Ed Suter

Ed Suter is the photographer behind the book Sharp Sharp, a look into South African streetstyle. In this book he captures the beauty of South Africa; the beauty that we see on the streets every day; the diversity of South African life. I had the pleasure of introduction to his work at a local market recently, and instantly fell in love with his photographic style.

See a vimeo clip of him at work, here and visit his website here.

Happy day! 

About cats and dogs

The Cheetah and I had two "charges" for the weekend a while ago. They are our neighbours and their owners went camping for a couple of days, leaving them in our care. Of course the Cheetah and his friend had a lot of fun with these two but they had to make sure to keep the rascals off our property. Our "girls" (three cats) are not impressed by canine visitors at all and would be most offended if we'd let them in.

getting all tangled up

I've got to keep up.....

Walking them was a lot of fun since they're so well-behaved. It took a while to "un-tangle" them from the tree and each other but we managed eventually (giggle...)

Happy weekend!!

Crochet projects

I'm learning to crochet from the Net, and the patterns and tutorials are just fantastic. My personal favourites are those tutorials on YouTube that takes next to no time at all to finish, and with instant results. Here are some of them....

I saw this cute project here on The Royal Sisters blog....

Some of  them are quite wonky, hence the angle of the photo; but I'm getting there.... Just to have enough time to sit and watch YouTube in order to crochet lots of  cute little "doilies"... But when I look at these and the designs, it's just SO worth it!!!!


More about crochet in a few days.... It seems I have a "small" obsession with this craft now, ha!


Happy day!

Photo editing

I'm playing around on picnik and The Graphics Fairy, and this is what I came up with. Pretty cool tools on picnik and I love the images from the Graphics Fairy - there's so much one can do with it!!!





I haven't yet decided what I will do with these images, but I'm thinking cushions or a picture for the wall; something like that....
