Impala Lilies

These gorgeous little flowers only bloom in the winter in Africa... they are my favourite and they  remind me of cherry blossoms...

We found this majestic lady about 200 meters from our home this morning.Such a wonderful way to warm up a freezing winter's day.

Blue Brooch & Peony Rose


Despite this crazy life in the bush I still kept my childhood passion for design and many different forms of art... so here it is; two of the dresses that I did for my " Blue Brooch & Peony Rose" collection. They are fun and playful and made to be worn out in the African sun! The fabric is traditional and I added little whimsical touches to make them unique. As I never have anywhere to wear them to my darling sister is usually the one who gets one of my latest creations in the post!
Our crazy spaniel...Always having a good time.
I was so so happy to see that my little blog now has readers from Russia, the US,Germany,France,Spain,Great Britain,Taiwan,Malaysia and even Latvia! That is so exciting and I am so happy that I can maybe provide a little entertainment or even just a little smile.
I would like to ask all of you - please post comments, let me know what you think, what you like and what you would like to see more of.
But for now.... have a wonderful evening, wrap yourself in a fluffy blanket and light a little fire!
The "little" (14 kg!) kitty I just can't get enough of!
