My friend, Thania has opened her new Spinning Studio in town. She has been in this business for almost 12 years now. She started off with a small studio at her parents house and has grown ever since. She has so much passion for what she is doing and everybody just loves her. I have been teaching spinning classes with her for the last 8 years. I have not taken pictures of the other side,which she uses for Pilate's, they are busy installing some equipment. I wish her all the luck and happiness in this new place. I must also mention that she has done 5 Iron Man challenges in a row,a friend to be proud of.<br />
Hope you are having a super day!taniahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10666837393518868053noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284496593532541763.post-45477437579144701202013-01-14T04:42:00.002-08:002013-01-14T04:42:30.791-08:00Sneaking back in...the start of new horizons for my daughter.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It has been a long time. But I am back, with lots of time on my hands.<br />After the Big move that is. My daughter is leaving for the city,to start her studies as First Year. She will be studying Accounting Science, since she wants to become a Charted Accountant.<br />
She got 4 distinctions in her final exams and we are awaiting 3 re-marks. We are so very proud of her,she showed so much commitment during her schoolyears and we know that she will continue the hard work and dedication. She is already exited for the new life she is going to start,mom on the other hand...so much to get use to. We already have 99% of her things together,and a empty wallet after all of this.lol!!<br />
<br />
I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and New Years,I hope to post here more often.taniahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10666837393518868053noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284496593532541763.post-52201609390866617292012-10-08T01:07:00.001-07:002012-10-08T01:07:53.892-07:00Matric farewell photos<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had a Matric farewell two week ago! Megan's farewell. I cannot believe that all of her school years are coming to a end now. Within two weeks the final exams are starting. Then it is holidays. And then....she will be going to university. It is very hard to swallow. I am not sure how to handle all of this,but YES, my only little girl is going away! But anyhow,here are a few pictures of her and her partner. Hope you like it!</div>

So my blogging has been like allover the place lately,but hey, I am still well and kicking. A while ago a friend of mine asked to take some photos of Megan, she came all the way from Pretoria, we went on a road trip to take these, there are quite a<br />
few,will share some more...later:)<br />
We are busy with matric farewell dressmaking,found a very good designer, out of town and we are positive the outcome will be stunning:) First fit...this coming weekend!<br />
I am busy with a Magic tiles quilt, and two crocheted blankets in progress...<br />
I am back at spinning...FULL FORCE!!! Must admit that I was a bit lazy lately.<br />
Well then, since it is wayyyy past my bedtime...you have a good one:)<br />

Just a quick share...my Quilt Carry Bag. We made it in our weekly class, it is a pattern from Heather Weldron.<br />
I am not really a big fan of stars, for me it is very much precision working,but I managed to make all 5.<br />
I used the very vibrant colours in the ShweShwe range. So the bag is designed to store a quilt,but I decided to use it as my knitting/crochet bag, it is packed with wool and needles!!lol!<br />

Hallo Everybody!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No excuses for not blogging,but here I am...and with a final product! My first handmade doll. I got the pattern from a Handmade and Quilting magazine. She took me a few weeks, but I am happy with the final result. Here we are experiencing some cold weather, with a serious cold front hitting us this weekend. Just more reason to stay indoors and do something crafty.</div>

I made this ring binder cover. It is very quick and easy. I absolutely adore the fabric,which is from STUDIO E FABRICS. What I must still do is attach a huge button in the middle of my flower, do some stitching around my flower and hand stitch my binding. Then it is done! I ordered some new fabric, can't wait for it to come and I will show:)taniahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10666837393518868053noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284496593532541763.post-13138305023668783342012-04-14T08:28:00.000-07:002012-04-14T08:28:56.015-07:00A cute stitching project{almost done}<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxFDU963D-ml9g4V33GgzAn7dB_JS4ikTeWX0iTsRMJE2usep7YSGmsUhtwVgiujjGm-Ev8U0wXLDGCWcmsJW6N1LxUt6kk-brlsZgtGHsaibKMSMEMXIYMS7sHPfXgtpSCjLLggYvlnb0/s1600/DSCN0032.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxFDU963D-ml9g4V33GgzAn7dB_JS4ikTeWX0iTsRMJE2usep7YSGmsUhtwVgiujjGm-Ev8U0wXLDGCWcmsJW6N1LxUt6kk-brlsZgtGHsaibKMSMEMXIYMS7sHPfXgtpSCjLLggYvlnb0/s400/DSCN0032.JPG" width="326" /></a></div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I tried my hand at some <b>stitching</b>,lol!!

