I have come across a few blogs that are simply amazing in the past few weeks. Here they are This one is such a great idea. I wish I lived in their village. This one has great ideas for all the decor fans out there. And this one just is pretty to look at. I hope you enjoy.

thanks Bronwyn for posting this

Yep, reminds me of growing up as well ;)

The Holidays are over

*sigh* Yes, indeed they are and I was quite busy. I: sewed a dress for my friend Mel, finally sewed my curtains, sewed a dress for Hood no 3 , went to the Se7en for dinner as payment - YUMMY PIZZA! - almost finished a jacket for myself with fabric that has been lying in my cupboard for 10 years (yes, yes, I'm a hoarder). Finished knitting a jersey and then used the rest of the wool to start a baby blanket. I: baked three recipes of German Christmas cookies and a batch of bread I: read 12 books I: met with friends and just slept late. Not much time to veg, but at least I did not have to worry about getting up early, dressed and ready for work by a certain time. With all the busyness I did not get time to write the many blog entries for God's Fashion House , but they will happen soon, I promise.

Holidays

I'm going to be on holidays for two weeks. I am so looking forward to it. Many things are planned and hopefully some of that to-do-list will get ticked, but all I really want to do is lie in bed, read a few good (!) books, watch a few movies and sew. Yes, some friends will not get neglected in the process either, but all in good time. Don't call me, I'll call you :) Nope, just kidding, but please do not feel all upset if I decline an invitation. I have neglected me, myself and Irene a little too much these past few months. In the process I may just blog a few more things on God's Fashion House for which I will ave some time. The research is done for a while now already and just waiting to hit cyberspace. Enjoy the read and tell me what you think.

Thank you Jeanine for the tips and tricks forthe Pumpkin Fritters. I have tested the recipe, but went with a slightly different variation, more eggs and more flour, but they were delicious!!! Ask R and H (or Howl and Ranna). Here is a picture of them. I will be making a second batch soon, since the first batter turned out a little wet and I still have quite a big of pumpkin left.

Yes, I read the book yesterday. Man that man can write. Those of you who plan to read it - watch out for the twist at the end, or is that a triple twist? It took me 5 hours - yes, that is my normal speed. I think I will read slower if it is a comic, because that is more to look at. I will gladly led it to those of you who plan to read it (that is of course if you are in Cape Town and I can get the book back within a week :) )
