More albums/books and some baking

Here's what I've done today - it looks so small amount, it's amazing how long the minies take time to do!
Albums
Bakings
Finnish buns
Baquettes and Finnish dark bread
Potatoes, unwashed :)
Waffles with cream and strawberries
All the bakings are made from salty dough which contains equal parts of flour and salt, then add some oil and water. It was the first time I dried to do anything with it and I was really positively suprised :) The texture is more close to the real baking than with polymer clay but it's not as easy to work with. To do the dark bread I added lots of cocoa powder to the dough. It was such fun, that I think I'll continue to experiment with it what you can add to the dough etc. Just make sure that you don't have any cuts in your hands, I have and it was not too nice :) And be aware if you have dogs - they seem to like this stuff some reason, I had them accompanying me and drooled all over kitchen floor...

Tomorrow is the drawing day :)

Last minies for today

or actually the first ones, as it's over midnight here :D

More books in smaller size, a kettle holder, a duster and a thread spool.
Now to dreamland or I will be like a zombie for the whole day :D

Finally I got some minies done :)

Here's what I've done today and hopefully will still get something done.




Those sticks are supposed to be some kind of medieval weapons and underneath are woolen throws.
Now a cup of coffee (and a cig) and them some more minies :o)

Todays minis

Here's what I got done today after all the cooking

The coffee cans and the magazine are printables, the kitchen "ladder" is made out of popsicle sticks and balsa and the log basket from thick paper. I also made the plan for the Gray houses kitchen, now there's tons to build for it, the biggest problem being the fridge.

Tomorrow I'll be having the guests over so probably won't get anything done.

Today's last DIY's

Here's some stuff, don't really should I show them here in order to embarass myself and make you all laugh your guts out...

duvet and duvet cover


a footstool, picture, fruitbowl and duster (it's a bit big)


"Union Jack"
picture and wash bin

The bin and picture turned out really bad, so they are going away. Good thing is that one of my friends niece has a dollhouse and I can give all the not-so-good-stuff there for her to play with :) And it seems that she's going to get lots of things :D

DIY for Rosey Beach Cottage

Now at least my Primrose has a name - Rosey Beach Cottage. It's situated on the beach area, but the lady living there loves roses, so there you go. I had to come up with an excuse for my crappy DIY so the lady there loves to shop in fleamarkets and paint & repair the stuff herself although she's not that good with it :D

pinwheels (they actully work)


pillow cases


a rose picture


Savon rose sign


The pictures are printed from this fabulous site: The Graphics Fairy

Some DIY

Here's some DIY what I've done for the beach house:
(The pics are again a bit poor due the lighting, sorry for that)

Baking trays, soaps, dish cloths


Painted some flower pots and did some nichos

Covered a bench, a basket (it was bought one, painted it and did the lining) and a crown done by Michelle's instructions.

Oysters

Today almost all I got done were these oysters (and 20 of their friends) and some parsley:


There is still lemon vedges missing, but I think that I need to practice a lot before even trying to do something so difficult. The oysters aren't as nice as I wanted - I realized that my gray Fimo was too light.

I also started 3 bread boxes, now I just have to figure out how I'll do the lids. I also have to try to find some nice black and white labels to glue on them, as I think that my handwriting would ruin them :)

Some stuff for the dollhouse(s)

... which I don't have yet :D

                                                   palmtree


orchid (going to Hanne)


white muscari (going to Hanne)


begonia (I have to change the flowers at some point)


This begonia pot is the one that I was agonizing with for an hour and when you look at it, it really isn't worth of it :D


some easter-stuff for Hanne





And some soaps (they are real ones)



And some Christmas things

fruitcake


sheepskin


I made some cookies also


some jugs


and something creepy
