Just like a real living room is wont to do, my tiny Christmas room is getting messier by the day. The Nutmegs are whisker-deep in wrapping presents, so there are cute bags, papers, tissue, and presents everywhere. Ah well, it’ll all be worth it once the pretty packages are nestled beneath the tree! To get…

The miniature bakery and ice cream parlor room box is getting close to being finished! My miniature supply order came in with a glass-topped cafe table and chairs, rolling pins and cookie sheets, glass candy jars and more goodies. Here’s a little photo tour of what I’ve completed since my last post. Don’t forget: If…

Now that the sweets cases are beginning to fill up, I really wanted to show you a view of the bakery room box as a whole. It’s really coming right along! It’s tricky to take photos at eye level, because my camera doesn’t fit into the room, so here are some views from above, plus…

Today was a really fun day in the studio, because…well, because ice cream! How could I not have a blast filling a teeny-tiny ice cream case? Seeing the finished case next to the pastry one, which is also completely filled with miniature sweets now, gave me a huge feeling of momentum on this project–the room box is…

I’m at a stage of the exterior of the bakery room box where most of the construction elements are done. I’ll be adding little details, such as flowers, an awning, signage, etc., but the bulk of the building is complete, so I want to transition to the inside, aka, bring on the miniature sweets! I’ve been relying…

The miniature bakery is coming right along, and I’ve finished all of the brick work for the front and sides of the building–hallelujah! And for now, I’m simply not going to think about the fact that I have to do an entire sheet of bricks for the rear wall. 😉 I painted two tiny doors,…

The front wall of the bakery is coming right along thanks to a rather mind-numbing stretch of brickwork last Friday. It took a bit of hunting around at local stores to find the appropriate foam for the bricks, and then there was a bit of trial and error with the brick-making process, all of which…

I’ve been working on the furniture in the miniature bakery this week, and yesterday I finished building a counter unit with a “stainless steel” top (it’s actually made from aluminum). This counter will be in the rear of the bakery in the preparation area, and I’m not loving the idea of gluing shelves to the…

In between working on the miniature bakery and custom orders, I’ve been sculpting foods that are part of a collaboration I’m doing with Susan of Lush Little Landscapes. She’ll be displaying my food pieces in her lovely scenes, and I’m really excited to see this first batch of BBQ foods in its new habitat. Ready…

I couldn’t resist working on the miniature bakery room over the weekend, and I got quite a bit of the construction finished: wood panelling added to the bottom half of the rear wall wallpaper “hung” (I had some issues there, which I’ll help you avoid in the book!) molding cut, painted and glued to the…
