New pretties



Well now that all the festivities are over for another year I have a nice little quite break to reflect on some new projects. I love the colours associated with Valentines Day shades of pinks reds and fancy pretty ladies. Here is a little sneak peek at some charms I am working on this week with those pretty colours in mind. I searched high and low for beautiful images to share with you, the french 18 th century ladies are difficult to come by. Well Happy New Years to all my reader friends! I plan to stay in and order take out and put my feet up!

Yule Blessings







On December 21 many of us celebrate Yuletide, it is a custom from the old religion that falls on the first day of winter. The celebration is really the change of seasons from the dying of the old year that falls on Halloween to the rebirth of the new year symbolized by the deep sleep through winter, to the birth of a new season in spring. This is the religion of nature.
I took a few pictures of my tree and mantel decorated for Christmas, my cat Patches is in the window waiting for Santa! I also noticed a few missing ornaments from the bottom of my tree, maybe the innocent rag doll took them, or the snow fairy.
Bright Blessings to you and yours!

Cat in a Basket


I have heard of "chicken in a basket" but well here is a new one Cat in a basket, and a really small basket at that! I have a little basket on my kitchen counter for napkins and my little guy Ming found his way up there, he will spend his whole day roaming around looking for a warm spot, I guess he was getting some heat from the nightlight I left on. It kinda startled me when I went to the sink and out of the corner of my eye I saw movement! Siamese cats are such great fun they get into all sorts of predicaments, my guy has been locked in numerous cupboards drawers gymbags ect, to name a few, but he will sure let you know when he needs out! They have a distinct vocal ability, sometimes at 3 in the morning. Some people mistake them for a baby crying! He has been having fun with his first Christmas tree, most of the lower half of my tree is stripped and he will start a hockey game in the living room usually at 3 in the morning!

Let It Snow


Well it snowed all day yesterday, nice pretty falling snow with now winds. It reminded me of the movie Narina while Lucy walked through the wardrobe into the winter wonderland of snow swirling around the lamp post. I worked in the studio today filling some last pre Christmas orders, had some time to take a peek at this wonderful site www.greengate.dk lots of yummy things to drool over. Like this picture at the front of the magazine, love those candle holders.
Well back to work, I will be listing some pretty new lady journals and glass charms over the Christmas break, these will be a bit Valentine looking so watch for them.
