Sneak peak

Im so ready for my internship to be over! I barely have time to sleep, I only have one day off and I'm tired!  Two weeks to go and my year long internship is OVER.

God has blessed me with the opportunity to counsel victims and families of domestic violence.
This was a great experience that I will forever be thankful for one year and 1000 hrs later Im almost at the end.

Ranting over let's talk mini....
In between interning and sleeping I had to find time to relax if only for one hour every two weeks.  So my bakery should be ready for its grand opening by the end of August.  I have also been getting my items ready for my give away, a date will be announced soon I promised.

Welcome come on in....

I decided to learn how to make my own goodies for my bakery. Fun and time consuming it has been. I find myself spending hours creating goodies that I am so proud of.

My first project were these brownies...

Some of them have caramel flakes on them, they are hard to see in the picture. The next batch will be better.

Youtube can teach you a lot I tried to make cinnamon rolls. Not bad for my first try I must say. I can't wait to make new ones, more gooey and yummy looking.

Off topic dollhouses gets very dusty. I couldn't finish my photo shoot in the kitchen because I need to take everything out and dust.

How about some coffee and some freshly baked sugar cookies. I did save a slice of cherry pie and a slice of chocolate mouse cake

I made this sign a couple of weeks ago. The frame I purchased from Michael's.

I'm blessed to have a Michael's within biking distance and a Hobby Lobby 20 mins away

I made this cake today I call it spring jolly ranch w/butter cream frosting and jolly ranch candy pieces on top.

Last I tried to make some candy pieces, such as lolly pops and candy sticks. I was tired by this time, I'll try again next time.

Thanks for stopping by, come back soon!

Looks like the bakery will be opening real soon......

I'm back.....

I finally have time for my dollhouses, school is slowing down. Yea!! 

I have been working on my dollhouses, The Emerson Row & The Summerville Cottage.

Because of my dollhouse ADHD I jump from one house to the other, lol.  

I would like to complete the bakery, but for some reason I cannot begin to start the project again. I believe the house is speaking to me (I'm not crazy) I don't think it wants to be a bakery.  My oh my what am I to do?

Maybe I should go with a tea/coffee shop. I'm still in need of chairs and tables and accessories.

I have more goodies that will go in the shop. I really love the colors I used.I built the counter that the goodies will be displayed in. 

Maybe once I finish with school this Aug I'll be able to think more clearly. 

Working on my dollhouses is so relaxing. Because of my busy schedule I had stopped working on my houses and I was stressed. So my family recommended that I start back working on my hobby again. Thanks family for the great advice :)

Welcome to The Summerville House, where the sun always shine brightly.

The resident that resides here loves to bake and sew.  She recently brought this cottage after living with her parents.  On the weekends she loves to go to flea markets and second hand stores to find more goodies to bring home to decorate with.

I have been busy making most of the items in this scene. I purchased the rocking chair, off of Ebay. It was my first time making hat boxes. I love the lil throw on the coach, it reminds me of the life size one I have on my chair.

This is her bedroom, I'm still working on this part of the house. The chair will not be apart of the room. I'm looking for a nice reading chair for her.

I added some more accessories to the kitchen. 

Well, thanks for stopping bye, until next time take care!

 

Summerville Cottage

To ease the stress of my work load I've been busy with the cottage. I named it Summerville, I wanted it to be a beach house but the design is going in another direction. 


The chair is a Chippendale Sofa that I put together, the pillows I made.  I also made the serving tray, the throw and the rug.  After a long day at school/work & interning when I get home I  make miniature goodies to release stress.  I going to add beams to the ceiling I think that will give the cottage a warmer feeling. I going to use tree branches.  I guess I'll be exploring my backyard!

What do you think of the bookshelf? Another project I made,  I need some accessories to put on the shelf.

A peek in the kitchen
Lets take a look...















Is that fresh baked goodies I see...

Welcome excuse the mop. I had to tidy up b4 your visit.

Have a seat may I offer you some lemonade and a dessert?

Because of the space I made the cabinet with the sink, stove and the refrigerator at the bottom, it's an all in one. The cabinet above is from "Michaels" I bashed it a lil and added a shelf to the bottom.

Thanks for visiting come back again....
