So glad that it is Friday again. Love being at home with my family doing my own thing. Be it cooking or reading etc. This global family thing is not very amusing, I miss my brother and sister and their two young ones. Melbourne is a tat to far for a quick visit.

Wonder how others feel having their family so far from them. Especially when you were a close knit family. Here in South Africa we see more and more of our elderly folk who stayed behind when their family went to find a new home in another country. Some stay behind not wanting to leave the know, friends and church, for the unknown. But what about the ones who would love to be with their children, but is just not viable, losing their income, medical fund and then not wanting to be a burden to their family. For me not being able to hug them or talk to them face to face when ever you want to, or to be able to hop in your car and be of assistance when they need help,that is the worst. But enough of that. This quilt (regrettable not a very good photo) went home with my Aunt Wien all the way to Kerikeri, New Zealand.

We called it "A Piece of the South African Sun" Or as we say in Afrikaans - 'n Stukkie van Sonnige Suid- Afrika. I enjoyed ever moment doing this. This pattern came from a craft magazine and was easy fun to do.
The children enjoyed the chocolate cinnabons I have made. I found an old magazine recipe and gave it a try with my bread maker. There is a few things that need some adjusting before I can share it with you. But needless to say that it was very good.
Till next time
