Magical Christmas Video!

Christmas is such a magical time and never more magical than in the workshops where the little Christmas elves make it happen! I've been taking pictures of their work as they ice the gingerbread houses, bake the cakes and make the cookies. You can catch a glimpse of the pixies at work in the workshop by scrolling down for a video on my Caro Home Crafts channel brought to you by Pixie Dust Miniatures! ;)

Don't forget, I'll start posting tutorials for making dollhouse miniature food in 1:12 scale in 2011 and they'll all be on my Caro Home Crafts blog and channel, so look out for them!

SHOP CLOSING IN 24 HOURS!

Hi everyone,
Just to remind you that I am closing both my Hummingbird Miniatures and Pixie Dust Miniatures shops in approx 24 hours so I can travel from America back to England for the holidays. I'll re-open for business in 2 days or so (when jet lag has worn off and I've reached my parent's house) and everything will be dispatched from England until Jan 2011.

Hope that's all clear! Email me if you're unsure! (caro.mfw@gmail.com)

Mini hugs to all...
Caroline (and the worker elves)

Oooh... what else have the Elves been up to?!

Those busy Pixie Dust Elves have just completed a batch of Gingerbread House Tree Ornaments (Decorations) and you can find them at both shops here and here .

Incredibly detailed in 1:12 scale (and made from polymer clay), the gingerbread houses hang from little red satin ribbons which hang nicely on your Christmas tree branches!

You can see more pictures on my other blog (Hummingbird Miniatures) here .

PS I am traveling back to England in just 2.5 days time and will have to put the shops on hold for a bit, so if you're interested in something on the shops then you best be quick as I won't be able to make new items once these sell out! :)

Busy Elves Making Rudolph Christmas Cakes

The Pixie Dust Elves have just completed a batch of frosty Rudolph Christmas Cakes and I have already listed one or two on both shops. You can find them here

Lovingly handmade in 1:12 scale from polymer clay and decorated with a chocolate Rudolph, frosted cookie star, candy cane, frosty sprinkles, white sugar icing and finished with a pale blue satin ribbon. The cake sits on a gold cake board which it is attached to.

The last image is of one of the cakes which the elves have started cutting into. You can see the traditional layer of marzipan beneath the white icing.

You can also find this Christmas cake on my other blog (Hummingbird Miniatures) here

Gingerbread Houses made by Elves!

Christmas is just around the corner and the Pixie Dust Elves have been so busy making tiny miniature Gingerbread Houses for your dollhouse Christmas scenes!

The gingerbread houses are extremely detailed and lovingly handmade in 1:12 scale from polymer clay. Decorated with all kinds of candy such as Dolly Mixtures (an English candy which is a lot like Liquorice Allsorts without the liquorice), chocolate buttons, candy canes, chocolate stars, chocolate pretzels and star-shape cookies and white sugar icing.

Just listed them on my online shop (Etsy) and you can find them here

You can also find the same gingerbread houses on my other blog (Hummingbird Miniatures) here
