dreaming of a white christmas...

(alvin and the chipmunks christmas song!)











we went to the christmas market last night and had warm milk
and honey. it was very good. yesterday was also the beginning of my
christmas holiday (from school..)so i can work a bit more for the next
couple weeks.


merry christmas!

mum's apricot balls

for me, it wouldn't be christmas without these!

i made these with my mum's recipe, she makes them every year at christmas:

250g shredded coconut (+ 100-150 grams more for rolling)
1 tin of condensed milk (the stuff nestle makes)
200grams of finely chopped dried apricots.

mix together, shape into balls and roll in extra coconut and keep in the fridge, serve cool.


Oma had never tried them before, and she said they taste a bit like white raffaellos.
Does anyone know where these originate?

& some good news: my 5 new works finally showed up at Thinkspace Gallery! They said they will display them in January.

hoooray! christmas cards are here!

So they finally arrived!

I couldn't bring my oil paints here to Germany because of aircraft restrictions, so today we bought new ones, 5 star ones even! & i can't wait to paint with them. the best part? Bob Ross odorless thinner:

Back in Oz, my mum has been taking art classes, and above is the fruit of her labour! She says it is not finished yet, but I think it looks wonderful already.






& Heiko has been busy making t shirt designs (which you can see above ) & also a beautiful, glossy Christmas card (which you can see below) We both got cards printed this year(mine haven't arrived yet though!).



It's available on his shop for 1€ or 1.50USD. (click above if you want one, or if you
just want to see it up close.)


& that is all for today. Tomorrow is a day off so maybe I will post something then.

p.s



Here is a shrew that was lying outside. It looks like a cat got it. (Australia doesn't have shrews, so of course I had to take a picture.)
