"When we wished upon a fairy" - Jungle Tots Hermanus School Play

For the past few weeks we have actively been involved in the creation of the annual school play of Jungle Tots Hermanus 

The play was written by myself - LOL
"When we wished upon a fairy" came alive in the Grobbelaar Hall, Hermanus on a superb summer evening!  The play is about a little boy Jake and his best friend Jules who goes in search of mushrooms and fairies in the Autumn woods close to their home - They spot a lonely fairy, Light in the dark, and she leads the children to her magical world - Which is filled with season fairies, they love their seasonal Pixie dust tree, the season fairies has various talents which they show and sing about - This musical was light-hearted and loads of fun!

Enjoy the concert snapshots!

An Apron made with LOVE - Lèèf Magazine Competition Entry

My mom decided to enter the Lèèf Magazine "Wys jou hart" apron sewing competition!

The brief was to make an apron while using a heart shape as inspiration -

I think my mommy can feel super proud of this effort! Wow I count 15 hearts in total!


 There are a few awesome prizes up for grabs and the aprons gets auctioned off for charity!
She used chain stitches to hand embroid a beautiful phrase - On a nine patch heart shaped bodice.  This bib is sewn to a bigger heart forming the bottom part of the apron.

The Heart Pockets on the sides are Uneven Lock Cabin, with appliqued mini-hearts which are blanked stitched.

White Crochet hearts finish off the binding straps on the sides.

I am sure if I ask my mom nicely, she'll make you a similar version too! ;-)
