Its getting very cold

morning all

yes its getting cold, its a bit of a shock, we have had such good weather this year, we had got used to being warm, so now its on with the heating and staying in, tome its a good excuse to sit in my work room and do my minis.

I have completed more minis for the fete, I was pleased with my make-up  that I made, I made a small container, used black card to separate the base into four and then used different coloured fimo to make it look like eye make-up. I got a tiny bead cut of some bristles from a paint brush and glued this in the bead, to form a make-up brush, for the lip stick I used part of a connector (used for jewellery making) using red fimo popped this in the connector and this became the lipstick, I had seen this some where on the web, its works well.

I then got some trays and made up trays with perfumes and jewel's,  made some jewellery boxes, enough of me going on why don't I just show you the photo's.

the cot was repainted and decorated, I made the blankets, added a gift basket.

Xmas scene finished, I know Father Christmas is a bit big, but could not resist him

the tiny minis

see the make up

I striped the pram and then repainted it and added fabric

Its been a while

Hi All

Its been a while since I spoke to you. Lots have been happening and I have been busy.
I had a great time at the bike fest,  My project "BUSTED KNUCKLE" went down very well and raised a lot of money for Magpas. I also sold a lot of my craft work.

I picked up some orders,so that kept me busy for a while, I put my minis on Ebay and sold the lot!! so pleased. I then got asked to have a table at the Avon Christmas party in December, in aid of cancer,  I have been busy making minis and crafts to sell.

I went to Edinburgh to stay with my son and his wife and of course to see baby Jack, I got him to myself, which was lovely. They have since been home for a few days, so got to hold him again. They will be back at Christmas.

Jan, from the shop asked me to make some small baby gifts to put in her shop.

I finally got my wet room, this has made my life much easier, After that we decided to freshen up the rest of the bungalow, now waiting for the flooring to be done. 

In amongst all this my sister-in-law gave up the fight she was having with cancer,this is a very sad time for the family,she was only 51 and leaves 2 daughters and 3 grandchildren.
Her funeral was last week. Now hopefully my nieces can begin to pick up their lives.

Anyway, I have been busy making loads of stuff for my table top sale, I will be having a mixture of minis and crafts, this week I need to sort out what I have made and to see what else I need to do.

So you can see I have  been busy, life is beginning to slow down so  hopefully I will now be back to blogging, I have missed it, I have been keeping up to date  with all your blogs and your lovely work.

Right her is the evidence in the form of photos.

Been busy

Hi All

I have been so busy, and it is not doing minis,  I am having a stall at my  sons bike fest in 2 weeks, I  had  put a lot of minis and baby stuff  on Ebay, I  was  thinking that I would use what did not sell for my stall, good idea!! NO!!  I sold nearly all of it. I  now have under 2 weeks to make stuff to put on my stall.

The leader of my son's biker's group, came over last night to take photos of  the helmet, he was very impressed, he said it will be auctioned, and he was putting it on his clubs face book page.

And of course I have been in contact with my son, he has sent me loads of photo's of baby Jack,we have also set up video calls,so I get to see him,  I am counting the days,I go up to Edinburgh 27th of this month.

I brought a new throw for my settee,but the shabby chic cushions I had made did not go with it, so I made new cushion covers, I am making covers with the Scottie dog and owl on them to sell on my stall. have put on a picture.

I have brought another printers shelf, my friend put it up for me, now all I have to do is line it with card and fill it with minis,another excuse to buy minis.
