Easter gifts

What a fantastic Easter gift! This will be finished off by the client (my sister, Beth, and i did these together) once she has writen on the matching cards and stuck them on the letters.

Why not also give something that will last the years. :D

Canvas' three

We felt that we were to do art on canvas as well and these are the first three pieces. Enjoy! Remember that all our art is for sale so if you would like anything that you see, just email us at mel.butterflyartworks@gmail.com.au

Cupcake anyone?

I created this cupcake last night. I was inspired by my great friend Lucy, who loves baking and her mum, who makes aprons.

I was thinking how great it'd be to have aprons hanging on a wall, for when people want to come over and create something but don't want splashes on their clothes...then it went to the baking side of aprons and this was the end product.

I created my own paper! Wow, God is expanding my creativity. I then went on to design a ballet/dance paper but you'll have to wait for that one.

Basic Cupcake Recipe

200g unsalted butter, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup caster sugar

3 eggs

2 1/2 cups self-raising flour, sifted

1/2 cup milk

Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced oven. Line muffin or mini-muffin pans with paper cases.

Using an electric mixer, beat butter, vanilla and sugar in a small bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition (mixture will separate at this stage). Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Stir in half the flour. Stir in half the milk. Repeat with remaining flour and milk until combined.

For 1/3 cup-capacity muffin pans use 2 level tablespoons of mixture. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes. Alternatively, for 1 tablespoon-capacity mini muffin pans use 1 tablespoon mixture. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

Stand cakes in pans for 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Zozo's party - photos take2

Zozo's party

These photos are a tad late in getting on the blog but i wanted to share them with you. My sister (Driftwood Cakes) made the beautiful cake toppers, and they finished off the cupcakes very well. Plus they tasted yummy. It was a great day spent with family and a few close friends. It's unbelieveable that Zoe is one already! She is such a strong little character! Love her so very much. 

Miss Ladybug

Made this Ladybug and Owl for my sisters friend.

I have made a ladybug before but as I never make two the same, each one is exciting and fun to do.

Better go and package them up for posting in the morning.

The carboot stall.

Wow, I did it. Butterfly Artworks first 'stall'.

The carboot sale went well. I didn't get my hopes up to high as after all, and i include myself in this, carboot sales are normally where people go to get a bargain.
It was a beautiful day, and plenty of stall holders were there to help support the Frankston Church of Christ.
I was pleasantly surprised by the custom, and a number of my brochures were taken for further information.
Thank you for your love and support.
Thanks to Leesa for allowing me to share her table.
A huge thanks to Aj and the kids for allowing me to express my creativity in this way.
And a massive thanks to God for giving me my creativity.
With love xox
