I know it's the oddest of topics, but I made some wonderful glass pebbles for my family members last Christmas as tags and have forgotten to blog about it. And since it's Chinese New Year now, I just have to blog about these wonderfully cute cupcakes I made for the celebrations too. |
| Printed rows and rows of images I stole from their Facebook! |
 |
| Cut them to size. Found these pebbles from Daiso but did not have enough so had to make a trip to Multifilla. |
 |
| Magnets for the back of the pebbles. |
 |
| I used Modge Podge to secure the image to the flat side of the glass pebble. These were a set just for Alistair. Do you see Eddie? |
 |
| Before Chinese New Year, my garden was a grand mess. Stan decided to give our little garden a little plastic surgery. LOL! |
 |
| Who would have thought that fake grass will look so real. |
 |
| Mind you though, the plants are the real deal! If they had fakes that good looking I would have thought about it too. |
 |
| Love the flowering hedge around. |
 |
| Ah! My forever green garden. We could have a little stitch bee here. What say you, Paul? |
 |
| This Chinese New Year, I discovered how incredible a rhombus can become. |
 |
| See the lantern taking shape. |
 |
| Between laughing at some poor English translations I managed to figure out some wonderful lantern patterns using a plain simple rhombus fold of a red packet. How talented the chinese are! Will take a nice shot of all the lanterns I've made later to show you what I mean about these wonderful creations. |
 |
| The mess on my kitchen table. |
 |
| All that research on making toppers for the new year. Looks like I still can sketch some. LOL! |
 |
| Some white chocolate piping. This was really fun to experiment. I printed out the chinese 'Fook' aka 'prosperity' and traced the wordings in one good stroke. Edible Calligraphy! How 'bout that! |
 |
| Some mandaring oranges. A little whimsical but aren't they just the cutest!!! |
 |
| Lion heads all in a row. |
 |
| They look kinda majestic. |
 |
| We also celebrated our Grandfather's 83rd birthday. |
 |
| I made the topper out of a Shangri-la moon cake box motif. |
 |
| HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR KUNG-KUNG!!! |
 |
| Macadamia Honey cupcakes with the Chinese New Year themed toppers. |
