Today was a day of signs and awning in the miniature bakery. Let me take you on a tiny tour of the new details I’ve added… I spent a good deal of time on the side wall of the bakery, creating an awning and vintage ice cream posters on the walls (the bakery’s proprietor and…

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.

Today, I finished the last of the miniature cakes for the cake case, adding to the batch I made yesterday. I’m so excited to see the room box fill out, and next on my to-do list is the counter where the cash register and impulse-buy displays will be. Once this counter is done, the room…

My miniatures shipment just arrived, and I’ve been arranging some of the new pieces to see how they fit into the room layout. The biggest addition is the pair of bay windows that I’ll be adding to the (as yet unbuilt) front wall. I’ll probably wait to paint them until I get my urban diorama…

The book is nearing completion, and I’ve finished all of the writing and the layout as of yesterday. The writing has been dropped into the layout, and tomorrow I’ll be working on dropping all of the project photos in as well. There’s a small handful of photos that I need to take again, because I’m…

It’s always exciting for me when I finish the cover of a book I’m working on; somehow it makes everything feel more real. I spent all day yesterday working on the writing, and I’m continuing with that today, so I hope to have a significant portion of the text completed before the weekend. In the meantime,…
