Tekkies!!!

Hi guys!

As I've told you before, my friend Tekkies (actually Tertia), does lovely mosaic, so here is a few of her latest projects.

I just love her originality!

Mister Robotto-man vs The Truck

Hello!

I am proud to welcome another mommy to my clientele! Mandy-Lee ordered two name boards for her two boys...

... a robot for Sebastian...

... and a truck for Jake.

By the way - Happy 1st birthday Jake!

Stay tuned for another name board I am making for Mandy-Lee's friend, Candice.

Till we meet again,

Marika. =)

A Few Firsts For Me!

Hi guys!

So I have a few "firsts" to share with you...

We finally decided on a name for our baby, and he will be known as Reuben Troskie!

So I finally had a name to work with and make a name board for his door. I also made another mosaic word for his room = DROOM.

Here's a peek at the two:

And another first for me, was that I had my first "outside" client. Someone whom I've never met, ordered a name board from me! She found me in the strangest way, but I am happy to welcome Niqui and her daughter Sienna to my mosaic family!

This little butterfly is for Niel & Luzanne's lil one, Anouk. Just have to actually meet up with them again to give this to her...

That's it for now.

Bye,

Marika =)

Odds & Ends before Christmas...

Good Morning!

I have to tell you a story regarding this frame I made. Remember the "SWEM" I made for Susan, and her little angel loving it so much, and calling it Fantasties? Well, she loves seeing herself in the mirrors, so I made this mirrored daisy for Annabelle. Cute, huh?

Madre is spoiling her colleagues with pot stands for Christmas....

...one for Alida...

...and one for Zelna.

Shani ordered this chocolate brown keyring holder with white polka dots, and cake-forks bended so you can hang keys, or dishcloths, etc.

These are some of Tekkies' projects. Super nice!!!

That's all for now. Enjoy your Christmas!

SWEM! dis somer!

Halloa!

Susan het die mooi letters gekoop vir by hulle swembad, en gevra dat ek dit moet mosaic met spieëltjies. Selfs haar 3 jarige dogtertjie, Annabelle, het gesê dit lyk "fantasties"! So cute! =)



Ek het ook hieruit inspirasie getap en my nuwe besigheidskaartjies ontwerp en laat druk. Hierdie is die voorkant:

Some new stuff...

Hi guys!

Some new stuff for you to feast your eyes on! =)

I don't know how to explain this, but it's purely decorative. It hangs above my guest bedroom door. Mu-u-uch bigger than its looks here.

This is Tekkies' gecko I mentioned in my previous post. I just love it! Such originality! I don't even think of her as my student anymore - more a partner in mosaicing!

Mmmmm. These three little guys makes me very nervous! It's an order by Gideoni for her sister-in-law, but I'm so afraid she won't like it... Let's hope for the best... (Gideoni - ek hoop jy hou hiervan... as jy doen, los 'n comment hieronder die post, anders moet jy maar jou skinkbord kom gryp en weghol!)

Another baby name board. I love making these! Madre ordered it for her sister's baby due in December.

Well, that's all for now, folks!

I actually started with the giant snail!!! So piccies will be up shortly. Still in the making: a name board the shape of a truck (by tekkies), 2 more frames (also tekkies) and then one big and one teaspoon tray for Gideoni.

Thanks for visiting!

Name Boards

I absolutely adore Name boards for babies. I think its the ONE thing every baby needs. Really. It's just so personal & pretty. It's definitely my favourite thing to make. And so much cuter than the stuff in the shops...

Here's my babies:



Jessie is a my friend's baby girl. This was my first name board and it was a baby shower gift for Veruschka.


Erno & Amara are twins. I am so jealous at Eloise for having a boy & girl twin. It's my dream!

Tania ordered Jesse for a friend, and liked it so much.....

... she just HAD to order one for her little angel as well!

Klara is Susan's latest addition to the Smith-family. I can't wait to meet her!!! (Yes, she's still living in mommy's tummy!)

Tjaard. My very dear friend, Tertia, or affectionately called Tekkies, has the most beautiful 3 year old boy. I just love him to bits. And this was his bday gift this year.
