Grass Stiching
None of my on-going projects are in the position of being worthy of a visual record yet - so time for some eye candy... I found this via Mike McDowell's pinterest site and just couldn't resist :)
Featured on pavingexpert.com here (just scroll down). Imagine the possibilities!
P.S. I'm sorry it's such a small pic but I could not find better

A Blogger In Need, Is a Blogger In Deed
First some background to this post:
As you may or may not know I’ve been doing the “Blogging your way” course through Holly Becker from décor8 because I felt that I needed a
new way of looking at my blog. I’ve loved every minute. I’ve been invigorated,
inspired and the learning curve has been huge. This post is a step to putting
that learning into practice and the bounce back into my blogging.
Have you ever felt stuck in a blog rut? Well, that’s me
now…maybe you can help me out :)
So I thought I’d
learn some more about you and about me, from you. If you have a moment I’d
appreciate it hugely if you would give me some constructive feedback on my blog.

However if you prefer to peruse my neck of the woods a little and then leave me a note (via comment or e-mail) I’ve designed a little feedback questionnaire below. (Each question has a link to a somewhat relevant post so you get a bit of an introduction if you haven't visited before.)

Enough about me! Let me know a little about you.
And that's it! If you've gotten this far here's a big blogger hug from me xxx

Market of Loveliness
I can't believe it's been more than a week since I last posted about the 'Market of Loveliness'! But here it finally is.
My first retail experience was really a very pleasant one in the small personal space of 'I Love My Laundry'. After a rather chaotic start (I had no idea what to price my various items at) we all settled down to some dim sum and a wine tasting hosted by the 'Land of Hope' label. Great wine with a great ethic behind it - not to mention a rather nice looking label :). Clayton shared some of the 'I love my... ' brand vision and Carmen introduced the Sweet&Soutie concept to everyone.
Then all that was left to do was shop!

Life On The Shelf!
And so the big day arrives for me...
I have never had the guts to sell my stuff, or even display it, so I have quite a build up,
and now it's up for grabs - officially priced and on the shelf, and table and anywhere else it could fit,
at the coolest 'destination laundry' in Africa (in fact the only of it's kind in Africa)...come and get it!
A full report back on the launch evening of Sweet&Soutie's Market of Loveliness will follow shortly.
