Fun Day!

Today was going out day with hubby for lunch on the mountain at the Chocolate Cottage while I was there I decided to go have look for some beads and things at 
 Danish Flower Art Shop and I found some really cute things

Interesting things! some tiny birds I will paint some trays I have made some perfume trays awhile ago so I will do some more 3 square trays but I will add some photos in those to hang in the book box  little clock and an unusual decoration for my tudor

A couple of other little bits there

 I found these 2 pieces of jewellery that I am making a light for the tudor out of, as you see the steps here although the little candles wont work I will be hanging a bulb down in the centre after I hang it up with the chain which Im yet to cut and fix and that will give the impression I need with out paying lots of  dollars for a really perfect one

 Good Idea do you think?

Bits and Pieces

made a couple of things to day but had to go out so not much accomplished in the Book

Planters, basket, birdhouses and scrolls

Thought a bit of colour would brighten up the tree house

And a little blue bird house

Anyone know where I can purchase some tiny birds?

The Enchanted Wood Book Box

I had a little time today to work on the book I have the little base done now and I couldn't wait to pop the mushrooms in, it needs a lot of colour, so I made the shelves sage green.
It looks a little darker than it shows here I have to pop a little light in the basement bit yet I have to order some
The little brown fireplace I'm still working on needs a fire I thought I should put a light in there as well and a chimney yet to be put in!

Still needs a lot of work yet and I dont get a lot of time between keeping house bookwork and my beautiful pets lol
 

SUCH FUN!!!!

The Book

Here we are had a lovely day with Judy yesterday working on the book!

Im still working on the painting haven't quite got the colour right on the basement tree part  I am happy with!

Mmmm I see it needs a fair bit of work as yet!

Now I see it from a distance gives me more perspective and I will be changing that little door for a window and will plaster that

Eye Candy

I love this box I found out  the person who made it

My trip to BMEA

Im back from my little trip to Brisbane so lovely seeing all the ladies again I do miss them!

Pillows for the Slippery slip clock,tea and milk for Moonface

crate to put mushrooms in lolly containers a plate and jug for Moonface

Saucepans for Mr Saucepan Man

Toffee Tins for Moonface

Not very many things, it was so hard to move quickly, the room was full of people and so many things, I  just couldn't really get around easily but Im happy with the purchases if I need any more I just buy online!

BMEA

Im off to the Brisbane Miniaturist open day tomorrow!

So looking forward to seeing all the lovely mini friends I met a few years ago

and to seeing what things i can buy for my latest mini makings!

I made some new business cards to give out just in case 

  I find some new friends to keep in touch with i might even re sub

Hope to add a few new photos tomorrow

Here's a little eye candy

 

I would love to make these little Putz houses

These little glitter houses would be so fabulous for Christmas

dont you think?

I wonder if I can find a nice little mini  lady like Tessie from

http://caseymini.blogspot.com
Maybe I can find her sister, Esmirelda or someone like her

This is looking out Moonface's window and as you see there is Mrs Washalot's washing

 This is all I got done at Judy's this week lo, too much eating and talking I suspect!
 Still loads to do yet

The Book work

well I thought I had better try to move on a little more with the tree book

and have this so far looks really messy but that will all be covered hopefully!

The  basement where food stores and wood will be kept mmm maybe some very interesting creatures will also live under here

 

I have made a place for the slippery slide to be in the centre and a shelf for some storage!

Lots to do yet!

The Book

Well today was a much better day for minis!
Always great to have someone to work with and throw a few ideas around!
So off to my friend Jood's for another session

We have the book to the building stage now
Don't be put off by the messy look, that will all be covered as soon as maybe!

so next the floors are to be laid so off to do that now

Not much done today

I had a huge list!
Firstly to make floorboards for the Tudor then to add the roof section Hubby helped me get the beams ready to stain and glue on before gluing the roof on
well I got ready to finish that this morning and everything went wrong!
The beams I accidentally stained the wrong side and after gluing it all down I looked at it and I saw it
OH BOTHER!!! I had to recut them and re stain them by this time I had enough and gave up and  watched a movie!

This is an old photo of the tudor just a reminder of what I am actually working on

this has been sitting in the shed for 4 years waiting for me to finish

 working on the roof now
