art collage …

Well it’s been a while since I’ve felt creative enough to make something. This collage was started months ago .. with all the bits and pieces waiting patiently .. and I finally finished. These colours have been very appealing lately .. even creeping into my wardrobe!

the gift giving continues …

Last weekend the kids were invited to two birthday parties … Olivia turned 12 … and received this handmade journal …

And Jamie went to Luke’s Under the Sea themed party .. the invitation included sand and shells .. so I thought an Underwater Canvas was needed!

The party host did an amazing job with all the decorations! Although I have to say that I was surprised when Jamie was given a fish to take home instead of the usual lolly bag .. his name is Mr Goldberg!

T is for Tyson …

Jamie (4) was recently invited to his first birthday party. So very exciting!! His first thought was “What should we make for Tyson … how about a “t” for Tyson.”

This comment made me so happy .. and who am I to disappoint my 4 year old. So off to Spotlight to find a “T” … and I found this Papier maché letter – perfect!

a gift for jakson ..

I tend to struggle a bit with gifts for boys .. the last one I made I didn’t photograph because I wasn’t so sure about it. Of course now the memory of it has improved and I like it a lot better. Too bad I can’t share …

So when Matthew was invited to Jakson’s birthday party I knew I was ready for the challenge. I had a “J” made from mdf (for Jamie .. but it never got started) and made the following canvas .. I really like the end result … and it was so nice to receive gratitude from Jakson’s mum after the party.

grace turns 10 …

My daughter Grace turned 10 last week … and I still can’t believe how quickly a decade can pass by!

It was a very exciting birthday because there are certain privileges that a 10 year girl in our family can now enjoy.

Privilege # 1 – getting ears pierced – check!
Privilege # 2 – having a mobile phone – check!
Privilege # 3 – drinking a cup of tea – check!
Privilege # 4 – slumber party – check!

Here she is talking to my Mum on her new iPhone … one very happy girl!

And a birthday wouldn’t be complete without some artwork from Mum … I came up with 10 words that are encouraging and inspiring … each one also has it’s dictionary definition in the petal.

gift giving …

Lately there has been a lot of gift giving … which means I’ve been busy in the studio …

I love giving handmade gifts … I’ve been doing it a very long time!

This fabric notebook was for my Aunt who recently celebrated her 60th birthday!

And a lovely card to go with it!

And this little canvas was for a 6 year old princess who had a wonderful disco party.
