Window pane cookies

Day 11 : window pane cookies.

These are a mini version of the type of cookies you can hang on a tree. Made of shortbread, gingerbread or cookie dough. A shape is cut out of the middle and a smashed up boiled sweet put in the space which spreads out when its in the oven.

Christmas tree santa

Day 10 : Santa decorations

I made these little Santas and angels about 7 years ago for the small Christmas tree that is in my craft room.

Each Santa is 1.5 inches tall and I put a small loop in the back of them so they could be hung from a tree.

Kitchen decor - fridge magnet

Day 9 : advent calendar

I recently did a post about the fridge magnets I made but I thought I'd add them to the advent calendar as they are a recent make.

One is a resin basket with a variety of different vegetables on it.

For the one with my name I used a plywood disc that are 6cm across with a small, strong magnet the back.

Christmas decoration

Day 8 : Christmas decoration.

A gingerbread house bauble!  I made a fimo bottom that fit into the bauble added a few candy canes and glitter and placed the house on the tray in the middle.  I stick the fimo bottom onto the bauble but the house is  blue tacked so it can be removed.

Miniature wall art

Day 7 : kitchen wall art

This is one of a series I'm making to go on my kitchen wall. This one has sandwiches and cake on it. I like them as they can show off my miniatures and I can see them everyday without them being hidden in a dolls house.

Sunday dinner

Day 6 on the advent show and tell is beef. As a typical Sunday dinner meat I'm showing the raw and cooked version. The cooked version was quite time consuming to make as I had to do make several different shades of clay from the red rare middle to the grey brown cooked edge. Then I did a test cook in the oven to ensure the colours were right before making the final piece.
