Peaches n' Cream

Still playing with peaches!  Hoping to get to go to the show in Chicago this weekend, I would love to meet any of you who will be there!  It should be fun!

Peaches!

Warming up around here, everything is blooming and the sun is shining!   It makes me in the mood for summer and summer things.....like fresh, juicy, peaches!

Chocolate for Dinner!

 We have been working on a different kind of "mini" at our house and it has left me no time for clay minis!    We are working on adopting a little girl from China!    We have been swamped with paper work but are about done and are in for a couple month wait until the next round!   This is a little scene I made for an article I  wrote for an issue of AIM magazine.    So this will be a repeat for those of you who read the mag....sorry!    I hope to have some time in the next couple of months to work on a few new creations!    In the mean time, I hope you enjoy the chocolate table, you can't go wrong with a whole meal made from chocolate!

Easter Goodies!

I actually got a couple of Easter goodies made BEFORE Easter!  Yeah!  I am most usually a couple of days (okay or weeks...months?) after the holiday, which is why I very rarely have any holiday minis to sell!  Sometimes it is not just the minis I am two steps behind on, sometimes it is my whole life, some weeks it feels like one big game of "catch up"!  Oh well, it keeps life interesting....so anyway here are a couple of minis I finally finished BEFORE Easter!

                          (I took pics of this before it was glued to a board, this is shown just on paper)

                                   A little checked Easter board featuring all kinds of Easter breads..

                                                                       Dyed eggs of course!

            .........and more chocolate (because we all know you can never have too much of a good thing!)

                                     Chocolate (there is that word again!) cake with pastel roses..
.
  The roses are made of craft porcelain, they can be made very thin with this clay but you have to work like you are on fire, it dries so fast!                              

I hope your week finds you two steps ahead!  Mini Blessings, Kim

All American!

I took a little break from my pink theme and had a great time making an "All American" lunch, hope you like it!

Candy, Candy, Candy!

I have not had much time for minis, we are pursuing an adoption of a little girl in China and the paperwork is enormous!  I did FINALLY finish one little candy board.  It has all kinds of little, sweet goodies on it!  Hope you like it!

 Bottle Caps and Red Hot Fireballs...


Candy sticks, Gummy Worms, Wax Lips and Rock Candy.........

 Chocolate Ice-Cream sundae topped with a fireball................

Pretty in Pink Valentine's Board

Okay, I am kind of stuck in a pink theme lately....things are just cuter if they are pink!   Here is a little board I just finished (and I loved making it!)   Since I am on a "love" theme, I thought I would share one of my favorite verses, there is nothing comparable to the love God has for you!..

The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."  Zeph. 3:17


Pink polka dots and vintage Valentine's Day card.........

   An old fashioned Valentine's Day cone filled with sweet little  pink candy hearts....


                             a red velvet lined candy box filled with chocolate truffles.........
                                       
           Pink topped cupcakes with a hard candy in the middle, beside the pink rock-candy of                          .                                                                       course!...........
                                         
                           and a yummy pink cake surrounded by chocolate hearts to top it all off!

Breakfast in Bed

It is below zero here and we are expecting 5 to 8 inches of snow!  It is hard to leave my heated blanket in the morning!  How about a little breakfast in bed?......

                                          waffles topped with fresh blueberries........

                                   
                                            fresh fruit and a hot cup of coffee..............


                                          all on a shabby tray with beautiful vintage postcards......

Spaghetti!

Just a poem by Shel Silverstein and a little board of spaghetti!

Spaghetti

Spaghetti, spaghetti, all over the place,
Up to my elbows—up to my face,
Over the carpet and under the chairs,
Into the hammock and wound round the stairs,
Filling the bathtub and covering the desk,
Making the sofa a mad mushy mess.

The party is ruined, I’m terribly worried,
The guests have all left (unless they’re all buried).
I told them, “Bring presents.” I said, “Throw confetti.”
I guess they heard wrong
‘Cause they all threw spaghetti!

It's a Birthday!

IT IS A BIRTHDAY PARTY AND THE THEME IS PINK!!!!!!..............................................


The candles are already blown out on the yummy strawberry cake with fluffy butter-cream frosting.....


What is a party without ice-cream?  Strawberry-Cheesecake ice-cream to be exact......


Oh, did I mention the sweet vintage birthday card and the lollipop and last but not least...the  Hershey Bar?!


What a huge party....well, maybe huge is not the right word!



                 I just listed this birthday board along with a few other new creation on my CDHM gallery!

Merry Christmas!


 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.    
                                                                God Bless you, Kim

Chicken Soup for the Soul.......


As we come to the middle of Advent I present you with another quote and another mini....  
 
First the quote......

  "Advent is a time of waiting. Our whole life, however, is Advent -- that is, a time of waiting for the Ultimate."
--Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Now the mini.....chicken noodle soup...


 Carrots, chicken celery and noodles....great for a cold day in Iowa!


May we in this busy time of year, take the time to slow down and turn our eyes and hearts to the reason for the season, may we turn our eyes toward the Ultimate.

                                                                       Mini Blessings, Kim

                                                                

Advent........

I thought I would give you a cake and a quote  for the beginning of Advent....!

The quote-

"A prison cell, in which one waits, hopes....and is completely dependent on the fact that the door of freedom has to be opened  from the outside, is not a bad picture of Advent." Dietrich Bonhoeffer 1943.....

The cake-


                             Chocolate Marble Cake with chocolate glaze..........

                                         



                         May yours eyes be on the "opener of your prison cell" this Advent season !  
                                                                       Mini Blessings, Kim
