A week full of good food, photography, new projects, good company, favorite handouts and road trips.<br />

<br />
It's been a good week. I am enjoying my 365 Project. Busy with work, enjoying the warm weather in Cape Town and have hopelessly failed at my let's- do-the -blogging -thing -again endeavour. I should mention that I have some internet connection problems, hence my plan got sidetracked. Still I have hope.<br />
How was your week?Denizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09189998954966111460noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8367664629817360398.post-52884626555497387522015-01-07T16:37:00.001+02:002015-01-07T16:37:34.539+02:00InspirationsIt all started with this...<br />

A bit of dried up husk from a corn cob...<br />

There are actually two reasons for this:<br />
In the last two years things shifted in my professional and personal life, and left me with very little time to be creative. The other reason, I haven't had a properly functioning camera for nearly 2years. Which is beyond frustrating and meant very little photographing happened, except on my iPhone.<br />
I've been however reading just as much as always... and am still part of the <a href="http://closetgeekbooks.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Closet Geeks.</a><br />
So a few weeks back I kinda decided to start <a href="http://nomadsdwellings.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Nomad's Dwellings</a>- where I will share recipes and other food stuff, all about travelling and my street photography. Basically a lifestyle blog. In fact I've been asked to share recipes and travel tips for many years, but somehow never was sure if I wanted to do it.<br />
Since I am going spend more time in my studio in 2015, so I thought I should resurrect my good oldie blog.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I have decided to do another <a href="http://denizyildiz.vsco.co/journal/365" target="_blank">365</a> this year, on my iPhone. I shall share them every Mondays, cause the Review of my Week is back.<br />
<br />

<br />
I was given this beautiful<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/people/denizyildiz/stash/spaghetti-aran" target="_blank"> yarn </a>by my friend A.<br />
She saw it and thought of me. It's by my favorite <a href="http://www.nurturingfibres.co.za/" target="_blank">yarnie</a>... (which she did unwittingly) and its grey! sigh! <br />
Well, she does know me very well. :)<br />
<br />
It is kinda too hot for me to knit at the moment, but I am browsing patterns instead and planning what I will do with 500m of this gorgeousness... one of my favorite things about knitting. At this point in time I am thinking a cowl.. any ideas or suggestions?<br />

<br />
I have a thing for scaffolding- which is by now public knowledge- and pretty ugly things. You know when its so ugly its cool again? Especially if it's architecture. I kinda love these two buildings - their total lack of beauty make me wonder what was the architect thinking... But the utter ugly structure transforms into a really pretty pattern... which I kinda dig. Guess that makes me kinda weird? Or I unwittingly got what the architecture was trying to achieve?<br />
Nah, I rather stick with being kinda weird<br />
<br />
<br />Happy weekend!<br />

When I saw <a href="http://alisaburke.blogspot.com/2012/12/handmade-calendarplanner.html" target="_blank">the planner</a> <a href="http://alisaburke.blogspot.com/">Alisa</a> did, I was totally inspired to do my own.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25996687@N03/8366048234/" title="Untitled by denizyildiz, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="334" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8053/8366048234_96c5df60dc.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
So I took an old folder<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25996687@N03/8366046948/" title="Untitled by denizyildiz, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8362/8366046948_d6b5a623a8.jpg" width="334" /></a></div>
<br />
divided it up<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25996687@N03/8366046202/" title="Untitled by denizyildiz, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="334" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8214/8366046202_87d02a3a90.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
made monthly diary pages<br />
<br />

<br />
added a section for notes<br />
a space where I jot down ideas for blogging<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25996687@N03/8364977333/" title="Untitled by denizyildiz, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="334" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8471/8364977333_483626ffaf.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
a place to keep photos, <br />
an address section and some nice sketch paper<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25996687@N03/8366052018/" title="Untitled by denizyildiz, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="334" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8085/8366052018_d56abc8a56.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
space and place for everything!</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25996687@N03/8357991563/" title="review of 2012 by denizyildiz, on Flickr"><img alt="review of 2012" height="640" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8336/8357991563_519a6b4122_z.jpg" width="428" /></a></div>
<br />
2012, I am afraid to say was really not my year. In many ways it was rather a difficult year. Around here I have been a total slacker last year. I am however hoping to do better in 2013- and not just as a blogger.<br />
<br />
Despite many obstacles there have been plenty of <b>good moments in 2012</b>! Which is what I wanna keep in mind.<br />
One of the greatest <b>gifts</b> in 2012 was an e-reader. It changed my reading life! Gone are my long quests and waits of finding certain books in Cape Town. Because let's face it I do live at the end of the world- a great end it might be, but when it comes to books, not that fab. One click and a couple of minutes later I can read a newly released book. Tuesdays have become great days! I've been writing a <a href="http://closetgeekbooks.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">book blog</a> for the last few months. 2012 has been an interesting journey through <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/8552841-deniz?read_at=2012" target="_blank">150 books</a>...<br />
My last <b>travel adventure</b> in 2012 was to the oldest desert in the world. It's been an amazing trip and I will spill the beans over at <a href="http://nomadesdwellings.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Nomade's dwelling</a> in the next few days. Naturally I took hudreds of photos...<br />
At some point I felt a bit stuck with my <b><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25996687@N03/" target="_blank">photography</a> </b>in 2012. I did get a second hand DSLR, finally. Which changed my entire photo experience. I did finish my 52 project and am pondering if I should do one for this year as well, just keep the blog and keep posting?<br />
This was also the year I tried my hand in porcelain. It has been a challenging but increadibly interessting journey. One of the least forgiving but most rewarding mediums I ever worked with.<br />
<br />
I kept not one single <b>New Years resolution </b>in 2012- so I made just one <b>this year</b>:<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Naturally I do have a few projects <span style="font-size: small;">lined up, <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">as well</span></span></span> </span></span><br />

