The boat

This is Saffie who was kidnapped from a harem!

She asked me never to put her near the Pirate Morgan

So she is bringing the water in

this photo was taken before I made the trunk

Morgan sleeping it off after drinking the flagon!

Seamans house

Here is the Seamans boat well it really is a pirate!

And His trunk

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

Just Luv your blog at http://sabsminiinteriors.blogspot.com/

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

Miniature Magazine

Have you all checked out the FREE January Miniature Magazine at

Welcome

Welcome to my place Nuri from Spain at http://mininuris.blogspot.com/

So inviting, Don't you think?

I have a lounge like that I need to make miles of cushions Im onto it!

I should make a room box just like this!
I luv Meg Ryan! She is gorgeous!

I luv this room

Don't you just love this room from "Your've got Mail"

I just love everything about it!

The warmth of the whole room is relaxing and comfy I adore books and I like the mix of furniture, yes that is how I like my home to be!!

the Tudor pair

This is my 2 Tudor houses that used to be one whole on and I cut it in half!

My Hubby was most upset, I can't say I blame him!

So these have to be finished!

Big JOB!!!!!

Wooden things

Seems this week I am trying to get the wooden Tole done instead of minis
I do need to get these done before Christmas and as I am not a very steady or fast painter I need a fair bit of time!
these both are 16inches high
The tree is going to be white! That will be easy I will spray it!
It has a squirrel as you see, which we don't have here lol, as a separate piece
Yes I should do a kangaroo huh! Oh well maybe I will change at the last minute as I am apt to do!

This doll will have a basket of flowers well hopefully when I finish I only just began this today so a little bit to do as yet! I will have a block of wood on the bottom to make it more

secure

My picnic basket

my Cute Picnic basket

Inside the basket I made plates cups and a thermos

Welcome

Welcome to my Blog Maite!

The Disney store is gorgeous and that dollshop is every girls dream

The big house is really lovely and I adore Gran in the bed while Granpa sleeps in the Chair

Busy Busy Busy

Shame I haven't got to the minis for a while!
We had visitors for a couple of days and had such fun,they have gone home now.
Since then I have been very busy keeping up with my husband who cannot drive as yet, so he had me all over the city yesterday we left at 9am to meet with his worker, then home for a bit,then to another appointment at 11am, back home for lunch then to the Physio at 1pm, back to his work place 25 minutes away from our house, then I went to my sons house to do a few chores for him and didn't get home till 6pm! Whew I was so tired!
For a person to only go out 3 days a week to everyday for 7 weeks is all a bit much!
WHY?? cause NO MINIS!!!!!lol I guess it won't be long and I will be saying!
Gosh it's boring around here !

Shabby painting

Now this was the hardest of all very small to be painting nice clear lines

Not sure about this one

"Not happy Jan!"

Shabby painting

Then I tried this one!

mmmmmm it looks a bit bashed up I wouldn't have it my bedroom or any other room for that matter lol

Been dragged behins a ttruck I think! lol

I had a hard time painting over the brown with the white and now it looks a bit think maybe Im using the wrong paint!

Shabby Chic alright lol

I thought I would make a bookcase to play around with the Shabby paintwork and I made it out of card
then I painted it pink and top coat 3 times of off white and this is how it came out

Mm Im not sure
