Oh my goodness, it's such a perfect winter scene outside.  Midday, and the trees and grass are still white.  Real Christmas card stuff and getting me in the mood.  I always feel extra creative in winter too, it seems to be my muse, even strangely inspiring me for the next season of garden parties.  Not sure why that is, maybe it's just the focus on nature today.

I also feel a little lost at this time of year, most of the Christmas services are done now, just a couple to go, then we have the run down to the big day itself.  It's like I'm now waiting for something to happen.  Early 2013 is looking very eventful so far, some amazing projects with the best themes I've created are all happening in the first quarter of the year, so Jan will arrive with a bang.  I suppose in that respect I am waiting for something to happen....

RSVPs are starting to come in, now I'm getting excited.  My mind is working over time, the ideas are really flowing now, I'll have to do the dreaded task of cropping my muse board soon.  Such a shame, but I'm sure the next event will benefit....2013, bring it on!

Heaven is a place on earth....

I'm off to one of my favourite places in the world today.  Angels costumiers in London.  It's all about Gothic,  vamps and even masquerade today....if I'm not back by 7pm call for help, as I've probably got myself locked in!!

Calm before the storm?!

So, Engraved Heart's first big project of 2013 is under way   A Carnival Bizarre Extravaganza!!

The Muse board for this is bursting at the seams, I'll post it once I'm finished with it.  So far I have the venue, design, entertainment, catering & transport, even the event website is almost ready...but now to tackle the sumptuous set dressing, my favourite part!

Lights, fabrics, quirky furniture and all those important finishing touches to create, so off to the reclamation yards this week, to have a good old root about....love my job!
