Stonework

From an egg carton to stonework and how I ran with the idea!!

I'm feeling very creative lately and trying something new......

With time and patience this method is awesome according to my NY friend, Eloise Moorehead, who passed on the idea.

The Stonework Fireplace can be found in my Etsy shop.

The Love of Nature

Another pleasure of mine is gardening, nature, wildlife and when an opportunity arises - photography. Capturing a photo of the critters who watch me is always fun.
I know - on my next blog I'd best get back to the subject of miniatures!

RASPBERRIES

Enjoying my Raspberry patch this summer
and my first Raspberry pie came out great!!

Lotjes Dollshouse

How interesting it is to see where my miniatures eventually live and how they become part of an imagination - brought to life.

Flattered to do business with Sylvia from afar - The Netherlands - then to see her fantastic miniature rooms on her blog, Lotjes Dollhouse.
True to life in every way. They are WONDERFUL!!

Her Art Studio is so realistic - the crocked floor boards, the peeling paint, clothes line, draping paint rags, art supplies everywhere....so much to see!

Then seeing my Gesso Jar and Crates included and how she used them, completes their journey - and satisfies me.

BUOYS, BUOYS, BUOYS..........

What's up with the buoys?
Not sure why they're so popular, but they are!
I have made MANY - sold many and always need to make more.
Thanks to all my buoy lovers!!

Women's Health Magazine

Yet another flattering feature of one of my miniatures....... That's my ladder used in a photo shot for Women's Health Magazine.
