It's good to try something new every now and then!

I had a special request a while ago from a dear friend of mine that is getting married in May.

She needed some props, photo booth props to be exact to be made for her wedding.  One of her requests was a life size flower that they would be able to pose with.

I got a picture from her, and didn't think much of it, until I had to start sourcing the materials I would use.....and only then my head started spinning on how to go about making this GIANT flower.

Little did I know that it would take loads of man hours, 150 % more brain power than I felt there was capacity for, and my stress level going thru the roof!

By Friday night though, I had calmed down, because I finally cracked it!  And by 10 pm, the flower was done, to be delivered the next morning at 9 am.  Cutting it close, I know!

I'm grateful that I did it, it is a valuable lesson that I have learnt, and the knowledge of how to build a GIANT flower will never be taken away from me!

Now, just no one get any ideas.....I will not be repeating this endeavour....!

Will post the rest of the photo booth props later on!

BOO!beloobies in the Woods!

I've just finished a Woodlands range of toys, Hot Air Balloon and a Large Woodland themed Mobile for a special little boy who turned 2 months on Friday!

Little Owen was spoiled by his mommy with all these goodies.  The toys included a Holly the Hedgehog, Fibi the Fox, Ribbon the Rabbit and Orli the Owl.

I hope you love your room with all the new play things baby!  Made with love......from me and from your mommy!

How the BOO!beloobies look at the Lekker Life Fees!

So here is how the BOO!beloobies looked at the Lekker Life Fees!  Aren't they just gorgeous, especially when they are all together!

Some BOO!beloobies, there is Owls, Ladybugs, Lions and Panda's and sooo much more!

Tinker the Tinman turned out so adorable!

BOO!beloobie toys and watercolour paintings

They are too cute!

Later in the week I'll be giving you guys other peaks at the rest of the heART in the Garden Exhibit, which turned out completely stunning!

So we'll keep in touch, have a great week!

The Lekker Life Festival is starting tomorrow!

The reason I've been missing in action for the last 3 weeks is starting tomorrow!

The "Lekker Life Festival" in conjunction with heART in  the Garden is kicking off the festivities on the 21st of March, and running until the 25th of March at the Silverstar Casino in Krugersdorp.  There are loads of family entertaining, food and exhibits, and I can tell you, the artwork on display at the heART in the Garden gallery is going to be mind blowingly stunning.

I'll be posting pics of the event later in the week, have over 80 of my BOO!beloobies there, and we are hoping to turn some heads!

See you later all!

Hectic Smectic!

My house looks a mess, I'm hectically busy.....there's little heaps of unfinished BOO!beloobies lying everywhere!

Miley the Mouse

Fibi the Fox

Loogaroo the Lion

Here's some unfinished critters....will hopefully be finished within the next couple of day.

Holly the Hedgehog in pieces

Tinker the Tinman still without any spare parts!

Aaah well, no rest for the wicked, where's the whip so I can get to work!  Crack it!

Just a quick update!

I'm vigorously at work for the upcoming market I'm doing...and some nice and big orders that I've received from the lovely shop in Graaff Reinet in the Eastern Cape called the Windmill Junction.....so having said that, I'll be giving you guys quick updates on how I'm doing, as my time is extremely limited.....hope I'll be able to do all the things that needs to be done.

Today I'm sharing Ribbon the Rabbit.  She was my first original BOO!beloobie, she started everything.  I love her, she's very understated, but I think she's a show stopper!

You guys have already seen her watercolour version, so let me know what you think of her in the flesh!

I'll be updating you guys again later in the week, hope it's a wonderfully fulfilling one for all of us!

And may we all find some superhuman strenght to get us through times like these, and some extra hours in the days!

Fibi the Fox is the star of the 3rd painting!

For the third painting in the BOO!beloobie range I chose to do Fibi the Fox, she's a popular favourite of the range.....and the painting came out perfectly!

My little boy, which this range is amptly named after his one nickname, joined in the fun when I was taking the pictures, he always tries to insert some kind of toys, or himself into the frame....not shy of the camera at all....so that is why there is such a random photo of him in here!

 But he's so cute, he just fits in anywhere!

Well, I'll be doing some more painting over the weekend, with some toys I have to start and finish, so I'll be talking to you guys again soon!

Have a great weekend everyone!
