Dollhouse Miniature Hydrangeas in Bread Box

I'm quite sure I haven't materialize this concept into dollhouse miniature. Hydrangeas presented in a bread box. So that's what I have been making these for a while.

The first one I did was a beige hydrangeas with a blue bread box.

I don't believe I had made beige hydrangeas before, so I was excited with this color ^^

Then the next one I made was a blue and white combination. 

More color combinations will be added, as soon as I have some more time^^

Have a wonderful week everyone!

1:12 Dollhouse Miniature Flora Oval Victorian Gift Boxes

I recently completed making a set of these 1:12 scale dollhouse miniature flora oval victorian gift boxes.

Using the same paper design as the background, I made the oval boxes. On the top of the gift boxes lies a simple pale pink peony flower arrangement.

This set has been sold, which makes me really happy. I'm releasing another one tomorrow, with just a slightly different tone of peony flower. Just subtle difference ;) Stay tuned!

Hope you guys have a great week ahead!

Dollhouse miniature sweet pink gerbera daisies in oval pot

Hi everyone! I've just completed this dollhouse miniature sweet pink gerbera daisies in oval pot. :)
I didn't think it would sell out that fast, but it is so encouraging, and so I'll be making another one more soon ^^

It's my first time making an oval pot and I do like this pot for flower arrangement. Oval pots does have a different feel from the usual square pots.

I'm also liking my new paper background design. It fits the color theme so well :)

There are a total of 10 gerbera daisies for the oval pot.

Lately, I can't quite muster energy to do much, except for making gerbera daisies...I must say. So my dear readers, you will be seeing quite a lot of them. 

Well, I hope these photos bring a smile to you. Wishing you a wonderful week. :) 

Dollhouse Miniature Flora Round Victorian Gift Boxes

I made these dollhouse miniature flora round victorian gift boxes lately. These aren't new designs, but I always make a few little differences to each piece I make.

I've recently also changed my printer as the old one went kaput. With the new printer installed, I realized that the prints are still a little different, when it comes to color. The new one prints softer color, which actually works to my favour :)

Added a pink rose and brighter pink ribbon to this soft ensemble. 

Available in my shop HERE.

I'm pretty quiet on social media these days, but I do post when I have new photos to share. I'm still checking and replying emails daily and do accept custom orders. I've currently completed one order and will resume working on a longer custom order which I have been working on and off. I'm so grateful to all of you who are so patient, and am always willing to wait for me to complete working on your orders. If you see anything that you'd like me to make but is out of stock, please email me instead. Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding. 

Doll House Cake - Romantic Pink Peonies Mini Cakes

Hi everyone, finally I have another piece of work completed, in between the other customised projects going on. This has taken quite a while to complete, but I'm glad I managed to as all the other trio romantic cakes in my shop has been sold quite a while ago. I have always wanted to restock some. I have more ideas in mind!

These romantic pink peonies mini cakes have a pop of lovely sweet pink color in the center of the flower.

Do you also see the layered cake in the background? I'm still trying to complete the cake stand before listing it ^^ It's also another popular cake that has been sold out. 

The cake is about 1.6cm tall. Width is 1.2cm at most.

Comes with a lovely glass dome cake cover.

This set is available in my shop here.

Dollhouse Miniature Pink Macaron Tower

Hi everyone! It's been another long while since I updated. The lunar new year holidays came and went. Just a couple of days ago, I received this in the mail.

It's a copy of the Florist magazine - based in Switzerland. My miniature flowers were being featured in a flower magazine and I was thrilled beyond words.

I'm grateful for the feature :)

I am mostly working on custom orders these days, and I'm very thankful everyone is patient while waiting for their items to be completed. 

It's been a while since I made a dollhouse miniature macaron tower and I was surprised I had enough energy to make 2!

I'm so pleased how they turned out. I'm still figuring out the whole photography situation. I took these photos at 3pm, where the sun was really bright. I thought I would have really bad ugly shadows, which would be the case at my old house. I'm very surprised these turned out OK. I'm not sure if it means 3pm is now my ideal timing to take photographs, but I'll try again next time.

The macaron tower in the background is a custom work for a client and is still a work in progress...I'll take more photos once I complete that! 

The pink macaron towers are always very popular. While making these, I thought of making blue macaron towers, which I've never attempted. I wonder if they would be as popular.

And here's another picture of it on the 3cm cake stand. It makes it look really grand. I'll have to restock those 3cm cake stands again soon!

Dollhouse Miniature Anemones Flower

Hi everyone! I'm back :) It has been a week since my Macbook was brought in for a battery replacement. During this time, I had been busy working on custom orders. I also had some time to work on this pot of dollhouse miniature anemones flower.

It has been a while since I made anemones flower, so it was refreshing to see how I would change their "looks". This time round, I made the petals more "open".

How do you like this version of anemones?

Dollhouse Pink Gerbera Daisies

I completed this pot of dollhouse miniature pink gerbera daisies yesterday. :)
I'm loving the curls of the tiny ribbon on this.
Every pot that I make is different, since I can't control how the ribbon curl would turn out.

I'm also loving the white and blue tile background. I think it's the first time I'm using that for my photographs. 

On another separate note, I'll have to send in my Macbook for screen replacement. I'm seeing horizontal lines on my screen, and the technician said it was a hardware issue, so that would have to be fixed at the repair centre. Which also means, no computer for 3-5 business days....I'll survive....

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! 

