Fab Friday is here EVENTUALLY

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE- I can stop biting my tongue now and let on what has been in the works for a while and is now finished- LOL !! I was sooo excited to have been asked to Collab with my dear friend and fellow South African designer Chaos Lounge( Jenni Rousseau) on this HUGE kit made specially for one of Jenni's readers!

Jenni (Chaos Lounge) held a competition on her blog not so long ago for readers to submit a theme and swatch and the winner would have THAT kit made especially for them.

Congratulations Dani! You chose a wine theme and sent in a fantastic swatch which we had GREAT fun playing with.

The kit was aptly named after Jenni's favourite wine- Angels Tears!

YIPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEE! Can you tell I'm excited- BWAHAHAHA.

I'm even typing this with a *wine head* today ,after a LONG dinner out with all the friends last night. Perfect Theming don't you think -hahaha

OK OK OK- I'll put you out of your misery and show you all the previews-lol

Excited

Yup- *Trouble* is almost here and I am on my way in 20 minutes to fetch her- HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I've had mails from all the friends this morning- the phone hasn't stopped ringing - WHEEEEEEEE. I feel like a kid waiting for my birthday party- hahaha.

I've done the shopping, stocked up on the aspirin, tummy meds, toilet paper and re-done the spare room so it's all new, clean and fresh! Loryn is staying for a week so I think it's going to be a rather full one this side! But really looking forward to it. I feel sorry for Nathan as he is starting his mid year exams and he is going to have to lock himself in his room to get some peace and quiet- OOOPS ;-)

I thought I would show you a few of the photo's of Loryn here with us and also WHY I say it's going to be busy-

Here comes Trouble

Well a good kind of trouble anyway! We are in for a BUSY weekend - starting early on Thursday afternoon! OUCH-lol

Loryn will be here Thursday lunch time as she is coming down for our dear friend Roche's Birthday party on Friday night! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I'm so excited, I haven't seen *Lolli* since the 2nd January this year! And Roche and all the other friends are wetting their pants too! LOL. So yeah, I think it's going to be a really GOOD FUN weekend. Old Friends, a huge Birthday Party and then we have the Rugby Super 14 Finals on Saturday too (Wayne's Bull's are in the final and the only SA team to make it)-  not tooo sure how well I'm going to be with that one though!LOL .  But knowing this lot like I do- it's a game we are not going to MISS!

Here is a pic from last years Super 14 games and you can see Deon and Nathan(the Sharks) support different teams  to Wayne (the Bulls). It causes HUGE rivalry here and is always great fun.

OMG_ I just realised HOW big Nathan has grown since this time last year! He is now taller than both Deon and Wayne-SCARY!!

I remembered someone asking what my *fancy SA supporters Hat looked like* that I took to the cricket not so long ago-

well I decided to show you what FANATICS we South Africans are about our sport and my hat of course -LOL

a win and a loss

So much for that QUIET weekend I had said we were going to have-lol. Friday was quiet due to Wayne only arriving home late from his business trip- but oh dear Lordy, we sure made up for it the rest of the weekend!

Saturday was RUGBY day! You know how fanatical we South Africans are about our rugby right??  NO??- , well let me just say it's almost a religion here! - Yeah well, Wayne's team *the Bulls* were the last SA team left fighting for the Super 14 title! They played the semi final on Saturday and WON! hahaha- So I had to shout for them as I didn't want the New Zealand team to win! We landed up at our local Sports Bar, which was so packed you couldn't move! But what fun! Everyone's a stranger when you walk in- and as the team starting scoring and the game was underway- you are everyone's best friend!  The man sitting in front of me turned around during the match to shake my hand due to my shouting- BWAHAHAHAHA. And of COURSE I was hoarse as hell on Sunday!

The funniest was coming home and hubby decides he wants toast! ( uhum, that's to try and put something else in his stomach besides tequila-hahaha). OMG, the man takes out a SOUP Bowl instead of a side plate after nearly pulling out the whole cupboard! lol, - so I see this while locking up the house- and say I will get him a side plate  - "this is a plate" -silly grin on his face ,mmmmmmmmmmmm- if you say so OK- lol

Until he try's to BUTTER that toast on his *plate*- I collapsed with laughter as the toast kept buckling into the bowl! Not being that *stable* sort of left him chasing that piece of toast around the bowl instead of trying to take it out!. He eventually turned around in fits of giggles himself and delightfully smeared me with the butter he couldn't get on the toast! lol

FOOD FIGHT! hahahahaha- I came off second best due to my laughing - I had cheese spread in my hair and face- in my ears, butter on my arms. And well Wayne grabbed his bowl and headed *bumping* down the passage with his silly grin and half buttered toast- lol.

He wasn't giggling that much yesterday morning though- heard a lot more moaning! hahahahaha.

We sat and watched the IPL T20 cricket finals too yesterday as my chosen team made the semi-finals, but they  lost to the Decan Chargers who were the stronger team on the day . We had a great closing show/ceremony so it wasn't a total loss ;-)

Phew- Monday Yaks again-lol
