CANDY COUNTERS

I will be exhibiting tomorrow (Sunday 28th November) at my last miniature fair of the year, York racecourse, York. I really enjoy exhibiting there as it is so big & full of top quality miniaturists. I don't normally get much of a chance to see what everybody is selling as it does get very busy, but I am hoping to have a wander around & see if I can pick up a few bargains because I know what Santa is bringing me this year!! It is going to be a very early start tomorrow as I have a lot of new minis to display & will really need extra time to make sure my stand is looking spotless, plus I don't know how bad the weather is going to be travelling there. We have had a few flutterings of snow, but not enough for it to settle, or make a snowman - much to my sons' disappointment. Everything was safely packed away & boxed, then I remembered that I hadn't taken any photos of the new candy counters & chocolatiers table that I have made recently, so I very carefully unwrapped these, quickly took a few pics & then packed them away again. Didn't want you missing out on seeing them. Have a fantastic weekend, Kerry.x.

Meet Mrs Claus...

MRS CLAUS WITHOUT HER CLOAK

MRS CLAUS WITH HER RED VELVET & FUR-TRIMMED CLOAK

Well I have finally got around to finishing my first poseable doll. Mrs Claus!! And I love her!! I must admit that she really was a labour of love, but I am so pleased with the result. Her deep red velvet cloak, trimmed with soft white fur, is removable, as is her basket of treats & apron. Her clothes are non-removable. Her snow white hair is fashioned into a bun with a few ringlets softening her features. She stands at 5 & 1/2 inches. I will be (reluctantly) putting her on eBay Monday night. I have also been busy making a few new items to take to the last two fairs of the year, a 'La Patisserie' display counter & a glittery, snowy, candy cane tree.

Enjoy, Kerry.x.

Cupcakes & New Dolls

Well, Halloween is over for another year & Bonfire Night passed by with little excitement, not sure if it's the recession or not, but Friday was not the usual 'big bangs' & constant explosions that it normally is, maybe people are finally being sensible with their money & not spending it on silly little fireworks that cause a moments amazement then disappear in a puff of smoke (sorry, but I am not a big fan of Bonfire Night & think they should only be sold to official organisations!!). We are now fast approaching the festive season & as usual I am getting into the spirit by watching endless Christmas movies while making my minis, I love 'The Santa Clause' trilogy with Tim Allen, I watch them over & over again & now know all three films word for word (sad, I know!!) I have finally made a start on making a poseable doll & when she is finished I will post pictures for you. In the meantime, here are a few new minis that will either be up for auction on eBay or taken to my next couple of miniature fairs. Enjoy, Kerry.x.
