“Being creative at Christmas time”

Hi everyone,

Sorry I have not blogged for a while. Big changes have happened in my life and I have shifted from Australia to New Zealand.

The shift happened for family reasons and has been a huge upheavel!

I am so lucky that I can move like this and still carry on my business as usual.

I am getting settled now and in only a week we have Christmas. This year I am having family come to stay for this special holiday. I am pretty excited and would love to have had more time to be really creative………..but I am going to do the best I can anyway.

A few years ago I designed a Christmas Angel for people to make, which would be great to hang on the Xmas tree as an ornament or even as a simple quick gift to give away. I photographed the steps needed to make her and have that available still on my website if you would like to use it. Just go to

Enjoy!

For the centerpiece on my kitchen table this Christmas Day I plan to combine Pinecones with silver glitter on with pumice I collected from the shores of a beautiful New Zealand Lake with Silver Christmas Tree balls in a platter. This sort of combination works well for us “down under” where it is summertime.

I hope you all enjoy a wonderful Christmas and do try to make time for yourself to be creative these holidays.
