<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Miss Nooh is so chuffed to have her portrait back home! Wasn't keen on having it out there ... it didn't make the top 40 ... hopefully get to try again in 2014! <a href="http://www.visi.co.za/content/article/2375/nude-wins-sas-first-national-portrait-award" target="_blank">VISI</a> (love this mag) did <a href="http://www.visi.co.za/content/article/2375/nude-wins-sas-first-national-portrait-award" target="_blank">this</a> editorial on the competition and the winner ... happy reading!</span></div>

loving painting portraits ... really challenging ... Miss Nooh (pronounced same as Pooh) my baby girl is the inspiration. The Gallery in Riebeek Kasteel is host to the portrait exhibition by local artists ... idea gallery owner Astrid came up with for this years <a href="http://www.riebeekvalley.info/" target="_blank">Olive Festival</a> </div>
<br />
You are the first to "SEE" ... portraits named "I see u", "I see that", "I see" and "See" ...<br />

<br />
This blog and Pinterest is my Internet Diary - my ID - its what I identify with and so cool that it can be shared!
<br />
I am so loving PALLET's ... just wished they were more accessible. These are my favourite up-cycling or re-cycling projects. Each photo links back to Pinterest were you can check their original origin on the net ...

The plan is to visit Greece sometime this year! I was not thinking of Greece at alI but looking for photo's to pin and remembered seeing some photos a while back by photographer <a href="http://www.fotofactory.co.za/site/fotofactorygalleryzoom.asp?dealer=5560&showcat=666" target="_blank">Gerda Genis</a> who I posted about after coming across this photo and others in the Taste magazine ...</span></div>

this blog <a href="http://arollingcrone.blogspot.com/2011/07/house-in-greek-village.html" target="_blank">A Rolling Crone</a> and along with it the memories. I got to read a bit about Eleni in 1983 in a Readers Digest - the book was not available in South Africa yet. Eleni Gatzoyiannis was executed, at the age of 41, by a firing squad of Communist guerrillas because she had managed to get four of her five children led out of their little village called Lia. Her son Nicholas Gage wrote their amazing story. I was pregnant at the time and completely convinced I was having a girl and her name would be Lia. Eleni is a sad but inspiring story and monument to an amazing women.</span></div>

December and I am hoping to finally visit Greece, especially the village of
Lia. Thanks to Joan Gage for the update even if I only got to it nearly 2 years later!

My daughter on her way to catch mom up on the updated Pastel! Having a technology overload including <a href="http://www.bizxnet.co.za/" target="_blank">Social Media</a> workshop 2 weeks ago which was absolutely fabulous. Getting the brain part functioning with technology & equipment then the equipment either leaves or gets temperamental! Something for my wish list - a new slab roller! Was using a friends but alas it had to go back home to her! It was well used. Going to be a challenge to make thes coffee /tea cups without it! Have being doing it the old fashioned way which is soooooo time consuming! Thats why we have all these gadgets - to make life simpler! And .... to top it all the kiln controller decides to play up @#$%! I had a delivery of these coffee/tea cups for <a href="http://www.ilovemylaundry.co.za/" target="_blank">I ♥ MY LAUNDRY</a> today but alas no kiln. Waiting for the electrician!</span><br />

Have you ever said to yourself "one day I'm going to be in a magazine or be a famous artist or be a mom" Well one of my "one day's" has arrived! I'm absolutely mad about interior/living/home design idea magazines and <a href="http://www.sarie.com/woon/dekorstories/die-nuwe-sarie-woon-nou-op-die-rakke?mv" target="_blank">Sarie WOON</a>, which I've been collecting, is my "one day"! I got to feature in a magazine and a truly fabulous South African one at that! Check it out over <a href="http://www.sarie.com/woon/dekorstories/die-nuwe-sarie-woon-nou-op-die-rakke?mv" target="_blank">here</a> and if you can't get to the shop to buy a hard copy you can always go online and buy it from <a href="http://za.zinio.com/browse/category/parent.jsp?sort=-ranking&categoryId=cat1960032&start=17" target="_blank">Zinio</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The magazine is in Afrikaans, which is part of my home language. My dad is Afrikaans but I rarely speak it as most of my Afrikaans family & friends always chat to me in English including my dad! So I love reading the magazine as I get to practice!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anita and Lounette from Sarie suprised me completely by giving me a mention and thank you on page 5! Thank you ladies and thank you so much for featuring my village!</div>

When I visited the Sarie website and hit the translate button to read part of the article in English, it didn't translate well at all! The editorial in the front of the magazine that features me (2nd paragraph of "Hoe ons"), when translated, reads as follows; "One day we received a phone call from a reader that was looking for the first edition of Woon. She also wanted to know when the next edition was due. We were actually busy planning the next edition and she happily invited us to visit her village. And with this we want to say Thank you, Li Nepgen (pg 70). You definitely spoke the truth. There is a wealth of beautiful homes, interesting, talented and friendly people in the Riebeek Valley. And boy can you enjoy eating in that town!</div>

One of the blogs I follow and love reading is <a href="http://joannagoddard.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">A CUP OF JO</a> by Joanna Goddard and one of her recent posts titled Articles club is brilliant. Fabulous idea and just love the first article she chose which you definitely need to go and read over <a href="http://joannagoddard.blogspot.com/2011/10/articles-club.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+blogspot%2FbboSV+%28A+CUP+OF+JO%29" target="_blank">here</a> </div>

Cannot believe how time has just fast forwarded to today!!! Had Miss Nooh's 7th birthday, completed RV Tourism's second newsletter and arranging the last country fair for the year which will be held in Riebeek Kasteel on the village square the 26th November from 3pm - 7pm which will include a small opening of the holiday season by switching on the christmas lights!</div>