First roses since I moved

Hi all, I managed to make some roses for the first time since I moved to my new place, which is a milestone for me. I'm planning to use them for a christmas piece...so let's hope it works out. I'm also trying out a new time routine, which involves me waking up another hour earlier, so I can have an extra hour to craft before I start my very busy day. I hope through this way, I'll have more time to do work.

I also want to announce that I have a SALE in my Etsy shop HERE for items that are marked with FREE SHIPPING. They are basically molds, so head over to OTHERS section and look for items that are marked with FREE SHIPPING.

Dollhouse Paper Flower Kit in stock!

Hi everyone! It's been so long, but I've finally moved and hopefully in the next couple of weeks, I can settle down. I've been hectic with moving, taking care of my mother so I haven't had much time to do much crafting, and I've missed it. But I'm slowly listing some new stuff into my shop and first up are some dollhouse flower kits that has been restocked!

Dollhouse Miniature Milk Vase with Peonies

Hello everyone! It's already August...in fact mid August! I swear time flies. It's been a year since my life had a major change with added responsibilities. My house is almost completed with the renovations and I'm slowly getting the new furnitures to be delivered into the place. I should be moving in one month's time.

I recently completed this milk vase with peonies. Got this new pink wallpaper a couple of weeks ago. I haven't used a lot of really pink backgrounds for a while. But this fits really well!

Close up of the pale pink peonies.

I'm also thinking of making some blue ones, just because I think they would look nice :D

This set of peonies is available in my shop here.

Have a good week everyone! 

Great day for Photography and a Moving SALE!

Last Sunday, I had some time to take proper photos of my work. Immediately I thought of using my Dollhouse Miniature Buffet Kitchen Table to prop some simple stuff.

It helps greatly when the weather was cooperating! Everything is bright!

I think the dollhouse miniature teal cupcakes here are presented well on the table. Along with a bouquet of sweet flowers.

I'm pleased with the photographs. :) 

Have I mentioned that besides my caregiving duties, I'm also tied up with packing, helping my mom to declutter, organize her stuff because...We are moving! Hopefully in 2 months time!

Currently, I've just engaged a renovation contractor to do up my place, so that will take a bit of time. It isn't a brand new place, so the wear and tear was very obvious, and renovations had to be done before we can move in. 

You can imagine the amount of things I have to do...I'm trying my best to also allocate some time to pack and sort my stuff, and it's tough. To be honest, I haven't moved in more than 30 over years. I thought I will be sad, but I think I'm mostly too exhausted to feel that. Can anyone who is an "expert" in moving, share any tips? I don't know if "expert" is the right word even, but I guess anyone who has been moving quite a bit in their lifetime. I'd love to hear from you. Anything from dealing with the move emotionally, downsizing, decluttering, anything. My friend has given me some good pointers. He said, if I haven't used something in two years, most likely I won't be using it ever and I can toss/donate/give it away. That was a good one. 

I also wanted to take this chance to organize a moving sale, so here it is!

Items such as craft books, molds, clays are all considered as miniature supplies. Minimum purchase of USD$90 is required. Valid till 10 July 2018.

Dollhouse Miniature 1/12th Scale Kitchen Buffet Table

I've meant to remake this for the longest time, and finally managed to do so. Truly happy :)

This dollhouse miniature kitchen table measures 8cm tall, 8cm wide and 5.5cm deep.

I'm also slowly clearing some of my old craft books or magazines collection. Various craft books, inspiration books, cross stitch magazines. I'm listing them in the Clearance section in my Etsy shop.  Please feel free to take a look. I'll be listing them slowly over the next few days.

Also, I made some dollhouse miniature teal roses yesterday night.

I'm quite sure this is the first time I made teal roses. I did a search on the internet and most real roses are a little tad dark. I've made them a much lighter shade, which I prefer.

Now waiting for them to dry, and them attach them onto the cupcakes. I'm actually quite curious to see how teal roses look on a cupcake :)

Have a great week everyone!

Dollhouse Miniature Milk Bottle Vase

I had some time just the other week to transform this milk bottle into a flower vase. When I first made the transparent miniature bottle, I already had a vision of turning it into a flower vase. I wanted it white, as I think it would look charming. So, with a few coats of white paint, here is the flower vase! Sitting nicely on my shabby shelf, the size of the bottle is JUST perfect for 1/12 scale.

The flowers belong to a custom project which I'm still working on. I'm working on 5 roses at a time. I have...another 2 more colors to go before I will paint everything. But right now, the pastel shade of roses came in handy for this photo taking. :)

Milk bottle mold is available here.

Dollhouse Miniature "Love" Naked Cake

I made this dollhouse miniature "Love" naked cake, just in time for Valentine's day. Sooo so glad. I have never been in time for Valentine's Day. 

I remembered just as I finished this cake, I had other ideas for the Love word. So maybe another cake in the near future! 

I'm still here, busy looking after my mother. But I'm slowly finding my pace with everything. My mom is currently on hormone therapy, which means she takes a pill at the same time daily. She also has chemo treatment once every three weeks. She just started this regime a few weeks ago, and so far my mom is coping well.

Next week would be Chinese Lunar New Year, but we won't be doing anything special. Just staying home and everyone can rest, including myself. :D

I'm also working on a custom order for a sweet friend. I'm so glad she understands my situation and told me to work on it whenever I have inspiration or energy to craft, since I'm pretty much occupied with caregiving duties. I'm very grateful. 

Much more changes will be coming up this year...This is the year of change for me. But when things are confirmed, I can share more details. 

Hope everyone has a great week!
