Getting Creative..

What a lovely long weekend it has been! I must admit I do love a nation that takes the day off for a horse race and although I spent the day creating, gardening and baking, I did stop for the big race, discarding my gardening gloves for a sweet little hat. I do adore the beautiful dresses and hats and would one day love to make the trip to Melbourne for the races.

Over the weekend I popped into Spotlight for to pick up some bits and pieces including the latest Get Creative magazine.

I was very excited to open it in the middle of the shop to see a wee picture of myself and some of my Christmas creations. A few months ago the delightful editor Jacquie asked me to be involved in an article about Christmas traditions and its so lovely to be featured along with some fabulous creatives Jenny Hart and Nicole Tattersall.

The lovely little article..

I just love creating for Christmas, wrapping accessories, cards, gifts and decorations, it's just the perfect time to give handmade. This year I'm loving beautiful bright colours, cherry red, aqua blue and gorgeous 1950's green. Here is a sneak peek at some festive bits and pieces I've been working on for me Etsy shop.

A little brooch inspired wrapping accessory, I'm just adoring the red and white stripe ribbon and the fact that the recipient can wear their little accessory once the present has been unwrapped.

I've also been working on some sweet little apple inspired Christmas tree decorations. These will be available in my little Etsy shop very soon and I'm looking forward to offering custom decorations so you can choose the colours and text.

Wishing you a lovely Tuesday, enjoy your week!
Much Love
