hiking and sewing

hiking and sewing

hiking is an adventurous way of keeping fit, and my love for nature and beautiful sceneries is satisfied when l spent early Sunday hours going up rocky  mountains.

I am part of Claremont adventist church hiking club and  we hike every Sunday.

Sewing is a Hobby I enjoy a lot, l love to make beautiful home deco accessories, such as scatter cushions, table runners ,napkins ,pillows etc. l also enjoy teaching kids how to use a sewing machine and make cute doll clothes, one of my proud moments was when we made teddy bears for  a children's home in capetown.
