The end of the blog

I have decided that I am not going to update this blog anymore. I've tried to keep it updated in the past and failed as it's almost the forgotten part of social media that I use for my miniatures and business. I may decide to continue blogging in the future so I'm not deleting it, but I forsee a long vacation. 

I'm still using other social media and the links are below. 

Facebook :The facebook page is the sort-of-blog where most of my day to day things will be.   http://facebook.com/magentaminis

Instagram : Instagram as always has pictures not only of the miniatures but of my other crafts and life.

Another reason I haven't got much time to spend on the blog is that I started making and selling other craft items. Made from polymer clay my recent makes include pendants, charms and food jewellery. If you are interested in taking a look these links are below.

Roses

One of my purchases last month was some pearl sculpey, which I've made into roses.

Roses in a bottle cap. 

Now I've started putting them onto cakes.

New house, new craft room

I've moved into a new house which is larger than my last one so I have given myself the luxury of a craft room. This year so far has been quite chaotic with packing and unpacking as well as doing a lot of DIY on my new house before I finally moved in last week.

I also bought a mini oven to cook the miniature models in rather than using the cooker in the kitchen. 

It's very tidy as I haven't had time to make much yet, I'm still working on finishing bits in the house before I sit down and work on lots of things that I've wanted to make but haven't had the time to do. And yet again that includes this blog as it doesn't get updates as often as it should and that's something I should do. 

Vegetables

Day 15 : vegetables.

I love making the leeks even though they take a while to make.

Day 14 : Christmas cake

I haven't made a real Christmas cake this year, but I have made this little one for the dolls house.

Another Sunday roast joint. Made in 1:12 scale from polymer clay,  pastels, paint and varnish.

Day 12 : Christmas canes

Different canes ready to be sliced with Christmas motifs.

 Ps it's very very dark today and I can't get a really good clear picture. I'll try again later if the rain ever stops.
