Home made Mince Pies fresh from the oven
I start preparing for Christmas weeks in advance. I usually make everything from scratch including my own mince meat for my favourite mince pie recipe. When I was tiny my stepmother always told me that unless you loved who you were cooking for the results would be disappointing. I adore my family and friends and I know I am very loved. So each minute creating in my kitchen will see me imagining my family and friends enjoying what I have made for them.
All of my life,whatever I do I always put my my heart and soul into it. Especially when it comes to working in watercolour. And I am noticing a very valuable point.The artists who I meet on my workshops always seem to get far better results when they are painting either something they truly love as a subject or when they are absolutely passionate about moving their brushes.
I wish you a very Happy Christmas and an even more magical New Year to follow where your dreams come true with a time ahead that is full of many special memories.
Thank you so much for following my blog and I do hope to share smiles, inspiration and my passion for watercolour in 2012 which is already promising to be a very exciting twelve months!
And a very special thank you for the lovely email that brought tears to my eyes letting me know how much my blog is enjoyed!
