I live in Canberra, Australia, and I love to make things. My favourite crafts are papercutting; screenprinting; painting with acrylic; and decorating cakes and cookies/biscuits. I also dabble in jewellery making and knitting.

I have two young sons (aged 3 and 5) and I envy people who have young children and beautifully decorated houses ; )

Christmas is my favourite time of the year. I trim my tree with handmade ornaments (from swaps) at the top (out of reach of inquisitive hands); and the kids' craft ornaments at the bottom. My ornaments are a huge mix of colours and styles, although one day I hope to have a separate tree for just my red, silver and white ornaments (many of which have a heart theme).

I love heart shapes and red decorations - so it seemed natural to create and participate in a handmade heart themed ornament swap. I look forward to seeing what everyone makes - please remember to post pictures on the flickr page!
