Today I went swimming after a break of nearly 3 weeks (I hurt my neck and shoulder previously) and now I am feeling a little tired. Too tired infact to start making minis. In actual truth I feel like a little lie down and I would if it wasn't already 4.30pm. I originally hurt my neck and shoulder doing Yoga and swimming. Not together I hasten to add. So what am I to do exercise 3 times a week as recommended to stay healthy and sleep my afternoons away or get mini making and become unhealthy LOL.

I have added a Tutorial section to my website www.dollhousekitchen.com and I will be updating it frequently. Please have a look. I have also been making more chocolate cakes. Oh how I fancy a slice of chocolate cake and a nice cuppa tea at the moment. Instead of a dry old rice cake. (Thats all I have in the cupboard).

August Already

I cannot believe we have already slipped into August. I am so behind with miniature making ah but, its only the 4th so not so bad afterall. I have been down to Canterbury for a couple of days where I did a 17 mile (27km) cycle ride along the route called The Crab & Winkle Way. It followed the old train line between Canterbury and Whitstable. I had to buy a new cycle seat with extra gel for comfort apparently, especially good for Ladies with a large bottom. Not sure whether I qualify there! Well after that I was good for nothing else except dare I say a little afternoon snooze.

The next day we did a bit of site seeing visiting Museums and various other attractions. It would have been great to have had another day but the pressures of work always seem to cloud the horizon.

Heres a glimpse at what I have been upto when not reading in the garden.

My New Website - www.dollhousekitchen.com

I have been working on my new website for what seems like an age. I never realized how much work goes on behind the scenes just to get a website up and running. I would be delighted if you would take a look www.dollhousekitchen.com and please bookmark it as it is still in its infancy.
I have included a few items you will find there.

Still Waiting.........

No pasta machine yet I ordered it a week ago and I have been told its on its way. Yesterday I tried to roll some clay with a jam jar. I just gave up I don't know how I ever managed without my pasta machine. I haven't made anything for over a week. But I managed to put the above together out of pieces I had already made.
To top it all I have a throat infection so I am going to wrap up warm and watch Tv until my wonderful new pasta machine arrives.
