Clock!

I made this wooden clock years ago at school and its sat at my parents house since. My mum suggested I try and decorate it.. so I added the fabric, buttons and hanging heart to create this cute wee clock that now has a bit of character!

Stitched Art

 

Here is my first attempt to create pictures on my sewing machine. You need a embroidery needle and a steady hand!

Butterflies

I guess I have a little fascination with butterflies..don't see them so much living in a city so I have them hanging on my wall instead!

 

Chicken soup

Was feeling a bit poorly last week and since I was stuck in the house I decided to make this chicken door stop.. Might have taken me all day but look how cute he is!!

Was parking my car the other day and this song came on.. I didn't get out until it had finished. Beautiful lyrics.

 

Eilean Donan Castle

 Just finished this oil painting a couple days ago..its a wedding present so I hope they like it!

All that snow

 

On my first attempt to find the pond I posted below I got lost in all that snow! So I took a couple pics along the way..

A trip around the pond

 

Just before my sister left for her travels around the world..I took her for a walk around Crombie park..She was annoyed at me as she was hung over and I was taking forever trying to work my camera..Anyway here is a wee selection from our walk around the pond..

landscapes

Here is a selection of landscapes I have painted. I like to do paintings for people rather than myself. It is    special to have a picture of something meaningful and by someone who cares..

When I loved to use red paint.

 

So when I moved into my first house the carpets, curtains and wall paper were all red.. therefore I decided to co-ordinate my paintings to the decor! This way I saved money on decorating and on art work( I am the sort of person that feels a wall looks empty without a painting..) I think red and gold was fashionable back then too and they were cosy colours for a house.I discovered the fun of using gold leaf and gold glass paints. The effect I used in numerous painting until eventually I really did see red! and I discovered that other colors existed and were just as fun to use..
