A Country Christmas

Living so close to a national park really does have its benefits, although we do take it for granted at times.

But really… we seem to have it all here.

You see, Churchill National Park is almost a “hop, skip and jump” from our home. We’ve gained amazing opportunities by living here. Wildlife comes and goes as they please. They visit our gardens, parks and nature strips. We see plenty of cockatoos, ducks, galahs and Ibises; just to name a few. Then there’s the odd occasion when a kangaroo comes hopping down our street.

It’s so fulfilling that I rarely need to go too far for inspiration for my designs.

This month Handmade has released its Annual Country Christmas Issue –

Featuring, my “Hoppers Crossing” Cross stitch project.

Included in this issue is my “Christmas Wreaths” decorative painting project.

I’ve always believed I’m a country gal at heart…

Happy crafting,

Effie
