Monday already ? Can't be ...

Well what a weekend ... I think again this one was just too damned short ... no we don't have a long weekend this weekend - August Bank Holiday doesn't mean a thing here boo! hoo! But hey! we have a lot more 'public holidays' than you guys in the UK do anyway... so I guess it's "even Stevens!" then...

To all my friends and family (hubby etc.) in the UK have a good Bank Holiday today :-)

Kelsey & I had the pleasure of joining friends Cheryl, Mike and their girls on Saturday at 'The Shark Tank' to watch the Currie Cup Rugby (our local and best, I'll have you know... Rugby Team is called the Sharks and their home ground is lovingly known as The Shark Tank!!!) We had a fab day ... went a bit earlier than usual so that we could get the 'braai' set up etc... Cheryl was soooo organised with the camping table and chairs, and she even had the kettle for tea (gotta love a well organised woman!!!:-) We had to be set up early so the boys could escape to the Pub and the big screen to watch The Boks whoop some more ass in Australia for the Tri Nations ...

The Sharks played against Western Province and unfortunately we lost that ONE !!! Hey our excuse is cos most of our best boys are in the Boks team overseas!!!!!

However overall a great day was had by all - Kelsey was chuffed cos I got his rugby ball signed by the team .... (well some of us'll do anything to oggle those hunks eh?)

Sunday we had a lovely lazy (and hot) day at home ... there was a very hot 'Berg Wind' blowing through the house and it actually felt like someone had a fan heater blowing ... I'm told Spring is definitely here because the Kites and the Monkeys are back ... Indi and Shadow spent the best part of the morning being taunted by the monkeys sitting on the telephone wires (I'm sure they are teasing the dogs - it would not surprise me if we saw them sticking their tongues out and going da ta ta da ta da ta!!!)

I had a really productive day too ... see my latest 'Handbag Bling' ... I'm really getting into this beading stuff ... well I don't need much space to work and the results are quick ... and pretty and sparkly!!!!

So far I have done 3 colours but I have another 2 colourways to try - Orange (well tans/browns and oranges) & Blue. Of course I had to do my favourite colour first - PURPLE... it looks so good on my Purple Kipling 'DARLING!!!!!'

Pinks for all the Girly Girls:

Purkles for ME !!!!!!

Black & White for the elegant bags

And all 3 colours of the ones I have completed so far :


Of course true to form I didn't just make 1 of each, me do things in singular ... made at least 7 of each colour !!!! I can hear Glenis saying it now .... so typical gotta overdo it!!! :-O
