Busy busy busy...........



Just thought I would say hello and share with you my latest creation. This is for something very special. I promise that as soon as I can share the exciting project going on in my oh so busy life I will. These little treats are on their way to New York and I do hope they make someone very happy. They are just a preview to something much bigger.
My thumb is doing so much better. Thank you. It just looks horrible now as I'm losing the nail. I hope this post finds everyone happy, healthy and finding time to be creative.
Brownie? Southern red velvet cupcake, or maybe a s'more cookie bar anyone?
Mini hugs!

I'm making minis again!!!!!!!!!!!!






To say I'm feeling much happier would be a under statement. I'm so HAPPY to be back making minis again. My thumb has finally healed enough to work with small things again. This weeks has started off with lots of cookies. Here are just some of what I made. I'm a big fan of frosted sugar cookies in my real life so I guess it only natural that I would enjoy creating them in miniature too. Can you smell the sugar? Come on have some cookies with me. The kids are still at school and we can talk about minis. Thanks so much for all the kind comments and emails the last few weeks. They have meant a lot to me. Mini hugs!

Filling trays........



I can't believe how much this finger injury has messed with my mini making. I happy to say it is healing. Just not as quickly as I would like. I will be back to making things again soon. For now I filled more trays. Very happy with how these turned out. Mini hugs!

Rice krispie treats!!!!!!


Not much new in my miniature life. My finger took me away from making minis all last week. :( Slowly trying to get back to making some things. I thought some Rice krispie treats might be fun to try. I was right. I displayed them on one of the adorable little stands Mercedes made for me. I think they are a good match. Don't you? Mini hugs!

My birthday and what was inside the cupcake tins




For everyone who was wondering what Mercedes put in those adorable cupcake tins. I opened them first thing this morning. First one contained the cutest cupcake cookie cutters. I can not wait to make frosted cookies with these. LOVE them. The second tin contained a cute little polka dot table she made. I really could not be happier. Thank you so much. I put some cookie sandwiches on one of the cute stand she made me and some wonderful chocolate boxes I purchased at the Tom Bishop miniature show yesterday. I also got a lovely J.Getzan bakers rack. What do you think? I have wanted one for so long and thanks to a lovely friend I have one now. So other than a horrible finger injury I had a perfect birthday. Thanks so much for all the wishes. They have meant so much to me. Mini hugs!

Birthday........




I received some wonderful mail today. It came all the way from Mercedes and Liberty's house to mine. They wanted to wish me a Happy Birthday. Yes, this Sunday is my Birthday. We won't discuss which one Lol.
Look at the wonderful things they sent. The wonderful drawing of my name was created by the very sweet Liberty. She just celebrated her 6th Birthday.
I was only allowed to open the 2 little square boxes and the wonderful cupcake tins have been driving me crazy all afternoon. You see.......... I don't get to open those till Sunday.
Thank you so much Liberty and Mercedes. Mercedes has made me many tiny polka dot pitchers. I love each and every one. And also some wonderful little cake stands. Of course I promptly added a cake to one for the picture. Wonderful.
Smiling big I will continue to wait till Sunday! Mini hugs!

Look what I found on ebay..........




I was visiting my old friend ebay today and look what I found for sale. It is a special room box I made and sold to a wonderful lady back in 2006. It was such a fun surprise seeing this again. I had so much fun creating it. There is 5 days left and here is the item # 270611597440. There is more pictures there. I called it " A place of my own" And on the frame it says " Let the beauty we love be what we do". I love that. I hope you enjoyed this visit to my past. I sure did. Mini hugs!
