Long time no blog! I miss you all very much! I hope this post finds everyone doing well and filled with love, good health and much happiness!I'm joining Show and Tell Friday, hosted by the fabulous and creative Cindy of My Romantic Home. You should pop over to her post and see the other lovely and creative participants!
I know, I know, I'm a bit early for Show and Tell Friday, but I'm working around a tight schedule here! haha!
Ok, so here is some of what I've been up to! I've been creating (html coding) templates for ebay and they are finally finished. Other than a new header, my ebay template has the same background as my blog page. The header came out fabulous!
I will be positing some listings on ebay this coming friday. Here is a sneak preview of what I will be listing.
Some pretty cottage mosaic creations....
...and couple of autumn wreaths....
I am still trying to tweak my webpage so I can get it up and running (and save myself some ebay fees).
I've started to mosaic the other side table, got the border and focal on the top and the focal placed on the shelf...here's a peek....
I thought by now I'd be able to show you a photo of my "widget" prototype. I had a meeting a couple of weeks ago with a fellow who showed me that we need to redesign the "widget" to make it more cost effective to manufacture. *sigh* So back to the drawing board we go a tweaking. When it is finalized and the patent has been filed, I'll be able to give you a sneak preview!
So that's it for now. I have been (quietly) going around and visiting everyone from time to time (making sure ya'll behave yourselves! *wink*). I hope you haven't given up on me! I will be back as often as time permits!
Don't forget to pop over to Cindy at My Romantic Home for list of other participants! Thanks for stopping by!
Hugs to all!
I have missed your beautiful mosaics and what you showed today is beautiful. Also love the wreaths.
ReplyDeleteOh Tina, I have indeed missed your company, altho I knew you must be ever so busy. I am so pleased that you are back and blogging. I love what you are doing and I don't blame you, ebay fees are killers for sure. I haven't listed there in over a month now....Char
ReplyDeletelove them, why don't you sell on etsy, the fee is low, your treasures are so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteTina....Thanks for visiting!! I've missed you so!! I do hope you are in a better place, I know how hard the getting back is as I have been off since April...I know..it's a long time!! Best of luck with your new venture and have fun creating your beautiful treasures!! So glad to hear from you!!
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs xOxO Nerina :)
Tina, Your completed mosaic table is so beautiful, and the other will be just as pretty when done. It is amazing how much work goes into selling online, from what I read. Is Etsy any better than using e-Bay?
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my post on the furniture market. It was so much fun to see all the new introductions in accessories and furniture. And thanks for your nice comment on my new door basket.
hugs, Sue
Tina, your beautiful presence has been missed in the Land of Blog, but it looks like you have been a busy bee. Beautiful things! You need to get a feature in one of the magazines like, "Romantic Homes."
ReplyDeleteLove to you and all the best with this endeavor!
XO,
Sheila :-)
You have been on my mind for several weeks now. Knew that I hadn't seen your around but...well I have no excuse for not checking on you. Was just returning a visit from someone and there you were. POPPED over, I did, and my but you have had a bit of life happening. I will be praying for things to happen and look forward to you riding the TOP of the wave soon. Congrats for your son and I wish him a great launch to his life. Hope your mom is doing better and sorry to hear of about your Auntie.
ReplyDeleteThursday Blessings and Ride 'em Cowgirl!!!
I have a table similar to yours that I SWEAR I am going to do the same thing, but I can't find any dishes! I'm still on the look out though, and am NOT giving up! Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteHey Tina, I was wondering where you were! Glad you're back and that things are going well...LOVE your mosaics, especially the birdhouse and the cake stands and the end tables...oh, just everything is beautiful. Those ebay fees are horrible, so I hope you get everything worked out. Looking forward to your next post!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Mary
You have been busy! It's all so gorgeous!! I LOVE those cake stands!
ReplyDeleteTina you continue to amaze me with your lovely mosaics!! I am so curious about you "widget". That has got to be exciting to be on the verge of manufacturing your own little gadget!
ReplyDeleteMy father in law was so funny- when he saw the painter roller gadget that would pump the paint into the roller from the can so you wouldn't have to load it all the time he said that he wished he would have patented that idea as he came up with it years ago. He had several other oughta patents- He would say "just think how famous and rich I would be now!"
But you are actually doing it!! Good for you!

The mosaic items are lovely.
ReplyDeleteSusan
What beautiful mosaics! I'm a china lover so it is just a little hard to think of all the broken dishes that go into them, but they sure are beautiful... :)
ReplyDeleteTina, thank you so much for stopping by and your kind comment. I haven't been out and about much myself. Your creations are just beautiful - I've wanted to try my hand at mosaic for quite awhile and have been collecting. I have a counter top I'd like to do - I know, you'd think I'd start with something small - but no... Your work is such an inspiration - maybe soon. Have a great weekend!

Lovely mosaic work! Love the tables. Might have to give this a try someday. Jean
ReplyDeleteSorry I am late for Show & Tell, I had to take part in a Trade Day on Saturday & set up was on Friday... but, I love your mossiac work. The side tables are my favorite pieces! CUTE! Wish they would work at my house but, not since the master has all dark wood. Thank you for stopping by to see my cut crystal shakers.
