Coffee Time

This page is dedicated to my family and friends who share the same spirits, love and energy with me toward crafts. Friends whom I met and crossed paths in the walk of my life, hopping from one continent to another in pursuit of happiness.  Hehe... Nah, we are just doing what has been our destiny from above. I will start from the current country we are living.

Lagos
Arrived March 2012

Here in Lagos, we are about 12 women from many different nationalities get together once a week to do crochet, chat, eat, coffee, tea and get updates on each other's life at home away from home. We do not know how long we will stay together in Lagos as our movement is very much depends on where next the company assigns our husbands. Some of us new to the International exposure, some have already been living out of suitcase for a long time. Some of us give birth in our country of assignments, some go back home to deliver the baby... But one thing that has not change is no matter where we live, our family is those who are close to our heart wherever we stay and live and right now that is in Lagos, Nigeria.
