There seem to be a lot of parties this year … and I can’t resist the urge to give handmade gifts … this canvas is for a lovely 12 year old named Georgia.

Georgia’s favourite colour is Aqua and mine is Orange .. totally loving the combination!

grace turns 10 …

Posted by craftnetworktv in canvas creations, craft, wall art, word art on May 19, 2011

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 …

Posted by craftnetworktv in canvas creations, craft, mixed media, notebook, wall art on May 17, 2011

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.

I have put all my ladies together on the wall … I’m still trying to decide if I like them … but I do know that I’ve enjoyed the process. I have another in the works too … perhaps she’ll turn out a bit better!
