Firstly, so sorry about the big gaps between posts. Turns out that the older a baby gets, the less time you have to do what you intend to do each day ;)
Ok, so I have to show you the gorgeous products that two of the yoga teachers at my yoga studio are making. Their names [...]

There’s a project which is based near to Knysna, in a town known as Wilderness. It’s called Lila, and they make the most BEAUTIFUL things with a wonderfully eclectic feel. Everything has been sewn together using lots of tiny bits of mis-matching fabrics, felt, cotton, etc. You can see that the owner and designer, Manya, [...]

Just a quick one to wish you a wonderful weekend! And to show you this amazing pile of cushions that Skinny has added to her shop.

The one thing that bothers me about the World Cup, is how much money other countries (ie. China) are making off the fan merchandise that’s being sold. My Mom sent me the link to this article about a Dutch start-up which has had supporter products made, but have made sure that it’s South Africa who [...]

How excited are you feeling for tomorrow?! I am super excited! Busy putting together a little Bafana soccer fan outfit for Lily, and planning how I can look the part too.

To ease myself back into blogging from baby-land, I thought I’d show you some of the beautiful handmade gifts that Lily was given.
My Mom–in-law knitted the bright yellow Sun. How cute? It’s the perfect addition to her toy shelf.
And then she was given these beautiful little booties. Slightly big for her now, but perfect for [...]

So, our precious little angel girl was born one week ago – 26th May. Her name is Lily, but while in my tummy, we called her Bug (we didn’t know it was a her!), so now she’s our Lily-Bug. The experience of birth, of meeting our bubba and now getting to know her, is one [...]
