<br />
So. Another year comes to a close and, <i>ohmygoodnessgraciousme</i>, it's <a href="http://spitthepips.blogspot.com/search/label/eggnog" target="_blank">Eggnog Day</a>! Hard to believe that last year,<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyN-fmdJ9DBBLx2eU6nxgtymSBeKrrfxeNhY5K-J9J78Y_HQlKl5UlJMFTVtyuQG3G6sdpqndM3l3vbvKz3jq82-qGBmu2K_-TozqVuTpQJMPOY1JQGbLRGmpx_r6cnNhyphenhyphen6OPIXaWDF2xU/s1600/_-7-1.jpg" target="_blank"> this little one</a> spent most of the time curled up on the couch, snoozing and snuffling in the most adorable newborn way. Now, a whole year older, our cheeky little elf couldn't wait to dip his fingers into Cyril's eggnog, wear his aunty's shades, play peekaboo with glassware and demolish an ornament or two. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Such an adorable little <i>monkey-elf</i>!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So. <br />
Was it hot? Why yes. It is tradition to sweat a little when putting up mom's tree.<br />
<br />
Did we wear something silly on our heads? Yep. We gave it horns this year. Horns with bells on.<br />
<br />
Was there confusion over lights, which ones worked, which ones were for outside and which were for inside, where the hell were the plugs and power adapters again? Oh yes. Definitely. It would be No Fun without that sort of confusion.<br />
<br />
Did we get slightly pissed? Yes. This too is the tradition.<a href="http://256.com/gray/recipes/eggnog/" target="_blank">Cyril's nog</a> has no small measure of booze hidden in it's innocent-looking creamy depths.<br />
<br />
Another wonderful day with an ever expanding (ahem ;-P ) family. Such magical moments. Thanks guys. <br />
<br />
And happy holidays everyone!<br />

Colour is my crack and painting in this free and intuitive way is some kind of awesome high. Sometimes I wish things could move along faster but I know actually, during a school week,(when I really should be worrying about assessments) this is perfect for me. Each day, I log in to hear some thoughts on intuition and creativity or a do creative project, and twice a week videos with Flora showing the next step with another layer to add to my rapidly evolving canvases. <br />

She's warned us not get get too attached to the canvas as it's going to change a whole lot more. So I took a look, snapped the pic... and it will probably not be around next Tuesday.<br />

One little thing sparks off an idea which blossoms into this great big itch and before you know it you're in Fabric City drooling over bolts of fabric, spending all your hard-earned cash. Well, that's how it works for me anyway.<br />

And because we're having such a lovely cool and wet summer (what the hell<i> are</i> holidaymakers in the Cape <i>doing</i> with themselves?) I'm in the mood for endless measuring and cutting. My fave holiday movies are in a little stack in front of the DVD, a jazzy, retro Christmas playlist is on my hard drive (plus anything I can find from <a href="http://www.hbo.com/treme/index.html">Treme</a>) and I just have to find a way to get the kittehs out the flat.<br />

There's nothing quite like that feeling of accomplishment you get when you finish a project. I'm still amazed that I actually <i>do</i> finish these things. I remember sewing classes at school. I <i>loved</i> them. The boys would all go off to woodwork (or wherever - I could never be bothered to find out) and the girls all sat and sewed little crosses on pieces of red or blue gingham and chattered about ...stuff...the most recent episode of Magnum maybe. I loved it! But I never, EVER finished any of my needlework projects. The knitted Boogaloo? Nope. The hessian wall hanging? Uh uh. The simple skirt in high school? No way. How the hell did I get to this point then? Well, my parents must have blithely ignored all signs of needle impairedness 'cause they got me a sewing machine for my 21st birthday. I taught myself to sew T-shirts and skirts using a kindly neighbour's Burda magazines and sewed my own clothes through college and the first few years of teaching when money was tough and the dress code more formal than it is now. I still miss my long, swishy four panel skirts - wish I hadn't thrown the pattern away! So I'm always especially chuffed and not a little surprised when I get to complete a quilt. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5rN1_Mq0f2U847CDSXXM6bvFh-1spewD6jqEWkNY3hNr5TB3jHcH0GnQ_xdSMsHDq_pHwl9O5YLF3lA-0xfKMv6E541ZRhMfoNqlWTKC72uUhbxFziHTu6U1v6ZK4W_thQqiNynsGCbr-/s1600/_-12-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5rN1_Mq0f2U847CDSXXM6bvFh-1spewD6jqEWkNY3hNr5TB3jHcH0GnQ_xdSMsHDq_pHwl9O5YLF3lA-0xfKMv6E541ZRhMfoNqlWTKC72uUhbxFziHTu6U1v6ZK4W_thQqiNynsGCbr-/s320/_-12-1.jpg" width="320" /></a> <br />

