Good Sunday morning, up very early this am..and at work! Being the romantic that I am, sprung this little Vintage Paris styled pantry! This took two days to complete and is now up in my Etsy shop. Well here in the northeast it's suppose to be a really warm Sunday, hope you all have a very wonderful and spring Sunday!! Thank you to my two new followers this week! Thank you to Ruth too great advice!

 The little cookbook has actual printing and pictures on the pages..I fell so in love with it!!

Hello everyone as  always I am thinking of warmer days! Hope everyone had a good winter, and depending on where you live maybe enjoying some spring time weather! This little counter was such a joy to make. Sometime, I feel like making minis takes such a toll on my patience but then most of the time I love the way you have to "keep calm and carry on!" I just have to tell myself to concentrate and just go slowly :) In doing that I find my mind stays clear of everything...all troubles and worry just disappear ...gone! Them when something  is finish there is a great feeling of accomplishment! So I hope yo u enjoy this little bakery counter..it was a true joy and  labor of love!!

So...today was a day for wanting summer to be here. Thinking about the pool the garden, going to Kansas to visit my son and grand babies :). Sooo I have created this little summer set. Thinking of farmers markets, and fairs..this is what I came up with. The Lemonade was a little hard, I used liquid nails colored with food coloring, then I put pieces of lemons in there, then i blew bubbles in with a baby medicine suringe!

So after a very long winter so far, I am finally back to work on my minis. It all started back around Dec. 6th....by Dec. 12 my dear husband was in the hospital having surgery. Open heart surgery no less. Now I know they do by pass surgery everyday..but NOT on my husband they don't. So to say the least..we didn't have much of a holiday this year....but at least he is still here with us. He was VERY sick and even the Doctors said if he didn't go in when he did..he may not be here today. So I'm very grateful for the gift I did get :) He is still very sore still, but doing well at this point. My sister in laws were a blessing...everyone was very good to us during this trying time..so I would like to thank everyone. You know even when your only the caregiver..it leaves you feeling very vulnerable. So I have been fighting alot of different feelings lately, but tonight I put together this little Valentine Cookie Set which brought back some normalised emotion..hope you enjoy!

So today here in Ct. was a very rainy day. The rain just fell in sheets, the way it was coming down you just knew that will be snow coming down like that in a couple of months. It is also the 1 year anniversary of last year's Oct. snowfall that left us with no power for a complete week. Lol and I remember how I cried when it finally came back on, one week to the day.

(still thinking about those summer time fruity desserts..I love them!)

So although I had no intentions on working on minis today, I really could not clean, being I have three little dogs..and they run in and out all the time, I said no cleaning today, just will have to clean it over tomorrow. So I though I share what I did do today. Hope tomorrow is better :)

So the Holidays are creeping up on us

So here I am, I completely abandoned my poor Beacon Hill. I feel sooo bad about that. I have been working so hard trying to get my Etsy Shop ready for the Holidays,,,,and feeling a little good about that :) So here of a few things I have made that I would like to share.

I do so love making minis, and my mind just goes round and round about things to create. Alot of the time I have to remind myself that I am getting way ahead of myself. Most of all I love that it takes my mind off all other things. It's like just me and my minis in the world! I love it!  Then there are those times I have to come back to reality, have to eat, shop, pay bills, etc. I ALWAYS find my way back though....always!

I Love the Fall

So today is such a pretty fall day. It brings back wonderful memories for me, of the day when my boys were small. It was all about them returning to school after a long summer vacations. In those days kids didn't have computers, or video games to keep them glued indoors...no my boys played outdoors all summer long. Then it would back to school, with the trips to the apple orchards, and mom always chaperoned. After dropping them off at the bus stop, it would be home to do the chores, then always baking them an after school treat. Plan dinner..then to work on my crafts. There was always something to work on, making homemade xmas decorations...or maybe little dough people. No I wasn't a working mom when my boys were small, I was a stay at home mom. Those days were good ones., with dirty little faces and hands everywhere, with sooo much laundry and busy, busy days. How I miss them. The good part now is though, I get to watch them having those kind of days with their kids and I get to do things like this.
