A Spoonful of Sugar...

Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down....!

I made these very tiny jars of old fashioned candy for Christmas. The jars were hand-blown (by my glassblower friend on the East Coast) and then I filled them with candy which I made myself (from polymer clay of course - I never use pre-made canes...!) Each candy is different - some have hearts, some have rainbow colours, some have Christmas trees or snowflakes etc. Then each jar was finished off with a silk ribbon and gold cap.

The photo above shows them sitting in a teaspoon - not a tablespoon!

There is only one of each. You can use them in your one inch scale (1:12) or even half inch scale (1:24) miniature scene as they're small enough. They measure only 9/16" (1.4 cm) in height.

Find them at my online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy store now!

Treats to leave out for Santa!

Have you caught the scent of freshly baked cookies from the Hummingbird kitchen yet?! I've just made available a brand new range or assorted cookies and candy on little handpainted dishes. Only one of each!

* As featured in the Christmas issue of 'Dolls House & Miniature Scene' magazine!*

All of the candy is entirely handmade by me (I never buy pre-made canes) and I make the cookies as realistic as possible through dedication to detail. There are gingerbread men, tree shaped cookies, chocolate chip cookies, ginger cookies, German loveheart cookies (Lebkuchen) and checkerboard cookies. The old fashioned candy and candy canes are very detailed and made to my own designs.

Hop over to my online Hummingbird Miniatures shop and find my OOAK (one of a kind) cookie plates before they go. Get them now and they'll be sent out very promptly to have the best chance of arriving in time for Christmas. :)

Easter Cake and Easter Chocolate

Good afternoon miniature community! Hope you enjoyed the photos of my Easter scene in yesterday's post. :) It was such a nice sunny day here in Oxfordshire, England and I had brilliant light with which to take my photos. The funny thing is I really think they look more like a nursery than a patisserie. Must be because my sister's having a baby and I've got all things baby on the brain! I'll be doing a whole baby shower range in the near future...

Anyway, here's some Easter chocolate and my original Daffodil Easter Cake created especially for Easter 2012. All of the below are currently available at my online store.

Don't forget to enter the COMPETITION on this blog (enter here) for a chance to win a free original Hummingbird miniature. It closes this weekend so hurry!

Peppermint Candy

Still in time for Christmas... Peppermint Candy in a Fine Glass Jar.

The jar is hand-blown glass and is filled with candy, tied with a silk bow and finished with a gold Christmas Tree gift tag. 1:12 (one inch) scale and I only made one, so if you like it then find it here :)

Hope everyone's staying wrapped up and warm. Not too cold here in my part of Blighty, although I did step straight in a puddle on my way to the only pub in this teeny village! The pub had a log fire though and the locals here are great. Funny thing is - everyone thinks I'm American. Guess 2.5 years living in LA changed my accent a tad and I didn't even realise...
