Raindrops on roses...

Its that time of year again, when I breath a sigh of relief that the summer is over! The garden also comes back to life in a somewhat spingtime form, enjoying the coolness after the crisping heat of summer. Life is good again! A friendly parrot stopped by to tell us so :)
I love coming outside after a rain to find silvery raindrops on all the roses and foliage, its a magical feel to be in a glistening garden, breathing in the cool sweet air after the harsh South Australian summer.

Inviting you into my studio.....

I thought it would be nice to share some photos of the place where I create my little bears and critters. I've decorated it in a fairy woodland theme, and it not only inspires me, but I also find it a relaxing place to drink a cup of tea, or even do my mediation and yoga. My little butterfly dog loves it too, his favourite place is peeking through the curtains at the street outside, he has his special little toy box too and it still amazes me how many of those toys he will pull out in a day to play with :) If you'd like to see more photos from my studio, click here for to see my flickr album. http://www.flickr.com/photos/22313200@N02/sets/72157623763271839/