Some snaps taken over the last few weeks. I'm enjoying the light the fair cape is sporting these days and love watching the Capetonians relax while enjoying the wonderful weather... Hello Summer!<br />

It's Daisy time in the Western Cape, also known as spring in other areas of the world.<br />
So I am snapping and sketching the living carpets of colour and gorgeousness as often as I manage to. (oh and yes: this is a warning! lots of flowers are gonna make its way round here in the next couple of weeks)Denizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09189998954966111460noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8367664629817360398.post-35619871934265935162012-09-18T00:13:00.000+02:002012-09-18T00:13:00.716+02:00Review of my week<br />

<br />
It was a week of research and edits. Intermingled with flu and the decision to make it a 3day weekend. <br />
For some reason also managed to carry round a camera with an empty battery for most of the week. And when I finally remembered to charge it, i forgot to put it back into to the camera i still was holing around... I am not sure if it was tragic or comical, when it took me more than 5 minutes to figure out why my camera wasn't working, panic attack and all....<br />
Spring is upon the Cape and the light is fabulous for snaps. The whole place is screeming pretty and happy at this moment. LOTS of flowers around and many happy faces!<br />
Now that I managed to charge the camera battery and actually put it back into the camera I might manage to take more snaps this week.<br />

The thing about being MIA, I got not many excuses. Well, actually I have a whole list of them. But honestly, they all not totally valid. Truth is I have had absolutely no blogging mojo. Yes, I have been extremly busy, rather sick most of August and I have been re-shuffling things. BUT I have been there before. I was truthfully contemplating to actually call it a day, consider to take leave of this space... After going through a few weeks of doubting my exsitence of talent in the artisan field, I came up with the conclusion, well I am not THAT talented, which isnt news to me. I am a jack of all trades, again no news. BUT I AM OK WITH THAT. Because I really enjoy it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So here i am again, after I having decided to go on with my musings. </div>

I have re-shuffled things a bit. Trying to bring more clarity to my jack of all trades situation... so bare with me. I am going to be done hopefully by next Monday. <i>*and this time its for real!*</i></div>

For the next month I am concentrating on my porcelain project. So, many more wonky bowl and plant paintings will be featuring round here in the near future. It also means more broke pieces, endless hours of painting, more research into glazes and oxides and more experimenting. I am really excited to go on with my porcelain discovery journey.<br />

I wasn't feeling like knitting any of my unfinished projects. But when you got <a href="http://latelierivedi.blogspot.com/2012/07/my-creative-space_11.html" target="_blank">two</a> <a href="http://latelierivedi.blogspot.com/2012/07/my-creative-space.html" target="_blank">shawls</a> and a <a href="http://latelierivedi.blogspot.com/2012/02/xxiv.html" target="_blank">sockyarn-blanket</a> on the go, casting on another knitting project might be a bad idea.<br />
So I thought, very clever as I am, why not start a crochet project?!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25996687@N03/7599231020/" title="Untitled by denizyildiz, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8006/7599231020_346ffbb584.jpg" width="334" /></a></div>
<br />
So shortly after digging through my leftover yarns I happily started a new <a href="http://ravel.me/denizyildiz/cgsp5" target="_blank">granny-square-blanket</a>. <br />

<i>Ugly prettiness in Switzerland</i></div>
<br />
<br />
I have a thing for industrial things, like I really love cranes and scaffolding... I can't explain why exactly. Maybe it's the engineer in me, maybe it because one can find pretty in the ugly. I really don't know, I do suspect it's a bit weird. All I know; I just do.<br />

It's all back to business as usual for me. I have been doing lots of sorting out, editing and preps. Am shuffling the blog around a bit, trying to work out how to accommodate my jack of all trades persona. And with that I will hopefully blog more constantly again. Give me a week or so.<br />
It's a terribly cold winter in Cape Town and I still rather would be gallivanting round the northern hemisphere than being home. And then every now and then I get reminded why I love it here, like when the sun set in the most spectacular way the other day.<br />
How has your week been?<br />

