Fresh from the Oven

Bread! It seems like I can never get enough of it. There are so many different kinds, each tasty in its own way. It's always a special treat to have the "good stuff."

I've always enjoyed testing various types of bread in miniature. One day I decided to just have some fun, so I spent two afternoons making bread. Here is my newest collection of french bread, baguettes, sourdough, and more.

What a Surprise!

I couldn't believe my eyes today when I discovered that I had reached 100 followers! What a milestone this is. You are all so wonderful, and thank you so much for being a part of my blog. I truly mean this. Your sweet comments and messages are always guaranteed to put a smile on my face and brighten up my day.

Once again, thank you! I can't wait to share upcoming surprises.

I have also been pondering a giveaway in celebration of reaching 100 followers....

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.

Leeks!

Well, I made my first leeks! They don't look too bad. You can judge them for yourself. I can't wait to add them to vegetable arrangements that I have in mind to make sometime.

Without a doubt, I have been making less miniatures since school started... that I have said before. My entire schedule has been adjusted. I can't wait to unveil some new surprises!

I have been very active for the past three Saturdays. I am looking forward to the upcoming weekend when I can stay at home, and maybe even sit down with my minis.

The bread-making prep board which is now completely finished. You can see a pile of flour, some wheat, brown eggs, one cracked egg, dough, a rolling pin, and a cooked and sliced loaf of bubbly bread.
