Oh Christmas Tree !

Christmas to me is a memory of smell, and thats a real tree. 

Back in NZ where I grew up the pine and white lilies is etched forever as a happy childhood memory of Christmas.  

Not sure why I really love white on a tree but I just like to keep it simple.  

For those that know me, your thinking .. mmm ... she has a 5 year old ... {and he is a little arty I must brag}, I did let him put the first decoration on and after the photo's I will let him at it to add his handmade beauties.   

I mega-over-decorated his room as a snow cave a couple of weeks ago for a surprise so he is quite contempt to add wonderful kindy and homemade-handmades to his own room.  Next year I don't think he will let me away with it.

MADE IT SHOP

Down That Little Lane

To Market We Did ....

Balmain Markets 

Such a great day, we met some amazing market neighbours, so very welcoming  since we were the newbies ......  shared with my talented friend Karlyn who makes kids clothing from vintage tablecloths & sheets  http://www.facebook.com/marlymartha1

Now shall we do another next weekend ? ...

More Christmas & Newspaper Taxi

A couple more christmas designs available.

The street party was originally designed for my own street this year, last year we had a great time.   Funny how you can spend a whole lifetime in your house and not know the people down the street, or do I spend too much time in the house designing quirky reindeers perhaps ?

Think this is me secretly wishing I could sew a quilt.  

The Street Party

Introducing Newspaper Taxi  "We LOVE Mail competition"

I cant even remember how I came across this blog, but am grateful I did and is now on my 'Blogs I Stalk' list.  And to make it even better the owner Stef has a boutique vintage store in Newtown. Think I will be popping over for a personal visit in the next couple of weeks. 

So anyway what I wanted to share is her great giveaway of stationary. 

So, my desk is covered in packs of christmas cards, so there is a couple of packs on their way.

Hope you can join in, be quick it closes Friday the 4th November 2011.  You have gotta pop over to her blog and check out all the amazing stuff she has received.  

Personally I would have trouble letting it go, its going to be one AMAZING prize !

53 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS !

Its so exciting to see all the christmas decorations and stationary around for christmas, this year I am going to try and get through the list in my head of handmade things to make, (most of which did'nt quite make it off the drawing board from last year in time).  I have just listed some new cards and clay ornaments on my madeit shop for christmas, and will be adding some more designs in the upcoming weeks.
