Greenery, Baked goods, a little Modern flavour..and my dogs..

Yo Y'all! Just gonna jump right in and say how pleased I am to open Blogger and see that I now have 19 followers! Thank you all for following and offering comments, advice and encouragement. Too Cool! So I'm going to do my part by bringing the eye-candy! Here's what I've been making:

With a tut by Minieden I made this Aloe. I know it's a monster..smaller next time.

I was inspired to make a cottage settee. Well, it's not what I'd planned but it turned out okay with some pillows I made from True2Scale. Really need to learn some other distressing techniques for sure! But I'm tying:

Next up a strange interpretation of a Halloween themed cake, white buttercream icing with vanilla sponge, topped with a peach and black dipped fondant rose..

Now my version of a Rocky Road Chocolate Cake and cupcakes; with marshmallow icing, mini marshmallows, chocolate chunks and drizzle, covered with crunchy walnut pieces! (God it's late and I'm sooooooo hungry! Can you tell???)

One last food item before new project talk...Anyone love jelly beans? Here are a few strawberry sponge cupcakes just for you!! And a mug too!

Before I go I have to tell you about my mini groups' annual project coming up: We are making an Attic Room Roombox. I want to make two; One a very Modern Craft Room with lots of color blocking and bold patterns with simple lines and one or two very contemporary furniture pieces, the other a 'White Room' with tons of creams, whites, other neutrals and antiques like crowns, candelsticks and angel wings. Y'all know I adore shabby chic/cottage/romantic styles the most but Modern miniatures are a close second. Along those lines I really love anything Japanese or Asian and thanks to a great mini galpal I have a few new pieces in my collection. Have a look at what I got:

A mini Buddha and a little ebony elephant! The first just over an inch, the animal is just under.

 I was lucky to get the Asian set, the tallest piece is 2.5 inches, the smallest an inch. The lovely 1:12 wood set I couldn't pass up for some reason. The scoops and cups are def playscale so I can use them when I fnally get a BJD and my Miniio dollhouse. Oneday..*sighs and smiles.

This last pic with the cupboards and drawers looks like nothing now but I plan to paint them white, add paper prints to the front of all with different bold paper prints, line the drawers and add delicate drop pull knobs and handles then place them in my mod craft room with a chandelier and tons of cupcake art! I can't wait! I love feeling inspired ...

So that's about it. I've got about 2wks till our Dollhouse Mini Show and sale. Two pieces are finished..one not even half done ( EV miniatures JUST mailed my $1100 worth of collectables. She said she'd mail it in June..then expected me to throw in for the EXPRESS mail I demanded since she's so late. Won't buy from her again. On the other hand..Jennifer M. Sutherland who made my Psychic doll paid $75 out of her own pocket  to get her piece to me on time! I'll be sure to promote her work at the event!) and one left unfinished. Might just show it as is: the smoothie cart. I'd like to wait till my fruit and veggie work is up to par before I show it. So I'll be doing a lot of work last minute..praying my stuff gets here in time! Of course y'all will get to see it all right here when they're done.

Right now I've got a crusty roll with a BLT and mayo center, some salty potato chips and a really great movie to cuddle up and watch. So that's where me and the girls are heading: Oh what the heck let's see them too..May I present:

LayLou

Her mom, Penelope (Nellers)

And my Asian princess ... Dita!

Minihugs and BIG love From all of Us! (Hope you like big wet puppy kisses! I do!) xoxxox

PS: In case your wondering here's a couple shots of me so you know what I look like:

Getting old but still pretty cute! LOL LMFAO! Kisses!!
