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

Christmas is coming

Christmas shop, I made nearly everything in the shop, including dressing the dolls
this was sold

Woke up this morning looked out the window it was very icy and cold, lots of frost over the garden, its begining to ;look a lot like Christmas, we have no snow yet but they say its on the way, still busy making my xmas bits, made 14 cards yesterday, to cold to go in my work room, last year I made a Christmas room box so I thought I would show you it

hope you like this one

Welcome Pan

Hi Pan,
welcome to my blog, I hope you find it interesting, thank you for your kind comments, I am really pleased to have you all following me it gives me confidence to know others enjoy my creations,
I am getting stuck on the web site I am trying to create harder than I thought, may have to to talk nicely to my son, if I can get him off his play station long enough to have some sort of conversation, kids!!

the photos

Remembered to take the photos, first up the Xmas decs, these were made by using craft eggs and material, I had to cut up so many squares, fold them into triangles and cover the eggs using pins, hence the sore fingers. I just love them do you like them?

the next lot is the furniture I carefully  took off the varnish around the edges and repainted using Liqued gold, I have to now start to dress them,
well more to do so catch up with you later

morning all

Morning every one
and what a cold one, glad I do not have to go out this morning, we are sitting here with no heating, waiting for workman to come round, my timer panel went last night and we could not get hot water or heat, lucky I have a electric heater that I use in my work room, trouble is it makes my joints very sore and its difficult for me to move so I get very slow, my son always says I am doing my old persons impression, well at least he knows what I will look like.
well that's life these things are sent to try us!!
back to miniatures, I am busy restocking the items that have been sold, came out the blue that one, so making some more stuff to go in my friends shop, just destroying items at the moment ready for me to re do, will have to put before and after pictures on for you to see, make a note to remind me as I get forgetful, last night was so pleased I am making my own Xmas decorations and got some lovely cones finished, used material, but fingers very sore from all the pins I had to push in the egg, curious? will add pictures later, got to get batteries for my camera. add that to my list.
Have been having problems with my other dog, Freebie a little 2 year old Yorkie, she missed Beth a lot and pined for her, she is only now beginning to eat properly and play, worried me for a while, the only thing now is she is very clingy and whats to be with me all the time, can be difficult when I want to go out, I am hoping that she will give me puppies in the new year, I want another dog so does my mum and aunt, will not be selling them do not believe in that would be forever checking up that they are being cared for.
told you I ramble on.
theres the knock on the door, will have to go hopefully heater man

Freebie

bye for now
