photography, gardening, beading, reading, cooking, links and more
These are some strings of beads that I have made. It’s a fairly new hobby of mine which I enjoy greatly. Especially since I get to wear them too! I love colour coding my accessories and clothes so making my own jewellery is a great way to have just the right colour for the outfit ;)
I was going to just put the beads up for the PhotoHunt but then I realised that the next post I wanted to write was about my knitting which also depicts string quite nicely so I’ll just add it here :p
I discovered yesterday that, oddly enough, most of my traffic comes from my flickr account!
Flickr is a place where you can upload and host your photos, similar to Photobucket and Slide.
I have started up a craft that has been in my family for many years, generations really… Knitting!
My great grandmother first taught me to knit when I was 5 years old. I used to go to her house after pre-school and wait for my parents to pick me up from there after work. I remember rice puddings and smell of the house… it seems like forever ago.
I don’t remember knitting much after that, until school when in third grade they started us on needlework class. I went to school in South Africa in case anybody is wondering. The girls would do needlework and the boys would be marched off to the workshop to do woodwork! Those were the days… I loved that.
Mom and I have been making bead ornaments and decorations for this Christmas. We chose the colors Cream, Green and Maroon for this year’s deco and table setting.
I recently bought a Venus Fly Trap. Decided to call her Venus, very original I know!
I’ve been keeping her in my kitchen at the window where she gets lots of sun and heat from the heater nearby and was thrilled to see she was budding until I read online that VFTs should be kept outside and need to go dormant in winter, the budding should happen in June/July not November!
This was a shot I took of the TV screen after South Africa won the Rugby World Cup in France this year. We are the champions!
I have discovered the joy in food photography! This is a plain and simple Pasta al Pomodoro e Basilico. (Tomato and Basil)
