Mice and cupcakes

It's been a few weeks since my last posting. That's because I've been fullfilling all my orders. One in particular was quite a feat, 200 mice to be exact. I don't have any pictures of the little chaps as they are going to be used as a logo for a new company which is being developed. They are now safely at their new home.
I also had some cupcake orders to complete, and they too are now finished and delivered. I'm still on cupcakes, and my new designs are still to be made. However I have just put these in the shop....
along with these....
....I have a few other projects on the go, but as is always the case, time is never on my side. I'm sure that everyone feels the same!
One of my projects is this love little wooden box....
It was given to me a while ago. I have sanded it all down, it just needs one more sand with some fine sand paper and I'm going to paint it. I've been looking through one of my books at some of the finishes....
I have done quite a few pieces of furniture and pots etc before, but I'm not quite sure on the finish on this piece. I quite like this finish....
....and i also like this too...
...I have loads of paints, all I have to do is make a choice! The hardest part I think!!!
With a new baby due to be born into the family in September I have baby projects to think of too. But more of those later.There's also the gardening to do, I love being in the garden, I have seeds to sew and plants to put in. There's always plenty to do here, but I wouldn't have it any other way!
