I Pimped My Pitbull

I have some talents but SEWING is not one of them
I have some virtues but PATIENCE is not one of them (which probably explains why I am no good at sewing)
However, with the cost of a doggie jacket at Pick n Pay being R137  I decided to make them myself.
My Pitbull (male) and GreyhoundX (female)sleep in the laundry at night and its rather cold in there, so I wanted to make the jackets for them to wear at night for a bit of  extra warmth.
And of course Her Majesty (Maltese-female) had to have one too. So here are the pics of  them in their new jackets - (not the best seamstressing but they work) :

Wishing you a warm and cosy week.
much love

Fibre Arts n Crafts Fair.....

On Saturday 13th April my friend, Linell, and I set off on our "annual" outing to a tiny little town/village called Wakkerstroom. It is a two hour drive from where we live.  The Natural Fibres Fair is held in a small church hall in the middle of town.  It's packed with sellers of natural fibres, natural and handspun yarns, wools, embroidery, sewing, weaving, crochet, knitting and so much more.  A feast of colour and texture.  So much inspiration - it makes your head spin.

 After the Fair we went meandering around the village looking at all their quaint little shops and stopped for lunch in one of  the eateries.

What  a lovely day !!!!

This is what I brought home......

What I would have liked to have brought home too......

PLUS  tons more YARN of course.... :o)
