Py at 8 months, she just looks like a tricolour daxie. At 11 weeks, such a cute little thing.

A small cactus in my garden has been producing these pink chilly shaped seeds. Anyone know what to do with them?

I love Skinny laMinx fabrics, and plan to upholster my own tub chair soon. At the moment its still covered in its original tan vinyl, scary!

Pallet boards are so awesome, I have a couple of outdoor pieces, mostly for garden storage and pot plants. But I would love to have a more refined item like in these pictures! Planning on refurbishing a cupboard I recently received, I'll be sure to include before and afters!

I harvested some of our home grown vegetables on the weekend, its such a good feeling growing your own food! Spinach, lettuce, beans, mint and parsley... I then baked some Breath Buster treats for our two furry kids using the mint and parsley I picked. These bikkies are cost effective and healthier (no preservatives or additives) than store treats. The added bonus is that they absolutely

A friend of mine made these and was kind enough to tell me where the recipe came from! The only thing this recipe doesn't mention is that the 30ml Roberston they refer to is the Robertson's herb pastes that come in tubs at the supermarket. Quite a nice idea and perfect for a quick snack or to take to a function.

My first order of decorative tape has arrived, look at all the beautiful patterns and colours! Going on Etsy soon so go for a shop and hopefully they will be available at the local markets too.

The view from my office after it rained in Durban. Beautiful rainbow, with a second rainbow developing on the right hand side. Stunning!

I visited Ground Cover, a leather work shop in the KZN Midlands over the weekend. They had a huge pile of off cuts outside, which they very kindly give away for free!

I decided that it was time to repot my large Adenium Multiflorum, its been in the same pot for about 3 years now, so its long overdue!  The whole process took about 2 hours, which involved removing the plant, cleaning it off, pruning the roots and repotting - shew! I had pruned the branches a couple of weeks ago as the leaves were covered with mealy bug! So a nice clean start for my biggest

Hydrangea's I spotted in Hillcrest, beautiful! The one was almost in the shape of a heart.

My nephew's first birthday cake, and my first time in a long time using marzipan! This was a joint effort with my sister and brother in law! Turned out really cute :)
