Show and Tell Monday ~ A Birthday Gift for a Friend...

Couple of weeks ago, I came to know of a friend’s birthday (Marie) and I decided to make something special for this sweet friend.

I didn’t share the photos earlier because I wanted her to receive her gift first before I share the photos. It was meant to be a surprise…

Now that she had received her present, I can now share a couple of photos that I took!
I personally like the sweet clean colours!

Show and Tell Monday ~ Victorian Christmas Eve Cross Stitch

It has been more than a year since I last posted my cross stitch project. The last time I blogged about it was on July 27, 2008.

Sadly, I don’t always have time to stitch…but whenever I pick up my stitching, I don’t want to let go. Just today, I spent quite a bit of time on it : ) I still have 1.5 pages to go…..

I just took a photo of the progress today, as I wanted to see how far I have worked on. Not very much honestly! But I am hoping…that I can complete it by end of this year to make it in time for Christmas! Actually, the next reason is that I still have A LOT of other cross stitch projects that I haven’t started, but wanted to start.

Well, I have this beautiful French desserts cross stitch kit that I want to start..The colours are dominantly pink and just so beautiful! That most probably will be my next project. :)

Show and Tell Monday ~ New Pastries...

Each week, I go through different phases. Sometimes I crave for desserts, sometimes I crave for pastries. When the inspiration hits, I don't want to lose it. I have many work in progress going around. The major reason for this is due to the medium I choose to work with which is air dry clay. Nothing ever gets completed in 1 sitting, and therefore, as I am waiting for something to dry, I move onto the next thing. There are about 5-6 different types of work in progress lying on my desk . All of them are in the midst of drying. As such, it takes time to complete one thing.


This week, following the inspiration I got from raspberry tarts, I made the blackberry tarts. I love how the colours contrast each other. Black and red goes together beautifully. Both tarts are available in my shop : http://www.miniaturepatisserie.etsy.com
