Sunshine and dust
So it's been sunny here the last couple of days which means you can really see the dust. I thought about doing some dusting but instead found myself re-arranging some shelves and photographing my new arrangements. I loved faffing around with these pots and vases, looking at the transparency and putting the colours together. I did clean these for the photographs (honest) so at least one corner of my house is dust free : )

Getting organised?
It's that time of year when you start thinking about getting sorted and start planning holidays and other stuff. Over on the Nostalgiecat Blog, June has been getting super organised and has made a fab. calender and blackboard organiser. She has used some of my prints I designed for Homemaker magazine last year. It's always cool to see what people feel inspired to make with your designs. Take a look here and see how she made it.

Sunny California
My work will be at the Craft and Hobby Association Show (Anaheim, California - January 10th - 14th 2014) even if I won't : ( I will just have to dream of the sunshine state. If you are at the CHA show pop along and say hi to Paul from Cinnamon Joe Studios - he is super friendly and would LOVE to meet you : ) Booth 1740 in the British Pavilion.

Bruce Monro - Winter Light
If you are up near Aylesbury in the next couple of weekends, the Bruce Monro Winter Light at Waddesdon Manor is well worth going to. The light sculptures are in the gardens of the Manor till the 1st Jan 2014. They are illuminated from 3pm so after you have visited the house you can explore the trail around the gardens as the light begins to fade. You can't really see the scale of the installations in these pics but they are BIG! Some sweep down lawns (the last pics show this) and other tower over you. They are great fun as well as visually arresting. For more info on Waddesdon Manor take a look here and for more on Bruce have a look here.
It's begining to feel alot like Christmas
Today we took a break from the manic, hecticness which is the run up to THE big day. It felt really Christmassy at Waddesdon Manor but peaceful, calm and beautiful. We went to see Winter Light by Bruce Munro (more on that tomorrow) but whilst waiting for dusk we went in the Alpine Chalet (all decked out with snow, reindeer (fake) and Christmas trees), stroked Huskies (real), visited the lovely shop, my kids loved the woodland playground and we saw the gorgeous Lord Rothschild home (unfortunately only from the outside this time - sold out ) which is like a beautiful ornate wedding cake perched in wonderful lit landscaped gardens. It was blooming cold though so hot chocolate to the rescue.
