I have 75 followers!


Wow! I am amazed that so many people are enjoying my blog enough to follow it. Thank you so much! Please help me welcome Stephen of http://nikonsniper.blogspot.com/. Stephen has some wonderful photographs on his blog of various subjects. Stop by and take a look.

New project coming soon

Hi everyone! I'm away for the weekend with my husband for our anniversary. We've done a lot of antique shopping and found the perfect tin breadbox to turn into a diner. At the oldfashioned hardware store, my hubby helped me to find the perfect pieces to make stools for the counter. I found a sink/cabinet at another shop. It's obviously meant to be!

Photos and more later, once I am home again.

Mercedes inspired me

Mercedes over at www.libertybiberty.blogspot.com made a beautiful little shabby display coffee table from a picture frame. I tried a similar project and this is the result. I will have to make my own little shabby room now. Anything so I can start a new project, lol.


Small World summer contest entry

Now that the winners have been announced I can show you my "Picnic in the Park". I made all of the food except for three slices of the watermelon. Burgers, potato salad and cherry pie...yum!

The 4x4x4 Challenge

Mary of Miz Mary's Minis http://mizmaryminis.blogspot.com/sent me this challenge: 1. open the 4th file where you store your photos 2. pick out the 4th photo & publish it to your blog 3. explain a bit about it 4. pass this challenge to 4 other blogs. This challenge has been circulating Bloglandia the past few days and I will rise to meet it.This picture is of my entry in the Small World miniatures forum Autumn contest. I made all of the leaves, the little boy and his dog.
The only part of this challenge I'm not going to do is pass it on to four other blogs as it's been making the rounds rather quickly.

Sometimes even mini teens can be difficult


Meet Brittani. She's 16 and at heart she's a "good" girl but she likes to keep her parents guessing. That explains the nose piercing, the tattoo on her ankle, the heavy makeup, and the blonde and black hair. Brittani is dressed in leggings, denim mini skirt and fitted top with a black belt. She's wearing flip flops and is listening to her ipod (permanently attached). She has large silver hoop earrings, a nose ring and a tiny heart tattoo on her ankle.

Wigging dolls is not my favorite part but I don't usually have too much trouble with it. Brittani was not very cooperative. The hair I'd planned to use was just too stiff and didn't glue well. I tried two more wigs with roving hair and then, finally, on the 4th try was successful. The two toned look suits her personality.
