I Hope This Works!

Okay here we go hehe. My laptop is at the doctors and has been all week grrrr so I am using my phone to put up this post so I hope it works!! I am pretty dumb when it comes to technology so fingers crossed lol. I have managed to finish two paintings this week, well……… when I say finished I mean nearly as the sides haven’t been done yet. I’m so bad at doing that, drive myself nuts!! Especially when I have to do a heap at once………….but anyway here are the pics.

I was trying to paint in a more “free” style as I drive my self bonkers with perfect lines etc, but boy it was harder and took longer to try and get a more natural look….. phew. I think I like the results though :)

This is my next attempt. She just kind of appeared on the background. Hope everyones had a great week xx

Happy New Year – Better Late Than Never!! :)

I hope the year has started positively for all you beautiful people out there :)

My youngest daughter is still having school holidays so I am not fully into the swing of things, but I think I am heading in the right direction :)

I have started the year by sorting through all my arty crafty goodies and moving them into our spare room which is now my painting room YAY!!

And of course I had to buy myself a few new crafty goodies!!

craft supplies

Let It Snow

Well I think that might be asking too much, No snow for us here in New Zealand :( Another hot roasty Christmas for us!

I’ve managed a couple of small Christmas projects over the last week or so, this first one was in a magazine a friend of mine showed me and I thought it was cute so I gave it ago. Unfortunately I’m a bit out of practice wielding my trusty pliers :) It had to be wired together and my fingers are looking like I had a run in with a wild feline hehe.

Christmas Blocks

I also painted this little Christmas tree Angel, sorry the pic’s not the best, it’s a little mixed media piece on a 5×7″ canvas.

Christmas Tree Angel

Oh and this little 6×6″ block my Daughter asked me to paint for her to give her teacher :) the last couple of years she’s had male teachers and I have to say it makes it so much harder to paint a little pressy for them lol. Don’t think they would want a little Christmas tree Angel ;) We could have gone for the usual choc’s but that would be too easy :)
