Abundance Overflowing

I awake every morning to the same sound of pitter patter feet and the words 'bot bot' thrust in my ears, no good morning mummies in this house.  We go walking on the cooler mornings and look for spider webs along the fences, so perfect for a moment, gone by mid day.  I think I used to hold onto my creations too hard.  The exhibition I have put on this week means I have to let go of the things I loved creating.  If I think too hard I nearly cry but they have to go and make others happy.  So that is where i have been for weeks, getting an exhibition ready and now manning it till Thursday where I will pack up the remaining pieces and bring them home to be on etsy.  Im so sorry to everyone who has felt that I have dropped off the face of the earth, but Im still here and will be back in full force next week!...Surely something else has been happening!!... 

A beautiful friend brought me my first 'Vanessa Valencia' piece for xmas, I have just got it back from the framers and I love it, the frame cost the same as a fortnights groceries but thats ok hehe

We found beautiful delicate creatures running around the yard.

and there was even a treasure in that new letterbox....

It was a gift from Christina over at 'A Mermaid In The Attic'. 

I won here OWOH giveaway and I couldnt be more happy, here is what I recieved...  A beautifully wrapped package eewww..

and inside was yet another beautifully wrapped package....

made of fabric fibres and threads....

I unwound the wool spun thread...

and opened up to find a beautiful feather stitched to the cover page....

Its a book!!....

so beautiful and creative and drawn with the utmost care,  Thankyou Christina, i will post again when I make the special frame box it will be displayed in.

The way this prize relates to me is amazing to both of us, Christina never wrote the book with me in mind,but it just turns out that a Raven girl with long hair whose favorite colours are purple and pink won it, and even stranger is that inside the wrapping paper were these stamps and India is the name of my little munchkin.

The universe is strange and wonderful every day...

I cant help but think that I have received so much already from OWOH...ohh bless...

Now Im not going to put up artwork pictures because that would take me forever but here are a few opening night pics.  I had two American WWOOFERS come to help me and we made the most amazing food for the night, Black Ganache Cherries, they looked stunning...

and almond biscuits were amongst the treats, all  the food was gold leafed to go with my paintings, it was perfect.....

so here are some opening night photos....

It was a great night with alot of sales but I cant wait to get the rest up on etsy so you can all have a little piece of me in your homes around the world.

Friday is Etsy day for those interested...

and these are pics from my second lamp "The Secret Garden"  I will put pics of it up on the next post, a little let there be light 2!!

Thankyou for your paitence with my absence, I will be back with a vengence because I miss you all so much

Happy March Peoples!  WOW time flies!
