Swimming and braai

Today saw the breaking of the "winter ice" on the swimming pool. The kids decided that it was time for a swim and took the plunge as only children can. They have been in there for almost three hours and have a slightly blue tinge, but wont be moved and they are having a ball! Where were the days that we used to do that. Come rain or shine, we would be in there like lunatics. Kids and dogs alike!  A beautiful day and we are having a braai whilst enjoying some good quality Cape wine.


This morning, I put 9 new products on the shop. It is getting busy. Started playing with the calendar to see when the courses will run. I think I will be running some "test" class. Reduced rate and feeling my way. Should be fun. This is a new thing for me but, there is a lot to share and I love working with enthousiastic and keen students. Can't wait to get started!

October - the start of sunshine!!

Hi everyone

Yes, it is October, the month when we officially start getting sunshine, or should be. Some of the areas in SA are still waiting and battling rain and hurricanes!! What's up with that??!!


Anyway, as you can guess, it is not weather that brings me here. :)  You have all seen that there are lots of new things happening here at Mosaic Workshop. We are finally taking the plunge and starting classes and throwing our humble doors open to the public. It is going to be quite a learning curve and I am sure there are going to be the odd problem or two, but then, life is like that, not so? You gotta go for it. I will be publishing the course schedule on our site next week and bookings will open online.

I also want to just mention, we are having a clearout of all Mosaic Art Now and Mosaic Yearbook stock, so now is the time to buy. Massive redution.

Hope to see some familiar faces at the classes and enjoy the fabulous weather.

Till later