This is my Denyse Schmidt Hope Valley fabric quilt. The design is mine but heavily influenced by her modern strips of random lengths. I tried a reversible backing effect but won't do anything as detailed next time as sometimes there are four layers of material to stitch through- too thick for neat, tiny stitches. And bloody painful on the fingers! <br />

These guys are now happily settled<a href="http://stevemeri.blogspot.com/2011/08/family-of-monsters.html"> into their new home</a> but don't be too surprised if there are new additions to the family- They are too much fun to make! Rebecca Danger designed the patterns and the one I used can be found<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/65333501/max-the-monster-sewing-pattern-pdf"> here</a> if the spirit moves you. Incredibly easy but don't over stuff as the final crotch sewing bit is not.fun. And practice your satin stitch first. <br />

But, we've had enough of it now. Bring on the rain and a good old Cape winter storm please!<br />
Preferably not while I'm at the HOD meeting in Khayelitsha on Tuesday though, thanks. <br />

I learned that my little passage only needs three (ok, that <i>was</i> a bit of a push- next time I'll do it with four) little 250ml test pots of paint, coming to a grand total of R70. As the smallest tin I could have them mix up was 5litres at R450 a pop allow me to do my Jack Black <i>stick-it-to-the-man </i>pose. Heee!<br />

Bummer that all three pics have a slightly different hue but the first pic is pretty acurate. The colour is Plascon's 'Bottlenose' - a greyish, greenish blue. I had planned on going much darker but it didn't look that great. I suppose because it's quite a dark little passage already. I really,<i> really</i> wanted to make the skirting boards white. Think how cool <i>that</i> would look! But as the rest of the flat has white walls I thought it would be rather a waste. I like the dark stain against the white.<br />

My mom and I escaped to the country and spent a few days in majestic <a href="http://www.capenature.co.za/reserves.htm?reserve=Jonkershoek+Nature+Reserve">Jonkershoek valley</a>. Not quite the <a href="http://spitthepips.blogspot.com/search/label/Canada">Canadian Rockies</a> but pretty darn close. Ok, no elk, bears or glacier fed lakes but the gorgeous mountains eased our pain a bit and reminded us that one needn't go off on excruciatingly long flights to experience a bit of awe and wonder.<br />

Bits from my quilt, bits for <a href="http://www.etsy.com/transaction/51137347">monster toys</a> and a crib quilt for baby Tester, bits from my scarf and other odds and ends that I might need...just in case.

I'm very inspired by all things <a href="http://www.dsquilts.com/quilts.asp">Denyse Schmidt</a> at the moment. Her prints are pretty awesome and I lurve, lurve lurve her quilts. I love her colour combinations and the designs themselves are modern - nothing fussy and garish. <br />

I'm working on a quilt based on her <a href="http://www.dsquilts.com/fabric_and_patterns.asp?PageID=168&ImageID=471">Hope Valley </a> range. I loved the greens and yellows and didn't want to mix them with the pinks and oranges so I tried a reversible effect.<br />

The other Denyse Schmidt project I've been working on is the scarf from her book. Not using any of her fabrics- just bits of tweed and herringbone (surprisingly soft!) and silks and cottons pieced any which way. I'd love to try cushion covers like this.<br />

I've been busy sewing mostly. I have also read more ebooks than I'd care to admit and have spent other bits of my time watching two most excellent new TV series namely, The Killing and Game of Thrones ...with a bit of old Australian Master Chef thrown in. <br />
<br />
Meri took delivery of her quilt today and I loved how it looks on her!Lol<br />
I hope it gives plenty of warmth and good snuggle value for years to come.<br />
