Welcome to my life . . . .

This is a blog about my passion: dollhouses and miniatures. This particular blog was started to follow my miniature dream: to create a Victorian Mansion. But work on my Mansion is slow. Very slow. Sloth slow. Ice Age glacier movement slow. Why? Because I am easily distracted by other personal miniature projects (I have 50+ roomboxes and 15 dollhouses in various stages of incompletion) and because I work for a miniature shop and am often up to my elbows in miniature projects that aren't mine! So, I thought, some artists work in a particular medium (woods, watercolors, clay, oils, etc.), I work in progress . . . .

Mini Mother's Day (I forgot to post this; how embarrassing)

For Mother's Day I was gifted some free time and I used it to play with FIMO. I created a String of Turtles plant, one little leaf at a time, in order to make sure it draped and hung over the edge of the pot correctly.

Feeling pretty confident after that plant success, I continued on with the FIMO and created some popcorn for a future Christmas scene I want to make (probably in 2028 or 2029 at this rate).


Had lots of fun playing, but now my special saw blade for cutting acrylics has arrived and I have purchased the plexiglass sheets so the only thing holding me back from my next project is my procrastination! 

(Update: I forgot to post this back in May! I didn't realize until I got on to share what I've been doing the past few months and discovered it sitting here. So I'm posting it now and will post again in mid-October to share the update on my mansion.)