I am still alive!lol!! for those thinking I left earth,no I am still here!!<br />
LIFE just got in the way of me and my computer.<br />
My husband had leave for more than an month, I just quickly updated my mails and sneaked in a comment here and there, the rest of the time we spend with him. He is back at work now, but I went to him twice already, so I was away from home again.<br />
This term was hectic!! My word!! Matric allover again!! Megan is studying and working very hard to keep her grades up to standard,she already applied at two universities for next year's studies. It was track and field season , the hockey started at the same time. I had to help out at my mom's house, since she was a bit ill, but is better now.<br />
I did work on some quilts and crocheting, will upload after Easter.<br />
Hope you are all still well and I promise to pop in real soon.taniahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10666837393518868053noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284496593532541763.post-43576040970339700992012-01-17T01:31:00.000-08:002012-01-17T01:31:08.717-08:00LOVIN TO LIVE OUT LOUD{a layout}<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ5Y9DIndHBdDZFGXLFwJ2t6cgY-TZ_yHl22cRvAAQTZJrnO-ZkMiS4MBPJKrpUTZ5QF151y_TOXkWt8ukiTXQbnXGtBpnBlxaaJnH6NaYHDXVlt0qeoFR0WS0Ch5hrldQf8CZ_1XqGTWA/s1600/_DSC0001-001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ5Y9DIndHBdDZFGXLFwJ2t6cgY-TZ_yHl22cRvAAQTZJrnO-ZkMiS4MBPJKrpUTZ5QF151y_TOXkWt8ukiTXQbnXGtBpnBlxaaJnH6NaYHDXVlt0qeoFR0WS0Ch5hrldQf8CZ_1XqGTWA/s320/_DSC0001-001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Did a layout late last night, but had to wait for the glitter to dry,so I only finished it this morning.<br />
I took this photo of Megan on our way from Gordons Bay to Hermanus,along the road,on our short vacation to Cape Town.<br />
I used Bo Bunny paper, some really old ribbon out of my stash and KaiserCraft Rub ons.<br />
As we speak I am on my way to help her cover her books for tomorrow's first day of school, yes MATRIC! The past weekend we bought her Matric tie,cannot believe that we are there now!!<br />

But the number on the book was already 43. I thought...ok,let's take this one and see. So in the packet is a little ball of wool, a beautiful colour and then of course the booklet which is filled with all kinds of patterns and techniques in crochet. I thought DARN!! I missed a lot. You see, at the end...which is NUMBER 120!! You finish this crafty throw. Off to CNA I went again..asking them what the chances are to get the back copies of this magazine. Today, i am short of only 10! I have them all! Well up to number 70 anyway. So will start this throw anytime now. But like all things I don't fancy all the blocks, so here and there I will make an adjustment and make the throw my own creation. In the end this throw will cost me like at least one of my kidneys!!lol!! ok but have them now, so need to finish it. I worked out to do about at least 3-4 blocks a week! I am still busy with my other blanket, but that is getting a bit heavy and warm on my lap now in the summer, so will do that as my winter project. </div>taniahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10666837393518868053noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284496593532541763.post-12093575044069439552012-01-05T23:30:00.000-08:002012-01-05T23:30:40.822-08:00Almost a week into the new year...my word for 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmwXlXvDmak6OxVtrZcTJJZUApUQnb4Lly0UXEmpAxRjPXyOgw2b5ZZVPGvLFpBlyXV1u7Inse5zQc_Nanuwm7i8YCTopu7myL22r9PHc0CF_G5ZYcDfGd1VYAmUaFCp5dlzpTdRm1XHRE/s1600/simplify.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="114" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmwXlXvDmak6OxVtrZcTJJZUApUQnb4Lly0UXEmpAxRjPXyOgw2b5ZZVPGvLFpBlyXV1u7Inse5zQc_Nanuwm7i8YCTopu7myL22r9PHc0CF_G5ZYcDfGd1VYAmUaFCp5dlzpTdRm1XHRE/s320/simplify.gif" width="320" /></a></div>After much thought, I have decided to HAVE a word for 2012.<br />
In so many ways I think this will be my key word to some success in the new year.<br />
By<i> simplifying</i> you can actually link the word "MINIMIZE" too. Here is but just a few things that crossed my mind this morning:<br />
<br />
By MINIMIZING negative thoughts I can be more productive,whether in my home, arts and crafts,etc.<br />
By negative thoughts I mean thinking that I cannot take the perfect photo's so why bother? But by thinking just snap and go and you have the memories that will last forever! Same goes into scrapping, quilting or whatever I do.<br />
By MINIMIZING bad eating habits, I can live a more simplified life too!lol! I mean walking to the kitchen every time to have a nibble takes up much time,hey?<br />
by MINIMIZING shopping, I can save money,YES!! Why not use what I have? Makes the journey more interesting not? I know it is way nicer to hit the shops now and again, but you end up in buying stuff you don't really need. I can think of food,we buy in bulk, because we "SAVE" but in the end of the week, all that was fresh has gone bad, so when you have to throw it all out...where is the "SAVE" I want to know?<br />
By SIMPLIFYING my life,it means I should de-clutter. Whether it is in my mind or in my house. This year I want to live easier,by saying that I mean do more,to SIMPLIFY my life.<br />
I can do a few small things like:<br />
Put my car keys on the same spot every time, no more looking for the keys!<br />
By ironing every day's little bits, I won't have to stand one whole day doing that!<br />
By planning my menu for the week, I won't waste time thinking what to cook.<br />
Planning quick trips in advance I won't end up driving around the whole day.<br />
So it all comes to planning,something that does not really exist in my life, but soon will! oh YES!<br />
<br />
<b><u>By setting CHALLENGES and GOALS for myself this year, I WILL end up living SIMPLIFIED in 2012!</u></b><br />
<b><u>And by shortening this post I will end up minimizing YOUR time to read my babble!LOL!!</u></b><br />

