So Bren has been my work desk companion lately...she's been sitting with her kitten George on my work light. Not sure why other than guilt I think. When my mom was here and helping me clean up, Bren got shoved back in her box. Not sure why mom put her away and not anyone else? (could be that was the only box she could find! LOL BUT anyways, I pulled Bren back out, changed her outfit and she's been enjoying a front row seat to watch my crafting. She wandered off for a while and came back with a cup of coffee and a plate of chocolate chip cookies! (I thought she wandered down the street to Starbucks!) Well turns out she did...sort of, the coffee she bought. But she was in my kitchen baking those cookies.
ME: How come I didn't smell them baking? I LOVE chocolate chip cookies
BREN: Well cause I made a 'small' batch, silly!
ME: oh well...I guess that makes sense.
Turns out a little later she wandered off for a while again, and this time when she came back she brought with her a gorgeous Chocolate Ganache cake!!! (darn her for not letting me take a bite! lol) Come to find out my Bren has always dreamed of owning her own bakery!!! So I set out to surprise her with a cute little apron. Turns out my choice of fabrics was perfect. Her name of choice for her future bakery...Hearts' Desire Isn't that fabulous!
oh my gosh, you are perfectly devilish to make that first pic such a macro! It looks yummy! Even the cookies look yummy, sigh, Bren is cute in her apron, too :)

Thanks Lynn! Ironically that cake is one of the 1st 1/12th scale minis I ever tried to make...well it was HUGE for that scale but is perfect for 1/6th Barbie scale. Bren has told me that she will be baking up a storm over the next few weeks! So I am sure her prowess in the kitchen will come up for your viewing pleasure then too!
ReplyDeleteit's so nice to have a doll to model all your scaled goodies !!! bake some more !!!
ReplyDeleteBan it really is nice to have a model! It shows off their size sooo much better. I will definitely be baking more soon...BUT first I have some dress pants to alter for my sister and then a commision of even larger doll foods!!! (A dear friend commisioned me to make some play food for her daughter's American Girl dolls!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome !!! I told you you should make your items and advertise them for dolls :) You can even model them with Bren on Etsy and sell them !!!
ReplyDeleteThanks sweetie, that's my intention...after I finish this custom AG order, (well honestly probably during as I'll need breaks now and then from it! lol) I intend to really focus on my 1/6th scale foods and accessories!
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool! Congratulations on your commission! I think the 1/6 scale would be much more fun than 1/12, maybe not as challenging, but more fun...this coming form someone not doing miniatures of course lol I am awed by miniature work.

Thanks Lynn, in some ways 1/6th is gonna be tougher since I'm going to want to put even MORE details in it! LOL
ReplyDeleteI say congrats on the commission too- how fun! Love Bren's apron- and I do think that is a fab name for a bakery!! :)
