Details in Blue. Drobiazgi na niebiesko.

I have done a few pair of shoes on dolls feet before but these are first without dolls.
They are in blue as I am changing one of my projects and they just had to be in this colour, lol!

I thought of high heels but was not sure how to make soles. So I started with flip flops.


I was quite pleased of them but couldn't stop thinking of high heels.... I even tried to carve the soles from wood, lol. But they just broke in few places when I was polishing them...
And then I bought a glue - which is of course of none importance here - but it's wrapping is made of thick cardboard which nicely bends. And that's how the high heels were born. ;)



Making so small fluffs were not easy but fun.:)


And yes! My first ever hand made food. Does it look like a little macaroon? ;) I hope so!LOL!

W przeszłości zdarzyło mi się już robić buty na nogach lalek, ale te są pierwsze bezlalkowe.;)

Dziś wszystko na niebiesko, bo zmieniam jedno wnętrze i tylko taki kolor tam pasuje.;)

Od początku myślałam o obcasach, ale za bardzo nie wiedziałam z czego zrobić podeszwy więc wybrałam prostsze rozwiązanie - klapki.
Jednak obcasy nie dawały mi spokoju - nawet próbowałam je wyrzeźbić w drewnie, ale podczas szlifowania podeszwa pękła w kilku miejscach.
A potem kupiłam klej - choć oczywiście nie o niego tu chodzi - w kartonowym opakowaniu. Karton jest dość gruby, ale łatwo się wygina. I tak powstały podeszwy na obcasie.:)
Zrobienie puszka w tej skali okazało się całkiem niezłym wyzwaniem.;)

A na koniec moja całkiem pierwsza próba zrobienia miniaturowego "jedzenia". Jakby ktoś się pytał to miał to być makaronik. Podobny? ;)

Spoiled rotten! Rozpuszczona jak dziadowski bicz!

Although the best for me was to meet sweet Sans! face to face, I cannot forget to thank all these wonderful Ladies that spoiled me rotten.:)( I was feeling like a child during Christmas Eve!!)............................................................................................ Your gifts are very special for me because you didn’t need to think of me while Sans! was travelling to your places. I value your Friendship and Generosity very much!.......................................................................................... First of all I was spoiled rotten by Sans! herself. She brought so many things, I couldn’t believe it!
To my surprise not everyone of them were miniatures!
She even bought this wonderful egg cozy from Rosanna, whose work and patience I admire all the time! This is really a marvel to me!
And brought sweets from Spain and from my dear dear Friend, Brigit!!!!
I have to admit I was in shock when Sans! emailed me she was bringing a gift from Cindy for me!!! I was stunt to see it. Even more to have her splendid miniatures in my hands. And gosh!!! I never ever suspected how teeny tiny these cakes and fish are!!! And the tea bags!!!! Thank you, Cindy for thinking of me!!!!
The last but not least was a gift from someone I admire from the first time I joined Blogger: Eva. The books are AMAZING! Don’t know how she made these patterns but my Dad was suspecting some of them are made of sesame seeds. LOL!
Dear Ladies: Sans, Brigit, Cindy, Eva and Rosanna!!!!.............................................................................. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for thinking of me, for your generous hearts and talented hands and most of all for your Friendship! I am so honored to know such wonderful Ladies and own their fantastic miniatures!! Thank you!!! And I do hope one day we will meet face to face!:)........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Choć najważniejszym wydarzeniem był dla mnie przyjazd Sans! do Polski, nie mogę zapomnieć o specjalnych podziękowaniach dla Bloggerek, które były tak miłe i przy okazji jej pobytu u nich postanowiły mi przekazać wspaniałe prezenty! Zupełnie nieoczekiwanie dla mnie samej stałam się posiadaczką wspaniałych miniatur Dziewczyn, które podziwiałam od dawna! Dziękuję więc z całego serca kochanym: Sans, Brigit, Cindy, Evie i Rosannie! Mam nadzieję, że będzie nam dane się kiedyś spotkać.:)

A New Year’s(almost) Gift. Prawie noworoczny prezent.

What a happy Monday it was!
Yesterday I received a wonderful, wonderful parcel from Kathy and Tim of WeeLittleWest .

Among so many fantastic supplies (which are absolutely unattainable over here)that for sure I will use in my mini projects there are also REAL TREASURES, Kathy’s Masterpieces!

Just look inside this sweet, metal Christmas box. Can you believe it????

I honestly don’t know how food miniaturists can make so teeny tiny pieces! These cakes are sooooooooooooo cute!


Dearest Kathy, I am so proud and happy to have your beautiful miniatures home! They are very, very special to me because they were made by you! Thank you, Kathy and thank you, Tim from the bottom of my heart! You made a wonderful almost New Year’s surprise to me!!

And Happy New Year to Everyone!


Ależ miałam udany poniedziałek! Wczoraj przyszła do mnie przesyłka od Kathy. A w środku pełno fantastycznych rzeczy, które na pewno wykorzystam w kolejnych projektach oraz prawdziwe skarby - mistrzowskie miniatury zrobione przez Kathy! Spójrzcie tylko do środka tego maleńkiego, metalowego pudełka! Naprawdę nie wiem jak „jedzeniowi” miniaturzyści potrafią zrobić tak maleńkie ciasteczka we wzorki i do tego kolorowe! Są przesłodkie! Jestem bardzo szczęśliwa, że mam miniatury robione przez Kathy w domu.:) Cudowna prawie noworoczna niespodzianka!

A tasty treat from Greece!

Have I ever mention that my favourite holidays are spending time on Greek islands? Probably not yet;) Being from Poland means mostly cheaper hotels ;) which is not bad because they are often leaded by a few-generation-family and watching their relationships is one of the most interesting things for me.;) Me and my travel's mate just love to walk around, visit every museum, church, shop, go by car, boat, bus wherever we can and of course take millions of photographs. I love the sun light, the colour of the sky, of the sea, the smell of thyme, or the smell of grill around the taverns or even the sounds of scooters;) And of course I love the food! I am absolutely happy when I have tzatziki, Greek salad, saganaki, souvlaki, cafe frappe and fresh orange juice on the table in front of me!:D There is something on these islands that makes me feel relaxed, no one is in a hurry, slowly doing their things, no rush. I also think I was lucky because I really have no even one bad experience there so far.:)

So what made me to write about this? A gift from very talented Anthoula! Some time ago I sent some bits and pieces I thought they might be useful for her beautifull food miniatures and a couple days ago I got this great tray full of goodies!

I love the transparency of the onion's half dials!:)

And this piece of lemon is so ... sweet!:D

Thank you so much Ahthoula for thinking of me!! I am so happy to have your great minis! I am sure I will order some Greek food from you soon.:D Thank you for your generostity!!

Jakis czas temu wysłałam parę drobiazgów do Anthouli, mając nadzieję, że będzie mogła je wykorzystać przy tworzeniu swoich miniatur żywniosciowych. Dwa dni temu dostałam w podziękowaniu tę tacę z wiktułałami:D Bardzo podoba mi się przezroczystosć tych talarków cebuli i ta cytrynka pływająca w herbatce!:D
