Filling a bakery counter

I have had a crazy week with a broken car and a bad cold going around my house. I finally finished a bakery display I have been trying to finish for awhile now. It really makes me happy to make these. I hope you enjoy the pictures. The weekend is almost here. I hope you are all well and happy. Join me for a cupcake or cookie? Mini hugs~

Rainy morning and buttery croissants

It is cold and icky out today. No school which = no extra running around for me. I made good use of the time and made some buttery croissants. Anyone want to join me? I will put on a pot of tea for us. These are clay so zero calories. I would be happy to run the down to the french bakery for some real ones. Happy Monday everyone. I think I will go try some with chocolate. Mini hugs!

A few little changes before it goes

Well the little table has found a home but not without a few little changes. I think I love it. Happy Weekend everyone. Mini hugs~

I heart cupcakes. Don't you?

This made me so happy and I hope it makes you happy too! I love pink. I love buttercream, I love cake , I love cookies but I especially love cupcakes. Mini hugs!

Creating a cupcake shoppe

Many times my real gets in the way of my miniature time and that can be very depressing. Other times after going through some time away from the miniatures I can get so addicted to them again that I don't know my real life anymore. During the last few weeks of cleaning after Miss Hannah moved out I came across some boxes of things I forgot I had. One of those things was this little cupcake shop I started and then tucked away for another day. Well I think its time it gets done and opened for business. What to you think? Note to self finish everything I start. Well we will see about that one. I'm sure going to try until real life comes calling again. Mini hugs!

I heart baking and making minis too

Yes Its true I do heart baking and I do love minis so put the two together and this is what you get. I have been having the best day today working with minis. Now I'm going to go bake a cake and make some real pink buttercream frosting. Ahhhh Life is good. Happy weekend everyone. Love is in the air Monday. I wonder what that will bring with it? See you then. Mini hugs!

Birthdays, life's changes and miniatures

Shabby kitchen for CDHM online magazine
Join me for tea?
Liberty's tea party in miniature
Emily, Hannah ( aka birthday girl) & Me
Okay so where to begin. Last weekend my daughter Hannah turned 21. She also moved into her first apartment. I can't believe where the time has gone or that she is old enough to have her own place. Needless to say it has been a tough adjustment. For us both. The move is only about 10 minutes away and I'm so thankful for that.

Still working on the bakery modeled after the real shop. Should be done and ready to share soon. I also put together a kitchen room box for the CDHM online magazine. I thought I would share a couple pictures here. I had so much fun with it.

I don't know how many of you saw Mercedes post about the little tea party she did for the adorable Liberty but I was so inspired when I saw it I had to recreate it in miniature. I'm very happy to say it was a nice distraction and is now on its way to New Zealand.

I guess that catches you up for now. I do wish you all a nice weekend. I hope yours includes some mini time. Thats what I have planned for mine. Mini hugs!

My house smells so sweet

One of my favorite parts of the Holiday season is the baking and sweet smells. There is nothing like sugar, butter and vanilla. Well maybe chocolate is pretty wonderful too. For the past week I have been baking , baking and baking. I think homemade cookies make very good gifts. I give them to the ladies that work at my bank, to my wonderful friends and family. My kids enjoy them too. My son just came in and had a couple for breakfast Lol. This year we had a new cookie cutter. It was the cupcake shape in different sizes. It was sent to me from Mercedes. Her blog Liberty Biberty. Thank you Mercedes for this fun fun new cutter. Those cookies were the first to go. I hope you are finding some time to bake the things you enjoy and share them with people you love. Mini hugs!
