Halloween at Littlest Sweet Shop

Happy Halloween Littlest Sweet Shoppers!

This year I made some Jack o'lanterns which are actually hollow and you can also learn how to make it on our YouTube channel. But of course you can always order them from our Dollhouse Minis menu and they come in any shape, size and even design!

There are also normal pumpkins which haven't been carved in our Fruits and Veg menu. Also available in any shape or size (and various colours too).

That's all for now. Hope you are having a great Halloween. Harumi is dressed as a nurse this year and we had a Halloween party in the dollhouse. She collected so much candy and insisted on counting them before bed.

Making of IKEA Billy 1/6 scale Bookcase furniture

Happy Holidays Littlest Sweet Shoppers!


There has been so many new miniatures cluttering up the dollhouse recently so Akiko decided to purchase another Billy unit from Ikea. This new one will be placed in the bedroom. It's so easy to install Billy so Naru decided to do it herself. The furniture is flat packed so it could easily be sent to their home.
Naru with the new Billy Bookcase. Neatly packaged in a thin box.
Before she starts, she checked the contents to make sure everything is there. There shouldn't be issues assembling it as long as it has no missing parts.

 Naru reads the instructions first and makes sure she understands everything.

 Assemble the sides and fixed shelves together first by slotting in the plastic peg parts together.

After that assemble the other side. It is now quite stable to stand on its own.

Slide in the cardboard back (just like the real size Billy!). Slot in the rest of the shelves in place.

Yeay! It is now assembled! Billy bookcase is great because it looks really nice and you can adjust the shelf height to your own preference (exactly like the real Billy). The quality is also very nice and now we have 2 Billy bookcases in the dollhouse. 
A beautiful new piece of furniture for the dolls house.
You can put so many items on this bookcase but here are just several pieces thrown in to show its potential. 

That's all for now! Have a great Christmas and see you next year!

Tilda Circus Blog Hop

Hello Littlest Sweet Shoppers 

If you have been following my 1/6 scale dollhouse adventures, you would have noticed that the interior decoration and furniture upholstery are made using Tilda products. I had even made a dress for the dolls using Tilda fabric (just make sure it is one of their smaller prints to suit the scale). Tilda is a Norwegian brand which makes lovely fabrics, paper pads, craft items, and more. The prints are so girly and kitsch so naturally it fits in with the Littlest Sweet Shop world. 
I received the new Tilda Circus fabric range to play with and made a few items for the girls. The new fabric range is so colourful and reminds me of festivals in summertime. I decided to make some teepees for Harumi (Ruruko doll) so she could play in the garden with teepee tents to keep all her favourite toys.

The prints are a bit more quirky than usual and beautifully matched with colourful bunting and rainbow colours. The sweet and cheery prints can definitely brighten up the day.

Tilda's signature vintage floral prints is so sweet and my favourite print from this collection
I also made a new blanket for the bed in the dollhouse. This is Akiko's room and since she is a ballerina, she loved the new print with a ballerina doing an arabesque on pointe on an elephant!! It is so Bohemian and at the same time the print is made in a gorgeous vintage blue so it matched all of the current Tilda wallpaper and curtains in the bedroom.

It is such a fun print so I also added pink pom poms to the sides. I had to hand-sew it on (took ages!) but I am so happy how it turned out.

If this is your first time visiting Littlest Sweet Shop for the blog hop, check out the other Tilda materials that I used for the dollhouse. You can frame up illustrations provided in Tilda paper pads and use the cardstock as dollhouse wallpaper. Even the sofa is made from Tilda fabric!

Hope you enjoyed that small update from the dollhouse. Join us again in the next few days as we bring you all of the new products for April including some new Easter bunny chocolates.

Commission update: Traditional Christmas dinner and all-new products!

Hello Littlest Shoppers!

Here is a big order that was commissioned for a museum in America! The theme was "Christmas at home" and I made some new items for them that you can also order from the 'Seasonal' menu.

I thought some of these items were also relevant for Thanksgiving so I decided to post it today so you can order them in time for the holidays.

They basically wanted me to create a menu that goes with the theme and I thought about my own Christmas dinners (which I have to cook every year) and basically created similar miniatures. I also made our signature Christmas sweets and treats and made sure they all looked 'home-made'.

The main item on the Christmas dinner menu is the Christmas Roast Turkey with stuffing. This huge bird is enough to feed 8 dolls! You can also order chicken instead if you are feeding only 4-6 dolls.
Realistic roast turkey
There are some sides to serve and eat with the delicious turkey. We made roasted carrots, roasted parsnips, roast potatoes with herbs, dinner rolls, and even a jug of gravy!

