Miscellaneous Christmas Items // My Work-Space

Hey guys! I just wanted to stop in and share with you what I have been working on lately! First thing, I brought The Magnolia back out! It has been sitting in my closet for a few months now... collecting dust and peeking at me from around the closet door. I figured now would be a good time to pull it back out and get back to work on it! 

I also started on some plates of cookies! And barrels of candies! I figured candy and cookies would be a good way to start off some Christmas miniatures!

I also did some thrift-shopping this weekend! I found two more little shelves! You can see the ones I have in the bottom left picture. In the picture on the right you can see another image of the cookies and candies.

As for me, I am slowly getting my energy back each day! I have a long list of things I want to be making, but I can't tackle the list like I want because I don't want to work myself to hard and get sick again or anything. So, things are coming along a bit more slowly than I'd like... but they are coming along nonetheless!

I hope you are all doing really well! Thanks for stopping by!

Brownies and Cookies - Custom Order!

Hello everyone! Well, I have been back in the shop and making some lovely new things! I have some ALL NEW miniatures coming soon, I just need to take care of a few things before I share those.

I recently received a very large custom order! A super sweet lady bought 12 cakes, 30 brownies, and 4 dozen cookies. So far I have got the cookies and brownies almost done! Here is a little peak at what I have so far....

 

I just recently finished the brownies and I have to add some nut toppings. Since I was in the groove of these, I made some extras! I will list those as soon as I have this large order completed! :D

As for the cookies, the order included 2 dozen chocolate chip, 1 dozen sugar cookies, and 1 dozen iced sugar cookies. As soon as I get this last batch of things out of the oven I am going to bed, but tomorrow I will make the cakes! Those are going to be REALLY fun to make. (They're ombre cakes!)

 

Oh! As far as the other new items, I am experiementing with some miniature pottery and I also made some cupcake bases! I will hopefully soon have some regular cupcakes and also some mini-mini cupcakes. Haha! Here are a couple pictures to give you an idea-

 

Friday is over and it was a very productive day! But I still have a lot to do... I need to work on my design project, do my homework, and also work on my other project with my friend. I have everything planned out for the whole weekend, but I don't think I will get to work on my house. Ergh! I have collected a lot of egg cartons! I should be done with the chimney in no time... once I get started. Haha!

Well, thanks for stopping by! I will check in once I complete this order to show you guys how everything turned out. I will also (hopefully) have some of the new items for the shop made soon. We'll see!

Home Sweet Home! + Starting late on Christmas items!

Hello, my loves!!! I miss you all so much! I had a wonderful time at my Nanny's, but I almost went INSANE! Well... sorta. (I'm basically already insane :] ) For some reason blogger wouldn't let me upload any images and so I got discouraged and didn't make much while I was gone! I did, however, make some of these!

 They are Christmas Cookie ornaments! :D :D :D

Don't they look SCRUMPTIOUS! They aren't exactly miniature, but they are small! Each one only measures a few inches tall, but I think they came out pretty realistic, don't you!?

The sugar cookies and gingerbread cookies are just the start... I want to also make regular cookies, in different sizes. But hey.... I ain't making any promises! I have been SUPER DUPER busy and my time isn't going to free up any time soon.

Over on the left you can see a chocolate chip cookie! This was actually the hardest to make- because I want them to be REALLY realistic and I didn't have any real chocolate chip cookies on hand to look at for reference.

Here I added some red cord! Very simple, and very cute!

Below you can see the gingerbread man and the chocolate chip cookie on their strings and hanging on the tree! :)

As for some actual miniatures, I will have to wait until at least Sunday to start making some. I just got back home last night and my parents have scheduled a trip to the mountains (again). This time we are going to see all the Christmas lights! :D :D :D

Anyways, I will have about a week to work on miniatures before I go BACK out of town. We are going back to my Nanny's on Christmas day.

And don't worry! For those of you that like to keep up with my model house, I will also work on that some next week! I have a ton of bricks cut out and I would like to put some Christmas decorations on it as well!

Thanks for stopping by!

These sushi hearts were so fun to make! and I love how they turned out!

Each earring has a metal backing, as shown below.

Here is a pretty cool photo of the donut earrings with a penny. This is to give you another view of the size.

What do you think?! I started off making a couple pair and then I couldn't stop myself!
