thank you

Thank you for some of the lovely comments I have been reading this morning, its so nice to know that you like my work, it gives me great pleasure when i read the nice things that are said,
anyway bit of a set back, there was me all set to get creating and wham i get a cold, fine i say just carry on as we woman do, but my body had other ideas, lets go a bit further with this it said, so it changes to flu!! well thank you very much, but not content with that my body decides to start on my breathing the upshot was urgent trip to Doctors where it turns out I have strained my rib gage by all the coughing, now you would think with the medication I take, ( I take a lot for my arthritic condition) i would not need any more but good old faithful paracetamol, helped and now getting better, still weak and not up to much but will today hopefully start again to create,
sometime i feel life is out to conspire against me, it will never win, so we keep having these little battles, makes life so interesting.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy new year to you all

now that Christmas and new year is out the way I can again concentrate on my miniatures, I had a very nice Xmas and got lots of goodies, family all round, too much to eat and far to much to drink, thank goodness its over for another year. love it really, but glad to get the decorations down, the house back to normal and a new year to look forward to

So what is happening in my world of miniatures.
My friend had opened a dolls house shop last year, a risky time but she is cooking on gas, selling like mad, it seems it was just what this area was looking for, this also meant that more people got to see my miniatures I had created, and they sold and sold, now I am left with some empty spaces which I have to fill, I am also going to have a go at making curtains, I will try to remember to put them on here

I  will also try to put on a tutorial every week, finish my own dolls house and write my blog regularly, see where I am going here, yes I made some resolutions, and having put them in writing I am hoping that will make me keep them,

so my miniature friends, just to get the housework done, walk the dog and then to my work room see you all there later

up date

morning all
sorry for delay, having to have a few days off, theres me all ready camera loaded, items ready, stepped back and fell over, now suffering with a bad back, so out of action for a few days, i have a condition called RSD, i know fancy words, basically i stay in pain and anything can make it worse, so falling over is not my best idea, but hopefully, it usually only takes a few days then i am back to running around, so my friends will be back as soon as i can
take care

how life conspires against you

I did promise tutorials, got everything done, dog walked, housework finished, started to sort out tutorials for you and guess what battery gone on camera, so will do it tomorrow now, plus had a phone call from my friend who needed a sledge and father christmas for a 6 year old, could I do one, so I have been sitting here trying to come up with something, thank goodness for this months Dolls House and Miniature scene magazine, great project of just what I wanted so using that as a guide made one, had to make it a bit more sturdy and slightly bigger, its getting there, will show you when finished.

too little time, too much to do

Hi all.
first a big thank you to all of you that follow my blog, when I started this I just thought it would be me and only me that looked at this, but day by day I seem to be picking up followers,
I had promised to put on some more tutorials, but forgot that Christmas would be coming and my time would be taken up with other things, have got big withdrawal symptoms and need to get creating fast, to curb them.
Today i have promised myself, get up early, Done, get housework over quickly, well can't do that while I am writing this, walk the dog, then get into my workroom and get some tutorials for you on this blog, so lets see by the end of the day what I get done.
did find a little cabinet that I made some time ago, using beads to make little pots so will be poping a picture for you on at the end of this,
having trouble with doing my web site, think I will have to wait for the new year then get some help, I can manage the basics, but have trouble adding pages ect, anyone have any tips would love to hear,
hopefully then I can start to sell my miniatures from the site, have done Ebay in the past, but with the costs and hassle its not worth it, maybe if you are a power sellar and sell lots at a time its good, but for me who takes time to make my miniatures it does'nt seem to work, so web page really needed.
there I go rambling again, told you thats what I do.
so will leave you with the picture of the cabinet and catch up with you all later

up date

what a week, computer went down, I did not know how much I missed it, still it gave me a chance to catch up on some chores, I did get round to finishing off my decorations, and the tree is up all lit up and looking pretty, now I just have to get my son to get the rest of my decs from out of the loft, I have some lovely father christmas figuires that I got in Germany, and I get them out every year, must remember to take some pictures, I have also been making my Christmas cards, buying presents, starting the food shopping, got the family coming christmas day but have managed to get invites out for the rest of the holidays, have not done much on my miniatures, i redressed 3 beds, and dressed a dressing table.









Pictures of what I have been making, these are now for sale in my friends shop.
I have also been putting together some more projects and I hope next week to start putting them on.
how are you all coping with the snow and cold, I am only going out when I really need to, anyway you all take care, keep a look out for the projects