<b><span style="font-size: small;">Book Blurb:</span></b><br />
<i><span id="freeText13078393130518303088">When her home is attacked by murderous vampires, 17-year-old Alexa is forced to leave her mother for dead in order to save her sister. She soon learns that she is the last known member of an elite race of supernatural Warriors, and is thrust into a world full of vampires and werewolves who all seem to regard her as some sort of savior. Meanwhile, Alexa battles a monster within herself that seeks to gain control; a monster that seeks blood.<br />
<br />
The hidden city she finds herself in appears perfect, but Alexa's instincts tell her that all is not right within its walls. When she is asked to attend a school of fighters, whose exams consist of gladiator-style competitions, she must decide who she can trust among the smiling faces. And, when she meets Kayden, a vampire she feels undeniably drawn to, she must decide if she can trust herself.</span></i><br />

<b>Review:</b><br />
I discovered the book through <a href="http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/156151" target="_blank"> Dark Muse: An Indie Paranormal Sampler </a> and after reading the first few chapter of the story I decided, that I would like to read the rest of the book.<br />
<br />
This is Gordon's debut novel. She is a new Indie Author from the US. Find out more about her and her books on her <a href="http://hdgordon.com/" target="_blank">webstite</a>.<br />
<br />
The story is about Alexa, a girl who is aware of her strange up bringing. but suddenly one night she and her family get attacked by vicious monsters, which makes her find out who she and her sister really are.<br />
with her friend jack the flee and discover a heaven for people like them called two rivers. but soon Alexa feels that something is off with the too perfect place.<br />
<br />
I really enjoyed Gordon's storytelling. Though I have to admit about a quarter in I thought, oh its that typical paranormal stuff... and then the story started taking different twists and turns and left me gasping at the end! <br />
<br />
I liked most of the characters, though Alexa, the narrator was often a tumble of emotions, and her feelings and behaviors towards jack and Kayden left me a bit exasperated. she could spend the night at Kayden and thought that was totally normal, despite the fact that she is seeing jack? <br />
I personally would like her to get Kayden to open up. they seem to belong together. and that's just one unresolved situation i am fretting about after reading the book<br />
<br />
I liked Kayden.He is somewhat up tight but he genuinely wants to do whats right, he is loyal and protective. but sadly very tight lipped. <br />
Jack is the sweet darling, best friend, always there as well. but something about him just makes me not trust him. Like how he knows where Alexa was and that she visited the Queen. He is a great contrast to Kayden and somehow sets off the whole triangle in a more interesting light. Not that I am a lover of love triangles. But yes there is one and a rather frustrating one at that.<br />
And i am not sure what Tommy was all about...<br />
<br />
Nelly, is a so-called Searcher with her own secret. She is Alexa's greatest support and the sweetness and softness in Alexa's life. The trust and the relationship between the sisters is beautiful.<br />
<br />
There were many other characters but I found it scatter the aim a bit. so many different beings so many characters. I do hope that the next book will bring everything together and to the point.<br />
which is the main reason i gave it 3.5 rather than 4 stars.<br />
All in all I enjoyed the book. and am looking forward to more prose from Gordon.Denizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09189998954966111460noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8367664629817360398.post-11759932733719314892012-07-12T18:42:00.002+02:002012-07-12T18:44:25.712+02:00Photography<br />

<b>Summary:</b><br />
<i>Red pain, Red desire, Red need, Red hunger…</i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
<i>I have been plagued by the same dream for months now. A nightmare filled with red, dripping with death, where I am the hunter. There is no escape, no end in sight…. The nightmare has become a reality and I am forced with a choice – I can become one with the darkness that lives within that is clamoring, clawing to escape, or I can bury the demon, and the nightmares, once and for all.</i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
<i>It may seem like an easy choice, but not when I also have to choose between the father who has raised me or a mother whom I have thought was dead. Not when the choice is my humanity or Immortality….</i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
<i>Aided by a dark mysterious stranger, a hidden world is opened up to Adelin - a world full of bloodlust and death - the Black world of Immortals. Torn between the two, she faces the hardest decision she's ever had to make. Will she choose the safe, familiar life she has always known? Or will she let the darkness consume her?</i><br />
<br />

<br />
This is Gilbert's Debut Novel. Jessa lives in southeastern Iowa and has aspired to write a novel since the age of nine. Now she is a mother of 3 and I think she is incredibly talented and am looking forward to not only reading this novel but also many more! <br />
The book will be released in August on Amazon in Kindle Format, but she has published teasers and the entire first chapter on her <a href="http://www.jessagilbertbooks.com/index.html" target="_blank">blog</a>.<br />
