Here is a piece of artwork I did for both the Monthly Creative Challenge and Take it Further Challenge - this type of bold art I do not attempt often but I thought Violette certainly gets my creative juices flowing - I am so inspired by Violette's work http://www.violettesfolkart.com/blog.html. The writing style is Violette's as is the background design.
My blog is my way of showing love of most things, in particular art and craft work. My work is quick, not pain-stakingly perfect - there is too much else going on to worry about perfection. My main blog is eclectic. My Sub-Blogs specifically show my different arts and crafts.

Christmas gift
This is a gorgeous Angel my friend (and next door neighbour) gave me for a belated Christmas gift. It's funny how things work out. I knew Julie through a spinning group years ago and then she stopped going. The next thing I realise is she has moved in next door! Now we do a lot of things together and go a lot of places. She's a wonderful friend.

Gorgeous Gift
I have just returned from holidays and received this gorgeous calendar from a dear friend as a gift. She participated in an ATC calendar swap and made two of these, of which she sent me one.
I have scanned November, the ATC is made by her.
Thank you Leschelle - I love it! xx

Wedding horseshoe
Here is a wedding horseshoe I made for DD's school teacher from 2007 AND 2008! It is Torchon lace and took only two half days to make - we hope to go to the wedding this Friday.
All the best Miss McC!
