Miniature Jar of Chicken Noodle Soup Mix 1/24th Scale

Accompanying the jar of holiday soup mix in 1/12th scale is this tiny quarter scale (1/24th) jar of soup mix.

Miniature Jar of Chicken Noodle Soup Mix

Melissa made this tiny jar of chicken noodle soup mix (like you'd find in the Holiday aisle) and then made one in 1/24th scale. Super cute!

Miniature Jar of Coins

This mini change jar was made by both Melissa and myself and it took over an hour to complete. The change is made from paper and it's completely removable and can be placed anywhere else around a scene. We love the over-sized jar, only we wish ours in real life was this full.

Miniature Cookies on Tray

Cookies, cookies, on a tray, on a tray, on a tray, cookies, cookies, on a tray, My Fair Lady! OK, so I made these while watching My Fair Lady. Punched out about 1,000 cookies, I'd say and then I've decorated about 300 of them. Whew! It's a good time-consumer but really you've got to have something else to think about while doing it or you'll go insane.

Miniature Fruit Basket

A Haiku on Fruit in Mini:

Miniature Fruit
Far too much detail for me
Please no more re-dos.

I kept ruining these and having to remake them.

Miniature Bird Cookies

I've been punching out cookies like mad ever since Betsy Niederer posted the secret to making cookies so perfectly on CDHM's forums. I am so glad she did! Mary Jo lent me a bunch of punches but one of them was too large to be a normal cookie. It had to be a big cookie. A flur de lis cookie. What could I do with it? I stared at it repeatedly and never found the answer, and then it struck me. BIRDS! I made four little birds and have put these two at auction this week on eBay. I hope they are enjoyed!
