...way too much schnapps...

Once a year the German School Pretoria hosts this crazy German Carnival thingamabob. Its usually a group of Namibians that organize all of it and it is one HUGE party. We used to go to the Kinder Carnival, also known as the KIKA, when we were younger and I haven't been since. So last year Wollie's cousin, who is a crazy beer drinking namibian german, asked us to help out and we did. We got all our English and German friends together and said they should join us and it was such a party. I do think they were a little scared of the German craziness and all the Schnapps that we consumed that night, but it was such a huge party that we just had to go again this year and everyone was keen (so it couldnt have been that scary). Here are some pics, it was a crazy night of which I cannot remember much. yikes!!!

...handmade...

Guys...for Xmas my parents gave me a sewing machine. It is still in its box and I have never used it. As part of the deal I got free lessonsand still havnt been for them. I found this heart shaped zippered pouch on the purl bee that i want to make soon. They give you step by step instructions with measurements and everything. Think I might go and get some material tomorrow and see if I can make it. Would be the first time my pretty machine will be used...getting a little excited! Will keep you posted!

Our friend Peter came to visit last week and brought me a present (well I actually bought it myself, had it delivered to his UK address and he put it his his bag and brought it to SA). I am currently home alone for two weeks and think this is the perfect show to keep me entertained. I have just started watching and the first season is hilarious. Did you guys know that Mr Big already features at the beginning of the first episode if the first season? Here are some pics...Its so much fun, I love these girls!

Thought I would share this with you guys. This beautiful fashion blog (5 inch and up) was created by Sandra, a 20 something girl originally from Finland, now lives in London and studies Fashion Design at London College of Fashion. Sandra has such great style and makes me miss London so much. She finds some great stuff and sells it on her blog...Its very inspirational as she shares almost every outfit with us and I just LOVE her shoes... Check out her blog here...

...scrapyard...

There is something just too beautiful about scrapyards, they have an eery feeling. The other day we had to do a shoot for work at a scrapyard. It was out in Benoni, at this random yard, where there are thousands of cars and parts of cars, some don't even look like cars anymore. I took some me time during the day and snapped away at the beauties...

this is my favourite one!

Then this guy, I think his name was Werner, takes these f&^%ed up cars and re-builds them into these beauties....he has all sorts...a yellow cab, a new york police car, a Chevy everything!

PS: The brother of Werner lives in a bus, actually 3 buses. The one is the lounge, the one his bedroom and the last one they are busy rebuilding into a kitchen...its a scary but entertaining place!
