Snowmen

As you know, I love snowmen.   I got this little framed box at a silent auction recently and it came on Friday.   I loved it and thought it would make a cute room box ... someday.   It sat on the dining room table for the weekend and yesterday I decided to put it in my workspace and then I would find a spot for it until I could work on it.   Just sitting there, I thought I would try a few things.   Wham-bam - it was nearly done.   I still need another piece or two for the walls, but so far, so good.   It is not on my unfinished project list - didn't even make it there.   Enjoy. 

Tea Shop

Recently I participated in a tea shop swap and acquired so many lovely things for a tea shop.   I could not, however, find a teapot that I wanted to use to make the shop.   Finally after looking at this little yard sale find of a  display case, I figured it would make a great shop.   My little shop owner lives upstairs.   She has just moved in and hasn't finished decorating the walls yet, but it coming along nicely.

I got so many lovely things in the swap that several will have to wait until my next project to find a home.  

Does anyone like Snowmen????

I love snowmen and always have.   Being in Key West, you don't get any chance to build a real one, so my collection is the next best thing.    I do hope you enjoy them. 

Raggedies are getting ready for Christmas

My poor little raggedies have had a tough fall.  Our roof sprang a leak and many of them got wet from all the rain we've had this fall.   That didn't help any of them and they were really dusty.   This week they had their day of attention.   They need to be ready for Christmas and they really like to look their best.   Roof is fixed and they are ready for the company we are having during the Holidays.

Tomorrow's Thanksgiving and I'm very thankful for my life.  

Quarter Connection On-line Convention

A miniature group that I belong to is having their 7th Convention - Online.    It is so much fun.   One of their projects was the souvenir porch and I've finished mine in a 4th of July scene.   The scene is 1/4 scale.   Group is Quarter Connection

National Dollhouse Miniature Month - Day 31

I love doing these daily posts during October.   Some times I don't have a clue what I will post, but it generally comes together.   I try to learn something in the process.   My first try at doing a video for YouTube is following.   I'd love to hear your comments about my first attempt.    The video is of my mini creations during this year to date.   Enjoy

National Dollhouse Miniature Month - Day 30 - Upstairs Work Room

Another quarter scale project is in the finished column.   Some of these little projects have been taunting me and finally I am knocking some out.   This is a cute little project, easily built by Luci Hanson.   http://www.cascademiniatures.com/

I really loved the shelf space at the top so I could display a lot of items.   I added the little tool kit.     However, I had a work bench that didn't get to be used.   I could have left out some of the cabinets, but decided against that.   What to do?  
Build another little scene.

This little frame is about 4 inch square.   Gives me a chance to use the workbench and display some little doll houses.
