Picture dump from the last few months.

Firstly, a little take-off of the last Dacota at Ysterplaat airfield. The last one just got a beautiful paint job and then crashed in the Drakensberg. Tragic, tragic accident.
I do love the view from my flat :)

I also did a bit of sewing (something non-white for a change)



OK, technically this last one is cream, but it does not look like it in the picture.

I also had a make-over

 And just to prove what a difference that made, here is a picture of half-on half-off :)
 I also had some adventures and met with friends, went to a wedding,







Went to an old-fashioned drive in

and started knitting on a table cloth, which, if you follow me on Instagram or facebook, was unpicked quite a bit last night due to a dropped stitch that was decreased a few times and thus unravelled down, down, down. I saved it, finally, but had to undo about a week's worth of work.
 I am quite a bit further than in this picture, though.
 I did finish this guy and these flowers - embroidery.
 And a piece of this sweet thing at Easter. Yum!


I also celebrated my birthday last week, but had such a good time that I did not take pictures. I did, however, have the BEST cake in town. Have a taste of their amazing chocolate cake, but I had ordered the Italian Ricotta. Oh, my word! It was so good that I sent them an email, and this was the reply:

Gems I found this week

Taken from leadershipmoment.org: Transcript from the 28th of September 2012 "Achievement follows preparation. Talent just wants to jump into the action. Preparation positions talent to be highly effective. Talent and Preparation often leads to success. On the other hand, talent minus preparation often leads to disaster. Talent will often provide you with an opportunity for success but preparation is essential to achieve success. A famous General in WWII put it this way: The more you prepare in peace the less you bleed in war." Number two is from the book Shantaram by Gregory David Rogers : After living in the slum he witnessed a case of punishment on a few of the community members by the community, under the strict observation by the leader in that community. After the punishment had taken palce the leader said these words: "In this way is justice done, [....] because justice is a judgement that is both fair and forgiving. Justice is not done until everyone is satisfied...

Turns out I have a bucket list....

Never thought I did, but I do. A while back I posted about what I would do if I didn't have to work any longer , which almost is the same thing. So, on the list, I suppose in the number 1 position for a long, long time already is a flight in a fighter plane, complete with dog-fight manouvers :) Unfortunately most military planes do not have space for a passenger, apart form the fact that I am a civilian. But a girl can dream, right?  BUT an aerobatics flight will no nicely too. *sigh* I wish Number 2: a TobyMac concert LIVE (i.e. not on DVD :) ) Because.... I mean, jsut look at this Number 3: Buy a flat Number 4: Spend a year on sabbatical at a tailor on saville Row Number 5: Help with the costume patternmaking and sewing on a Marvel movie. Here is why: Detail, people, detail: the collar is attached to the back, wrapping around to the front opening, with the shoulder piece coming from the front... Also, just google the WInter Soldier and try to look at clos...
