On the run

Hello again, well I am back with my newest creation. You know when you got a cup of tea or two or more at the same time....well not all for yourself. But you know when you just dont want to drip and drop the teabags over the kitchen floor and make a whole mess. We had a little bowl for this purpose for it feels like ages .....after beeing used so much that it sort of started to look a bit well OLD my husband bless him said lets chuck it out. It's looks bad and wont make it much longer. You should have heard my outcry. What noooooooooooooo we don't......and there it came again my most favourite sentence....I can do something with it. I guess he really thought I got a screw loose :-) Lets face it who wouldn't. Anyway here is the little bowl as it was. If you look at it closely it really wasn't looking very healthy. I just had one of visions.........oh dear. It took me two evenings and it was done and dusted. Back in the kitchen where my husband is refusing to use...

Hello, time is flying by when trying to keep up with everything, but I didn't want to show you again just have done items.....well OK at least you cant see it on the picture. This is one of 6 dinner mats. I had lots of different tiles left and thought its nice having some for our table. It's just not good having some made out of carton if you dribble a lot or make a mess. Not that I dribble .....don't get any ideas! Anyway let's just swiftly move on :-) Yes well I made this over a weekend and hubby wanted to have clean lines so I will have to gloss the side and bottom in a nice beige rather then tiling them as I did the one before. It is funny how both of us went for different favourites. I love the once big and chunky and not so precise. Hubby is more for the smaller and more defined one.  I like the fact it's for all of us one in there and that's how I usually work. Non of my items are the same. I don't really have a master plan when I start ...

Well here I am back again with to little time on my hand as usual. Gosh I do wonder every time again how long it takes to make a mosaic. I have to tell you ....MY HANDS ARE KILLING ME!!! I was clipping tiles for over 4 hours. We are not just talking about the usual standard mosaic tiles ....no no we are talking about normal tiles for kitchens and bathrooms. Why, oh why am I always so much into the environment.....you know the kind of save the world type and having to reuse everything. Serves me right..... So yes I have started with two projects the same time....really shouldn't do that but just can't help myself so done it anyway. OK the save the world project are our new place mats for our dining table as our old ones are sold with the last house. New house, new place mats. I haven't got any pictures uploaded but will do so over the next two weeks...PROMISE!!! The other project is my friends Birthday present. She has a red and white themed kitchen and mentioned gent...

Hi, I always wanted to do something creative and when I moved to the UK I was without my family and friends and what shall I say...... you got plenty of time on your hand...... I started making jewellery and cards 5 years ago and took a mosaic course last year. This has been one of the best weekends ever. I loved it sooooo much that I started to make more and more till today. My ultimate dream would be to make mosaics for everyone to order. This would be just haven, but hey ho at the moment every new house will get a mosaic in the......and we move a lot!!! Well first one I done was on an old tray and it should be the phoenix. Yes it's a bird and yes this really should be flames!!! Trust me I made it :-) The second project was in our old Victorian house a fire souround and after that there was no holding back. I also made some place mats for our dining table with a matching border for our kitchen cupboard. Good that we sold the house, otherwise I probably would have don...
