we still have sun

Hi All

yes we still have SUN, and its here for a few more days, yippee!! and we are still hotter than abroad, I know I am bragging, will stop now.

Have got to say Hello to my new followers, hope you stay awhile and enjoy my blog, leave a comment, I love comments.

I finally got back to doing some minis this weekend, how is it when I am doing a project my mind can wander and I start something else, I now have 3 on the go, yesterday when I was in my garden, I came across a lovely piece of wood, now I do not usually do modern miniatures, but something about this shape shouted at me, coffee table, so after I cleaned it up, sanded it down, varnished it, I added some tiny concrete blocks and I have a coffee table, and I like it. What do you think?

this is the wood I found

varnished and placed on the blocks

the next thing I worked on was my new project for the club, I had made the floor but was not really happy with it, and while I was looking for material to use for this project I came across a piece that I thought would work even better, so I replaced the floor with this and I am so glad I did, I love it now, I put some more paint on, this time using red. I also made the floor higher so that it will fit in better, It coming on nicely, I now have to work out how to drape the material on the inside, more thought needed.

the picture does not really show the floor very well, in the centre there is a satin bird.

I have not forgotten my duck coop, I have managed to dress dad, there has been a lot of swearing, sweating, screaming, but I finally got there, remind me not to try to dress something that has a long tail sticking out the back!!!, I also put skirting board around the coop and started to make a little floor in the roof,

Well as you can see I have been busy, tomorrow is another day, see you then

this is a new blog, watch it from the very beginining, I am sure it will grow and grow and be full of interesting things

Hi All
I am still enjoying our lovely hot weather, I have been working on the garden, my mum and dad brought me 12 shrubs, so they have gone in the back of the garden, its really beginning to look pretty. Last year for my birthday my son brought me 4 mini fruit trees, they are doing very well, except the pear tree, it looks like the frost may of got it, but have left it in to see if it perks up.

Have done a bit of mining, I started on the Moroccan project, I am going to the club Monday night and I thought I had better make a start, I sprayed it white, and have started to paint it, I have used gold to begin with, I also have made the flooring, I drew the shape of the base and then cut up tiny squares from some lovely shinny paper I had got, I then laid this on the base.

I made another bicycle today this time in pink, and ecorated it with flowers.

well thats my news for today.
here are some photos for you

I've been enjoying the sun

Hi All
Yes its official we have sun, its hot, hot, hot, we have been hotter than Spain, sorry,
so I have not done any minis, I have been doing my garden, planting out some plants, my mum and dad gave me 6 shrubs for my birthday, (its not till July) but they thought I could use them now.  I am trying to make my garden easier for me, I find it is harder for me to look after it, so I am putting loads of shrubs in to cut back, hopefully on the weeding.

I did pop to town today, I had not visited my junk shops for a while, I was very glad I went, have a look at what I got

this lovely book cost only £2.00, see below what was also in it

Antique bronzing kit and Antique copper verdigris, both brand new for £3.00 each.

this candle holder £1.00.


I got the candle holder as I am going to a new dolls house club on Monday and we have to make a miniature scene from something unusual, I saw this and thought Moroccan, what do you think,
Well off to water my plants.

It was hot!!!

Hi All
no minis to show you today, yesterday was hot, yes hot, so my son, his friend and myself, worked on the garden, well they worked I supervised. It was the fist day we could get out and start tidying it up, I have an area where we sit under the Wisteria, next week I am having it gravelled, so it needs clearing up and getting ready. We have nearly got it cleared, son finishing it today.

I have an tatty plastic table outside, it really looked like it was ready for the rubbish tip, but I found in my stash, 4 cans of beige spray, got them cheap some time ago, I always knew I would use them, so I am spraying the table, and I am going on to do the chairs as well, I never like to throw anything away, love to recycle.

Going out today to my mums, we usually go shopping, I visit the local junk shops to look for goodies, and the sun is out again today, its going to be HOT!!
