Pillow Talk

Yes Pillow Talk is happening for me creatively also. This is an example of one of my cushions (not pillows really, just sounded attention grabbing).

Arting again

Yes Arting. My son say to me......Mum are you doing your Arting again. Love that term. SO yes I am. I had a bit of a break and now zinging back into it. I also am going to be making Cushions out of Vintage blankets and necklaces of my art works. Super exciting.

Inside Christmas Tree Ideas

Too early.....nah never to early to talk and look at Inside trees. I am also doing this as I have a friend who is opening a store and I mentioned to her about this idea....inside tree not the Christmas bit. I have had these a few times in our house and they are so easy to make.

This was one of my first. Very full of Christmas Decorations and had fairy lights on it. You simply cut a branch off a tree, spay paint it the desired colour and then with expanding foam set it into a bucket. Then the fun bit happens were you get to decorate it.

The window treatment with cut out snowflakes is another great idea and easy to do. This isnt my photo but we have done the same thing in our windows at Christmas. I have also made a similar idea with white doilies. I love winter themed ideas, shame our Christmas is in summer.

Sale time

I have decided to bypass Trademe and will post soon a large amount of mainly kids clothing on this site for sale. Sizes will be from new born to size 16. I will pop something on Facebook to let you all know when I am starting. Needing the extra cash, but also would like our hallway back :-)

Christmas Cheer

I have been working on some Christmas pieces and thought I would share. Christmas makes me happy. I LOVE the craft aspect of it, The smells, the music, and the excited feelings the kids still get surrounding it. AH all I need is snow and then the Christmas lights would look magical. Not stopping me tho :-)

Hoping these will hang from the tree.

Ho Ho Ho

Mixed media canvas showing Crackle medium.

I am obsessed with Viva Croco Crackling medium. Its such easy and fun to work with. This is a canvas I worked on and started my obsession. It is so easy to paint, ink, stamp etc over and my preference is to use my Heat gun to dry it to get the lovely larger cracks...oh and Im not good at waiting for things to dry.

Your Happy Place

Whats on your Happy List. This video gave me a moment to think about the important little things that make up MY happy moments. The little things in the day that often mean so much, over and above some of the big things we expect to give us Happiness. A good reminder is sometimes needed to stop and hold onto those things that are special to us, ourselves. Those things that truly make us, us and not what someone else is about. ♥ 

This is the Video :-)
