PIECES OF ME

My totally gorgeous and wonderfully talented friend Mary http://mbennetts.blogspot.com.au/ made this stunning canvas for me as a chrissy present.  This was the first one that she made like this ever and omg did she do an amazing job, I was totally blown away by the detail, colours and title. She used lots of gorgeous pps, napkins, gesso and created something that is so wonderful and orginal that I will cherish it (and her friendship) for always. Love you Mary, hugs xo

I am very fortunate that from a bad situation something very positive came out of it and that was that i finally have a designated room for my craft. It had been in the kitchen, then the lounge and wherever else i could fit in. As i don't have a very bit house lot's of stuff laying around really doesn't help with the creativity. Now I have a room that is all mine, it has nothing but all my craft products in it, a comfy lounge, tv and stereo (birthday pressies from my brother) but as you all would relate to, never enough storage space. Having the desk in front of the window gives me so much gorgeous natural light to work with, and a nice view out (well put those pics up further down) plus it doesn't take up precious wall space.
