUS!!) You can currently get them at the Design Indaba , or otherwise at their shop in Stellenbosch. I got myself some sunshine love :)
