~ Miniature Creations ~

Afternoon friends! Our weather in NY has been so incredible, what a nice week I had making miniatures, designing, and even running errands. It all seemed so easy with the fresh air and the mild temps we've been having , I love it! :) Well as I said in my last post , I'm working a line of miniature kitchen items that I'm designing and while I know this process will take some time, I have to come up with the designs first and then get the approval of the manufacturer that they can create the items I design. I'm still in the very beginning stages, but I'm not very good at waiting, I want all the items to be available now! {I'm not very patient when it comes to wanting something lol} After all, I need them for my baked goods and creations too :)! I have all these ideas and then I think of a new bakery item I want to make and I can't find the exact accessory that I want it to go with. It's in my head, but doesn't exist or I can't find it. So, I use the ones I do love and have collected and found so far , or..... I create my own. This post is about what I've created when I can't find something.... It's just a few little items, but here goes :)

{ps: Here's the only secret I'm allowed to give away...Shhhh.... I want to have these made in every color for my new line}

Need: A sweet vintage styled cake stand, with parts of it's glass tinted a pretty pastel color, and the bottom of the cover lined in etched daises...

Solution: Make one myself :)



Need: One in Pink too :)

Solution: Tint the glass pink this time :)

Need: A miniature cookbook with a pink cover and featuring pink sweets and vintage looking details, must look well worn and used :)

Solution: Be VERY patient with glue and wish you had fingers the size of millimeters , mess up a few times with tea staining , but keep persevering and then somewhere after a few hours , lol, it works and you say: "Finished and happy!" {while you arch your back because you've been keeping your eyes 2 inches from your project for those hours!} But you've got what you started out looking for :)



Need: Pale pink shabby laundry basket....

Solution: This one is the easiest by far, for real homes and mini homes too! { But I know you know that lol } Paint an old basket the color you want, and let a little of the wood show through :)


Need: Craving banana pudding ....

Solution: Make it in Mini :) better for the hips :)

Well that's a little glimpse into part of my week, I hope you enjoyed! I'm back to designing and making cupcakes and cakes this weekend and a few pies too! I hope you have a wonderful weekend sweeties! I'll leave you with a little corner of a table I designed , I feel so blessed to do what I love and cannot thank you enough for coming and visiting! I'm hoping this weekend to get out and visit you all too!


Oh and I almost forgot, and I'm taking time to root for the Giants on Sunday too! I'm normally a Jet fan, but Sunday it'll be for NY :) Happy Superbowl! Did you know I love football? yep, totally! Hmmm, I'll have to try making mini chicken wings one day! Hehe , always thinking in mini :)

Have a wonderful day cuties!

Hugs and love!
