Happy 2015!

Sun Kissed Oranges

 One of my favorite fruits!

Wooden Crates

I've been making some wooden crates for the fruit section of my Italian store. (This project is never-ending!) I think I've made enough to make a new fruit stall.

It's snowing here in the east coast! I just hope we get to enjoy spring before it gets hot!

Mini Miniature Show

I will be participating in the mini miniature online show this weekend. Come join us for a mini celebration!

http://aminiminiatureshow.weebly.com/

You can find me under my name "Minnie Kitchen" under the dealers section, "M-Z".

Opens midnight 8/17~8/20

 Also wanted to show you the "dole" and "chiquita" bananas I made :)

Pom poms!

I was so busy watching the olympics that I once again, abandoned my blog and minis... But I did get myself to make some pomegranates today.

 Boy did it take forever to make the halved one!

Fruits and Desserts

I finally made some progress on the "other" side of the shop. I made a veggie/fruit stall and displayed chocolate and pasta on the top shelves.

 I also added some vintage posters to the walls.

I still need to make cannolis and add a cash register...but who knows when I'll get to that!

Doll treats

poses with some treats made for other dolls

I made a new fruit board assortment with a bigger hand of bananas and added a mango and green apple.

Red Velvet Cake

I love making cake (in minis) so I am adding red velvet to my cake list. So far I have german chocolate cake.

I also made 1:6 scale blythe foods~ and don't forget that cupcakes and fruit are in the same food category.

Market Stall

Finally finished the bananas that were much needed at the stall:

should have taken better pics- oh well! Just glad that I finished it before the world ended ;)

Maru-chan has a big head...

Giveaway is here!

I won Drora's giveaway (market stall) and I wanted to tell the whole world! Thank you Drora!

I wasn't really ready to take a picture but I couldn't wait to show you guys! After I found out I had won it, I started making more veggies and fruits, but still not enough to fill the stall. I will be working hard to make some more-will update with a better picture.

Fruit Board

Finally made my first fruit board!

Have a great weekend!

Watermelon

I stained the picnic table, but now its orangish -so would like to make some changes.

I saw a picture of a picnic with a watermelon cake, so decided to make one.

and then of course I had to make the real one ; ) The one on the bottom right are half eaten ones.

B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

I went bananas yesterday...

The fun part of making bananas is bruising it up!

Danish Pastries

This is what I've been up to this past week! I think I made one a day. Started with the cherries and realized how much cherries I had to roll...and the next day I had the blueberries and that was two times (or maybe three times) the amount! No more rolling for a while.

These are the first pastries I made but didn't quite like the color of it.

chocolate croissants

I made these because I actually wanted one :) hehe!

Next on my work list : Mardi Gras cake!

Pineapple

I finally started the big "pineapple project" as my first 2011 challenge. Surprisingly, I got the texture on the 3rd try, but still need to make some tweaks here and there.

still need to add the leaves and the root/stem

1st and 2nd attempts

Tropical Fruits

Made some mangoes and papaya last night so I could take pictures of them in the morning in natural light. But it's pouring rain and no sunlight : (  It's time for me to get a lightbox.

I used polymer clay and pastels to color it up.

halved papaya and the rest in a wooden bowl

I never knew papayas were so bruised outside until I made them yesterday. It took a while just freckling and bruising it up!
