Merry Christmas! God Jul !


The time passes by so fast! Now it is Christmas again, and this Christmas I am lucky to share with my much loved daughter Nova. It is her first Christmas and it will be so wonderful to share all traditions with her!

I haven't got time for miniatures or to update my blog, and until I got more time (especially to sleep ;) ) I unfortunately have to rest my blog. If I manage to get some spare time I will make more miniatures ( I have a lot of ideas) and share with you!

Now I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Or as we say in Sweden, God Jul & Gott Nytt År!


Greetings from my daughter Nova !

Luxury chocolate truffles


I simply love chocolate.. well I love almost everything sweet but especially chocolate! It is a wonder that I am not fat ;) ... guess I am very lucky! These took a long time to make and half way through I was starting to wonder what I was doing ;)  ! I also made a smaller pyramid of chocolate truffles that I displayed on a beautiful  little silver stand, but I haven´t photographed it yet... I hope I will have time to do that in this week!

I have more pictures in my Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/MiniatureChef



There haven´t been much time left for making miniature since my lovely daughter was born! The time simply isn't enough ;).. when she is asleep there is so much to do, and often one want to sleep when she does! Well it will get easier when she gets older! Right now I simply want to enjoy the time with her, she is growing older for each day, today she is 3 and a half month old and a little charmer! Here she is, my little Nova when we where taking a walk in the forest a warm spring day.


 Have a lovely day!

A sneak peak at my Tennyson dollhouse


These last months I have been working a lot so I haven't had time to update my blog, but here comes a sneak peak at my ongoing project, the Tennyson dollhouse.

I have made roof shingles from egg carton and glued them to my porch roof, I then used different shades och gray when I painted them. Now I "only" have to make roof shingles for the rest of the house roof.... I will need a lot of egg cartons ..So there will be a lot of omelets ;)




I think that the miniatures are the most fun to do so I started to do them even though there is much left to do on the building's exterior. Here is a tiny birdhouse made in clay (my favorite medium) which I then painted and aged. Then I also made the religieuse pastries, which was fun to make. The white flowers are made by Michelle in Greece, they are so beautiful! I only painted the pot so it would fit in my color theme.

In a few days I will have more photos to post here!



I also want to welcome all new blog followers, hope you will enjoy your visits to my blog!

Have a nice weekend, Hanna

Baking miniatures


Here is my latest minis, cupcakes! I love to experiment with the textures in miniature food and this set gave me a lot of fun!

As you can see on the picture below the cupcakes are pretty tiny and a couple of times when I worked with them they fell from my table... before they got in the oven, now that is a test for even the most patient person! Luckily I could finish them at the end.



I also experimented with different backgrounds when I took the photos, the first photo here is with a picture of a kitchen in a magazine as background, what do you think about it?

I like the effect but I didn't got a good contrast in the photo.
