Painting Santas

Santa Painting is happening every day now
&
Every so often I sneak some off to have their picture taken
The cone is paper mache with old page of a book. some washi tape, a printed ribbon & one of my stars
 Making beautiful boxes, simply to give as a gift with perhaps pack of garden seeds,some delicious chocolates or cookies, soap or some of my buttons.
Add one of my scalloped edged decorations to give the gift that super gorgeous look.
See the mache cones have been used in a different way in this picture...red spots as a tree. 
Happy as they go...

Christmas Painting has already begun

 I paint orders for Christmas I would say all year, but I never sort of stop & look over my stats for this....
Once the time starts to come about that people are sewing Christmas gifts, decorations etc for Christmas.... and stores are pondering what to stock for Christmas fairs and their stores...
My time becomes absorbed in Christmas & posting deadlines.
It is such a lovely work to do....
Recently I have returned from a short holiday...
where I wandered shops, talked with friends as we walked or sat or leant on a kitchen bench watching as fingers played with a box of buttons I took with me....
One of the things I long to do is walk on the beach on the hard sand... but getting back & forth to reach hard sand nearly ripped every pelvic & leg muscle I possess..
It was kind of sad as it was another little thing I had to accept..not in my range as often now..
However the gorgeous décor stores in berry certainly made up for beach walks & as I stayed in Milton at a fabulous air bnb I had more shops to wander down to...
Now I am trying to set all into some sense without a lot of luck on my way of being very easily distracted by another idea that perhaps I should try...
Love it though !!!!
