Belated Merry Christmas

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas yesterday!

It has been hectic around here, so I haven't had much time to update my blog. The weekend was enjoyable, and I spent a lot of time with my family.

Now that Christmas is over, I have to get back to filling out my orders.. and to think that I thought things would slow down a bit. It's hard to believe that 2011 is almost here!

Until my next post...

Poinsettia

Here is my first attempt at a little poinsettia plant. There are five flowers total, and they should have been darker red... but I'll know next time!

I have a cold right now, so it is very difficult trying to sculpt minis and occasionally blow my nose. I am just glad that my cold will probably be over by Christmas.

Time to work on my miniatures again!

Making & Baking

At last I have downloaded the pictures of my newest Christmas cookie prep board!

As you can see, the board is complete with a rolling pin, a sack of flour, rolled-out dough, two dishes of red and green sugar crystals, a bag of icing, and of course the finished cookies on a little white doily.



The board!




Christmas tree, gingerbread, and star cookies.




Sugar crystals!

A little closer..

The dough!

At last... a closer look at the handmade rolling pin.

Gingerbread House

Now here is a unique little board! This gingerbread house prep board required a lot of time as usual, but it was definitely worth the final result.

Since Christmas is coming up, I thought it would be appropriate to share my little board with you now! Enjoy.



The house in the making, icing bag, rainbow candy canes, peppermints, spearmints, gumdrops, and rainbow sprinkles.
