Heritage Day market

It’s been quite a while since I did a market. This was taken at the first of the annual markets that the Oranjezicht and Higgovale Neighbourhood Watch held at de Waal Park, in celebration of Heritage Day (you know the date!) with Sheryl Ozinsky doing the organising – so it couldn’t have been anything but a success. My least favourite bit is always setting out the table – you can see how grumpy it made me that day :-)

The market they held last year was even better – I won a one-hour Thai massage at en masse in the raffle.

Angels fly…because they take themselves lightly

Before I had a cell phone, this would have been my version of a text message.

I don’t think I have the patience to stitch a whole needlepoint cushion cover any more, I’m more into crafts that give me a quicker return on my creative investment and what little energy I have left over after a day in the office.  But if I did, and if I still had canvas and tapestry wool packed away somewhere, and if the mood took me, I would make a cushion for Alex that says “Love many, trust few. Learn to row your own canoe.” I can’t remember who wrote that but it has stuck with me ever since I came across it in a design book by Candace Bahouth.

In the wings

While four crazy women laboured and sweated and bustled around for the first photo shoot for their new creative venture, the jewellery and accessories model rested up on the couch with a magazine.  No stress there.

Aside: note the crocheted throw and the stripey blanket, both made by Anne. Aren’t they stunning? Don’t you wish you could have your very own hand-made blanket? Like no-one else in the world has? Well… watch this space.
