Very Busy Day

So today was really busy! Up showered, cleaned kitchen and bathroom, washed floors, and made a batch of turkey soup for dinner. The best part however, is me finishing my miniature scrolls!

 

 

Ever since I and my dh binge watch Game of Thrones I am obsessed with Dragons...lol, I know kinda dumb, but that's me!

 

 

 

I will be posting them on Etsy tonight I hope you like them! Hope everyone had a great and productive mini daY!

Preview: the witch's broom

So I am so excited to be posting this little number! It was quite a challenge to have a self standing broom, and at one point I had to walk away and had  too take some time off from it but I did it!!!! And I absolutely love saying that!

 

I would also like to thank my new followers ..I hope you enjoy your visits here.

 

 

Tonight I will be posting this little upscale witch's broom in my Etsy store along with a few other little things I have been working on. I really was looking for something different than just the plain miniature brooms we see so many of. If you have a minute please let me know what you think.

It's The Witching time again...my favorite time of the year!!

I love the fall, and so far this fall has been awesome. Sept. was sooo beautiful, cool crisp days and wonderful days for those afternoon siesta's. Shhhhh...:)

Halloween is one the best holiday of all I think...no hassles but yet you can decorate and dress up in silly costumes! I love hearing the grand kids get sooo excited about their costumes, and parties!

I also love the fairs, and baking apple pies...the anticipation of Thanksgiving...oh I am soooo looking forward to that turkey! So to celebrate this holiday and season, I wanted to share with you some new minis I've been working on. Hope you en joy them!

Pretty Faerie Candles

Witches Cauldron purple, my favorite witch color!




Back from Kansas??????

First I would like to say is thank you to my new followers, I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!
  Yes you heard me right back from Kansas, took a very long train ride to visit my son and 3 grandchildren, David, Madison and Stirling (twin 10 year old identical twins). David is 8 and of course the apple of grandmas eye! while I was there the girls only got grandma confused once..with the "I'm not Madison I'm Stirling" thing and we did find out David was accepted in the gifted program in his school! Grandma and Dad were so proud! Now though I am a little insecure about it...hope he does well...because it would bother him terrible!
  My son really did out do himself this year,,,we were really on the go, movies to see the new 3D monster inc. movie, Science City, a water park, chunky cheese...so much fun to do all that with them..but all good things come to an end...so last week I boarded my train for the very long ride home.
  Now though I find I am really having a hard time getting back into my routine. I did reopen my Etsy store, and I hope writing this will help ease me back into things.
  The really good news though, is when I was away I took too my old love of crocheting...of all things...I started crocheting baby things...made like 3 blankets, little hats,
booties..now I am really giving thought to opening a second Etsy store with Crochet baby items.
  Well we will see...maybe if I post some pics here some of you could give me your thoughts on what you think on my things...?
  Do have to run...have a blessed and great day!

I am So Excited

Well I did do some mini work this weekend, but that is not what I am so excited about. I have been waiting and waiting for Greenleaf to come out with their spring fling 2013, but nothing yet. But....when I went to their forums this am I found another 2013 contest! Miniatures.com has one! So as I looked at the little starter you begin with my mind almost came undone thinking of ALL the wonderful possibilities!

So of course I did it!!! I ordered it!! Now it's the long wait for delivery, oh I know it won't take long...but it will seem like forever! Of course I can't tell about my ideas..but you will defiantly see pictures when it is complete!

Meanwhile here is what I did this weekend! Hope you enjoy!

Simple but Sweet

This little tray and pitcher was such a joy to make, simple but sweet! These trays I purchased on Ebay a while ago, I bought a "lot" of them unfinished. Seeing these pitchers on line in all sorts of colors and finishes, I searched and searched for "where to buy miniature dollhouse water pitchers" to no avail. So then I came upon how to make dollhouse miniature flower containers and bingo! I found them! I make them with card stock, then either  paint or paper them my chosen color! I think they just are so pretty with the trays! So the pattern comes in three different scales! Very easy...hope you enjoy! http://miniatures.about.com/od/dollhouseprintables/ss/flowercontainers.htm

This Week

What a week, sitting in front of the news for the whole week, wanting to work on minis...but just having to watch. Staying up all night on Thursday..just to see.Feeling everything from anger to sadness, trying to believe the unbelievable. From Boston to Texas...this is America. An America that has endured so much this past week.

I heard one of Krystle Campbell's family members say he was glad suspect 2 was captured.."but it won't bring her back". Now as a step mom of a son killed in Afghanistan, I feel I can relate. It doesn't matter, not who did the bombing, not how, not why..it just doesn't. What matters is that your loved one is gone. No one, now where, no how, can bring that person back.

So America will move on...we will be forever keep this week tucked away in out collective consciousness..as we do 9/11. We will forever remember the firefighters that died in Texas, the police in Boston...all of them..all the heroes.The families left behind will go on, never the same, ever wondering what would be, if this didn't happen....the rest of us we will pray for them, always keeping them close to our hearts.

America..will be fuzzed together again for the week of tragedy..forever...
