More Christmas Miniatures!

It seems awfully odd crafting Christmas mini's when we've still been having some sunny weather - albeit, not brilliant this week - but certainly no snow, and no Christmas songs on the radio yet!

Still, I must admit I have seriously enjoyed making these miniatures, and I really hope you'll enjoy looking at them!    




  This Gingerbread Man Preparation Christmas table is simply adorable and would look amazing in any kitchen! The table includes rolled dough and cut out Gingerbread Men, a plate of finished and decorated Gingerbread Men, 5 Gingerbread Men cooling on a rack and a beautiful Gingerbread House decorated with white icing, peppermint circles, candy canes and tiny Christmas coloured balls. The tiny balls were applied individually to ensure a good range of colour and detail! All items are glued to the table.




Still feeling in the mood for Gingebread Men, I went on to continue this smaller Gingerbread Men Decorating Preparation board measuring a meer 3cm x 3cm. The board includes several Gingebread men, a plate of tiny silver balls and a handmade icing bag! All items are glued to the board.

This gorgeous little Christmas card set consists of everything you see in the photo, which includes 2 sealed envelopes, 4 loose Christmas cards and a selection box of cards (all cards in the box are glued inside.) This little set will look fabulous on a busy kitchen table, or sitting in the middle of the coffee table with a mug of hot chocolate waiting for your dolls to finish writing out their Christmas cards! The cards and envelopes are blank so that you can write your own messages and addresses!

I have had such fun making all of these items and am feeling very much in the mood for Christmas all of a sudden! More mini's to come shortly!

All of the above items are available in my Etsy shop.

See you again soon,

Going On Holiday!!

Hello everyone!
It's 9.08 here in England, in gloomy Lincolnshire, and I'm up, showered, dressed... but not yet packed and ready for my long weekend away with friends!! I'm going to Cromer for a few nights, sleeping under the stars. I'll be sure to take lots of photos and I'll share them with you when I get back!

I hope you all have a lovely few days!

See You Soon!

Anyone know what this cake is? And it's recipe?

Hello everyone!
We've finally had a few days of lovely weather, not good enough to warrant getting the shorts out yet though! I took a trip to Horncastle the other day and dropped by my Mom and I's favourite tea room, Henny's. It's gorgeous in there and they sell a delicious cake! The cake is cut into squares and is called "Ma's Cake." I've searched and searched everywhere for the recipe but I can't find it. :( I'm beginning to wonder if it's called something different. I'd love to try and make some myself, as the need to travel to Henny's every day for my lunch will become quite an expensive habit!!

I've included below some pictures of the last slice, obviously eaten straight after the photos!
The top is covered with a thin layer of chocolate. The base is crunchy, sort of rice krispie cake crunchy, or biscuity, but very chewy at the same time.

If any one knows the name of this cake (other than Ma's Cake) or the recipie for it, could you please let me know? I'd love to make this for my mom's birthday!

10 Things You Don't Know About Me :)

Since I haven't posted in a few days, I thought I'd do something a little different to miniatures, and baby bunnies. When I check out a new blog, I like to read the bloggers profile, information about them and read more into their blog posts (not just the most recent ones) to get a feel of the blogger and who they are. You can tell alot about people through their blogs. Good sense of humour, busy lifestyle, lives in the country/city, their favourite colour etc.
I don't know what you're thinking, but my blog doesn't really say that much about me. So I thought I'd let you in on a few things about me. Ten random facts :)

1) You may, or may not know, that I am 18 years young :)

2) I love my car! And it goes by the name of Gumpy!

3) My favourite colour is blue. I love pale pastels, but I also really like brights!

4) I'm very much a people-person, can talk and talk all day long - but I love my "me time."

5) I love my mom's lasagne!!

6) I used to horse ride, and had my own pony when I was younger. His name was Mr. Pickles

7) The house I'm currently living in is my dream home. I want to create it in miniature.

8) I spend too much time on the computer, and way too much time on Etsy and The Dolls House Emporium Forum!

9) I have a spider plant, called Spike. I have had this plant since I was about 8 years old. I love Spike.

10) Love the sun. Hate the heat. Love the snow. Hate the cold. Love the rain. Hate wet hair!

So there you have it :)

It will be really interesting to see you guys do this too, just 10 random things about you, lets see what you come up with :)

See you soon!