I met this kind friend in Blog world,<a href="http://aliciaking.typepad.com/">Alicia</a>,she did all this for me in the blink of an eye;)<br />
Thank You so much for you kindness and patience.<br />
We are worlds apart,but yet it was so easy to communicate.<br />
I am SUPER busy!<br />
Had 3 orders on number 99 for Christmas cookies.<br />
I baked my own Birthday cake, will share that soon.<br />
I had my birthday yesterday,my husband traveled all the way to come and surprise me for the day and drove back this morning. I will be visiting him this weekend.<br />
In between I have the normal everyday things to do.<br />
I also have to help my mother,since her leg has a serious fracture that just would not heal,helping her with cleaning and cooking.<br />
Our studio is closing tomorrow for the holidays,shweee, that will be a good thing or a VERY bad thing.<br />

We decided on our first day to take the RED BUS at the V&A Waterfront and follow the RED route the bus takes. Let me tell you I got one RED tan!!{lol }I never noticed the sun burning me, because we were on the move the whole time. But nevertheless, we saw some beautiful buildings and churches,little shops and visited a few museums. The RED route goes right up to Camps Bay, will share the rest at another time.<br />
Something that I really noticed is how grown Megan has become, when they are small, they just want to ball on the beach and they don't really appreciate sight seeings like these, but she enjoyed every minute. This was actually our second last official school holiday together, we have one left next year and then she will be done with school!! Time DOES fly.<br />

I have passed the test. <b>I am forever procrastinating</b>. It goes like this:<br />
Do you put things off, always finding excuse to do something tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow? <b>{YES}</b><br />
We're all guilty of it from time to time, but frequent procrastination can result in problems at work, in your relationships and with your health. This is according to Shape Magazine, and there is a test, I did the test and had the highest score too!!<br />
My score? <b>A whopping 101-150</b><br />
<i><b>You're a classic Procrastinator- and it is Affecting Your Life.</b></i><br />
"Later, tomorrow, some point in the future" - has become your mantra. You will do whatever you can{consciously or not} to avoid the tasks you don't want to do - and maybe even those you have no issue with, but feel like you can put off anyway.<br />
If procrastination is not already a serious issue in your life, it will become one. It's time to give yourself a reality check! putting things off often tends to backfire or make matters even worse.<br />
Start giving yourself rewards for tasks that you get done right away. There is nothing wrong with giving yourself incentives, as long as you take the incentive after you've done what you set out to do. this will reinforce the general sense of well being and pride that comes with completing tasks.<br />
<br />
After reading this, I was actually shocked!! Because this is me spot on!!<br />
What I have been delaying in only this month?<br />
<i>*Making my bag for the quilt class</i><br />
<i>*Booking our year end function for the quilting group</i><br />
<i>*Getting a dress made for me and Megan for a function</i><br />
<i>*Everyday things like washing and ironing</i><br />
<i>*Scrapping</i><br />
<i>*Photos</i><br />
<i>*Compiling new play list for spinning</i><br />
<i>*Blogging</i><br />
And the list goes on and on...<br />
That was until last Monday...<br />
I do a list now <b>EVERYDAY</b><br />

Every year the Grade 11's read the book "Kringe in 'n Bos" written by Dalleen Mathee, then they have to pass all tests on this book and then they qualify to go walk the Knysna woods. Of course we must buy all the equipment like bags, stoves,sleeping bags,etc. and the travelling costs to Hartenbos can be paid through the year. The trip from here is very long, almost 21hours, that I think is very hard on them. Then there is 5 routes they can choose from, they are all between 50km's and 57km's. Route 2 was the one Megan went on, that route is 57km's and includes a few rivers and mountains to cross. She and her group of friends completed every day's route successfully. So here are some photies:)taniahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10666837393518868053noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284496593532541763.post-61156550178623520542011-09-30T05:30:00.000-07:002011-09-30T05:30:21.472-07:00I have a very generous friendMy friend <a href="http://helentilbury.blogspot.com/">Helen</a> is celebrating her Blog Anniversary!!

Ok, this did not go as planned, for many reasons. My very good friend Helen gave me some great tips, but for the following reasons they did not all go according to plan:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First of all, the girl and guy were not a couple,making the romantic type of photo's impossible,I thought they were.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I tried out a new lens, a 50mm Nikon fixed lens, when you are use to zoom and focus you now must move closer or away from your subject all the time, BUT you do get clearer photo's in the end. They were in a bit of a rush.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am quite pleased with the family photos, though.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And from the beginning, although it is a friend of mine, I was VERY nervous about the whole thing. So here a few of them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And for the next time...I don't know, maybe I will stick to outdoor wildlife photo's and my MAIN subject Megan!</div>
