Christmas Greetings!

I'd like to take this opportunity to wish you Christmas Greetings, and thank you for taking time to look at my blog.

Please don't become so busy you forget the One who we are celebrating! December 25th is the date we set aside each year to remember the birth of Jesus and to reflect on the importance of it.

May you know Him as your Saviour and Friend, and know God has a perfect plan for your life. 'tis true!

Ballet Shoe

Some one purchased this ballet shoe as soon as I finished painting it! I love it . . . and would have liked it on my shelf to enjoy for a while.

However the buyer purchased it for their little grand daughter who had just begun to learn ballet ...... I know that both the buyer and the grand daughter will appreciate it and enjoy it.

Santa Bear

This little porcelain Santa Bear was painted by myself as a gift to Dottie Cosgrove in the U.S.A. as an exchange over the Christmas period. He's cute eh?

Tauranga Porcelain Artist Assn club "Leaf Project" 2010.

This photo shows some of the plates painted by club members who participated in the Leaf Project some weeks' back. An explanation of the project is in a post just below Ellie's photograph.

It was a fun project with many designs and ways of painting the plates.

Ellie Fowler

Let me introduce you to our latest Great Grand

Daughter, Ellie Fowler. She was born 8 days ago and weighed only 6lb 30z so she is a tiny! Tiny and beautiful.

Her sister Sarah Jane (2 yrs 4 months) and her brother Jakob (14 months) think Ellie is wonderful and want to touch and kiss her all the time.

Leaf Project

Recently at our club, we had a project to make a disign from leaves people had picked out of their garden. We then transferred the design to an 8" plate and painted it using lustres, metallics and paint. There were a number of china painting products we could use . . . ie . . . chipping off powder, enamel, texture paste and gold.

This was my plate. And of course I loved exercising the brain to design and paint it. But I would rather paint roses!!

Pretty little dish

I painted this 4" dish last week for fun!

I like to have a few little things on hand for "thank you's" ......
