I made these cookies using Betsy Niederer's tutorial on the CDHM forums. It was pretty straightforward and simple, but whoa! So time consuming! I don't know if it's because I made as many cookies as I did or if it was because I insisted on colouring the bottoms as well. My back complained a lot last night.

I managed to burn three of the cookies when trying to figure out how long to pop them in the oven for. I finally settled on 40 seconds in the end. I think I need an oven thermometer. :< I have no idea how accurate my little toaster oven is.

The tea set is the Megahouse Forest Tea set that I got from Labuan :D I've recently realised how few plates and things like that I have... I love Re-Ment and Megahouse plates and tea sets <3 Need to get some more...at some point in the future...a distant point... :(

I think I'll try to make miniatures in playscale or something close to it. Scales confuse me because I'm usually not sure how big the original item's supposed to be in the first place.

Anyway, next project: gingerbread house!

And if you're wondering what happened to the pie i was working on, I made a lemon meringue that I'm not satisfied with so I stashed it away in a box.

I hate teaching. I want to be a writer. But I suck at writing. I don't know how to write. :s

I don't actually like any of the photos I took today.

Sacchin and Sacchin repaint release. I guess they could be twins or something :P


Table and chairs from Sylvanian Families, Green leaf plate from Megahouse, everything else from Re-Ment. I like Re-Ment.


The tea inside the cup is removable.


Hmm, this picture reminds me that I have to paint the little flowers on the table white or somekind of creamy colour. Brown is too plain, and the picture of the table on the original packaging had white flowers...

Ladybug, ladybug, ladybug invasion~



Aya: What the heck...they all came after I baked these ladybug cookies! Hey, you two on the leaf--these cookies are mine! *looks up* Oi, you! Stop mucking around and help me get rid of them!

This is actualy a miniature sugar bowl from Megahouse's Forest Teaset miniatures series. The top bug is a removable cap. It comes wth two tiny plastic sugar lumps! This was the only photo that came out okay in today's photoshoot. All the ones featuring to full tea set were pretty unsatisfactory.

A little background: The Forest Teaset is Megahouse's last miniatures set--they decided it was not profitable enough. Too bad really, they make so few sets and they always get sold out really fast. Their sets are wonderful looking, quite on par with Re-Ment's miniatures.
