Websites

I really enjoy browsing new websites.

After a most stimulating visit with a friend of mine I started browsing her website: www. helpuhelpu.co.za  and haven't stopped since.

Filled with great ideas, fun quizzes and help-u info it's really worthwhile. Why not visit it and find out for yourself. 

Of Classes and Holidays

Our group projects have been a great success this semester. Each person has chosen a quotation ranging from cooking to grandparenting with various coloured papers to share with the class. 

A small book of about 12cms square will be the result with each person doing an original page and then photocopying that for each person in the class. A great little book - Calli-Capers - with various design and calligraphy examples for all.

Once again we are all on our various ways. We leave for Kenya this Saturday and others are going to the Cape and the bush. 

Of course we all enjoy regrouping to share holiday stories and experiences. 

Here's to holidays!!

Grand - Children and Good Food

Rachel and Ashleigh spent a few days with us this past weekend. Always a great time, but of course, they keep me on my toes.

Visits to the Zoo Lake [to feed the pesky geese] are a highlight. This we do regularly with little packs of apple, cheese and bread to tear up for the gabbles.

Afterwards we order  cappucino for Nan-Marie and two baby chinos for the little girls. This time they went to do the activities at Moyo's play area which is fun for all. Nana watches, the girls do the activity.

Sunday lunch the girls prepared dessert - Glasses layered with yoghurt, muesli crumble and freshly sliced strawberries. Of course you can use cream, crumbled meringue and strawberries if you prefer. The ideal quick dessert - especially if there are two eager little girls helping.

New projects

The Thursday group of calligraphers is about to start a new project: each person will choose a quotation and instruct the group on how to prepare the page. Everyone will end up with a small square book filled with great ideas, creativity and some good quotations.

Wednesday evening classes begin again this Wednesday. 17h00 - 19h00. Once again we will be dealing with Italic and creative projects. 

Saturday classes will begin again in September.
