In the Uk in September 2013
I flew to London on the 18th September to spend 10 days with my sister . While there I attended the Big Stamp and Scrapbooking Fair held at Alexandra Palace(Ally Pally). Wow, what a feast for the eyes!!!
There were demonstrations at most stalls. I was fascinated by the new Sparkle medium at BJ crafts. went back a second time to watch and purchased a starter pack. I'm so glad i did. You can make the most stunning cards with them in a couple of minutes!!!

International Quilt Convention Africa
From the 6th - 8th Sept I attended IQCA which was held in Johannesburg at Emperors Palace. "Quilters Paradise" ladies shopped till they dropped, watched demos and attended courses by local and overseas teachers. I was fortunate enough to attend a Ricky Tims workshop . In six hours he shared as much of his knowledge as he could, he inspired us and motivated us to make fabulous quilts. We were fed scrumptious meals throughout the day - I say this because the teas were like meals- so much to choose from. A great time was had by all!!

Pencil drawings
My pencil drawings of my sister, my pet and myself. I still need to work on the details but I'm pleased with my first attempt at portraits! I think the mouths are slightly off and I need to learn to shade properly to create depth. Just used an ordinary HB pencil.
