While working on my latest tutorial book, my poor shop was sorely lacking in new jewelry, so I’ve been busy making new pieces and getting ready for the holidays. Below is a little roundup of some new food jewelry pieces, and if any of them are out of stock as you’re reading this, just contact […]
Miniature Fairy Table
My dad sent me a cute fairy table kit from Fat Blossom Farm, and I went a teensy bit overboard while putting it together. 😉 The kit comes with little rounds of sustainably harvested wood for the table, chairs and base, plus acorn “bowls” and a bag of seeds and corn kernels to serve in […]

If you’re working on building your own bakery room box, don’t forget to check out the new miniature shop furniture and other accessories in my shop.

The Miniature Bakery/Ice Cream Parlor Book is Almost Done!
That’s right, we’re almost to the finish line. In fact, my birthday is on Saturday, and my hope is to have the book finished by then: a nice present for you and me! At this stage, all of the writing is done, I just need to create the table of contents, arrange all of the […]

Here’s a little photo tour of what I’ve completed since my last post. Don’t forget: If […]
Bakery Room Box: Finishing the Freezer Case
As the week comes to a close, I wrapped up the last case in the miniature bakery: the freezer case in the back corner. I decided to fill it with cartons of the bakery’s house-made ice cream, homemade ice cream sandwiches, and a party-size ice cream cake. I also made a rainbow layer cake and […]
Miniature Bakery: Finishing Up the Prep Counter
As work continues on the miniature bakery room box, I’ve finished the checkout counter, making a tablet-style cash register, a tray of business cards, a little plate of heart-shaped chocolate waffles dusted in confectioners’ sugar (samples for customers while they wait), and two trays of allsorts candies. I’ve just ordered some hooks for the wall […]
Dollhouse Bakery: Working on the Checkout Counter
I wrapped up work on the miniature bakery project this week by starting on the checkout counter, a long, low case with lots of display space. I wanted to feature sweets that were pre-packaged or otherwise ready for a customer to carryout with little fuss: things like candy bars, loose candies that can be scooped into baggies, […]
