Valentine's Day? Is it that long since Christmas!?!

Now I know I've been away from here for a goodly while, but after spending the day in bed ill on Christmas Day, recovery seems to have been in fits and starts . . . this pc I use - it's up in the converted loft space; and soooo cold, during the snowy, hard frost weather we've been enduring - that I couldn't bear to be up here! Anyhow, it's warming up nicely now; and so I hope to indulge my blog some more; and more frequently {:O) Meantime, I'm sure Kiva's been keeping you entertained, I said in previous posts that 'Kiva's blog will be more entertaining than mine' and it is!

Anyhow, for the more romantically inclined of you out there, here's a little something I created for this weekend's special day . . . catch you soon!

My husband creates the wood turnings BTW - and this one is Ebony - mine, mine, mine! Cheesecake is up for sale though {:O)

This is sooooo tiny! Love it! Only have the one though, I don't enjoy making 'sweet treats' as much as the other minis I create . . .

Bye!

Two Of The Houses In My Own Collection . . .

After seeing Ron's beautiful buildings, I thought I'd post this - I have two 'Tudors' both 1:12 scale, then a further two houses in 1:12 that are unfinished; and then two vintage 1:16 that I'm not sure what to do with, but can't bear to part with them . . . these two are my favourites though {:O)

Panettone!

Still in that festive mood 'mini food' wise . . . like this for real too! I actually like it toasted with butter - does that sound weird? Whatever, I like it {:O)

Still excited about my IGMA Artisan Status . . .

Festive Piccie . . .

Thought I'd add a little 'festive' piccie to get us all in the mood for the first of December tomorrow . . .

falalalala-la-la-la-lahhh!

Kiva's Gala Apples . . .

I think these are Kiva's BEST apples yet! My favourite anyway . . . everything is just so perfect!!! You can taste them in your 'mind' just looking at them - FAB Kiva!!!

Thought you might like to see this link {:O)

The food was 1:48 scale (quarter scale) and I created it for Food Delivery Company, 'Ocado' to launch their Christmas Delivery Dates; and the launch of their toy miniature delivery van, that's available online - they deliver for 'Waitrose' up and down the UK!

I really enjoyed the whole experience . . .

A Fish Of My Own . . .

This was a little tricky, as the person who commissioned me to create this Scottish Salmon, wanted to be able to pick it up and look at it all the way around!!! As well as be able to lay it on a table as though freshly caught and ready to be cooked . . . created with the new Fimo - it's so soft to work with! Well worth the effort though {:O)
