my life in color

I celebrated my book launch with sparkling wine and cake.

And lots of dear friends.

You can see a peek into the book in this post.

My talented friend made an amazing cake (chocolate with raspberry mousse and Bailey's mascarpone fillings) decorated with items I have tutorials for in the book made from sugar paste.

The box that was supposed to be filled with my books was mostly filled with baby books.. hmmm...

Luckily the right books arrived after a phone call.

It wasn't just pretty on the outside.. it was delicious too.

There was also a mini party going on. I didn't have time to take photos, but you can see some here.

I really like this photo my friend Nina took.

I signed quite a few books :)

I have to hand it to my colleague who gave me some miniatures. Even if they weren't quite 1:12th scale.

*grin*

I am very proud of this book.

And ridiculously happy that it is out there making other miniaturists happy.

 Quick look through my November:

I drooled over this dress.. I walked past that window a few times.. sadly it was too pricey.

...sigh...

Halloween gingerbread cookies, mulled wine and glittery slippers at my hairdresser's.

This time of year extinguishes all color.

It's all blueish grey.

The kids made a pom pom wreath for our Club door at work.

I love snow.. it makes the world so much prettier.

Christmas (or any) shopping with Saara always ends up at the make-up stalls. 

 My name is Susanna and I am a serial sock knitter..

I like the northern lights vibe in these.

Yay, bokeh time!

Both flowers are direct descendants of plants my grandmother had. They've never bloomed at the same time before.

There was time spent in Stars Hollow.

With wine.

Our dollhouse club meetings are equally as much about crafting as they are about food :) 

It is quite acceptable to come and just eat and chat.

I spent two afternoons on a high ladder at work making an alternative Christmas tree.
