China Mart

China Mart is the new "buzz-word" in Gauteng. During the past 6 months I've heard China Mart mentioned by several people. I heard it was situated somewhere in Johannesburg but no-one cared to share the directions. As I was living in Pretoria at the time and didn't get to Jhb much I soon forgot about this cool place everyone was talking about. Until one day my Aunt, Charmaine, asked if I would like to go with her to China Mart. She had to get specific goods from there and thought that I would enjoy going along. So we made a date and by 25June we were a group of six from Pta on our way to China Mart.

I found this pretty Owl ring and it only cost me R20....

These yummy strawberries have two types of strawberry lip gloss inside...mmmmm. the lady I bought them from was talking to her cat the whole time I was in her shop. The cat sat on the counter and bowed his head towards me for head scratch. On the other side of the counter was an aquarium filled with fish. What a cute experience. The delicious ribbons were from a less friendly shop, but they're still pretty. After our shopping, we went to the "food court". We sat down at the first restaurant that we past(yip, we were starving), and had a traditional Chinese lunch. Chicken chopsuey with sweet&sour sauce and a fortune cookie to end the day with.....good eat'n!   

New Look:-)

This look is a lot more comfy than the previous one. I quite like the calm feeling I got when I changed into this one. I think, though, I would like to design my own background(if time allows). Who knows, maybe I'll still get to it this weekend...

It's been a while

Hi There
I have been having a lot of internet problems in the past month or two but hopefully all that is sorted out now. I've been to some interesting places and seen some pretty thing during the time which has past. I will thus try to put "quick-update" blog posts on to catch up to August.
I'm still not feeling that my blog fits me quite as comfortably as it should, I'll have to try on a few more  skins to get that perfect fit. So please bare with me through this stage of self-exploring till I find the OddOneOut that suits me.

It's Here! It's Arrived!

At last! Yesterday afternoon I found a postal receipt in the mailbox! It was too late to go to the post office, so I had to wait until TODAY to pick up my package... It’s arrived! My Bundle #1 all the way from Remade in Melbourne, Australia! Thank you, Hayley! It’s even prettier in real life. I can’t wait to make something with my fabrics, although I’m not too skilled with a sewing machine. The Blue one is definitely becoming a dress. The dainty pink floral one, I thought would make a cute soft toy for my first niece(who is still on the way). And the even daintier colourful floral one will make a pretty lining for a crochet bag. I’m quite the Happy-Chappy right now! This package has made my year!

Internet obstruction

Wow! I cannot believe it! This is the first time in over a month that I could actually get connected! Get this, we have two large trees in the yard which are all of a sudden blocking our internet signal. I have tried and failed time and again to publish new posts on my blog... So much has happened in this last month. I shall try my best to publish a brief summary with photo's a.s.a.p. I've been quite busy creating, crocheting, designing and I finished my design portfolio. We also went to Mauritius for a wedding photo shoot, but I'll put all that in the "Month of May" summary. We have now stepped into our Winter here in South Africa and apparently it's going to be a cold one! So, until my next post, have an awesome week!
