Rows.

I am addicted to stitching rows and rows ...
On pockets ...
























And hems ...

Trust.

I took this photo of the van in front of us at a traffic light last week:
In Jesus Christ we trust ...




















But obviously not all the way ...

Stamp.

I got this at a stall at the Kalk Bay Market last weekend, dating from the days of the Union of South Africa.
































I thought it was a date stamp, as there are 6 wheels with numbers.
































But upon trying it out I realized that it was used to number copies of documents.























Wheeeeee! I can number something up to 999999! (Perhaps the number of pages I am still waiting for from the two publishers? Both late, and with only four days to finish them ...)

It is that time of the week again - and so I wish you: A Great Weekend!

Little Green Man.

I can't help liking this evil-looking little critter which appeared recently in a bus shelter near Simonstown. He is kind of cute, you have to admit.
































Have a great week, everyone! And if you  take the bus, beware of The Little Green Man.

Have a great weekend, everyone. But do not eat too many cookies ...