On the dessert table, we made Christmas pudding, Pumpkin pie (individual slices) with whipped cream, Gingerbread men, candy canes, and mini minced pies.

That's all for today. I have to do a short trip to London this weekend and I'm off to Paris for a whole week on the last week of October. Hopefully I can list more new things before I go on vacation. Stay around for that!

New items for April - Sharing Bread, Rainbow Sprite Pound cake and Snow Cones!

Good Day Littlest Sweet Shoppers!

It's a good day indeed when the sun is shining outside and you know summer is just around the corner. Let's check out some new arrivals that have been freshly baked here at Littlest Sweet Shop.

Freshly baked new arrivals + Snow cones 
Our first new arrival is the Sharing Bread / Pull Apart Bread which is now listed in our Bakery menu. Sharing bread comes in sets of 6 pieces, 9 pieces and even 16 pieces. There should be enough cute buns to feed a group of dolls. They look cute in kitchen or bakery scenes. 
9 Pieces Sharing bread
We made cute San-X characters Sharing Bread featuring Rilakkuma and friends. Mix and match yours by commissioning one today! Each bun has been hand-decorated with sugar icing to bring out the characters.
Korilakkuma & Kiiroitori  Sharing bread
Our character sharing breads are light and fluffy. This chocolate Rilakkuma bread looks so scrumptiously soft and chocolatey.

All sharing breads come default as a whole but you can ask to have 1 or 2 pieces 'torn out'.

Of course if you want something more classic, you can always order Hot Cross buns or even a cheesy sharing bread. All of our miniatures are bespoke to order so we can make anything that you desire. There are many types of bread to choose from and various selection of toppings.

Like everything else in the Sweet Shop, we can also seal and package your bread. Display this in your supermarket scene/diorama.

The Pound cake is already available for festive celebrations but this new arrival can be ordered whenever you want it. This Rainbow Sprite Pound Cake is moist and colourful. Have it with tea or even coffee and let the colours cheer your day.

Order the Rainbow Sprite (or any other design) from the Cakes menu.

If you only want some sliced pieces but not the whole cake, we do sell individual slices. Why not have it sealed and packed too? Your dolls can take it for a picnic or in their lunch boxes.

Our pound cake is extremely light and fluffy because we only use the best ingredients!

Since summer is getting closer, wouldn't it be great to have some Snow Cones to cool down with? Now you can get icy Snow Cones by visiting Littlest Sweet Shop!

Orange and Strawberry, Rainbow, Tropical Punch and Grape
Our last new arrival for April is a Large size loaf which can be found in Bread section of the Bakery menu. Any type of bread can be ordered as a large size.
Large Pumpernickle
Last but not least, here is a new lollipop flavour - Stripey Rainbow. This is more like an inverted version of the Rainbow Swirl lollipop. Now available in the Sweets Boutique menu.

That's all for now. Come back soon to find out what commissions I have been working on and a review giveaway of Japanese sweets. Make sure not to miss any of that by following us on any social media platforms.

Bye!

PuppenHaus Update!

Hey Hey Littlest Sweet Shoppers!

I can't believe that the home of Naru, Maya, Akiko and Yuffie is turning 3 this year! And it only took me 3 years to finally install curtains :p

Here are some updates and another overall view of the 1/6 scale dollhouse. Since it's painted with 2 coats of Dulux wood (satin finish) paint, it doesn't look aged at all!

The house is almost 5' tall!

If you are a new Littlest Sweet Shopper, PuppenHaus is the home of Yuffie, Naru, Akiko and Maya. This is their official residence and where I keep the dolls. 5 dolls could probably fit up in the balcony (and probably my limit)
The pink shop scooter is parked in front of the house (with a bunch of pastel balloons) and can you spot the new cats?
We recently adopted Luna and Artemis XD
I rarely show this part of the house - the sun-deck / roof top
This is where I keep the extra chairs, and cafe tables since there isn't any room in the Littlest Sweet Shop diorama. The diorama is currently full of handmade miniatures!!
2nd Floor - Bedroom. I've finally installed blinds using same Tilda material as the vanity stool. Each curtain and blinds had to be hand-sewn because something was wonky with my sewing machine.

New curtains! This lace curtain is so quintessentially English
I got some new books from a bunch of re-Ment sets I got recently. I'm going to be pleased when I finally fill it up with books!

We have been having spaghetti for 2 months in a row now (lol)

The best thing about having a dollshouse is being able to peep through the window. Here is what I see:

Stay around next week for the debut of our accessories collections for Komikku. The Winter collection will include many cute sweets to wear for Christmas ;)
