So far this week

 Ive been making a lot of books and thought Id make a bookcase its altered slightly but from the 1/12th scale wicker book. I like it and have decided I must make another wicker chair in white for this room.

 Ive made over a cot below is the original fabric . I like the yellow a lot more :)

 I Bought a tool for setting tiny eyelets ....its called a silent setter so hopefully the next corset I make will have the eyelets for lacing :)

 Heres a little something I found useful while weaving ...a toothpick holder , It held the thread nicely ,kept it clean and allowed me to take the project away with me for a few days.

discount store find

 Ive no idea why the order of these images changed .......anyway this is a lid of a moccona coffee jar decorated for my daughter who has just started scrapbooking ..I filled the jar itself with an assortment of papers glues and embelishments.

 This is the lid reassembled.

 Here is my discount store find :) tiny artificial plants perfect for by the front door to my house :)

As for the new mystery box ....this is what I sent to MiniAussie ,I have the same ....the idea is to build a scene inside it .......should be interesting.

The coffee experiment and peg shoes?

 Here is what the coffee coloured glue sticks look like ...its acceptable from a distance but is great for making kitchen messes :) ha ha . As these glue sticks are for attaching hair extentions I will try to get some blonde and play with those too :)

 I came across a malaysian site http://dmaom.blogspot.com.au/search/label/%E5%AE%B6%E5%85%B7%E6%95%99%E7%A8%8Bfurniture ok thats not the exact page the shoes are on but Im sure you could find them if you are interested ;)

 they are carved from a peg then the uppers are added ...anyway Im giving them a try.

 Ive had a change of heart on the curtains for my bedroom....this is too dark and impossing for me ...

so I thought Id lighten it up with a pale floral and some amazing lace ...well back to it for me I guess I will have to remake pelmets .

welcome rain

 I am making slow progress on my house ...stairways now all complete and time to finish all the windows ....then I can finally get some furniture into a few rooms :)

 This is a little something I found on ebay, coffee coloured glue sticks .....yes Im going to try filling cups with it ;) I will keep you posted on whether or not this is a sucess.

 Making loads of books from free printies :) and a very bad pic of a tiny pin cushion I made.

I live in Tasmania and we have been suffering with bushfires ,high temperatures and severe winds. My friends and family in the state are all ok. Now the fires are in Victoria and NSW so I now worry about friends and family on the mainland, particularily my parents ...they are both volunteer fire fighters and I have not managed to make contact with them for a few days....Im sure they are ok ,just busy protecting people and property.

The case of the lost knickers

 You may have seen this image on Miniaussies blog (for the love of miniatures) well its really interesting because I also sent her panties in the package and they have somehow disappeared...very odd.....so I made her some more and they are on the way to her :)

 here they are ....I made them all different than the origional pair (just incase they turn up at her house or mine) So Im hopping this lot arrives safely :)

 Ive been keeping busy the past few days preparing a kit for our mini group ....Its very simple and Ive never made kits like this before so I hope it ok.

Here is one completed ( well almost lol I fogot to put the plastic on the handles DOH) oh well I still think it looks ok.
Happy New Year everyone ......and please no more lost underwear ;)

Greetings

wishing you all a joyous season and hoping next year will bring good health,happiness and inspiration to us all.

Dry summer and snow.

 Ok those two things dont sound like they go together and they probably shouldn't but let me explain....The summer so far has been hot and dry ...my garden is neglected and I noticed a few things that watering just wouldnt fix. Tiny dried daisy type flowers and a gypsluim plant that had totally dried out. Oh well It will live again in a sense .....I think it will make a great tree for an autumn or winter scene .

 As for the flowers Im going to try and dye some and see what use they will be.

Here is the snow ! ok bad pic but hopefully you get the idea ....its a tiny snow globe made from a wee light globe from my hubbys science lab . The figure in it is a 150th scale railway figure repainted .
