Something Minty

As it is already December and nearing Christmas, I decided it's about time to blog about something holiday-related...so here we have a peppermint gingerbread house with a little bit of shrubbery!

'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! ;)

All available for sale on Etsy!

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.

A Touch of Ginger

Belated Merry Christmas and an early Happy New Year! Wishing you all the best in the coming year.

Unfortunately, I have not been very prolific in miniature-making lately. Things have remained steadily busy around here, and it's difficult to find an extended period of time to concentrate on sculpting. However, I have managed to make some little goodies here and there, even though it's not much. :)

I am looking forward to the New Year, and all the mini surprises it may bring! I am very appreciative of all of my followers and those who read my blog, and I'm very glad to have the opportunity to share my work with you!

A Little More Sweetness

I tried making a few (square) bundt cakes for the first time, and I was excited with the result. I've also been working on the popular round bundt cakes, which I will share in the future.

Time has not been on my side lately! I haven't had much time (or motivation) to make miniatures in between everything else that's going on in my life right now. Just can't wait for everything to get back to normal again.

While I try to find my lost motivation, here is a peppermint/chocolate cake and a lemon cake to sweeten your day. :)

Little Candies

Over the weekend I finished an order which included three gingerbread house prep boards. I have decided to share a few pictures of them even though they may be a little out of season. Why not? Some of you might have already seen it before.

Without a doubt I spent the most time making the candies for the jars. The rainbow dots and gumdrops were most tedious to create!! I don't even want to think of how much time I spent making the candies. In the end it always looks colorful though.

Last Saturday night I went square dancing. It was my first time, and it will certainly not be my last! I just love dancing.

Yesterday I went to my eye doctor for my annual check up (my left eye is weak). Unfortunately there was bad news.. the doctor told me that I will be needing a third eye surgery. I wouldn't have ever guessed! Now I'm just dreading it.

After talking about it for a while, we decided that early June would probably be the best time for surgery. But that means I can't go swimming for a while!

Let's just hope that I will recover quickly so that I can have a productive summer and get back to making more miniatures. :) Sounds easy.... right??

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.
