these are the first of "the sweet life" cupcakes, I will update weekly with improvements in the decorations! I will keep practising..... I am not sure which I love the most, the baking, photography and still to come... the eating!

wacky wednesday

today's shot is not so wacky, I just like it because this goalie looks like he was taking off, it was pre World Cup, they were having so much fun but clearly take their game very seriously!

the sweet life

I am still sticking with the theme of 'love mondays' but also adding in my new venture, called 'the sweet life'. It is a work in progress... I am trying to find things that I love, bring me joy and make my heart sing... :0)

things I love thursday

I missed last thursday completely, so decided to dedicate thursdays to things I love, as part of an awareness of what makes me happy - a kind of 'happiness project'.  So here is the first of what I love, baking and crunchies!

wacky wednesday

Unfortunately you cannot see what is written on the apron as the picture is so small, but it says "I don't do housework on days ending in Y" most of the wacky shots seem to come from Kalk Bay, I quite liked this man in his apron!

I spotted this hole in a rock as we were out walking today, I realised that with its shadow it looks like the sign of yin and yang!

love mondays

Mondays seem to be the least liked day of the week, so I thought I would send the day some LOVE for a change!

scene on sunday

I love the bright colours of these changing huts and all the foot prints in the sand show what a popular spot Muizenberg beach in Cape Town is!

market saturday

Every Saturday morning there is a food market at the biscuit mill in Salt River, Cape Town.  It is a feast for the eyes as well as the belly!
