We had some of these sticky buns at the local bake shop this morning and it inspired me to come home and try some in miniature. Room for improvement but not too bad for my first try.Most of all I had fun. Sticky buns anyone? I'm off to help my daughter pick out a new pet. Maybe we will get some more sticky buns. Lol Mini hugs!
Another sweet surprise came in the mail. This wonderful floral vase came to me all the way from Australia. Isn't it amazing? I love it Linda. Thank you so much. Linda has the most amazing house ever that she is doing so if you haven't been to her blog it is a MUST SEE! http://une-petite-folie.blogspot.com/2009/03/le-grand-salon.html Thank you again Linda. Mini hugs!
This is what I did today. I made miniature strawberry cakes. I love strawberry cake. It was a pretty day today but very windy and still a little cold. Making these cakes put me into a spring time mood. We baked one for a dinner we went to the other night. I looked at the coloring when it was done baking and tried to get that look on my miniature version. It stays pink in some places and golden brown on others. I will have a bakery to show you soon. Mini hugs!
I first want to apologize for not always doing the best job of doing what I'm supposed to do with the awards. But I do want to say a thank you to everyone who has taken the time to give me them. I do appreciate it so much. I will share a story though of the morning before school when I worked on one that had alot of rules to add and you had to pass it on to 15 people and well it took me like 30 min. to figure the whole thing out and well I went to post and the whole thing disappeared. Kids were late to school and well it kinda made me not to confident with the whole copy paste add links thing. But I will try this one today so you know I do care. I don't think I will try the links thing though Lol.
Well I have been in a cake mood these last couple days. I promise they will all come together for something fun for you to see. I promise to share soon. I'm not sure how to put into words how much making minis means to me. And now that I have added working with clay to my list.
Okay.......more miniature baking today. What can I say I was in the mood to make some zero calorie treats to stop me from baking the real thing. We have been eating alot of cake in our house these days and well pants are fitting a little tight. I burn a wonderful cupcake scented candle while I was making these and well almost as good. There is a butter bundt cake and a layer cake with lime center and cream cheese frosting. Oh no I'm craving a piece of real cake again. Better go find some more clay. Mini hugs!
Well.... I want to thank Debbie for checking in on me today. I have had problems with my internet connection and well it has been hard not being able to get on the computer when I need too! New router added and things seem to be going good again. Yay!!! I actually have full bars of connection. I'm not sure if I have ever had that. Lol
I recieved this wonderful tea cozy from Rosanna and I'm over the moon with joy. This is so sweet. I love it. Thank you so much for this gift. I will treasure it. Your work is amazing.
Well ended up cleaning the real house more than the mini one this weekend. Oh well it can't always be about the minis. Here are some shots of the dollhouse on the outside.Hard to capture the color. It is located in a darker area of our house. It is a nice country green color. I did the landscaping myself. Not alot. But just enough. The stained glass windows on the side bay were done by talented artist Barbara Sabia. I have a wonderful door that she made that will be on a future featured project. Her work is amazing. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Back to cleaning. Mini hugs!
