Christmas / winter holidays at Simon Challenge Blog

Hi Everybody!

It's time for a new challenge at the

Simon Monday blog!
This is my second week as guest DT,
and I am happy to be joining the fabulous
team there!

The theme this week is Christmas / winter holidays.

One entry is chosen each week and can win a

fabulous voucher for the store.

For this week's challenge I made 

 a wreath for my door. The substrate was made with twigs from a willow tree, soaked in water to make them more pliable and then bound into a circle. ( I cut the twigs on one of my walks!)The leaves were recycled from old decorations, and sprayed with silver. I used hot glue to hold things together. I used ribbons and decorative wires to wind around it. The cherub was cast in a mold and the flowers were cut using a Tim Holtz Tattered Floral Die.

Hope to see YOU joining in the challenge!

I have some more cold and snowy Photos for you:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Snowy Saturday

Hi Everybody!

It's a freezing cold day here. We had a lot of snow in

the night, and it's been snowing more this morning,

so I've declared it to be a stay-home-and-keep-warm

day. I'm not as steady on my legs as I was a year ago, 

and I don't want to slip and hurt myself. The pics were 

taken early this morning; standing in the cold taking

photos in your pyjamas is a great way to wake

up quickly. The snow will probably be gone by

tomorrow!

I have another of my heads to share today. This is 

number 6 in this series, and probably the last one for

 the time being, but who knows? I did make quite

a lot of other ones in the course of the year, so

perhaps I will put them together to make a collage.
The quote is from Harry Potter  and the Order of
the Phoenix by J.K.Rowling:

Early morning snow:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

This and that again

Hi Everybody!

Time is flying, once again, and I don't know

where this week went. It's cold and windy today,

so I will be spending the rest of the day at

home.

For Paint Party Friday I have another of my heads

 to share. I did an updated version of my avatar -

I gave myself a new dress! The quote is from

Shakespeare's Hamlet:

 And I snapped the other side of the street with my 

smart phone camera:

Our lingerie shop:

Our little Christmas Market:

And I discovered this photo on my phone when I

was downloading the pics - I must have taken

this wonderful photo of my left foot and

blanket while polishing the screen:

 

 Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
