'Tis the Season

'Tis the season for gingerbread house prep boards!  As you may have noticed, I have been focusing on making a few different kinds of gingerbread houses in my previous posts.

In addition, I have added a few pictures of a few corn on the cobs!  I spent many, many hours trying hard to achieve the end result, but it was definitely worth it.  Perhaps I'll make more in the future, when my patience returns! ;)

Peppermints and Spearmints!

December is upon us, and it's officially gingerbread house season. I had a little fun recently and assembled 2 new gingebread houses: one is spearmint and one is peppermint. It's a shame I only get to make these once a year. :)

While I was at it, I also made a few delicate candy canes as well.

Bring on the Gingerbread Houses!

It's gingerbread house making time!  Considering how tedious these little structures are to make, I actually had a lot of fun getting back to making them.  After all, it's only once a year that I get to make gingerbread houses!  I am definitely anxious to design more, but here is one that I'd like to share in the meantime. :)

Early Happy Thanksgiving to all of my fellow readers from the United States!  I hope that your holiday is full of family and love...sending my thanks to all of you this Thanksgiving!

Delicate, dainty, and delightful!

A Few Thanksgiving Dinner Items

 Halloween has come and gone, November has arrived, and Thanksgiving is around the corner.  I'd say it's about time for a few Thanksgiving Dinner minis!

As you can see in the pictures, there is a succulent turkey, fresh pumpkin pie, and a golden platter of cranberry sauce.  Mmm! 



All items listed on Etsy.

It's only just the beginning of autumn, so here are a few more pumpkins.  There's quite a variety too--not just your typical orange pumpkins, but some dark striped green, white, and faint orange pumpkins as well.  Note: The leaves in the picture are miniature, not lifesize. :)

Also, in this post, I've included a few shots of a plump pumpkin teapot!
