I've been so excited about all the other Club Little House swap goodies that I've forgotten to share what "we" made.
Donuts! For the doll with a sweet tooth. Actually, I have to confess: all credit goes to daughter Grace this time. Maybe you already guessed. Because I could never even hope to make anything like this, you need very nimble fingers and oodles of time. Not to mention the willpower not to eat everything! No, these are not edible (it's sculpey silly) but I'm drooling just looking at them, aren't you?
So anyway, when the CLH swap came up, I thought of her instantly because she's been making miniatures like this for quite awhile now and really had the desire to do it. The first time I saw what she was doing I swooned. Her cakes are amazing 
too. Next time around though, we'll both be contributing things we've made. I already have lots of ideas in mind so I'm really looking forward to it again.
And like most crafters, we always seem to make more stuff than we know what to do with, so I finally got around to stocking the Etsy shop with this overflow of goodness. All the profits will go to Grace to help fund her projects, but also validate what she's doing. Which is important too. I know you creative types understand this. Quantities are limited, some are one of a kind. Grace pretty much makes the things she likes...we can't exactly turn her into a doll donut factory, although she did say that she wouldn't be opposed to taking a special order now and then. So there you have it. Basically everything is offered on a first come, first serve basis. If you want to purchase something but don't have an etsy account, shoot me an email and we can work something out.
That is so cool! What a wonderful project for your daughter. (BTW, I get an error when I click the Etsy link.)

Grace, your work is amazing! It is a gift to be able to do such detailed work in that tiny size. You have a little budding business...soon to be blooming! You'll see!
Congratulations!
Ginger...give Arabella an extra squeeze for me today.

Well, Miss Grace, if you are the cutest girl to wear a pouf boutonniere on earth I don't know who is. Now I'm off to buy a bitty cake (I hope!). Love, alicia

Grace's desserts look so delicious! They can't possibly be made from sculpy. :)

Speaking as the proud owner of itty bitty pastries AND a cake by the amazing Grace, I can tell you these are the CUTEST and most perfect little creations you have ever ever ever SEEN! I love them to pieces!

Grace, you REALLY do have golden hands! Your donuts and cakes are lovely as they can be! Congratulations*
Vicky, thanks for sharing all that fun, and everything you got on the CLH swap!

These are so gorgeous. I NEVER would have guessed that they weren't real! I've wanted to try Sculpy and now I'm really inspired, though I'm sure my creations won't be this wonderful :)
Posted by: Amy | June 23, 2006 at 07:09 PM
Oh my gosh, these are wonderful! I'm going to have to start watching the Etsy shop so I don't miss out next time.
Posted by: Linda | June 23, 2006 at 07:40 PM
These are so charming and very well done. How clever and creative of Grace to think of making them!

Oh Vicki, aren't those cute! Your girls are just as gifted as you are. I didn't know you had an Etsy shop! I've listed you in my favorites!!

Grace! How wonderfully talented you are :) It all looks so yummy.
Posted by: Lori | June 24, 2006 at 11:21 AM
These look so incredible! How very very skilled and clever. I wish I had such patience :)
me: I wish I did too! (Grace says, Thank You!)

So very cute! And really nice work too. Where in the world do you find those tiny boxes? Those donuts look so yummy, everthing actually!
me: well...would you believe it, Grace makes the boxes too!

Get OUT of town!! That sculpy (and masters of it like Grace) is going to have a LOT of 'splaining to do one day. Messing with my mind and taste buds like that. SpecTACular work!
Posted by: Cris | June 25, 2006 at 10:24 AM
Oh my goodness, those are amazing!

When I saw those donuts on Alicia's site I thought they were the coolest thing! Grace is doing a fab job! They're so clever, I keep wondering how they are made! (esp the fritos packet!)
When I was a kiddie I did embroidery and sold it at the 'home industries' store in our town via my mom's account there. It was great to sell stuff and get the money back! I hope Grace has as good a time as I did :)

Oh I so need to paint up my daughters dolls house so we can start getting lots of little fab food and stuff for it!
