'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.

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.
