Hello Bloggers :)
I hope the sun is shining as brightly in your lives as it is in mine :)
-well not literally, the clouds have actually swallowed the sky, along with the huge table shaped mountain on my doorstep, literally!
Anyway the skies may be full of angry grey smoke but life is good!
My Bestest has recently moved to this very wet and chilly city, as recently as yesterday :) :) :) I am too excited for what The Mother City has in store for her, I see only wonderful times ahead :)
Business is on the go, no holidays here! I will be hard at work all weekend, and next week will have my first catalogue go out... fun :)
While on the subject of the catalogue, the size/s stated with the picture of the shoe is/are the only sizes available, and stock is limited. If you are not the early bird don't stress... we can always chat about another pair that could be similar or a custom design to suit the occasion!
The beauty of do.re.mi is the originality, the confidence of knowing your designer heels are one of a kind!
Onto my art... I need to get busy with it, like last month!! I have realised I work best under pressure, it will all get done... it has to!
Well I hope you are all well, thanks again to my faithful readers that check back daily, you all keep me smilling (I'm almost on 1000 pageviews- go me :) ) haha.
Stay warm

God's Art
Hello Bloggers
I am still terribly busy with exam studies, but had to share this with you.
While waiting to fetch my husband from work I took the time to relax a while and get a few shots of the amazing Cape Town evening skies...
This image is unedited- and hence the title 'God's Art'
How blessed we are too see sights so beautiful... and how blessed is Chad to work with this view!!

more morning skies...
Hi :)
Long time no see... or write.. or blog.. what does on say? lol
So exams are right around the corner (although they feel like they have been right around the corner since forever!), a week from today I will be one exam down and 4 to go, yes 5 in total and 3 in a row... sigh... it will be all be over soon I guess... roll on 11 June!!!
Anyway with all the stress of studying, lesson plans for school and then generally mundane day to day tasks I am feeling rather un-inspired :(
Took a few pics of this mornings beautiful sky being eaten by a wall of mist.. I got a few good shots before the mist engulfed Kalk Bay, take a look see :)

My Morning Train Rides
Hi :)
Walking out my front door this morning I was greeted by the most magnificent sunrise, the sky was all shades of pink and orange and purple, the clouds majestic with golden lining, I am sure that every Capetonian awake before 8am couldn’t help but notice this amazing view.
So today’s sunrise inspired this blog...
Days when I can take the train to work I do, it saves petrol (which seems to go nowhere these days!) and I don't have to deal with traffic. You'd think that's enough reason for somebody to put up with Metrorail’s delays and cancelations... but no, I have even more reason to get excited for my train rides... the VIEWS!
Take a look at a few of my morning views...

Unisa Art Workshop
Hi Everyone
I hope you are all well and have had a lovely week J
I have! J I had my first UNISA art workshop this week, where I handed in all my art assignments, for drawing, painting and sculpture. Half of the workshop comprised of lectures, a few activities, and the other half was assessing.
Our lecturers, Gwen Miller, Emma Willemse, Fabian Wargau and Katya Venter, were amazing. Such brilliant artists themselves, look them up! They gave me great advice and were very inspiring! Their marking was tough but at least you know when you get that good mark you really do deserve it! I passed all my modules, woop woop, not amazing marks but a pass is a pass when you’ve been as busy as I have!
Here’s a few photos of my art...
Moving on... more busy times ahead, I have my Eco Craft Classes happening soon, yay for that J This term is my teaching prac term, so lots of lesson planning ahead! Then there are exams end of May- not amped for those, and finally, submission of art assignment 2. Excited for the road ahead, a little nervous about my time management skills failing to improve- I really do need time management tips, that work, please J
I am getting Photoshop soon, can’t wait to start with the digital drawing!!
Watch this space J
Well best I get down to my art research, first on the list is defining the line between art and craft, where it is blurred and what are the do’s and don’ts.
