Is this not the most mesmerizing flower you have ever seen?

Stay Magical,

Hello all!
I hope you all had a safe and happy new year! Its 2011 already!? gosh!! To start off 2011 or more so to end 2010 I thought I would paint..


Edgar Degas is one of my favourite artists and is who inspired this painting. I love impressionism and I am really inspired by it so I really enjoyed painting something other than portraits. The actual photo that I painted off is not my own, it was stored on my computer for awhile in a folder called ‘inspiring’ so I no longer know its original online whereabouts… hmm I must look. Also, i’ve been thinking of ideas for a next painting but would like some suggestions! Any ideas?

Well I hope you have a lovely week,
Claudia

So today I attempted a gingerbread house.. it was my first attempt ever and I have to say, I’m quite pleased with the result despite my front wall cracking and eventually breaking.. so I had to fix that to keep everything up. I could decorate gingerbread houses all day, its putting them together I would get someone else to do ; )

Don’t you just want to take a nap on my roof? It does look quite comfy with all those marshmallows!

Well have a lovely day everyone,
Claudia

Oh gosh .. I do feel quite guilty for not blogging for so long!!! Can you believe that 2010 is almost over? I certainly can’t!! Well Christmas is just around the corner and so naturally, my posts leading up to Christmas will be holiday related! I have never made a gingerbread house before, and so before I attempt one tomorrow I have been doing a little research and have come across some rather great ideas! but this I must say, this was the cutest of them all.

It may not be a ‘gingerbread’ house.. but this house is certainly very sweet. I found the Christmas biscuit house on Taste. A great website full of unique and tasty recipes that are sure to make your mouth water! Go on give the little house a go ; )

Have  a jolly day,
Claudia

Its been a while since I have blogged so here is a quick sketch book update : )  Im not sure where the photos for these drawings came from, I collect photos all the time and I often loose track of where they originally came from.. Well these are my drawings based on some photos in my “Pictures to draw” folder : ) hehe

Hope you have had a magical week and I wish you a lovely weekend : )
