Happy New Year!

Happy new year's eve everyone! It's still officially 31 Dec as I write this blog post :)
2018 went by so quickly. Lots of changes on my end this year...from moving house (which was a big one and it took a lot of time and energy) to finding a new work schedule to fit in all of the caregiving duties and hospital visits. I'm still figuring things out honestly.

Some work in progress...

It's been a while since I made larger flower arrangements and I surprised myself that I could find the energy to make these few stalks of flowers during the quiet holidays.

Whilst making those peonies, I decided to offer them on a per stalk basis, so if you're interested to get some, please head HERE. It will be for a limited time only WHILE I still have this colored clay. All my colors are handmixed, so if that particular shade is gone, I will move onto the next color.

Here's wishing all a Happy 2019 and may you have a wonderful year ahead! 

Mini Gingerbread House

The return of the mini gingerbread house...

Made this the other day. The cobblestone roof top is just something I couldn't resist making, thus I had to make another one. Just in time for Christmas this year.

I have another older design which I want to revisit. I'm slowly gaining some energy and strength after falling sick for most of November, hopefully I'll have some time to make another gingerbread house design this month.

I've a feeling I will STILL be making Christmas items even after Christmas is over... LOL 

But I don't really have a deadline, so why not? :D

1/6 Scale Blythe Cake Shelf

I've finally completed this 1/6 Scale Blythe Cake Shelf, which is a customized item for my sweet customer. This has taken me the longest time to make. For the longest time, I felt like I wasn't making any progress with it. Not that I wasn't, it was just that I had very little time to put into it per sitting, and it did require painting works to be completed before I assemble some of the wood work. I figured long ago that it wasn't workable to paint all at once after I finished building it, so painting comes into the picture and and when needed before I proceed to the next step.

This shelf is 16cm wide and honestly it will be the largest I'll make. Any wider than that would be a major challenge. I think I'll make another 11cm wide shelf and list it in my shop in the near future.

So last night, I quickly made notes of measurements, so that there will be future measurement references.

Now, I'll have some time to make some Christmas items :))
