A very mini Christmas

Amazingly I've actually done something that I said I would do - the pictures of my miniature Christmas house, with all the pieces that I made. :)

First the beaded window garlands.

Fimo (Polymer clay) food - salmon mousse, pork pie, cheeseboard, sausage rolls and meat platter.

Gingerbread houses, every year I say I'm going to make a real one maybe I will this year.

Christmas cakes.

Christmas pudding, mince pies and yule logs.

Cheese hamper and Dundee cake hamper.

I do have a complete Christmas dinner made of Fimo but that is in my Fisherman's cottage.

Now for the decorations - a cross stitch robin.

Fimo again (I really did love playing with Fimo, it's very relaxing) -Snowmen, bell, candle centrepiece.

In situ - Mrs Claus in the shop.

Santa in the grotto.

The restaurant.

Tea room.

And finally the front of the house.

Now some of you may think I'm a little strange but dolls house are very addictive. I had my first 'grown up' one 6 years ago and now have a dozen or so! I found I could incorparate all the crafts that I liked to do, including crochet on tiny, tiny hooks! They were also very therapeutic for me when my mum died. One day I will take some photos of the insides of the other houses, at the moment they are rather dusty and I have no time to dust!

Can you believe it will be Christmas day in 2 weeks time, scary! I haven't wrapped any presents or written any cards yet. This weekend I want to make some Boxing day chutney, cranberry fudge and mint crisp, put up the outside lights, finish the sewing for next week's produce/craft market as well as all the housework and shopping, no rest for the wicked as my mum would say!

Have a great weekend x
