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.  ...

Gem(s) of the week 2

No matter how often I see these things - it still blows my mind that anyone can move like this.

Random things I wanted to photograph at work

Yes, for those of you who don't know, I teach at a fashion school in Cape Town. The official website is here . The following pictures are VERY random things I see every day - courtesy of the students :)  Thanks to Bronwyn G. Thanks to Courtney C (I think) from the Top Billing project Sanelisiwe S. for her SA Fashion Week entry (Yes, they are school socks) Thanks to Fiina A. beads wrapped in fabric to form bobbles. Thanks to Minky M - not sure what she used to make these stunning flower-shapes Thanks Hannah L - your dress is funky. Thanks Callen P. the stitching on your T-Shirt was too awesome to resist. All the grey numbers hanging on a rail Erica S and me doing a little brain drain fabric manipulation. That's it. Hope some of these inspire you.....
