Prayers please

Hi All

its not often I reveal much about my personal life but this time I need your help, my lovely sister in law has been diagnosed the cancer and it is inoperable, they have given her months to live, she is only 50, the family is devastated, she is going to have a stent put in on Monday to make her more comfortable, it is so sad, her eldest daughter is having her first baby, due 31st August. so if you who do believe please help me and pray, Thank you.

It is times like this when I am so grateful for my minis, they help me to escape from reality and lose myself in the world of mini making.

more Kopy Kat minis

Hi All

after all that sunshine we have now had rain for 3 days, but they are saying tomorrow the sunshine will be back, hope so I have a pile of wet washing to get out on the washing line, oh the joys of real life.

On to minis, I continue with my Kopy Kat minis, there is so many I want to do, see what you think of these ones.

Plus so pleased I have wanted  a printers draw for a long time and I finally got one, it is now on my wall, with my collection of Reutter miniatures and other minis that I like to collect, the only problem is I have some empty spaces, will have to work on filling them.

Love this one

Hi All

thank you for your lovely comments about my Kopy Kat minis, it gives me pleasure to know that you not only read my blog, but like what I create.

Well I am carrying on with my Kopy Kat minis, the idea for this started when I was going through my stash of minis, ( I have loads) and I thought I had better start reducing my stash.
I wanted to do something different with them, so I looked Pinterest ( I love Pinterest, can spend hours on it) and I looked at everything I love and what I would love in my own home, and bingo! why not make it in miniature. I also decided that I did not want to buy anything and it all must be made from my stash. so it began.

This next one, I would dearly love to have in my own home but would not have the room, I made this one by using a old door I had, made the small table in front from card and wood,
the glass vase is a plastic straw cut to size, the sign is a printie put on wood, the watering cans, flowers and basket came from my stash.
I painted this in dark grey and then painted it over in pale grey, then gave it a lightly sanding. The chair came from my stash and I painted it to match the unit. I still need to do the large jug and flowers.

I  also took another photo of the green cabinet again, this time it came out green.
have a look
