Love is in the Air

This Valentine's Day I will be apart from my Valentine as he is working abroad and suffice to say he finds it hard enough to remember to buy me a gift when we are together. Therefore I am treating myself this year to a fine box of chocolates and who knows maybe some ice cream. If  you will celebrate Valentine's Day alone remember to treat yourself as its important to love yourself.

I have been working on some little 12th scale Valentine's Day treats for you and here they are.

Last night I was very lucky indeed, I was chauffeured to dinner at the Wolseley Hotel just next door to The Ritz, Piccadilly, London and then onto the Royal Albert Hall to see Totem, the new Cirque De Soleil show. I had a fabulous evening. Suffice to say I didn't get to bed until 12.30am which is well past my normal bedtime, so sad bunny that I am I was forced to have a little nap this afternoon.
After all the excitement of last night I was able to settle down and get on with some of my commissions. Here is a sample of some of my newly completed works

Valentine Chocolate Box

What a couple of days I have had trying to make Victorian Valentine chocolate boxes. I had so much superglue stuck to my fingers at one point, they started to crack and become sore. ( How we suffer for our art LOL). I decided to make two types: one that opens to reveal chocolates and the other just for display, it does not open or contain chocolates.

Chocolates, Champage and Cakes

Yesterday I dropped my little drawer of 1/12th scale chocolates. I was down on my hands and knees trying to rescue them from between the floorboards. With the extra light I had a shock, I saw just how dirty my rug was. Oh well never mind. I am not sure whether I found all the chocs but I got most of them.

Today I have been making bits and pieces for Valentine's Day. I have not photographed my chocolate boxes yet but heres what I have been upto.

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

I have been walking in the snow at Alexandra Palace (London UK). The frozen lake and snow laden trees were simply breathe taking. I strolled along thinking myself to be in Narnia (Fantasy land from "The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe"). It was so quiet and so very still. That was yesterday when the snow was fresh. Today it has turned to ice in places and has become very slippery so, I am not enjoying it as much. It has made me think about all the people who live in colder climates and have to deal with this weather every Winter. How do you cope?

While I have been inside I have made some Valentine items and some good old fish and chips.
