Gifts from Rachel

I received beautiful gifts from dear  Rachel a couple of weeks ago, while I was sitting with my swollen toe up.  These lovely gifts brightened my day.

This beautifully detailed corset,  all the little bits of lace, ribbon and tiny beads, it's just perfect.   I love the tiny flower print fabric.

"Look at the beautiful hat, it's mine"  That's Jaynie, she grabbed it and put it on right away.
This is just so amazing, the tiny flowers, you can't see it from the picture but the green one is sparkly, so very pretty.  I just love love those feathers.

"They have to have another Royal Wedding now that I have the perfect hat." 

I don't think that's going to happen Jaynie, but  I agree it is a great hat.

And a beautifully stitched mat and 2 cakes.
I love the colors and pattern, so nice. 



Rachel got over her fear of Fimo with great success.  Look at the orange and kiwi slices, the whipped cream, yummy!

Thank you so much for these great gifts, Rachel.  I love everything,  now I have to start planning a way to display them, so that I can look at them all the time.

Thank you for visiting, Mary



Working on Stew Vegetables

I made potatoes and carrots a while ago.

I think they came out well.  What do you think?  I still need to make onions and celery, hopefully soon, Jaynie wants to make stew before it gets too warm.

I should introduce you to Jaynie, she says that Julie from http://doreensminiatures.blogspot.com/ is her Canadian cousin.  I think I see a family resemblance.  Lately she is starting to act more like Tessie from  http://caseymini.blogspot.com/ .  She is getting bossy and demanding.  She is not getting a wand no matter how much she begs, sulks or holds her breath.  I try to keep her away from the computer but she sneaks and reads over my shoulder.

Thanks for visiting, Mary
