Life Is Like A Box Of Chocolates!

I had a flash of inspiration when I made this card for the Cute Card Thursday challenge:



I cut some squares and circles with my slice machine, then cut the squiggles on top by hand and mounted them on foam pads in a "chocolate box" made from brown card and cadbury's purple tissue paper. Yummy!

Hand-Drawn Eeyore Card

It is ages since I did any challenges, but I was inspired by the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge this week, so here is my entry:

I drew the Eeyore by hand (I had a lot of time on my hands lol!) and coloured him with prisma pencils and sansodor.

I didnt have any paper that did him justice so I cut strips of pastel paper and made my own zig-zag stripey background.

I love eeyore! And its good to see him looking happy for a change!

"Summer Meadow" Mosaic Table

This flowery garden bistro set is quite different to the others I have made up until now, it is more of a scene rather than a random pattern. Im not sure if I like it really, but it was nice to make.


My inspiration was a painting of a flower filled meadow I saw in a magazine, I loved the colours especially the pinks and greens together.


I've used quite a few gorgeous little jewel-like crystal tiles as flowers in the grass, and the foxgloves and part of the butterfly and bee are made using gold-veined tiles for a bit of sophisticated sparkle

Some AMAZING news . . and Marshmallow Flumps!!!

Well, I am so high I am in the clouds!!!!

Yesterday I sold my mosaic table to someone through Misi, my first sale on there! I had forgotten it was on there to be honest, and was concentrating on putting smaller things on etsy instead!

But then I checked my emails and nearly collapsed in shock! I just sat there saying OMG, OMG, OMG until my brother said that if I said that again he would smash the table up!

They have paid and everything, so just got to get it delivered to them by courier and pray they like it! (and that none of the pieces fall off!!!)

So I guess that maybe now I can call myself a proper "mosaic artist"?!

I have another pretty green table and lots of ideas for my next design! I couldnt make another one until that one had sold or I may have ended up with so many tables I couldnt sell that I could start a cafe!

I have also been busy with my fimo and sculpey, I think I was craving sugar because I made lots of yummy treats! My favourite is this flump bag charm, I already have a comission from my sister to make her one!

Naughty Bunny!

I have been very busy but I havnt got any pictures of my latest projects to put on here yet, I will have to keep you in suspense!

I just wanted to name and shame my naughty rabbit, who I caught red-handed standing up to steal leaves from my mini weeping willow tree:



It is costing me a fortune to keep replacing all the plants she has been munching her way through!
