My Creative Space today...a cape for a wizard...

My creative space recently has seen me doing something a little bit unusual...
I had lots of fun making up this wizard's cape for a kindy fundraiser : )  Made it with a bit of mystery but also to be fun so as not to be too scary! 

All upcycled materials, except for the new ric rac!   Everybody enjoyed wearing it, its swirls and swishes so nicely and is so colourful.  We had a couple of requests from people who want one!  Great fun!

Where is your creativity leading you today?  Would love to read about it...to join in 'My Creative Space', and view others Creativity, pop over to  Kootoyoo's blog on Thursdays.

My Creative Space today...So, I started...

The first step my first 'painting'...as a 'grown-up'... the concept from within - self expression...

The second step...how do I draw these things... Practising...shapes, colours, drawing...

The third step...paint on paper...colour (bright & beautiful) guided from within...fun

My painting partner tries acrylics for the first time... wow... 'The girl come's to life'...

Next...a spot of fresh flower arranging to inspire my stitching space...cream Camellia's...mmmm

A skirt to work together...on it's way to Hong Kong - exciting...fun...

Collaging with fabric flowers & fine motor skill development...whilst I stitch...

And time also for a spot of ballon art with my Jnr companion - filled with food colouring,

leave for a few days and enjoy the pattern that arrives...her idea...

Do you ever wonder where they get their great ideas?

Finally, a spot of cleaning...'Zen and the Art of Fireplace Maintenance'...

cleaning as meditation, time to practice quality in our tasks and to admire beauty - where you may not expect it...

Thanks for reading, and your help to get me started on my 'painting' forever grateful to you...

Starting on a new(ish) journey...exciting...

Junk Love, Wednesday 'A place to sit'

Hello and here's to another fun day of "Junk Love".  Looking forward to browsing around at all the good finds...

My little piece to share with you this week is a lovely chair I found at a country second hand, collectables type store, you know the ones.  Jam packed with heaps of interesting things.  Browse for hours kind of place.

This lovely chair is a great addition to our dining table when we have extra guests, and is also a lovely piece in our wide hallway : )  I *love* the pretty back, that comfy seat, those legs and the upholstery! I look forward to recovering it when the time arises. 

What have you to share this week?

If you like upcycling, recycling, 2nd hand 'junk' ...Pop over to Emmaroseart to join the 'Junk List' and share your 'Junk' story, every Wednesday

Happy days

Circle of Friends Award

After being absent from my blog for a little while I am so rewarded to return to find the talented and creative Emmaroseart has bestowed this lovely award upon me and four other of her 'blogger' friends. Thank you so much, I am honoured to receive it! (This post was written a little while back and I am only just getting back to finish it now!)


To accept this award, I am to tell you of 5 things I love, and pass on to 5 bloggers I love.  How to limit it to five, what a wonderful opportunity for reflection, appreciation and recognition, so here we go...

Things I *love* -
1. Family - hubbie, my siblings & their partners, ma and pa and my three little pearls, my daughters...
2. The sunny, bright blue sky and the breeze in my hair (especially good if it has the sea-scent upon it)
3. Beauty, found in lots of little things and places - not just the obvious...
4. Nature's bounty - Bird's, flowers, butterflies, big trees, waterfalls - so many wonderful things in nature that give me a natural high!
5. The Arts  - in all it's forms, music, visual, and my own inspiration and expression of it... colour, texture, form...
