Finally a full days work...

Hi Y'all..how is everyone today? I'm feeling good as we all do with the completion of a project, a good start on something due or the delight of a piece turning out exactly as planned. Today I finished a number of small pieces and made some headway on the three projects I would like to finish by September (have had all year to do it, yet here I am to-do list in hand)...Well lets look at some pics and I'll show you what I mean:

Been trying really, really hard to make yummy, realistic clay cakes. This is my best effort to date, yet of course I only see what is wrong. I'll spare you my critique. :) I had also wanted to do a white and cream with red accents scene..This cake was the first piece:

I have been making bakery items (think red velvet cake and key lime pie..) for the cart I'm making for the Sept. show. I made the cart from scratch using JoAnne Swansons' pattern. The first mini I ever crafted like that for sure. So I will cover this in white and distress it, add a soft green with white polka dot cover, some bunting and all my goodies. For now you will have to imagine; I just wanted to document the 'before' :

..and wheels,yah.

The other piece I hope to finish is a Smoothie Cart entitled "YUM YUM SMOOTHIES and juice bar". This will be shingled and covered with blenders, a scale, wheat grass and an abundance of fruit and veggies in big wooden bowls...That's gonna be a little tuff since I'll have to sculpt so many different items for the first time...Oh well, I'm ambitious when it comes to this stuff!

I made the picnic table from Popsicle sticks during our Edmonton mini group. I decided to finally fill it today or it would never get done. There are alot of things I would have liked to of added but you can only put so much! The apple pie is Kim Saulters and the macaroni and roses are ideas by Cynthia Sperin:

Do you like the Yum Yum drink? Even made it a label!

So that's what I spent all this rainy, melancholy doing. I also am making a Fortune Teller/Psychic tent and I've got all my pieces and plans ready but all the furniture is yet to arrive and I must check the floor plan and that all will fit before I go ahead and attach the walls..Pray for me..she is the only stall that counts..It's going to be amazing but I wish I had better skills to try more advance techniques..unfortunately I have no more time for experimenting. I have to learn to not be so fussy and hard on myself!! I'll for sure post lots of the Tent when it's finished...Probably a few peeks so come back and check it out. Now it's time for candy bars, a good movie and some snuggling.."Nighty Nite...
