Christmas making and baking - despite my creativity going AWOL!

 For some reason, even though I have been enjoying time off work, my creative muse appears to have left the building! I just haven't really felt like being creative.  I know that this is sometimes the way, and I do try to make the most of those times when the muse strikes.  Before creativity deserted me, I did make some polymer clay Christmas trees, using liberal amounts of glitter.
They are very simple, stand about 6 cm tall, use up some scrap clay and were quite satisfying to make.
I have also made the my usual iced star biscuits which I enjoy making.  I hope that over Christmas I will feel that I want to finish my tunic dresses and skirts, make jewellery and perhaps even make some felt...of course, if not, there is always eating, drinking, watching TV and reading!

  2. Love your trees and your biscuits. Even the creative muse needs (demands?) a holiday from time to time. I hope you, and it, emerge from Christmas into the New Year happy and content, to face a wonderful year.
