Nice to have you both here :)

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)

Welcome Dangerous Mezzo and Kristy :)

Nice to have you both here :)

Some cakes, 1:1 sadly :D

Wish I could do something like these from Fimo, I'm going to try to tackle my Fimos on the weekend, I'll then post some pics for your horror - I'm really bad with it and if something works out nicely, it's totally out of scale :D

As I haven't done any minies today either, here's some more food pics, this time some cakes - looking doesn't have any calories :D

First salty ones, sandwich cakes as we call them here in Finland, perfect party food :)

And then the sweet ones

I'll try to get some minies done this evening so you don't have to read all the time these 1:1 posts, sorry for that :)

Now to cook some chicken pasta - more food, sorry :D

(but here's the recipe, really easy and good - fry some onion and garlic in olive oil, add cubed chicken, fry, add full cream and estragon, soya sauce and black pepper, pour over cooked pasta and add tons of parmesan)

Welcome Michelle and Monika :)

Nice to have you here in my blog, hope that you have nice time reading it :)

1:1 food

No minies done today as after the guests left I was feeling so tired - only blog hopping and wishing I would be a millionare so I could order all these amazing furniture and silverware...

Here's what we ate today, I can tell you it was all good :)

Ice berg lettuce, rucola, cherrytomatoes, roasted pine seeds, olive oil, salt, pepper, aceto di balsamico and orange balsamico glaze

Aspargagus-minced meat pie - filling is fried minced meat with onion, garlic, salt and pepper, cheesy white sauce made with butter, flour and canned white aspargagus water, cut aspargagus, salt, pepper and Hungarian spicy red pepper, crust made with butter, flour and sharp Emmentaler.

I skipped the berrycream and filled the Devils food cake with white chocolate-nougat mousse and bananas and criss crossed some chocolate sauce on top of it, excellent I have to say :)

I didn't take pics of the other salads, but the Greek cucumber slices - seeded and sliced cucumber, olive oil, white vinegar, salt, sugar, oregano oil and wild oregano from Crete. The other one is so easy and good - canned mandarin slices and sultana raisins, that's it. I also had some herb baguette with cream cheese, Greek tsatziki spice and pesto. I'm stuffed :D

Some help needed - trying to find some Italian printables

As my Italian is totally turist level, I really can't find anything by googling. I'm after some Italian printables - milk cartons, olive oil labels, actually all food items, magazines, newspaper etc. They can be modern ones but old ones do also. Any hints? I need to fill my  Toscana houses fridge :)

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.
