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...

With the preparations for Kenya and all the sewing, I hardly have time to think, let alone write. I have a few things that I still want to write about, but they need to stew a little , so watch this space... Many of you ask how my plans for Kenya are coming on, and all I can say is: "I think fine." The team still needs to raise about R140 000 (yes, the amount of zeros are correct). All donations welcome :) I would also value your prayers, as I don't quite know what to expect. So I can't really say whether things are going well or not. Sewing-wise : I have taken on a little more than I can comfortably handle, so will again be shining in my absence from this blog. Late nights coming up, but we have been given an extra day off on Friday, since one of the family members of the owners of the Academy is getting married. What a pleasure - not only being invited to the wedding, but having an extra day off as well. The lessons will need to be made up, and the hours will need ...
