The Days of Summer fly by

The days of summer here are flying by. While tales of snow and flood reach us down here in New Zealand, we have days of hot summer sun interspersed with grey days with rain tossed in to keep everything green. 

In the weeks since I last visited I have



 from South Seas Film school



went on a road trip at Christmas and missed all the holiday traffic!!





Had a blast in Auckland.



Spent Christmas with family at a farmstay cottage here. We had no internet access and I will admit I did switch off completely. We relaxed, read books, played games and watched movies.



I learned how to make these paper dresses and shared them on my favorite addiction at the moment .... Instagram. I am here


Worked in my vintage collage journal.


Got very messy with some faux metal techniques for some new books I am making.




and finally .... decided this was the year that I will get over my phobia about being in front of the camera instead of behind it.


Hello this is me - I hope you are having a fabulous 2014.

Thanks for visiting

Tattered Floral Challenge




Well, how could I resist? I love my tattered floral die. I have used it to make stamps, stencils, masks,and many styles of flowers. I may or may not have made 18 other flowers before I decided on the above creations. For the last week two things have been on my mind. One, the tattered floral challenge and the Saturday celebration of this lovely young couple of their Golden Wedding Anniversary on Saturday the 23rd of March.


When the two thoughts collided, The tattered floral challenge went golden. Soft old gold of book pages. I decided to create some decorations for the wedding celebration. Topiary centrepieces for the tables


A button hole for the bridal party


A corsage for a lady guest


And a bouquet for the Bride


As I said I may have created a few extra flowers, so there may be a part two when the competition is over!

Thanks for visiting and Thanks to Tim for such a lovely challenge and so much fun with one of my favourite dies!
