Happy Valentine's Day!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!  In a few weeks anyway.  All of the projects I'm working on seem to be big things, so nothing is complete.  I thought it would be fun to create something small for Valentine's Day so that I could enjoy at least one complete scene.  I made everything in the scene except for the frame around the picture and the table that everything is on.  I did make the drawers work on it though. 

The rug took me quite a few hours.  I had to weave each little line, and try to keep it straight the whole time.  I think it turned out well though.  I'd definitely make another one.  I like the rustic look of it. 

I've never made cupcakes before, so this was quite an adventure.  I'm pleased with how they turned out, but hope they get a little more realistic looking as I practice.  I love my little rose sugar cookie.  I want to take a bite out of it.  I also love my little jars of candy hearts.  They were very satisfying to make.  I used Garden of Imagination's tutorial on Youtube.    

I made a couple of packages of Ferrero Rocher chocolates, also using Garden of Imaginations tutorials, and another one I saw somewhere else, but can't remember.  I love these little chocolates, so what's better than having them in miniature also? 

I love my little box of chocolates.  It took some concentration to make them since they're so small, but I think they look delicious.  If you look closely, you can see some red chocolate lips!
