Welcome


Welcome to my little blog Gaye
I can see I will be busy perusing your lovely site I already see some very interesting ideas there at http://mysmallobsessionminiatures.blogspot.com/ and also the projects and printables on your site http://www.mysmallobsession.com/home.html
and lots of interesting minis
thank you

Sorry.....folks

I haven't been able to buy a camera yet to let you see what I have been doing I have made a few of the little sewing boxes from Casey's Tutorial
I went to town yesterday, but nothing I can buy that would be suitable for taking mini photos under $320, so I didn't buy one, it is all very confusing......
I know I need a small pocket camera, point and shoot with a good zoom and good megapixels!!!
Easy you say! nooooo hard! too many other features I don't really want, then the cost goes up!
The main cameras have only 3x zoom I dont think that is enough!
Any hints ladies!

Shabby Chic...mmmm


Look what I found today as I was sorting out at the bottom of my cupboard in a box!!!
"The Sugar Plum Cottage"
Mmm this may be just the right house to make into and fill it with Shabby Chic!
What do you think????
As if I need to start another one.... tch...thinking
I really am trying to finish the tudor it is on its way maybe next week then, I could begin this one!

Welcome


Welcome to you Sabiha
You have lotsa cool stuff and I just really adore your Christmas tree so cute

The Tudors



This is how my tudors should have looked!

Now they are apart it is much easier to work with!

As you can see I have quite a bit to do on this one
Haven't cut out the roof yet!
All the inside is complete with fireplaces that work, well they will, all is wired up!
Not sure what to do with the roof on the plan it said to use spackle or Das, not only is the das expensive but the heaviness of the structure would be too much, even using the spackle, so still thinking about that
