Its been a while....

Its been a while since my last post about the gift..
I've been busy these past few weeks. My sister just recovered from her leg surgery, my housemaid is sick and she can't do her job until next month, and i have to finish my thesis. but thanks God everything goes well now. well...have i told you about my roombox? I decided to make a miniature general store with it.
i started with finding the perfect flooring for the store.i'm using a parquet/real wood floor. then, making the shelf for display, I paint them with wood stain.

and here are some minis i've made. all of these minis are handmade, except the crates, sacks and bottles. i buy them online. If you can see me now, you'll see the dark circle under my eyes because it takes extra effort to make all of these mini stuffs..

*sneak peak behind the scene........*

i need more stuffs to fill the shelfs... still so many minis to make.....
What color should i paint the wall? plain white is all i'm thinking about, but i think it will be so boring.... what do you think?

hugs,
christina

Now i want to share some photos... maybe it will inspire you to go there someday..

I'm going back to my minis soon!! 
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!! ;D

chocolate cake, then ready to go! Summer holiday!! :D

dear readers,

I spent last 2 weeks with doing all the things that should have done before my vacation. cleaning my house, re-arrange my closet, bathing my dog, paying house bills, grocery checklist, finishing questionnaire final draft (for the thesis), then packing. my boyfriend help me pack all the stuffs that i need,so hopefully i don't left anything. i remember how bad was it when i left my facial cleansing soap.

All the things are done, and i have little time to mini baking. Actually i have no idea what to make, but I'm addicted to chocolate lately, so this is my chocolate cake. Looks like its ready to cut..

And i want to welcome all of my new followers.... thank you for following my blog, and i really love to hear what you all say about my mini works  and thank you for adding me on facebook!! well, my flight is 2 hours from now..i have to get ready to the airport!! off to Singapore.

I hope you enjoy your summer!! :)

hugs,

Christina
