1. Before I started blogging, I seldom used a camera. I always got someone else to take pics for me. Now the camera keeps my cell phone and wallet company in my handbag! I am thinking more in “Pictures” now! Last year I sold out my share of a coffee shop which we started. I regret that I have so few pics of all the creative work I did there over the 2 years. In this pic you can just catch a glimpse of some of the cushions I made with vintage doileys appliqued onto red cotton.
2. I love our new photographic package. I am not able to draw much more that a stick man, but now I am able to take pics and get the computer to turn them into a drawing for me! Very satisfying!
3. I got to go to the Design Indaba in Cape Town for the first time this year! It has been a dream to go for many years. I’m so glad I did.
4. I am hoping to launch an etsy shop. I have some ideas. Still working through them though!
5. I am attracted to Vintage “How-to” books. I love those old drawings.3. I got to go to the Design Indaba in Cape Town for the first time this year! It has been a dream to go for many years. I’m so glad I did.

6. Design, Style and a touch of Humour. These words fit together well for me.
7. Orange - By the time I left home to get married in the early 80s, I had a brown and orange bedroom - an orange rope monkey, an orange string lampshade, and orange floral print curtains! My wedding colour was apricot. I loved orange!!! But the love changed to hate. During the late 80s and 90s I couldn’t believe that I had loved the colour at all. I was quoted as saying: “Orange is so ugly – it should be illegal”. Well,I have come full circle again. All is forgiven and Orange and I are in love again!
I am reserving my right to tag 7 people at a later date!!??

Vintage 'How-to' books are irresistible to me too. The drawings are incredible, and the level of detail in the instructions is often inspiring. They assume that you are capable of learning.
I have a bit of an advantage on the wedding score, having been there!
You omitted to mention the orange / apricot dresses with orange FLUFF that the bridesmaids wore.
Any retrospective comments?

I did wonder if I should include a pic - but then I thought Nah! Although you did look gorgeous in Orange Fluff!!
I must say I had to laugh at the orange comment - as I am going through a red/burgundy phase - and I just love the way you describe the whole story - I was laughing out loud - thanks for the humor!
