I had forgotten it was on there to be honest, and was concentrating on putting smaller things on etsy instead!<br /><br />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!<br /><br />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!!!)<br /><br />So I guess that maybe now I can call myself a proper "mosaic artist"?!<br /><br />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!<br /><br />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!<br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBOqHHeFSQliVBwpO6OmLIrjz600l7-3oHUMNuCdSBboFZP99qgD5_ICwQxQ4aZDwlAIpnqwpQgnEMqVGkZBTKublGe8qpa5h20EOAlD_NZwBeIDdSXFc_Mv776AVzQ1-TVic0ACjhhDN0/s1600-h/bag+charm+flumps+2+(adjusted).jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 211px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347969443013494114" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBOqHHeFSQliVBwpO6OmLIrjz600l7-3oHUMNuCdSBboFZP99qgD5_ICwQxQ4aZDwlAIpnqwpQgnEMqVGkZBTKublGe8qpa5h20EOAlD_NZwBeIDdSXFc_Mv776AVzQ1-TVic0ACjhhDN0/s320/bag+charm+flumps+2+(adjusted).jpg" /></a><br /></p>Raspberry Cupcakehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17939696935516251431noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917455612564891104.post-16335171656696406192009-06-04T16:44:00.003+01:002009-06-04T16:51:00.489+01:00Mosaic Heart Bag Charm / Keyring - "Lemon Sherbert"<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0cUAWLMhEg8lTXCLZi9ScHveQuQ5zLKMAq3zTY4q-7HMa_DrGPoG3um6gwsBjk7-L6lPO5QOeSYcxzkMKAniWJfC9QATrtToySh9UJqdq5zo86ODo6HuDWY_IQUD149ZhLzO9ojeWFmkQ/s1600-h/mosaic+bag+charm+yellow+1+(adj).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343499791201666482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0cUAWLMhEg8lTXCLZi9ScHveQuQ5zLKMAq3zTY4q-7HMa_DrGPoG3um6gwsBjk7-L6lPO5QOeSYcxzkMKAniWJfC9QATrtToySh9UJqdq5zo86ODo6HuDWY_IQUD149ZhLzO9ojeWFmkQ/s320/mosaic+bag+charm+yellow+1+(adj).jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>This is the first of my latest flurry of mosaic projects - pink and blue versions to follow!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>Raspberry Cupcakehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17939696935516251431noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917455612564891104.post-55506818908649052552009-06-03T18:39:00.003+01:002009-06-03T18:46:51.744+01:00Naughty 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!<br /><div></div><br /><div>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:</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343158868981173682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjdZa5lv15h_L7FctSEfj25Fta6rJd8ZtXactMQ4CuiuSex-zra-mOe0iJ7XXfoFVEiuEmph_-KT3L3Jsx2fJ3Id3naqLjcAYiv1UUc2bkjn3MvroDiwvP9XTwRJUV0vG7-l9ATJBoXMQ_/s320/Polly+eatin+1.JPG" border="0" /></div><br /><p>It is costing me a fortune to keep replacing all the plants she has been munching her way through!</p>Raspberry Cupcakehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17939696935516251431noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917455612564891104.post-64726778535269415562009-05-18T15:03:00.004+01:002009-05-18T15:09:07.585+01:00Iv been busy mosaic-ing!Sorry I have neglected my blog and havnt been visiting any of my fellow bloggers creations lately, I've not been very well. <div><br /><div>I just wanted to share a project I have been working on and am really pleased with - a flowery mosaic table which I have called "Country Garden".</div><br /><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337165171125376690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUf6DDsCmjS7FBP796PaD-efjT-qujuzk13_6W-JDf9Ey1yvthbYWsXqcgtwGIGdeiCQNZSJhytqvJmXos_3fY6hJKiS6cVFsr81mqb9xaxLNUfCSd2AfoM5sPm9zm_TXWRGtwT9cwe4tE/s320/mosaic+table+flowers+close+up+1+(adjusted).jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337165505724886690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9o4SAoKqmyW805wngw6EdtKSfWmAGcmzzsplR6bGGbytUDXcyrJndmzWc5df8ecteE8J3bkW2FygDA6GrKbJoIjO4cSjjQ9DPiGm_FgQcj9IyT7tYW5_SPWnRh12YRAqxkcCg8_nyhdIw/s320/mosaic+table+flowers+1.jpg" border="0" /><br />I hope you like it!

The picture is of yellow flowers, which made me think of daffodils, probably because I noticed this morning that I have one daffodil out in my garden!<br /><div></div><br /><div>So I decided to go with a daffodil and spring-like theme.</div><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309048213580208130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 318px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0BRL3lwj9FecuxhtzeWAhI-7HeBF-XZr9-GAlXSs-VplfnYhXVQOL2dvpqbzdrwD06VrhIW5Cd5j7ozebzKkTmiHfl6MBBkT_i9vCbFttcfo1jc_8A9yLX8o5YhfP6fGpvRVv9MRB6wv2/s320/daffodil+quilled+card.jpg" border="0" />I made some quilled daffodils, mounted them on pale yellow dotted swiss Bazzill, then pale green pearlescent paper then the Bazzill again. I played around with various ribbons etc but decided that it actually looked better with less on it, so just added a small dot of Eucalyptus stickles to the inside corners to finish it off.<br /><div></div>Raspberry Cupcakehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17939696935516251431noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917455612564891104.post-63439376817885914802009-03-03T19:21:00.005+00:002009-03-03T19:28:15.840+00:00Glass Painted Candles for Mojo Monday!I found these candles I painted onto acetate a while ago, and thought they would be perfect to use for the <a href="http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/">Mojo Monday</a> challenge sketch this week.

Does Your Blog Need a Makeover?!I enjoyed designing my pretty cupcake blog so much that I have decided that I am going to offer my services as a blog make-up artist to one lucky blogger!<br /><br />Just leave a comment after this post, and I will use a random number picker to choose which one of you it will be!<br /><br /><strong>PLEASE NOTE</strong><br /><br /> * I will design a blog background for the winner. This does not include a header.<br /> * I will customise the background to suit you eg colour, preferences etc but I do ask that you are reasonable with your requests and allow me to exercise some design choice! <br /> *You can of course choose not to use the background that I design!!!!<br /> *If you want pictures on the blog (like my cupcakes) then you need to provide these pictures and it is your responsibility to make sure they are either your own or are copyright-free.<br /><br />YOU HAVE UNTIL MONDAY 9th FEBRUARY AT 18.00PM (GMT) TO LEAVE YOUR COMMENT AND BE IN WITH A CHANCE OF WINNING.<br /><br />Good Luck!<br /><br />edit: I can only do blogger/blogspot backgrounds at the moment although if you are a user of a different blog and know how to install a background then I am happy to design it for you!Raspberry Cupcakehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17939696935516251431noreply@blogger.com12
