1:6 Playscale Mixers

Ok, so I finally worked up the nerve to paint these little cuties.  I just had to have one in Pale Pink & Aqua Blue.  These little mixers look so much like the real-life KitchenAid Mixers and I am absolutely in-Love with them.  They were made in the 1990's and are extremely difficult to find anymore.

I made alot of customizations to them.  They were painted, and then glossed.

I adjusted the bowl so that it is removable, this way the paddle can be showcased too.

All the black knobs and really tiny screws were added and then I installed the cords with silver-tipped plugs at the end.

The tiny screws are from an old broken laptop I took apart just for the screws...lol.  

The thin white cords and plugs were from new ear-piece speakers I took apart, and all the little realistic pins and levers were from pieces in my sewing and tool kit.

1:6 Playscale Baking Hutch

I made this wonderful Baking Hutch and Table in 1:6 Playscale Size, along with some other items.

It's the perfect piece of furniture to display my 1:6 Mixer Collection, Cookbooks, and other baking essentials.

The Patterned Paper Flowers I made this morning to complete this sweet little table display.

French Farmhouse & Cottage Minis

HaPPy New Year Everyone!  I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday!

I have been busily working on some new miniatures with a French Farmhouse / Cottage theme and am so happy to have completed a wonderful little set.

I have wanted to try my hand at making some miniatures with waterslide decal transfers but was a little hesitant because of the abundance of them on Etsy these days... ;o) 

So I really needed to find some inspiration for something a little different from everyone else so that I would have something unique to offer mini collectors.  I found some really wonderful Vintage French Plates that I absolutely would just LoVe to own in real-life... and just knew they would be the perfect thing to create in miniature.  

Here are a few pictures... I hope you like them :o)

 

Wishing you a SWEET Christmas!

I promised myself that I wouldn't go all christmas-y, but then I found these amazingly Lush Flocked Spruce Trees and just couldn't resist!  I made one for myself... and it just makes me sooo happy :o)

I made one in a 9" inch size and a smaller one in a 6" inch size, decorated with smaller sweets to suit its' size.

You know... I'm always late to decorate at x-mas time... I also buy last minute Christmas Gifts for my kids too.... I can say that I'm going to get it done early... but that just never happens...lol

Cupcake/Cake Display

I enjoy making miniatures... but the photo taking... not so much...lol  So pictures of my kitchen, handmade pantry and display racks are long overdue.

Now... these vintagey wooden display pieces... I just made these yesterday, along with the cupcake/candy wrappers.... and boy do my fingers hurt from shaping them.  I think I made about 130 of them. Yes, I know that sounds crazy... but once I got going... I just couldn't stop... it was very therapeutic to make them over and over... and I figured if I get them out of the way now...I won't have to make them for awhile.

Anyhoo, the wrappers will be perfect for displaying chocolates, candy and yes... cupcakes too.

The Cucpake/Cake/Pie Display is very versatile and can sit on top of a round table or used separately on top of a larger table with other items.  I will have so many uses for it and I just think it's such an interesting and unique display piece.  

Ok, so it's back to making miniatures for me, I hope you enjoyed the pictures :o)

Still Filling my Kitchen Pantry

I'm still working on filling my kitchen pantry, fridge and freezer and have made these wonderful new items.

They are so teeny tiny and it's so tricky to get a clear picture of them... as they are so crisp and clear in person. 

I love that I have most of these brands in my real-life kitchen, it's so cute to see them this tiny.

They really do add just the right amount of "lived-in" color I was looking for in my mini kitchen.

Filling my Kitchen Pantry

I wanted to fill my miniature kitchen pantry and made these wonderful filled open boxes this week.

I just love how they add so much color and fun and instantly make the kitchen look "lived in".

They're just too cute to keep all to myself... so I made some extra ones for my etsy shop too.

Now I just need to make some fun things to put inside my fridge too and I'm all set ;o)
