2010 Update

Wow, It's been a long time since I updated my blog!!! Sorry about that! Been a bit busy with the pregnancy and everything... I am proud to say I am now 28 weeks pregnant with a boy, and everything is going very well! =)

So, let me introduce a few of my latest projects!

I made this little utensil holder for my friends' baby, Andia, using decoupage & tiles.

My sister-in-law, Shani, got married in January, and this is the frame I made for them as a wedding gift.

This is also Shani's, with dark green paper decoupaged, and brown birds.

This double pot stands belongs to Gideoni, indeed very handy!

Anmarie ordered 33 coasters for a workshop at her work. I drilled holes into the one corner so the coasters got converted into a cute decoration.

Tekkies helped with this massive order! The last photo is her babies...

Speaking of Tekkies, here's some of her frames.
Okay, that's it for now! I am busy working on a few things, once they're finished, I'll post them asap!

Take care of yourself!

Marika. =)

Potplants, Utencil Holders & Penholders

This post is for a few random stuff, that connects in some ways.

I got the idea of using normal plates to decorate a pot for a plant. So I went and bought some odd cheap plates and Werner & I had a ball of a time smashing them with a hammer! This is the result.

Who knew these little guys will fly off the shelve like they did! 2 each to Christal & Shani.

These two pen holders I made for the Struisbaai Market in 2008, but didn't sell. So Christal snatched the orange one, and Werner grabbed the black one! (",)

I absolutely love this square utensil holder. Photos are of both angles. The inserts on the sides just makes the whole thing, and of course makes it very expensive, but hey - I made if for myself, so I didn't care.

Like I said before, Gideoni made up for lost time, and ordered an Utensil holder. I bought this hexagonal holder, so take a look at each side, and follow the "twig"...

I must admit, this one goes under my all time favourites!
