Meat & Cheese

I had the opportunity to make some meat and cheeses (and other grocery items) in 1:3 scale, and I wanted to share some of the photos on my blog!

Almost February!

Getting ready for Valentine's!

Here, have some!

I will be back with more 1:12 items this year!

Christmas Ornament

I just wanted to share something I made for a customer for Christmas last year- a words with friends tree ornament with "Merry Christmas" placed as a cross.

So sweet!

Meet Saige!

Happy New Year! I was having problems uploading my photos to blogger (excuses, excuses!) so I haven't been posting too much. I just wanted to show you my new doll, Saige. She is the American Girl of the Year 2013.

I just wanted to share with you some 1:3 scale sweets I made over the weekend.

Bigature

Look what we found at a candy store! This will be my Halloween Post ;-)

 

French Cheese

I have been so busy making Italian cheese for my Italian shop, that I almost forgot there was French cheese!

 

Brie is my personal favorite, but to tell you the truth, I can't really tell the difference between brie and camembert....

Magazine

I have been published in the Nov/Dec issue of Dollhouse Miniatures!! Find my Christmas potpourri tutorial on page 10!

New items

Here is a photo of some items I've been working on recently. I am preparing for a miniature show, so hopefully I will have more ready by then.

My personal favorite is the avocados and oranges.

My finger for comparison ;)

Dolls

 

I put Blair back in her box and Maru is not happy about it.

Figaro's

I need to update you on some new additions to the italian shop. I decided to go with "Figaro's" since it has 2 less letters than Geppetto's :-) Thank you to everyone who voted!

I made the store sign, but unfortunately it will have to be re-done (long story). I am thinking of a darker wood color than the black background. What do you think? I also added a "We are open" sign.

I also put price tags on the olives and fruits. Still need to make some for the cheese and meats.

Since I don't know how to make wine bottles (yet), I made boxes of wine instead. How slick is that? My husband says it's cheating...

I also have bottles of San Pellegrino and Acqua Panna. Do you recognize the silver cans? If not, I don't blame you...those are "illy" coffee tins. Not very happy with them, but at this point, I really don't care. 

Last big addition to the shop is fresh pasta! I shooed away the bakery items and installed a pasta rack and a prep table. Still need to make some more...

It looks like this shop will be opening in 2013...at least before the next Winter Olympics... I hope!

You've got mail!

I love getting packages in the mail- don't we all?

My italian shop has some delivery today- perhaps a new store sign?

Peppermint Bark

 Can't wait for Christmas!

Garlic and Pepper

I just wanted to share with you some 1:6 scale garlic and pepper braids I made.

I am so annoyed with my temporary camera. I can't even find the focusing "flower" button :( I guess I will have to bust out my lightbox for better lighting too...

Corn

 

I made corn today (1:6 scale) and my husband says it looks like a bugle.

At least it's a corn snack!

Anywho, have a great weekend everyone!
