I had a creative morning today where I was introduced to some other ideas for embroidery. The flower centre is a scrunched up piece of "waste" fabric that I would normally throw in the bin, but this is a much better thing to do with it! With my beloved French knots in the middle. #embroidery

Giant baskets! These beauties arrive direct from #homofaberbiennial to find a temporary home in my store. It takes 2 weeks to weave a #babatreebasket of this size and quality. #handwovenbasket

I've been working on some vintage lace tablecloths from my stocks. What a joy to bring them back to life as Wearables. I am in awe of the skills of their original makers. This one is a very finely crocheted piece. #Crochet #Handmade

My latest #handknit, full of Cape Town sun and memories. The smalt mosaic stitch design is by designer Tashashu Gordon. Such a clever stitch, such a clever designer. I love #knitting it.

I am in Woodstock (Cape Town) until mid March, on my annual buying trip. One of my goals is to perfect my basic basketry skills. Each Thursday I am learning from the best, Victoria and Lindewe, two local Xhosa weavers. I am as happy as a pig in the you-know-what.

I have to admit I thought just this as I enjoyed neighbours' fireworks from my bedroom window last night, and I thank the universe, yet again, for how fortunate I am.
